Matchday 2 in the EPL

I had some issues with my pc at work yesterday and was not able to spend all of my time watching Man U take on Portsmouth. I did catch the second half of the Chelsea v Reading match, which saw Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba score on beautiful pieces of skill in the first five minutes, to overtake Reading's 1-0 lead. Chelsea continued to attack and looked particularly strong down the left flank, with Ashley Cole,Malouda and Solomon hooking up to feed the ball into Drogba and Lampard while creating chances for themselves. Malouda has quickly adapted to life at Stamford Bridge and it will be interesting to see his development this year, playing off of Ashley Cole, who arrived last year from crosstown rivals Arsenal. I'm particularly looking forward to Chelsea v Liverpool on Sunday. Portsmouth managed to come back to tie Manchester United, who have now only taken 2 points in as many games. They will have to regain some form, absent Wayne Rooney who will be out six weeks according to original reports. And Cristiano Ronaldo got sent off for a headbutt on Richard Hughes near the end of the match. Ronaldo will miss United's next three games, further compunding their difficulties in attack. As of right now, Everton, Manchester City and Chelsea are top of the table, with six points each. Of the players with two goals, Obafemi Martins of Newcastle United is definitely my favorite.
