Van Nistelrooy Marks His United Debut, Tottenham Stuns City in League Cup Thriller

Manchester United kicked off their season with a 4-0 victory over Bolton Wanderers, with new signing Ruud van Nistelrooy marking his debut with a goal. The Dutch striker, a summer arrival from PSV Eindhoven, slotted home a penalty in the second half to seal the win for the Red Devils.

Sir Alex Ferguson's side dominated the match from the start, with David Beckham providing two assists and Ryan Giggs and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer also finding the back of the net. The comfortable victory was a positive start to the season for United, who are looking to reclaim the Premier League title after a disappointing campaign last year.

Meanwhile, in a shocking upset, Tottenham Hotspur knocked out Manchester City in the League Cup, winning 2-1 at White Hart Lane. Christian Ziege scored the opening goal for Spurs, before Robbie Fowler equalized for City. However, a late goal from Teddy Sheringham secured the victory for the North London side, sending City crashing out of the competition.

Tottenham's victory was a major boost for manager Glenn Hoddle, who has been under pressure to deliver results. The win over City, a side that had been tipped as potential title contenders, proved that Spurs are a team to be reckoned with this season.

Other League Cup matches saw Liverpool narrowly beat West Bromwich Albion 1-0 thanks to a goal by Emile Heskey, while Arsenal cruised to a 4-1 victory over Fulham.

This week's results have set the stage for an exciting season ahead. The battle for the Premier League title is set to be fiercely contested, while the League Cup competition is already proving to be full of surprises.
