During the matches of the second round played on Saturday, the goals of newcomers - Robin van Persie and Shinji Kagawa - led to the first victory of the "Man Utd" team in the new English Premier League season.
The "Red Devils" defeated London's "Fulham" 3-2 in front of their own fans, even though the visitors took the lead first - in the third minute, Damien Duff scored past David De Gea after a set piece.
After less than 10 minutes, striker van Persie opened his goal account in his new team and equalized the match - 1-1. In the first half, Kagawa and Rafael scored precise goals, making Sir Alex Ferguson smile.
In the 64th minute, the capital club narrowed the gap when Nemanja Vidic scored an own goal, but that did not stop the "Man Utd" players from recording their first three points in the league table.
However, the victory was overshadowed by an injury to Wayne Rooney, who left the field on crutches after a substitution.
Meanwhile, the "Chelsea" tandem continues their series of excellent performances, with Eden Hazard leading the way, this time beating the "Newcastle" team 2-0 at Stamford Bridge stadium.
The Belgian, who cost £35 million, successfully converted a penalty and provided an assist to Fernando Torres.
London's "Tottenham" players lost two points in the last minutes after conceding a goal from the "W.B.A." team, ending the match in a 1-1 draw.
The new "Spurs" coach, Andre Villas-Boas, cannot boast of a great start to the season, as they have earned only one point in their first two matches.
The Spanish forward Michu, who came from the Primera Division, became the fastest player to score three goals in the Premier League, as his team "Swansea" crushed London's "West Ham" 3-0 at home and now sits in second place in the league table.
The match between "Sunderland" and "Reading" was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
