LONDON (AP) — Newcastle lacked a cutting edge without star striker Alexander Isak and drew at Aston Villa 0-0 in the Premier League opening round on Saturday.

Tottenham looked far sharper in attack, dispatching newly promoted Burnley 3-0 with Brazil forward Richarlison scoring twice.

Later, Manchester City was at Wolverhampton.

Isak was left out as he tries to push for a move to defending champion Liverpool. New signing Anthony Elanga looked dangerous on the right of Newcastle’s attack, but the visitors could not make the most of their possession.

Villa’s Ezri Konsa was sent off in the 66th minute for pulling back Anthony Gordon as he raced through on goal.

Elsewhere, West Ham lost at promoted Sunderland 3-0, and Fulham equalized deep into stoppage time for 1-1 at Brighton.
