That feeling when you score against Barcelona 😛

<p>Is this Barcelona's forever reality now? They haven't been the dominant side here, and though Athletic Club's only just scored, it wasn't the away team who were always looking more likely to score.</p> <p>Antoine Griezmann has been pretty much nowhere all game, with Martin Braithwaite having a couple of decent chances – but failing to convert when needed.</p> <center> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="eu">🕒 50' Athletic 1-0 Barcelona <a href="https://t.co/3vLCON75xw">pic.twitter.com/3vLCON75xw</a></p> — Goal (@goal) <a href="https://twitter.com/goal/status/1429188993460187143?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 21, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></center>

WATCH: Dzeko's debut goal

<p>A very comfortable evening for the Serie A champions as they open the 2021-22 Serie A campaign as they mean to go on. They got four goals, could have had a few more, and will be pleased to silence some doubters following a testing summer of transfer activity.</p> 

FT: Inter 4-0 Genoa

<p>All over at the Amex, with the home side taking the spoils. Graham Potter's side have taken six points from six and sit second in the table as things stand. Seagulls flying high early in 2021-22.</p> 

FT: Brighton 2-0 Watford

<p>They aren't done yet! A fourth for Inter two minutes from the end. Dzeko gets in on the act - on his 200th Serie A appearance and debut for Inter - with the towering frontman with a trademark header from close range.</p> 

GOAL: Inter 4-0 Genoa

<p>Watford's turn to have a goal ruled out. King, fresh from the bench, brushes off his marker and feeds the ball to Dennis. He cuts inside his man and finishes well, but the flag is up. Still no way back for the Hornets.</p>

Happy to be back among the goals

<p>Inter denied by the flag for a second time. Calhanoglu this time, who crashes a volley into the top corner from around the penalty spot. Perisic put over a cross from the left, but he made his move too soon and was offside again.</p>

Notable landmark

<p>Very comfortable for the hosts at San Siro. They burst out of the blocks and have not given Genoa much of a look in. Very impressive and an early market being put down by the Serie A title holders.</p> 

HT: Inter 2-0 Genoa

<p>Perisic thinks he has a third for Inter in first-half stopage-time, but he strayed offside when racing through and the effort is chalked off. Very close, and a nice finish, but it won't count.</p> 

Goal ruled out for Inter

<p>The Seagulls in complete control at the interval, with Shane Duffy's bullet header getting them on their way. Neal Maupay may have wrapped up back-to-back wins, with Watford struggling to find a foothold in the game.</p> 

HT: Brighton 2-0 Watford

<p>Maupay doubles the Seagulls' lead five minutes before the break. Sloppy defending from Watford as they try and play out from the back, allowing Maupay to steal in and deliver a composed finish. His second in as many games this season.</p> 

GOAL: Brighton 2-0 Watford

<p>Jack Grealish scored on his home debut for Manchester City in their 5-0 win over Norwich, with Pep Guardiola of the opinion that he can become as prolific as England team-mate Raheem Sterling.&nbsp;<br> The Blues boss has said: “If he gets the mentality to score goals like Raheem, yeah (he can score more).<br> “When Raheem was here when I first arrived he didn't have goals in his mind and we immediately changed his arrival.<br> “Today he scored because he arrives in the centre, he’s a machine there.<br> “He changed his mind and decided he was going to score. Jack has this mentality to score goals and win games as well.<br> “But if he has the Raheem mentality then he can do it, too.”</p>

Inter back on home soil

Gabriel Jesus was not on the scoresheet for Manchester City in their 5-0 win over Norwich, but he did provide two assists and was a threat throughout. He has been speaking to <em>BBC Sport</em> and said: “I think it was a good game for the team – we played quickly, passed the ball, made runs in behind, try to score a goal – that’s what we have to do all the games. <p>“After the result last game, everyone knows we can do a little bit better and we tried today. It was a difficult game, Norwich try to play a lot and that I think was good for us – when teams try to play against us, we can play well.</p> <p>“I feel good, I’m getting my confidence back, my energy back. I like to play all the time, wherever the manager tries to play me, I try to do my best always.</p> <p>“On the national team, I play more on the right side. We have a lot of good strikers, good wingers – Riyad (Mahrez) and Raheem (Sterling) came on and scored – and we have a very good team.”</p> 

A job well done

<p>Serie A champions Inter are also fast approaching kick-off this evening, with the Nerazzurri and their new No.9 - with Edin Dzeko stepping into the shoes of Romelu Lukaku - opening their title defence at home to Genoa.</p>

Moment to remember for City starlet

<p>Game over at the Etihad, with Laporte adding a third for the Blues. He misses his first header from a corner, but the ball breaks back his way and he turns home from close range.</p> 

GOAL: Man City 3-0 Norwich

<p>Lascelles blocks the ball inside the box with his arm, leading to a penalty for the Villans after a VAR check. El Ghazi takes, with Ings off spot-kick duty this week, and sends Woodman the wrong way.</p>

GOAL: Leeds 1-2 Everton

<p>Liverpool were 2-0 winners over Burnley in today's lunchtime kick-off, with Jurgen Klopp happy with the battling qualities on show from his side. He has told <em>BT Sport</em>:&nbsp;"We always had to be ready for a proper fight and we were today.</p> <p>"You saw these challenges with Barnes and Wood and Virgil and Joel. I’m not 100 per cent sure if [officials] are going in the right direction with these decisions. It’s like we’re going 10 to 15 years backwards. The rules are like they are, but you cannot defend these situations. That’s how it makes the game really tricky.</p> <p>"In a lot of moments, we played a brilliant game without scoring. In all the other moments we had to fight incredibly hard. We won it and nobody got injured."</p> 

Happy Klopp

Notable first for DCL

<p>Cooper with a foul on Calvert-Lewin that eventually sees a penalty given after a long VAR check. It takes an age for the spot-kick to be taken, but Calvert-Lewin sticks it away on the half-hour mark.</p>

Work to do for Dortmund

<p>Torres thinks he's doubled City's lead, but it won't count. &nbsp;Graham Scott advised to check the pitchside monitor for a possible foul in the build-up by Bernardo Silva, and he chalks the effort off. Norwich hanging on.</p>
