We have the main takeaways and betting pointers from the latest Premier League action, as fans return, Manchester United roar back and Everton get in a muddle.
Returning West Ham fans make themselves heard
After 271 days without fans attending a Premier League game, the London Stadium opened its doors for 2,000 West Ham supporters to watch their side's home game with Manchester United.
Nothing could possibly make that nine-month wait worthwhile, but wow did David Moyes' team do their utmost to reward the Hammers' faithful for their loyalty and patience with a phenomenal first-half display. The solitary disappointment from the opening 45 minutes will have been that West Ham led only 1-0 having been utterly dominant.
Tomas Soucek eventually tapped home Declan Rice's perfect flick header from a corner shortly before the break, but Jarrod Bowen, Pablo Fornals and Sebastien Haller all went close themselves.
Even with a near empty stadium, those in attendance made a big difference.
Gone was the fake crowd noise, and immediately the atmosphere of the game was lifted. West Ham's players seemed to feed off it, as any home team should.
But the most striking element that is just as important to the theatre of sport, is that their supporters made a conscious decision to boo Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba. That kind of hero and villain style relationship between players and fans has been sadly lacking for far too long.
So when Pogba lashed home a 30-yard equaliser in the second half before cupping his ears to the stands, football was back.
Man Utd maintain inconsistent streak
Paul Pogba's brilliant strike was the start of a quickfire comeback that had looked highly unlikely based on the balance of the game. But based on Manchester United's previous showings this season, they should have been heavily backed at half-time.
Excellent finishes from England strikers Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford completed a 3-1 win, and meant for the fifth successive Premier League away game United had conceded first and won.
If ever there was a team to back in-play, it is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's.
West Ham supporters may very well have been trudging home from their first foray to a ground since early 2020 wondering how their team had conspired to comfortably lose a game that they had looked certain to comfortably win.
But since the start of the 2019/20 campaign, no Premier League team has dropped more points (32) from winning positions than the Irons. It really was a perfect storm.
Is Jordan Pickford a bad keeper?
Short answer - no. But he certainly has a few problems to work through, as do his team-mates.
I felt a little in harsh in midweek when focusing on what I considered to be a weakness in Jordan Pickford's goalkeeping.
Not because of any grandiose idea that someone might read what I was writing and either take offence or take heed of what I'd said, but more because it felt as though I was finally joining the mob. Criticising the Everton and England number one has gone from being a post-World Cup fad, to a long-term hobby of the footballing masses.
Unfortunately, what may have initially started out as unfair criticism has ultimately been warranted. Whether one led to the other, well I guess we'll never know.
