Newcastle Lacking Premier League Consistency

The Tyneside team lost their first game of the season on Monday following a 4-1 defeat at Leeds. Newcastle were second best with 0.88-2.08 XG, trailed 4-0 after 59 minutes and Bazoumana Toure scored a late consolation.
Hull Causing Upsets in the Top Flight

The Tigers secured back-to-back victories in their first two top-flight games. A 2-0 home win over Man United came before a 1-0 victory at Coventry.
Hull continued their solid start and held Aston Villa to a goalless home draw, facing just one shot on target.
Sergej Jakirovic’s side then drew 2-2 at Chelsea. The Tigers trailed after seven minutes and Mohamed Belloumi scored a brace before Chelsea hit back with 25 minutes remaining.
