LONDON : 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.
Brighton & Hove Albion are up with the early pacesetters after a 2-1 home win over Leicester City lifted them into fourth place with 12 points, one behind Chelsea, Liverpool and United. Nowhere was the news of Greaves' passing felt more than at a rainy Tottenham Hotspur Stadium where the two clubs he graced with such distinction played out a London derby in front of a crowd of 60,000.
N'Golo Kante, who came on at halftime, made it 2-0 with a heavily-deflected shot shortly afterwards and Antonio Rudiger's late goal took Chelsea level at the top with Liverpool.Manager Thomas Tuchel said he was unhappy with his side's attitude in the opening period but whatever he said at halftime worked wonders as Chelsea moved through the gears.
Jesse Lingard, who impressed on loan for the Hammers last season, struck in the 89th minute for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side who were indebted to David De Gea's stoppage-time penalty save from West Ham substitute Noble.
