On Saturday afternoon, matches of the "Premier" League's 2nd round were played in stadiums in England and Wales.
One of the favorites of the championship, London's "Chelsea" players, only broke through the defense of the league newcomers "Leicester City" at home in the second half.
The visitors, who had quite a few chances, faltered in the 63rd minute when Diego Costa shot the ball into the goal after a penalty area scramble. This was already the second goal of the Spaniard in the country's championship.
Soon, after just over 10 minutes, the score doubled. Eden Hazard, who dodged the entire defense, shot towards the goal, and the ball hit the net after ricocheting.
In other matches, victories were celebrated by the clubs "Swansea City" and "West Ham United".
At home, the "Swans" defeated another group of newcomers, the "Burnley" players, by a narrow margin. Nathan Dyer scored in the first half.
Meanwhile, Sam Allardyce's players won 3-1 away against the "Crystal Palace" players. Mauro Zarate, Stewart Downing, and Carlton Cole scored goals for the victors. Maroune Chamakh scored for the hosts.
Also today, two goalless matches were recorded. "Aston Villa" played a draw at home against "Newcastle United", while "Southampton" could not overcome the resistance of "West Bromwich".
