Premier League: Newcastle, Brighton off to winning starts as late Bournemouth goal holds Forest to a draw
The Premier League is off to a feisty start as half of the games on the opening weekend have now taken place.
Everton head coach Sam Allardyce on Friday heaped praise on his new loan signing Eliaquim Mangala and said he can provide balance to the side with his playing ability.
The French defender was signed from Manchester City on loan until the end of the ongoing season.
“He is naturally left footed, who will not only be defensively better but also better in both areas. He will give us better balance,” Allardyce said.

“You can see the other night that our strength lay down the right hand side,” he added.
