A $130 million striking sensation, a marvelous overhead kick, and a high flying newcomer stole the show in the Premier League

• Romelu Lukaku, Danny Ings, and Brentford all starred in the second round of the Premier League.
• Lukaku netted on his second Chelsea debut, while Ings scored a superb overhead kick for Aston Villa.
• Elsewhere, Manchester United was held to a draw by Southampton at St. Mary's.

Chelsea FC striker Romelu Lukaku was the weekend's big winner in another thrilling round of English Premier League action.

The Belgian, who re-signed for the Blues in a $133 million deal from Inter Milan earlier this month, took just 15 minutes to score on his second debut for the club as it brushed aside Arsenal 2-0 at The Emirates Stadium.

Lukaku swept home Reece James' cross from close range before celebrating by holding his head in his hands, clearly overwhelmed by the emotion of the moment.

A boyhood Chelsea fan, Lukaku first moved to Stamford Bridge in 2011 as a teenager, but made just a handful of appearances before being loaned out and eventually sold.

"It was great, something that I dreamed of for many, many years - since I was 10 years old," Lukaku said.

"To have those fans not supporting only me but the team. To be able to be part of this is great, I've always wanted this. I want this to continue."

Danny Ings scored a stunner for Aston Villa

Ings scored 34 Premier League goals for Southampton over the last two seasons before being snapped up by Villa for the bargain price of $34 million.

And he's now hit two goals in two games for his new club.

The Englishman scored from the penalty spot on his debut against Watford last weekend, before he netted against Newcastle United on Saturday - smashing in a brilliant a overhead kick to open the scoring in a deserved 2-0 win.

"What a feeling," Ings, 29, said on Instagram after the match.

Brentford proved it means business

Newcomers Brentford were among the bookmakers favorites to be relegated from the Premier League ahead of the new campaign.

However, two matches in and Thomas Frank's side has more than proved its got what it takes to stay up.

After a thrilling 2-0 victory over Arsenal on the opening weekend, Brentford kept Crystal Palace at bay on Saturday to secure a hard-fought 0-0 draw and keep up its undefeated top flight streak.

Though rarely threatening Palace's goal, the Bees never looked in danger of conceding, with a back three of Ethan Pinnock, Kristoffer Ajer, and Pontus Jansson managing to keep the ever-dangerous Wilfried Zaha quiet.

Brentford faces Aston Villa, Wolves, and Brighton next up. If it can continue to perform like it has against Arsenal and Palace, the team will be well on their way to securing safety.

United slip at the second hurdle

An opening day 5-1 thumping of Leeds United had Manchester United fans already dreaming of what might be this season.

However, against Southampton on Sunday, the ghosts of last season came back to haunt Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side as it was held to a 1-1 draw.

The Saints went ahead on the day courtesy of deflected own-goal from Brazilian midfielder Fred, before Mason Greenwood levelled after the break.

Despite dominating possession, a lack of ruthlessness in the final third meant United was unable to find a winner.

Southampton's Stuart Armstrong could have also easily won the match for the home side after capitalizing on an error Harry Maguire. United was rescued by keeper David De Gea, who parried the striker's shot wide.

"Overall, I think we created enough chances to win it and played some decent football at times," said Solskjaer after the draw.

"Then again we could have lost it but for a very good save from David [De Gea]. It's a point from a losing position but it's not what we wanted."
