Exactly 100 days after the last game, the Premier League is back.
After a three-month pause caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the first top-flight games have been played with Aston Villa and Sheffield United sharing a goalless draw before Manchester City beat Arsenal 3-0.
An unmistakable picture was set immediately as Villa, Sheffield United and officials took a knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement before kick off. It came after they also respectfully remembered the victims of the coronavirus pandemic.
It may have been behind-closed-doors but there was no shortage of controversy as Orjan Nyland clearly carried Oliver Norwood's first-half free kick over the line - with goal line technology failing to signal a goal.
Meanwhile, City and Arsenal played out a thriller as David Luiz was sent off at the Etihad with goals from Raheem Sterling, Kevin de Bruyne and Phil Foden easing City to a win.
