Week 2 of the Premier League season is in the books and it saw several standout performances.

Brighton began the round with a deserved 2-1 win over Manchester United in Saturday's early game, before champions Manchester City recovered from a goal down to thrash promoted Ipswich Town 4-1 at the Etihad.

Also on Saturday, West Ham defeated Crystal Palace 2-0, Fulham beat Leicester 2-1, Nottingham Forest were 1-0 winners at Southampton, and Tottenham eased past struggling Everton 4-0.

In the day's late game, Arsenal delivered an impressive performance to beat Aston Villa 2-0 at Villa Park.

Sunday saw the highest-scoring game of the weekend as Chelsea blew away Wolves 6-2 with a devastating second-half display, while points were shared between Bournemouth and Newcastle in a 1-1 draw.

Liverpool then concluded the round with a 2-0 win over Brentford to join Brighton, City, and Arsenal as the only four teams to have perfect records following the first two matches.

Favourite place in UAE: Al Rams pearling village

What one book should everyone read: Any book written before electricity was invented. When a writer willingly worked under candlelight, you know he/she had a real passion for their craft

Your favourite type of pearl: All of them. No pearl looks the same and each carries its own unique characteristics, like humans

Best time to swim in the sea: When there is enough light to see beneath the surface

Keep it fun and engaging

Stuart Ritchie, director of wealth advice at AES International, says children cannot learn something overnight, so it helps to have a fun routine that keeps them engaged and interested.

“I explain to my daughter that the money I draw from an ATM or the money on my bank card doesn’t just magically appear – it’s money I have earned from my job. I show her how this works by giving her little chores around the house so she can earn pocket money,” says Mr Ritchie.

His daughter is allowed to spend half of her pocket money, while the other half goes into a bank account. When this money hits a certain milestone, Mr Ritchie rewards his daughter with a small lump sum.

He also recommends books that teach the importance of money management for children, such as The Squirrel Manifesto by Ric Edelman and Jean Edelman.
