From Claudio Bravo to Simone Zaza, a host of new signings made their debuts in the first round of Premier League fixtures since transfer deadline day.
Bravo's bow will be remembered for the glaring error that gifted Zlatan Ibrahimovic a goal, although City spared their goalkeeper's blushes by holding on to claim a 2-1 win in the Manchester derby.
Arsenal's new boys Shkodran Mustafi and Lucas Perez tasted victory thanks to Santi Cazorla's last-gasp penalty at the Emirates Stadium, while Jack Wilshere appeared for Bournemouth against West Brom.
After a busy finale to the summer transfer window, we take a look at the debutants in each of Saturday's Premier League games.
For Claudio Bravo, it was an eventful debut to say the least, and after all the fuss of Joe Hart's departure from the Etihad, Bravo's "quality on the ball" was anything but evident at Old Trafford.
While David de Gea undertook glove work before the game, Bravo was concentrating on distribution with the City staff. With City flying at 2-0, his soft punch under pressure from his own man John Stones allowed Zlatan Ibrahimovic to score, but that wasn't the end of his crime sheet.
Moments later, his uncertainty in coming out to claim the ball from Bacary Sagna almost resulted in an equaliser, while in the second half his heavy touch forced him into a studs-up challenge with Wayne Rooney, which could have easily resulted in a red card and penalty.
More antics on the ball ensued moments later, which he again got away with, and all-in-all, Hart must be looking on wondering what he ever did wrong. Pep Guardiola, however, stood by his new man.
"Claudio had one of the best performances I've ever seen," Pep Guardiola said. "When you make a situation for the goal - after that, he continued to play in our build-up and [went] for other long balls to pick them up."
Leroy Sane came on for Raheem Sterling with half an hour remaining, and despite getting acres of space down the right on City's sporadic counter-attacks in the second half, he didn't make the desired impact.
Shkodran Mustafi's debut marked him out as an identikit Arsene Wenger centre-half (no jokes please, at the back...). The £35m signing showed composure in possession - a little too much for comfort, at times - and a willingness to pass out from the back.
He looked to win the ball early and aggressively and he also played a part in the late penalty award as he ignored Laurent Koscielny's obvious need for treatment and instead sought out Olivier Giroud in the box.
How often has Arsenal's 'nice-guy' approach been questioned in recent times? A small act, maybe, but this was a sign World Cup-winner Mustafi may have a more ruthless streak.
It was less clear on first look how much of an impact Lucas Perez might have at Arsenal. If the £17m signing from Deportivo La Coruna is to have a long-term future as the club's central striker - and he was picked here ahead of Giroud - he will have to find a way of adapting to the deep starting point often taken up by opposition centre-halves at the Emirates.
Perez's pace was negated, although he was increasingly involved in Arsenal's short passing around the edge of the Saints box and never hid from the ball before his withdrawal around the hour.
All eyes were on Jack Wilshere at the Vitality Stadium but the Arsenal loanee was made to wait a little longer for his Bournemouth debut after being named on the bench.
The 24-year-old came on just after the hour-mark and looked composed when on the ball, though Eddie Howe's decision to bring him on for Jordon Ibe was somewhat surprising and it took further subs before the Cherries found their shape once more.
It was a solid start for Wilshere on the south coast, and he could easily have bagged a debut assist after he picked out Junior Stanislas, but the latter could only shoot straight at Ben Foster.
Meanwhile, Nacer Chadli made his West Brom debut following his move from Tottenham for a club record £13m.
The Belgian looked assured in the middle of the park and certainly added class to West Brom's midfield. The 27-year-old had a couple of half chances for the visitors but nothing more. It is clear he will be a vital cog in Tony Pulis' side this season.
Burnley boss Sean Dyche elected to leave new signings Jeff Hendrick and Patrick Bamford on the bench, only introducing them late on after his side had gone ahead in an attempt to see the game out.
Hull had five potential debutants among their substitutes after a busy signing spree ahead of the transfer deadline, with Will Keane, who went up against his brother Michael in the Burnley defence, and Ryan Mason both appearing off the bench in the second half as the Tigers rescued a point at Turf Moor.
There's no doubt which of the Benteke brothers made the bigger impact at the Riverside Stadium, but it was Jonathan Benteke who made his Premier League debut. The 21-year-old replaced his brother in the 84th minute, with what Pardew described as "a nice moment for the family".
For Boro, there was a debut for young Spanish winger Adama Traore after his Deadline Day arrival from Aston Villa. The 20-year-old provided an injection of pace and directness, but it came too late to make a difference.
Wilfried Bony signed for Stoke on Deadline Day in a season-long deal after failing to impress at Manchester City and the 27-year-old looked surprisingly sharp leading the line against Tottenham.
His team lost the game 4-0 but he showed glimpses of the form from his Swansea days. He linked the play well and almost got on the scoresheet in the second half when dribbling past Ben Davies and Toby Alderweireld before firing into the side netting from a tight angle.
For Spurs, Moussa Sissoko has made his first appearance for Tottenham following his transfer deadline day move from Newcastle United. He replaced Chritian Eriksen with 12 minutes remaining and was eager to impress. He forced Stoke goalkeeper Shay Given into a smart save with a deflected cross-shot and also picked up a booking for a cynical foul on Bojan.
West Ham handed a debut to striker Simone Zaza against Watford at London Stadium, but it was an afternoon to forget for the Italy international. Zaza led the line for Slaven Bilic's side in the absence of the injured Andy Carroll, although on this evidence the Hammers will want their ponytailed frontman back as soon as possible.
The 25-year-old, signed on a season-long loan from Serie A champions Juventus last month, endured a tough debut for the club, before being substituted for Ashley Fletcher with 13 minutes to go as the home team went in search of two goals.
In fact, Zaza's most noteworthy contribution of the contest was picking up an early caution for a bit of back chat to referee Martin Atkinson.
