On the last day before the transfer window closed Manchester City signed Robinho in an English record signing of £32 million. And it all started very well for the Brazilian international. After just 12 minutes into his City career Robinho scored on a free-kick to secure a 1 – 0 lead.
Chelsea later won the game 1 – 3 but Robinho made a good debut and City fans will hope he continues his scoring form.
Substitute Ryan Babel scored the winning goal in Rafael Benitez first ever premier league win against Manchester United.
Ryan Babel came off the bench and scored the winning goal in the 77th minute. Although, it did not start as Benitez had planned.

It was the perfect start from the guest but the home side got level with a 27th minute own goal by Wes Brown.
In the second half Liverpool controlled the match and had several good opportunities to take the lead. The break came in 77th minute where Ryan Babel finished off a nice Liverpool move to win the game.
Watch the Ryan Babel’s winning goal:
Ivorian Didier Drogba joined Chelsea in July 2004 for £23, 8 million from Olympique de Marseille. He soon became a popular person at Stamford Bridge scoring a lot of crucial goals for Chelsea. The popularity has later dropped among the Chelsea fans when Drogba announced he wanted to leave Chelsea because of the departure of Manager Jose Mourinho before the 2007-08 season.
But Drogba didn’t leave Chelsea this summer and the supporters can look forward to see him score goals like this against Everton.
In the 2007-08 campaign Cristiano scored a total of 42 goals in all competitions where 31 of the goals were scored in the league. Ronaldo’s amazing scoring streak was rewarded with the European Golden Shoe and he was the first winger to win this award.
This goal is scored against Portsmouth at Old Trafford and was one of the best goals scored by Ronaldo in the 2007-08 season.
