Morning Post: The first round of the Premier League is over! Manchester City leads the standings, and the newly promoted Sunderland sweeps the old powerhouse!

Morning Post: The first round of the Premier League in 2025-2026 season has ended. Let’s take a look at the Premier League that is crazy about signings in the summer window. Which one is happy and which one is sad in the new season.

Currently ranked first in the standings, Blue Moon Manchester City. In the first round, they swept Wolves 4:0, and Haaland scored twice, but the best performance was Reindes, who transferred from AC Milan in the summer window. He tried his best on the defensive end and contributed a goal and one assist on the offensive end, which was perfect.

ranked second with Premier League promotion team Sunderland. The amount of their recruitment in the summer window was as high as 165 million euros. It can be said that they have put in a lot of effort to relegate, and the effect of crazy recruitment was also very significant. They defeated West Ham United 3:0 in the first round.

ranks third with the European Union champion Tottenham Hotspur. The team's big brother Son Heung-min ran away this season. Fortunately, the team's reinforcement was done well. In this game, Kudus performed well as a new player.

ranked fourth with Liverpool last season's champion, but encountered great resistance in the first round, and Bournemouth resisted tenaciously, but Liverpool still won 4:0 in the end.

The fifth place is Nottingham Forest. Nottingham Forest, which was a dark horse last season, still maintained good strength and successfully defeated Brentford 3:1 in the first round.
