Chelsea sets historic Premier League record

Chelsea has established a unique record in the Premier League. The team has become the first in the history of the competition to score a goal within the first five minutes of each of their three opening matches of the new season.

Previously, a similar feat was achieved by Newcastle, although the Magpies scored within the first five minutes of three consecutive games in December 2024, rather than at the very start of a campaign. Chelsea's achievement marks a new benchmark for English top-flight clubs.

This streak highlights the team's ability to put opponents under immediate pressure from the opening seconds of a match. The club is currently continuing its fixture against Arsenal.
