EPL Results Week 1: Saturday’s 2016 Premier League Scores, Top Scorers and Table

Ronald Koeman earned a 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur in his first Premier League outing as Everton manager on Saturday after Erik Lamela headed in to cancel out Ross Barkley’s early free-kick opener.

The Toffees were in charge for much of the Goodison Park clash, but Lamela scored against the run of play to snatch Spurs a share of the spoils in their trip to Merseyside.   

Elsewhere, reigning champions Leicester City got their 2016-17 campaign off to a miserable start after dropping to a 2-1 defeat at Hull City, while Leroy Fer scored to give Swansea City a late 1-0 win at promoted Burnley.

There were two other 1-1 results to speak of on the opening day of the season, too, as Southampton drew at home to 10-man Watford, where Ben Watson was sent off, and Stoke City scraped a point at Middlesbrough. Salomon Rondon scored the only goal at Selhurst Park to give West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis a 1-0 win over former club Crystal Palace.

No player managed to score more than once in the afternoon kick-offs, but Manchester City will hope to correct that when they host Sunderland in the late fixture.

Read on for a roundup of Saturday’s results, latest standings and a breakdown of the Premier League top-scorer table as things stand.
