Wearing the number 23 shirt for the first time, Emiliano Martínez put in a standout performance for Aston Villa, who beat West Ham 2-1 in the Premier League opener, where Liverpool also had a successful debut following the departure of Jürgen Klopp.
As he does with the Argentine national team, Dibu looked for his favourite number and debuted it with a good victory, despite suffering a penalty goal from Brazilian Lucas Paquetá, who deceived him with a feint and scored the partial equaliser for West Ham. However, Belgian Amadou Mvom Onana and Colombian Jhon Durán gave Aston Villa the victory.
Another member of the Scaloneta, Guido Rodríguez, made his debut for the London team. He started in the midfield and was replaced five minutes from the end by Danny Ings.
In other results from the first matchday, Liverpool, with Alexis Mac Allister as a starter, defeated Ipswich 2-0 with goals from Portuguese Diogo Jota and Egyptian Mohamed Salah in the match that marked the official debut of Dutchman Arne Slot. In addition, runners-up Arsenal beat Wolverhampton 2-0 with goals from German Kei Havertz and Bukayo Saka.
Meanwhile, with Valentín Barco on the bench and without Facundo Buonanotte, who had transferred to Leicester, Brighton beat Everton 3-0, while Newcastle beat Southampton 1-0, who had Carlos Alcaraz come on for the last ten minutes. In the remaining match of the day, Nottingham Forest drew 1-1 with Bournemouth. In the match played on Friday, Manchester United had beaten Fulham 1-0.
This Sunday, champions Manchester City will open the game against Chelsea. Brentford will also host Crystal Palace. Leicester will play Tottenham on Monday.
