EPL Table: Opening Results, Scores and 2018 Premier League Standings

Manchester United beat Leicester City 2-1 in the Premier League's opening match of the 2018/19 season at Old Trafford on Friday.

Captain Paul Pogba got the hosts off to the perfect start on three minutes. He stroked a penalty past goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel after Daniel Amartey had been penalised for handball.

The Red Devils added a second late on as defender Luke Shaw scored his first goal for the club. The left-back raced into the box and took a poor touch, but he managed to collect the ball and guide it home.

Substitute Jamie Vardy grabbed one back for Leicester in stoppage time, but it's the Red Devils who pick up the first three points of the season.
