Premier:

ARSENAL 2-0 OLDHAM
The Gunners cruised to their second win in three days and looked to have erased
the memory of their nightmare start.  A thundering free-kick after 25 minutes
from Nigel Winterburn gave Arsenal the lead and Oldham never looked like
getting back into the game.  Ian Wright, still not 100 percent fit,
fired home the second six minutes later after Jon Hallworth had bravely parried
away Kevin Campbell's stinging shot.  Arsenal were without John Jensen and
Anders Limpar but ominously look to be improving with every game.

CHELSEA 0-0 BLACKBURN ROVERS
Chelsea's new multi-million pound strike-force missed a pair of gilt
edged chances to cost them their first Premier League win.
The first fell to #2.1m Robert Fleck, who drove straight at Bobby Mimms in
the 25th minute after springing the offside trap to go clean through.
Just before half-time Mick Harford, a Luton recruit, blazed over from six
yards out with the goal at his mercy.  Alan Shearer put the ball in the net
for Blackburn but it was the Rovers defence who kept the game under wraps.

COVENTRY CITY 0-1 QPR
A lone strike from Andrew Impey was enough to give Rangers the three points
which lifted them above their opponents to the top of the Premier League.
Impey pounced on the stroke of half-time, rifling home Simon Barker's
cross into the bottom corner.  The Sky Blues, who had won their first
three games, finished with 10 men after Micky Gynn was carried off when they
had used both substitutes.  But QPR were always in control and
Impey again went close in the second half as Coventry struggled to compete.

MANCHESTER CITY 3-1 NORWICH CITY
Manchester City moved off the bottom of the Premier League with their first win
of the season against previously unbeaten Norwich.
David White opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time when he drilled
home a Niall Quinn through ball.  Gary Megson equalised against the club
who released him in the summer, heading home a corner from another Maine Road
old boy David Phillips after 58 minutes White scored his second in the 80th
minute from a Quinn knockdown and made the third for Steve McMahon late on.

Div 1:

LEICESTER 3-2 DERBY COUNTY
Promotion favourites Derby crashed to their third successive defeat and
remain anchored in the basement.  Leicester midfielder Steve Thompson did
the damage, hitting an injury time winner from a twice-taken free kick.
The Rams opened the scoring through Paul Simpson after six minutes, but
former Derby striker Phil Gee grabbed two goals in 10 minutes to swing the
game Leicester's way.  Simpson levelled after 52 minutes but
Thompson stifled the Derby cheers with his late, late winner.
