LONDON (Reuters) - Chelsea and Manchester United maintained their unbeaten starts to the Premier League season on Sunday as English football mourned the passing of goalscoring great Jimmy Greaves.

Chelsea, the club with whom Greaves began his career, won 3-0 at Tottenham Hotspur, for whom the forward netted a club record 266 goals, thanks to a dominant second-half display.

However, the day was overshadowed by the news that Greaves, who played for Chelsea, Spurs, AC Milan and West Ham in an illustrious career, had died aged 81. Both sets of fans gave a rousing minute's applause to Greaves while some of his former colleagues were in attendance. "It was simply too sloppy and not sharp enough in the first half," Tuchel, whose side have kept 15 Premier League clean sheets since he took charge in January, told reporters.

It was a fine recovery for United who lost to Swiss club Young Boys in the Champions League in midweek when Lingard's terrible late back pass cost them.
