MANCHESTER, England -- Aston Villa compounded the simmering frustration at Arsenal by winning 3-1 at Emirates Stadium on Saturday while Liverpool rode its luck to also start the new Premier League season with a victory. Christian Benteke scored twice as Villa came from behind to beat Arsenal, which was booed off by home fans already aggrieved at manager Arsene Wengers failure to strengthen the squad in the summer transfer window. Liverpool striker Luis Suarez -- Arsenals main target in the off-season -- was in the stands because of suspension as his team defeated Stoke 1-0 thanks to Daniel Sturridges 37th-minute goal, although it needed debutant Simon Mignolets late penalty save to preserve the lead. West Ham, Southampton and Fulham also started with wins, while Norwich drew 2-2 with Everton after Ricky van Wolfswinkels equalizer on his competitive debut. Manchester United begins the defence of its title at Swansea later Saturday, with unsettled striker Wayne Rooney starting on the bench. Its a case of new season, same old story for Arsenal, whose defensive shortcomings were capped by centre back Laurent Koscielnys second-half sending-off for two yellow cards. Wengers team is unlikely to be challenging for the title this season unless the club, which is awash with cash, can recruit some marquee names to add to a squad that the French manager acknowledged on Friday was threadbare. Wenger was hit with chants including "You dont know what youre doing" and "Spend some (expletive) money" minutes before the final whistle. Olivier Giroud gave Arsenal the lead in the sixth minute but Benteke, who withdrew a transfer request over the summer, equalized in the 22nd when he headed home a rebound after his penalty was saved by goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny. The Belgium striker then converted a 66th-minute penalty following Koscielnys clumsy foul on Gabriel Agbonlahor, earning the defender a first yellow card, and debutant Antonio Luna sealed the points in the 85th for Villa by racing clear on the break to score in the bottom corner. It was a much more positive start to the campaign by Liverpool, who dominated against Stoke but only had Sturridges 25-yard strike to show for its efforts. That profligacy almost cost them when Daniel Agger handballed in the area in the 88th minute but Mignolet ended a nervy debut by clawing away Jon Walters spot kick and then denying Kenwyne Jones effort on the rebound. Suarez, who was serving the fifth match of a 10-game ban for biting an opponent last season, was cheered by some fans as he walked the perimeter of the Anfield pitch with his daughter before kickoff despite an off-season dominated by transfer speculation surrounding the striker. The scorer of Englands winner over Scotland on Wednesday on his international debut, Rickie Lambert completed the perfect week by converting a last-minute penalty for Southampton in a 1-0 victory at West Bromwich Albion. Goals either side of the break by Joe Cole and Kevin Nolan were enough for West Ham in a 2-0 home win over promoted Cardiff and Pajtim Kasami grabbed a 52nd-minute winner for Fulham in a 1-0 victory at Paolo Di Canios Sunderland. Norwich went ahead at Carrow Road through Steven Whittaker before goals by Ross Barkley and Seamus Coleman in a five-minute span gave Everton the lead by the 65th minute.

Cronulla coach Shane Flanagan has issued Andrew Fifita a stern reminder in the wake of his contrary conduct ban that a repeat of such ill discipline could cost him a grand final spot.Fifita was issued a one-match suspension after his attack on Queensland forward Gavin Cooper in State of Origin III on Wednesday night that resulted in his sin-binning in the second half of the Blues win.The former Kangaroos representative has worked hard to avoid such issues that threatened to derail his career and Flanagan said on Sunday the ban was a reality check for Fifita.It is a timely reminder for us and a timely reminder for Andrew as well that you could miss a semi-final for something like that, you could miss the grand final if we are lucky enough to get there, Flanagan said.We have to make sure it doesnt happen down the track.Andrew has a bit of a break now and it is a chance to recalibrate, refocus and reset for him.I know Andrew is a `look after your halfback type of frontrowerr, but he probably went a little too far there and he will learn from it.dddddddddddd The emotion of Origin probably got to him.Fifitas attack on Cooper was in retaliation to the North Queensland forward throwing the ball at Blues pivot Moylan after a Maroons try.Fifita, who has been given a break from all football related duties by Flanagan this week following the ban, will miss the Sharks clash with Sydney Roosters on Monday at Allianz Stadium.Flanagan conceded it was a blow to his side as they chase their 14th successive win.However he argued last weeks win over Penrith, achieved without their Origin players was proof of the depth at Cronulla.Andrew without doubt carries a lot of metres for us and makes a lot of tackle breaks but last week you saw given the opportunity the other boys that come in can do a pretty similar job, Flanagan said.
