Paris: Victor Wanyama -- the only Kenyan playing in a major European football league -- scored his first goal for Tottenham Hotspur in a 1-0 weekend victory over Crystal Palace.

The former Celtic midfielder struck eight minutes from time to give Spurs their first English Premier League win of the season after an opening-weekend draw at Everton.

Former Chelsea striker Mohamed Salah was among the scorers as Roma whipped Udinese 4-0 in the Italian Serie A, the biggest win of the opening weekend.
