The result sees Boro climb into the top six, while the Baggies are up to 10th. Tony Pulis made three changes to the hosts' line-up, with 18-year-old Sam Field making his first-team bow for the Baggies, and immediately he looked at home in the heart of midfield. McClean was the main threat for the Baggies in the opening period, and had the chance of the half on 12 minutes, with his touch letting him down at the last, allowing Guzan to race from his line to smother in the Boro goal. Guzan again had to get down to smartly gather a low drive from another Baggies debutant, Brendan Galloway, before Rondon failed to get on the end of a fizzed cross as the half drew to a close. Replays showed the Baggies hitman may have had his shirt pulled as he stooped to connect. After the break Gaston Ramirez sliced wide from the angle after being played in by Emilio Nsue as Boro grew into the match. Down the other end, Craig Dawson went close with a header from a corner, which flashed past the post, with Guzan beaten. The visitors had their first effort on target in the 74th minute, but Cristhian Stuani's tame effort was easily gathered by a previously redundant Ben Foster in the home goal. Stewart Downing fizzed an effort wide late on, but a goal didn't materialise on a cagey afternoon in the Midlands. Player ratings

Slaven Bilic had opted to switch his formation to 5-3-2 following their Europa League defeat to Astra Giurgiu on Thursday, but the tie didn't start as he would have planned. A simple free kick on the right flank was whipped in perfectly by Kevin De Bruyne, and Fernandinho was there to rise highest and power a header past a helpless Adrian to score his first goal in nearly a year. As the second half got underway, it appeared the match was only heading in one direction as City continued to pepper Adrian's goal. Nolito thought he had made the score 3-0 just minutes after the restart when he chested past the goalkeeper, but the linesman's flag was up for an obvious offside. From there, City looked nervous as they clung on to their lead heading into the final 20 minutes. Aguero enjoyed an impressive outing despite not scoring, although he may have been lucky to stay on the pitch after an incident late on. With the Manchester derby next up for City, Guardiola and co will be hoping the decision lands in their favour. Back on the pitch, City were able to confirm their win with just two minutes remaining in added time. Sterling was the best player on the pitch on Sunday, and it was fitting that he secured the result. Silva hit the post seconds before the goal, and he was again at the centre of play as he set up Sterling for his goal. The England forward collected the ball before taking it round Adrian to finish from the tightest of angles. Guardiola has now overseen three Premier League wins from three games as Manchester City manager. Next up, though, local rivals United. Player ratings

Manchester City struck the first blow in the Premier League title race, beating Manchester United 2-1 at Old Trafford on Saturday. Kevin De Bruyne handed City a deserved lead early on, slotting home from just outside the area having run through one-on-one, before Kelechi Iheanacho's simple finish made it 2-0 on 36 minutes, reacting after De Bruyne had hit the post. On his Premier League debut, Claudio Bravo's failure to deal with a deep cross led to Zlatan Ibrahimovic halving the deficit with a volley, while De Bruyne hit the post again for the visitors during a frantic second half full of a chances for both sides. The result means Pep Guardiola's City continue their 100 per cent start to the season, and in-turn gives the Spaniard his eighth victory over a Jose Mourinho side in 17 meetings. City continued to press, and were 2-0 up with nine minutes of the half remaining through Iheanacho, the man given the nod to replace the suspended Sergio Aguero. After De Bruyne had hit the bottom of the far post from an angle, the ball fell kindly for Iheanacho to slot home for his 15th goal in a City shirt. Mourinho's United were stunned, and it showed in their nervousness on the ball, but Bravo handed them a passage back into the game three minutes before half-time. Coming out to collect a deep free-kick from Wayne Rooney, the Chilean's weak punch fell into the path of Ibrahimovic, who carefully placed the ball home from 18 yards on the half-volley. Bravo was at it again moments later, racing out to clear the ball before Lingard, who got there before him and laid the ball on for Ibrahimovic, whose weak effort was cleared off the line. Mourinho hooked Mkhitaryan and Lingard at the break, bringing on Marcus Rashford and Ander Herrera, and it was United who started the second half the fastest. Ibrahimovic slammed the ball over the bar from Rashford's left-wing cross, before his half-volley from Marouane Fellaini's knock-down flew the same direction. Bravo could have seen red moments later, flying in with studs up on Rooney after a heavy touch inside the area, but referee Mark Clattenburg was unmoved. All the chances then fell to City. First, Fernandinho's header from De Bruyne's corner was acrobatically saved by De Gea, before Bailly denied Nolito at the rebound. David Silva's curling effort then went inches over De Gea's bar moments later, before an onslaught on City's goal in the final five minutes. Nicolas Otamendi did superbly to block Rooney inside the area, and the Argentine was at it again a minute later to clear Ibrahimovic's knock-down for the England striker inside the six-yard box. United pressed and pressed in stoppage time, Ibrahimovic seeing his effort deflected just wide from 20 yards, but City eventually held on for a vital win. Player ratings

Daniel Ayala equalised with another towering header from Stewart Downing's corner shortly before half-time, but Palace re-established their advantage just after the break when Zaha capitalised on an error from George Friend to finish past Victor Valdes. Palace held on to celebrate their first Premier League away win since January, while Middlesbrough were left to rue their first defeat since their promotion last season. Middlesbrough struggled to create openings in response, and Palace almost doubled their lead in the 24th minute. Zaha was the architect once again, bursting past Friend and cutting the ball back to Benteke, who teed up Andros Townsend for a powerful shot which was saved by Valdes. It was an important stop from the Spaniard, and Middlesbrough went on to equalise with their first shot on target as Ayala, on his 100th appearance for the club, leapt above Damien Delaney to head home. Middlesbrough were lifted by the equaliser and almost took a half-time lead when Viktor Fischer released Alvaro Negredo on the counter-attack. The striker had a clear sight of goal, but his diagonal effort was diverted wide by Steve Mandanda. Downing and Ben Gibson went close from long range, but Middlesbrough found it difficult to break Palace down and they were denied a penalty when Scott Dann appeared to kick the ball onto his own arm in the 73rd minute. The hosts kept coming forward, with Ayala heading narrowly over from corner and Negredo failing to turn home a loose ball from close range, but Palace were equal to everything that was thrown at them. The visitors did have a late scare when Zaha brought down Friend just outside of their penalty box in the sixth minute of stoppage time, but they cleared the resulting free kick from Gaston Ramirez to claim a valuable victory.

And further goals early in the second period from Etienne Capoue and Jose Holebas completed a remarkable comeback for the Hornets, who moved out of the relegation zone as a result. The visitors were able to hand a first start to Argentina winger Roberto Pereyra, another purchases from the Serie A champions, while Craig Cathcart had recovered from a groin injury to take his place as one of three centre backs. The Hornets, who were looking to end a poor run of three straight defeats, made the worst possible start to proceedings by falling behind after just five minutes and what is more, it was a soft goal to concede. Payet curled in a corner from the left for Antonio to rise powerfully at the near post and head home past Heurelho Gomes, albeit with the aid of a deflection off Deeney's back. If that goal was avoidable, though, there was little Watford could do to prevent the home team's second after 33 minutes, with again that man Payet pulling the strings. The goal that brought the Hornets back into the contest had a touch of luck about it after Ighalo, who was released down the left by Capoue, cut in and saw his goalbound effort take a wicked deflection off Collins to wrong-foot Adrian. That goal appeared to knock the stuffing out of Slaven Bilic's men, who found themselves trailing for the first time in the game following a brilliant strike by Capoue eight minutes after half-time. It was new boy Pereyra, though, who deserves much of the credit after the forward found his team-mate with a lovely cross, before the Frenchman rifled the ball past Adrian at his near post for his third goal in just four encounters this season.

It was harsh on Saints, who had to dig in after half-time as Cazorla's catalogue of shimmies and sleights of foot sparked attack after Arsenal attack, but who also wasted two clear opportunities to score a second on the break. The blueprint laid down by Virgil van Dijk and Fonte worked in negating the threat of Perez's pace and will be followed to the letter by many a visitor to north London this season. The clearer openings came at the other end, Long dinking Tadic's smart backheel six yards wide of Cech's goal and then scuffing a follow-up after the Arsenal 'keeper had beaten out Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's drive. Referee Bobby Madley's contribution to the winning goal may be questioned by the visitors, who complained long and hard about the penalty award and also felt Long had been fouled in an incident that kick-started Arsenal's surge upfield. A succession of Saints attempted to distract Cazorla as treatment for Koscielny delayed the kick, but the Spaniard spotted Forster's hasty move left, and fired the other side to settle the argument.

The Stoke manager was dismissed for verbally abusing the fourth official on 35 minutes just before Heung-Min Son grabbed the first of his two goals. Glenn Whelen set the tempo of the game by picking up a booking within seven minutes for hauling back Alli. The Stoke midfielder then went close to firing his team in front but his spectacular volley from 30 yards was deflected over the crossbar. Son went down inside the area on 22 minutes after a tangling of legs with Geoff Cameron, but referee Anthony Taylor was unmoved. With the atmosphere increasing inside the Bet365 Stadium, Alli nearly silenced them but chipped wide from close range when inadvertently put through on goal by Marko Arnautovic. Sparks stared to fly on the touchline on 35 minutes when Arnautovic was booked for simulation. Hughes was visibly seething with the decision and took his frustration out by verbally abusing the fourth official. Referee Taylor was called over and sent Hughes to the stands. His mood would not have been helped five minutes later as Spurs took the lead. Christian Eriksen beat his man on the right with a nice shimmy before laying the ball across goal for Son to strike home. The goal visibly gave Spurs a surge in confidence and they went onto dominate the second half. However, the balance of the game could've changed if referee Taylor had deemed Victor Wanyama's body check on Giannelli Imbula worthy of a second yellow card. Only a foul was awarded. Eriksen had already tested Shay Given with a 20-yard effort before Son doubled the lead on 55 minutes. After a quick move through midfield, Son latched onto Eriksen's fine ball and curled a spectacular effort into the far corner. Spurs were now rampant and showing signs of the attacking brilliance that was on show during their title challenge last season. The only thing missing from this Spurs performance was a Kane goal - and he got in on the act on 70 minutes as Stoke crumbled. Son went from scorer to provider and flashed a cross into the back post where Kane was waiting. He had time to take a touch and fire into the net for his 50th Premier League goal. Player Ratings

Robert Snodgrass scored a brilliant last-gasp free-kick to ensure Hull earned a 1-1 draw with Burnley at Turf Moor. The hosts started to assert themselves more in the game with George Boyd's scuffed effort from a Burnley corner blocked by Adama Diomande with a real scramble ensuing before Hull cleared their lines. Stephen Ward then had a half-decent effort for the home side after 25 minutes when Johann Berg Gudmundsson's volley was blocked but his shot with the outside of his boot from the edge of the box sailed just over the bar. Both sides started the second half with more attacking intent with Diomande and Dean Marney shooting off target from distance for either side before Hull should have taken the lead after 50 minutes. Meyler did well to get to the byline and cut the ball back to Diomande, who was eight yards from goal, but he somehow managed to screw his effort wide when it looked easier to hit the target. Both sides traded half chances again soon after with Tom Huddlestone drilling an effort just wide from 25 yards before Marney saw his effort for the home side blocked. Boyd and Vokes then went close for the hosts before Heaton again denied the visitors, pushing a Snodgrass volley over the bar. However, the home side then took the lead with Defour providing the bit of magic the game had been crying out for. The Belgium international set himself up with a lovely flick in the middle of the park to take Huddlestone and Sam Clucas out of the game before driving on unchecked and lashing an effort past Eldin Jakupovic from around 25 yards out. Hull almost responded immediately but Curtis Davies saw his header from a corner smash off the top of the bar and bounce over. The away side felt they should have had a penalty with six minutes remaining when Heaton parried an effort and chased the loose ball out alongside Ryan Mason who went down under the attention of the goalkeeper but referee Paul Tierney waved away the appeals. It looked as though Hull had run out of time before Mee fouled Huddlestone on the edge of the box, with Snodgrass stepping up to brilliantly curl his set piece past Heaton from the edge of the box.

Jack Wilshere's Bournemouth debut ended in victory as Callum Wilson's deft flick handed them a narrow 1-0 victory over West Brom on Saturday. Wilshere came off the bench just after the hour mark, and it certainly boosted the hosts at a time when West Brom were enjoying their best spell of the game. It was no more than the hosts deserved, though Artur Boruc's spectacular save from a Gareth McAuley header had prevented West Brom from taking the lead earlier in the second half. The hosts started brightly but failed to capitalise on their dominance early, with Jordon Ibe going close after cutting onto his left foot and seeing his shot blocked. Saido Berahino cut a lonesome figure up front for West Brom, and his frustration was telling when he sent a shot high and wide from 30 yards out following a rare touch on the ball. The best chance of the half fell to Bournemouth, with Junior Stanislas' volley pushed out wide by Ben Foster. The hosts gathered the ball following Foster's parry, and the ball ricocheted into Wilson's path, but he volleyed over at an angle with the goal at his mercy. Berahino then went close for the visitors just before the half-time whistle, but he volleyed over after chesting the ball down in the area. After the break, West Brom looked revitalised, and a Brendan Galloway cross was too strong for Boruc to hold on to, but the Bournemouth 'keeper was quick to get up and deny Berahino from two yards out. Following Wilshere's introduction, Matty Phillips went close for the visitors after over-hitting a cross, but the ball cannoned off the crossbar and away to safety. It was all Bournemouth with 20 minutes to go however, and Stanislas shot straight at Foster despite having plenty of time to place his shot. With 11 minutes to go, Bournemouth finally broke the deadlock, with Wilson showing great audacity to flick the ball with his heel into the far corner following Adam Smith's low cross. The hosts ran the clock down and held on for their first league victory this campaign, ending their run of eight league games without a win. Player RatingsBournemouth countered with terrific speed and Ibe and King deserve honourable mentions for their endeavours. It was a flash of brilliance from Wilson and it proved to be a match-winning moment, with the 24-year-old proving a constant nuisance for the Baggies defence throughout the match.

Two goals from Roberto Firmino helped Liverpool beat Leicester City 4-1 in the first game at the renovated Anfield on Saturday evening. A disastrous error from Lucas Leiva allowed Jamie Vardy to cut the deficit, but Adam Lallana restored Liverpool's two-goal advantage with a stunning strike shortly after half-time. Firmino then added further gloss to the scoreline in the 89th minuute, passing the ball into an empty net after Kasper Schmeichel mistimed his challenge on Mane. Jurgen Klopp's side produced the perfect attacking performance to open the new £115m Main Stand, scoring four goals for the second time in four Premier League matches. The result sees them climb to fifth in the table, while Leicester drop to 15th and turn their attention to a first Champions League fixture against Club Brugge on Wednesday. Claudio Ranieri picked the same starting XI that beat Swansea, but they found themselves a goal down early on. James Milner, in for Alberto Moreno at left-back, picked out Firmino and the Liverpool forward skipped inside Robert Huth and wrong-footed Schmeichel. The hosts were well on top and could have extended their lead when Mane teed up Daniel Sturridge, but the England international saw his close-range effort expertly saved by the Foxes stopper. It was a temporary reprieve for the visitors, though, as Mane latched onto Sturridge's audacious back-heel and chipped past Schmeichel. It was no more than Liverpool deserved for their fast start, but a shocking mistake from Lucas gifted the visitors a route back into the match seven minutes before half-time. A poor first touch from the Brazilian put him under pressure, and his attempted pass presented Vardy with the easiest of opportunities. There was a question mark over whether the goal should have stood, though, as Shinji Okazaki appeared to be in the 18-yard box before the ball had left the penalty area from Simon Mignolet's goal kick. Despite being second best for much of the half, Leicester almost went in level as Robert Huth's looping header bounced off the crossbar and over. Claudio Ranieri introduced Ahmed Musa at half-time as Leicester look to capitalise on their good fortune, but they soon slipped further behind as Lallana rifled into the top corner for Liverpool's third in the 56th minute. Vardy squandered the chance for an immediate reply, blasting straight at Mignolet after a fine through ball by Riyad Mahrez. Player ratings

Guidolin made two changes to the Swansea side that lost 2-1 to champions Leicester last time out, with Neil Taylor and Ki Sung-yueng coming in for Wayne Routledge and Modou Barrow. Willian gave Lukasz Fabianski an early test, firing a powerful shot straight at the Poland international, who palmed the ball to safety. Willian was proving a real handful for Swansea, but was again thwarted by Fabianski who showed excellent handling skills to claim the Brazil international's cross with Costa waiting to pounce. Chelsea were rewarded for their excellent start in the 18th minute when Oscar brought down Federico Fernandez's poor header before teeing up Costa, who fired into the bottom corner. Swansea were struggling to make any impact until Fernando Llorente teed up Sigurdsson, who curled an effort wide of Thibaut Courtois' far post. Guidolin opted for a change in formation before the break, introducing Barrow for Taylor as Swansea reverted to 4-4-2. But Chelsea could have doubled their advantage seconds later as John Terry flicked on Nemanja Matic's corner, but Costa fired wide from close range with the goal at his mercy. Conte was becoming more and more frustrated by Chelsea's failure to score a second goal and Swansea eventually made them pay. First, Sigurdsson levelled from the spot after Courtois brought him down with a rash sliding challenge; the Iceland international becoming Swansea's top Premier League scorer with 26 goals in the process.

Romelu Lukaku ended his goal drought with an 11-minute hat-trick to send Everton third in the Premier League with a 3-0 win at Sunderland. The Belgian striker had last scored for his club in March and looked to be floundering once again when he had a header saved in an even first half. He struck three times in 11 minutes after the break, however, as the magnificent Idrissa Gueye then Yannick Bolasie set him up before Kevin Mirallas released him for his clincher. Everton always looked a little more likely to score, but Jermain Defoe should have had an opener 10 minutes into the contest. Adnan Januzaj showed great feet on the edge of the area before Defoe was fed via a deflection and he lifted a sloppy effort over the bar. Lukaku had another go soon after as he and Jack Rodwell traded opportunities at opposite ends before Lynden Gooch also forced Maarten Stekelenburg into a decent stop. Everton made a tactical switch at the break as Ross Barkley was replaced by Gerard Deulofeu and the change brought rewards as the tempo increased and they began to dictate much more. Pickford was equal to a wicked dipping effort from Bolasie then Deulofeu and Lukaku both went close in a move which had players queuing up to tap in. It took an hour for the away side to make their breakthrough and when they did, it was through Lukaku. Gueye's lofted ball to the back post was perfect and Lukaku rose to nod in and end a run of 1,139 minutes without netting. Just eight minutes later, he had his second, supplied this time with a sumptuous cross from Bolasie which he again headed over line. By now, Sunderland were in disarray and Everton were given far too much space in central midfield with Mirallas eventually threading through Lukaku, whose stroked finish was emphatic and drew little effort from Pickford. With that, the win was assured and despite Deulofeu's efforts at getting a fourth, manager Ronald Koeman will have to settle for third place in the standings for now.

Jordan Henderson scored a goal-of-the-season contender as Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-1 on Friday Night Football at Stamford Bridge. Jurgen Klopp's side showed tremendous energy in the first half and raced into a two goal lead thanks to Dejan Lovren's neat finish and Henderson's stunning effort. Roberto Firmino missed out for Liverpool with a slight groin issue as Daniel Sturridge led the line. It was the England striker that tested Thibaut Courtois early on with a 20-yard strike that the goalkeeper just about juggled to safety. Liverpool were buzzing all over their opponents and took the lead on 17 minutes. Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness agree that David Luiz will not be a first-choice centre-backBranislav Ivanovic gave a needless foul away on the left flank, from which Liverpool worked the ball to Philippe Coutinho. The Chelsea defence went to sleep and Lovren was left unmarked at the back post to skilfully prod home on the half-volley. It was one way traffic as Chelsea struggled to get Costa into the game - the Spain international only had two touches inside the box in the first half. Liverpool looked full of energy and got their manager off the bench on 36 minutes with a goal of the highest quality. Costa, who grew into the game, was on hand to poke home Nemanja Matic's chipped cross from the by-line. Coutinho had an effort blocked away by Cahill on 78 minutes before Courtois had to be alert claw away a Divock Origi header from close range. Conte threw on Cesc Fabregas, Pedro and Victor Moses with seven minutes left, but Chelsea carried little threat with Nathaniel Clyne at the top of his game to keep Eden Hazard quiet. Klopp's men are moving in the right direction. Player Ratings

The hosts raced to a 3-0 lead at the break after goals from Nacer Chadli, Salomon Rondon and James McClean. It may yet prove to be a valuable win for Pulis personally, after he admitted on Friday that the new West Brom owners will have the final say on his future. Moments after Masuaku conceded a free-kick for handball, the Frenchman gave away a penalty for handling in the area, with the ball seemingly heading to safety. The visitors had chances to equalise, with Lanzini bending his effort narrowly wide before Antonio forced a smart block from Ben Foster. However, Albion doubled their lead following a sloppy clearance from Angelo Ogbonna, with Chadli picking up the loose ball before finding Rondon, who struck across goal and beyond Adrian. The hosts grabbed their third when a corner fell to Chadli, whose strike was heading just wide, but McClean was on hand to steer home from inside the six-yard box. Four minutes later, West Brom conceded a penalty after Galloway tripped Payet, with Lanzini slotting home the resulting spot-kick. Player ratings

Islam Slimani made the perfect start to his Premier League career as he scored twice for Leicester in a 3-0 victory over Burnley. Ben Mee scored a comical own goal to rub salt into Burnley's wounds as Sean Dyche's side have lost all of their away games in all competitions this season without scoring. Sean Dyche decided to switch his formation for the visit to the champions with Jeff Hendrick making his full debut in a 4-5-1 formation, which saw Andre Gray play as the lone striker. The Burnley dangerman was starved of service as Leicester's quality kept the Burnley back four on their toes in the early stages. Michael Keane - a reported transfer target for Leicester in the summer - was key in keeping the hosts quiet for the first 25 minutes but Riyad Mahrez burst into life to test Tom Heaton with a low drive from a tight angle, which the goalkeeper cleared. Burnley created little, but should have taken the lead on 37 minutes when Steven Defour headed straight at Zieler from 10 yards after a clever pick out by Scott Arfield. Burnley looked to holding out until the break - until Slimani, who had looked very lively in tandem with Jamie Vardy, swung the game in Leicester's favour. Buoyed by his goal, the Algerian came out after the break hunting another. It took him just three minutes to double his tally. His cross found its way to Slimani at the back post who showed his electric predatory skills to turn the ball home. With Burnley pressing men forward, the shape of the game suited Leicester. Claudio Ranieri's side counter attacked with the vigour of last season and Mahrez's cross on 78 minutes made it 3-0. Mee was the unfortunate man to turn the ball past his own goalkeeper from close range. It rather summed up Burnley's day against a Leicester side that have their mojo back. Player Ratings

A rampant Manchester City maintained their 100 per cent start to the season by cruising past Bournemouth 4-0 at the Etihad on Saturday. The home side led 2-0 at half-time after strikes from the outstanding Kevin De Bruyne and Kelechi Iheanacho, who was once again deputising for the suspended Sergio Aguero. Elsewhere, the in-form Aguero was serving the second game of his three-match ban, while as expected David Silva missed out through injury. De Bruyne made Wilshere pay by drilling the resulting free kick low through Bournemouth's wall, who did not help themselves by jumping up to block what they thought would be an aerial shot from the Belgian, and leaving Boruc helpless as a result. City soon doubled their lead, however, as Bournemouth were caught with too many players upfield following a free kick and within a blink of an eye Nolito's wonderful pass found De Bruyne, who released Sterling, and the England forward then unselfishly put a goal on a plate for Iheanacho. And that strike after 25 minutes was Iheanacho's 10th in the Premier League from a total of just 14 shots on target from Aguero's increasingly impressive understudy. Man-of-the-match De Bruyne was given the freedom of Manchester before picking out Iheanacho's run and the Nigerian's inch-perfect pass across the six-yard box was converted by Sterling in a repeat of City's second goal. However, City left the best for last with an absolute picture book of a goal after 66 minutes involving the likes of De Bruyne, Gael Clichy and Nolito, before inevitably the former sent Gundogan through on goal and the midfielder made no mistake with a cool side-footed finish past a wrong-footed Boruc.

Alexis Sanchez scored twice and missed a penalty as Arsenal beat 10-man Hull 4-1 on Saturday. Arsene Wenger's side took the lead after 17 minutes at the KCOM Stadium when Alex Iwobi's shot deflected in off Sanchez. Jake Livermore was shown a straight red card late in the half for blocking a goal-bound effort with his arm, but Eldin Jakupovic saved Sanchez's spot-kick. Theo Walcott doubled Arsenal's advantage shortly after the break and it looked comfortable for the visitors until Robert Snodgrass converted a penalty of his own with 11 minutes remaining. But Hull's hopes of a comeback were dashed as Sanchez made it 3-1 and Granit Xhaka rounded off the scoring with a superb long-range strike. Sanchez again started up front for the visitors with Olivier Giroud out with a toe injury and it was the Chilean who had the first chance, scooping a shot over the bar from the penalty spot in the 13th minute. The Gunners continued to apply pressure and got the breakthrough when Jakupovic palmed out a cross from Walcott and Iwobi's follow-up shot deflected in off Sanchez. Andy Robertson denied Sanchez a shooting chance minutes later with a well-timed tackle from behind before Walcott hit a first-time effort at the keeper. Hull struggled to create chances at the other end and they were fortunate not to fall further behind as Jakupovic saved well from Iwobi and Mesut Ozil fired the rebound over the bar from 10 yards out. Arsenal spurned another chance later in the half, this time from the penalty spot. Livermore was shown a straight red for blocking a goal-bound shot with his arm but Sanchez saw his spot-kick saved, having taken over penalty duties from Santi Cazorla. It did not take long for the Gunners to double their advantage after the break, with Iwobi's brilliant back-heeled pass playing in Walcott, whose chipped shot was headed into his own net by Harry Maguire. The visitors looked comfortable until Dieumerci Mbokani was brought down by Petr Cech and Snodgrass converted the penalty. But any hopes of a Hull rally were soon snuffed out as Sanchez fired home and then Xhaka rounded off the scoring with a fine strike from distance. Player ratings

Everton extended their unbeaten start to life under Ronald Koeman to five games as they came from behind to beat Middlesbrough 3-1 at Goodison Park. In controversial circumstances, Maarten Stekelenburg's 21st-minute own goal had threatened to derail the hosts' bright start to life under the Dutchman, but, on his 600th Premier League appearance, Gareth Barry hauled Everton level just three minutes later. And the Merseysiders saw out the victory with ease as they moved up to second in the Premier League table, securing their best start to the league campaign since 1978. After Barkley had stoked up the crowd with a rasping drive on 19 minutes, the Goodison Park faithful were stunned as Boro took the lead two minutes later. Alvaro Negredo collided with Stekelenburg as the Everton stopper rose to reach a cross tamely, forcing the Dutchman to drop the ball into the unguarded net. Appeals from those in blue fell on deaf ears as referee Lee Mason allowed the goal to stand. But an aggrieved Everton side rallied and found themselves level with three minutes as Victor Valdes' failure to clear a corner saw the ball drop perfectly for Barry six yards out, and the midfielder had the simple task of stroking the ball home on his landmark day. A frenetic 10-minute period was followed by a lull as both sides drew breath, but Coleman sparked the game back into life on 42 minutes. Having taken Lukaku's flick into his stride, the Irishman danced inside Daniel Ayala's challenge before picking out the bottom corner of the Boro goal with an unerring finish. Two quickly became three as Lukaku got the faintest of touches on Yannick Bolasie's teasing cross on the stroke of half-time as Everton waltzed into the interval in the driving seat. But they failed to score a fourth and, once Lukaku had left the field to injury on 64 minutes, their intensity dropped, leading the game to peter out.

Defeat for United - who lost Anthony Martial shortly before half-time after an earlier clash of heads with Daryl Janmaat - caps a miserable eight days for Jose Mourinho's side after they were beaten in the Manchester derby last Saturday and then in the Europa League by Feyenoord on Thursday. De Gea then saved well from Deeney before United carved out their first opportunity, only for Zlatan Ibrahimovic to shoot wide from six yards. Paul Pogba, playing alongside Wayne Rooney and Fellaini in a midfield three, struck the crossbar with a superb long-range effort but just as the visitors were growing into the game, Watford went in front. It was Martial's last involvement in the match too. He was clearly shaken up having been involved in a nasty clash of heads with Janmaat midway through the first half, and Mourinho introduced Ashley Young in his place just before half-time. United got back on level terms with their first shot on target as Rashford, who kept his place from the Feyenoord defeat, tapped home after Ibrahimovic's cross came back off the unfortunate Valon Behrami. The expected late United surge never materialised, and the hosts re-took the lead with seven minutes remaining through Zuniga. Frustrations for United threatened to boil over as Rooney, Memphis Depay and Fellaini were all booked in the closing stages, and Watford added further gloss to the scoreline when the latter tripped Zuniga in the penalty area.

Charlie Austin came off the bench to score the winner as Southampton beat Swansea City 1-0 at St Mary's. Nathan Redmond wasted two great opportunities to give the Saints the lead in the first half, but it was the second-half introduction of Austin that proved the difference. The striker, who had scored a brace against Sparta Prague in the Europa League in midweek, went agonisingly close to opening the scoring when his header crashed back off the crossbar and drifted the wrong side of the post off the back of goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski. But Austin made no mistake with his second great chance in the 64th minute, controlling a deflected Redmond cross on his chest before lashing in what turned out to be a deserved winning goal. They had the pick of the opportunities in a goalless first half, playing some superb football at times, with Dusan Tadic, Redmond and Shane Long linking up to great effect in the final third. An error by Swansea goalkeeper Fabianski, spilling Long's shot from range, went unpunished as Tadic was caught offside as he attempted to turn home the rebound. However, the goalkeeper did make amends as he tipped a Tadic free-kick over the bar shortly afterwards, and a Virgil van Dijk header also forced a save out of the busy Swansea keeper as Southampton continued to push for an opener as the first half progressed. The Saints stepped it up a gear as the interval approached, and the St Mary's faithful thought they had a penalty when Long went down in the box, only for referee Mike Jones to instead book the striker for diving - a decision that split opinion, despite the striker going down before contact was made. But the opening goal should have come from the boot of Redmond moments before the break, only for the winger to blast over the bar when clean through - a miss that further frustrated Long, who was unmarked and waiting for a square ball in the centre of the box. Redmond produced an even more shocking miss in the 44th minute, cutting back on to his right foot to wrong-foot the last covering defender and leave the goal gaping, only to once again send his shot soaring into the crowd behind the goal. A frustrated Saints came exploding out of the blocks in the second half, with the lively Long sending a shot sliding past Fabianski only for Kyle Naughton to clear it off the line. And Long should have had a goal to his name shortly afterwards when he tucked home Redmond's cross, only for the winger to be wrongly adjudged as having drifted offside. Frustration started to build around St Mary's as Austin's header came back off the bar, but the goal finally came just after the hour mark and Swansea barely threatened from there on, with a Fraser Forster save from Gylfi Sigurdsson's shot the only late scare for the home side.

Crystal Palace won back-to-back Premier League games for the first time this year as they beat struggling Stoke 4-1 at Selhurst Park on Sunday. Debutant James Tomkins gave Palace the lead after nine minutes, with his centre-back partner Scott Dann heading in a second shortly afterwards. James McArthur's deflected effort in the 71st minute made it 3-0 and Andros Townsend added a fine fourth after running from halfway. Stoke also made a switch at the back as Glen Johnson made his first appearance since February. It was a defensive quickfire double that put Palace in control of the game inside the opening 15 minutes. First, Tomkins turned in a free-kick at the back post after Jon Walters failed to clear, before Dann powered home a header from a corner just two minutes later. Stoke rarely looked like reducing the deficit before the break, with their best moment coming when Bony nicked the ball off Dann and then curled a shot a few yards wide. Bony otherwise was ineffective as Stoke had just one effort on goal and one touch in the Palace box in the first half. The hosts hardly created chances aplenty at the other end but they did go close after the break as Dann had a header cleared off the line and Shay Given saved a close-range effort from Wilfried Zaha. Palace did get a third in the 72nd minute as McArthur's shot from inside the box took a heavy deflection off Geoff Cameron and sailed past Given. Townsend then added another in quick succession, racing clear in the Stoke half before cutting inside and curling a fine shot into the bottom corner. Stoke wasted a couple of chances for a consolation before Arnautovic curled home a first-time effort from the edge of the box deep into injury time.

However, Mauricio Pochettino's afternoon turned sour when Kane was carried off three minutes from time with a serious-looking ankle injury, with the Argentine later revealing his striker was set to undergo a scan to determine the extent of the problem. Meanwhile, Moussa Sissoko made his first start for the club since joining from Newcastle in the summer and there was a reshuffle in defence, with Eric Dier dropping back to play in the heart of the back line and Jan Vertonghen filling in at left back for the injured Danny Rose. The South Korea international was a bundle of energy down the left flank in the opening exchanges, with Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford being forced into a brilliant reaction save at his near post to keep out Kane's close-range shot after nine minutes. Pickford was an increasingly busy figure as the first period wore on as shots rained down on the visitors' 'keeper, with one particular effort from Son Heung-min six minutes before half-time beating the England U21 international, only to strike the outside of the post. However, despite all Spurs' pressure, it was Sunderland who created the best chance of the first half after good play by Januzaj in the box saw the Belgian escape to the right-hand byline and pull the ball back for Steven Pienaar, whose close-range effort was cleared off the line by Kyle Walker. Kyle Walker swung in a cross from the right which Dele Alli headed back across goal, only for Djilobodji to make a hash of his clearance in the six-yard box and present Kane with a simple tap-in at the far post. However, Pochettino may now have to make do without the likes of Kane, Dier, who suffered a hamstring injury, and Walker, who also appeared to be nursing a hamstring problem in the closing stages, over the course of the next few weeks.

A rampant first-half display gave Manchester United a 4-1 win over champions Leicester at Old Trafford on Saturday. Chris Smalling's header from a corner put them ahead halfway through the first period, before Rooney's replacement Juan Mata finished off a superb team-move for 2-0. Marcus Rashford's simple finish from another corner made it 3-0, and Paul Pogba scored his first goal for United with a fine header to make it four as the hosts dominated proceedings. Substitute Demarai Gray scored a stunning consolation for the champions from 25 yards on the hour mark, but it wasn't enough to start a comeback as Leicester suffered their third defeat in six games this season. With the first clear chance of the game after 22 minutes, United were ahead. Daley Blind's deep corner found the head of Smalling eight yards out, and he made no mistake despite Ron-Robert Zieler getting a hand on his effort. But it was 2-0 on 37 minutes, Mata sweeping the ball into the corner of the net after a fine team move involving Pogba and Jesse Lingard, who flicked the ball into the Spaniard's path 18 yards out. United got their third three minutes later as Leicester fell asleep at a corner, Blind playing the ball low into the area for Mata, who pushed the ball on for Rashford to finish into the empty net from close range. And it was three goals in six minutes moments later, Pogba glancing a header into the right corner from Blind's corner for his first in a United shirt. Cutting inside from the left on 60 minutes, the winger hit an unstoppable effort past David de Gea into the top corner from 25 yards. Gray nearly scored an identical second from outside the area, tipped wide by De Gea, before Rooney was introduced with just seven minutes remaining by Mourinho. It stayed 4-1, meaning United emphatically avoided a third straight Premier League defeat, while Leicester have now lost as many league games as they did in the entire 2015/16 season. Player ratings

James Milner scored two penalties as Liverpool cruised up into the top four in the Premier League with a 5-1 victory over Hull at Anfield. For the second week running, Hull were reduced to 10 men when Ahmed Elmohamady was shown a straight red card by referee Andre Marriner for handball. That allowed Milner to make it two from the spot, before Sadio Mane secured a three-goal lead for the hosts at the interval. Substitute David Meyler's second-half strike threatened to spark an unlikely Hull comeback but Philippe Coutinho's immediate response reaffirmed Liverpool's dominance before Milner's second penalty capped an impressive afternoon for the Merseysiders. Ryan Mason made his first league start for Hull but, having scored in the Tigers' EFL Cup win at Stoke, it was clear from the outset he was in for a torrid afternoon as Liverpool flew out of the traps. After Joel Matip had blazed a header over on six minutes, the first clear opening fell for Coutinho four minutes later, but the Brazilian saw his sliced effort cleared off the line by Elmohamady. The Reds didn't have to wait long for their opener though, as Lallana trickled the ball past David Marshall after fine build-up play from Coutinho. Hull spent the majority of the first half camped in their areas as they struggled to deal with Liverpool's free-flowing attack, and their cause suffered a huge blow when Elmohamady blocked Coutinho's goal-bound effort with his arm. No sooner had Milner found the back of the net from 12 yards, it was three as Mane rounded off a fine move to cap a perfect half for Klopp's rampant side. But their hopes of a revival were extinguished as Coutinho restored the hosts' lead before Hull could even touch the ball again, thundering home a sensational fourth in front of The Kop. It proved to be a sour afternoon for Hull boss Mike Phelan, who marked his 54th birthday with the Tigers' heaviest league defeat since March 2010. Player ratings

The visitors were less inspired after the break and an improved Boro side pulled one back through Ben Gibson, but they could not find an equaliser and Spurs are off to their best ever start to a Premier League season. Vincent Janssen deputised for Kane and made a good impression, linking well with Son, Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli. The onslaught on the Boro goal began early on, Victor Valdes doing well to keep out a long-range piledriver from Alli. However, Eriksen got on the ball after the resulting corner was cleared and fed it through to Janssen, who calmly held it up before laying it off to the onrushing Son, and the South Korean cut inside past two challenges and then found the net with a low shot. Son was at it again in the 23rd minute, initially appearing to lose the ball but then winning it back as Antonio Barragan and Cristhian Stuani dithered fatally, before slamming a beautiful finish into the top corner. Spurs should have had more goals before the break, Stuani appearing fortunate not to give away a penalty when he bundled Alli over in the box. Alli also put a good chance over the bar after Calum Chambers had lost the ball in his own area, while Valdes did well to block a Moussa Sissoko effort. And Spurs initially continued to hold sway after the break, but their build-up play was a little more laboured and an end product was also lacking. And Boro then got back into the game, Stewart Downing sending over a lovely free-kick from the left, allowing Gibson to rise above Sissoko and score with a downward header which bounced into the corner.

Sergio Aguero's double helped Man City maintain their 100 per cent start to the Premier League season with a 3-1 win over Swansea at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday. Aguero, on his return from a three-match suspension, opened the scoring with a fine finish before Fernando Llorente swiftly equalised with his first goal for Swansea. Aguero added his second of the game, and 11th of the season, from the penalty spot after Mike van der Hoorn was penalised for an arm across the face of Kevin De Bruyne, and Raheem Sterling completed the scoring. Guardiola's side were ahead after nine minutes as Aguero fired through the legs of Lukasz Fabianski after beating Jordi Amat with a smart first touch. But Swansea were level four minutes later when Llorente, who had been brilliantly denied by Claudio Bravo moments before, lashed home on the volley. The hosts continued to trouble City's defence, with Llorente and Gylfi Sigurdsson a lively combination, but the half's best opportunities fell to the away side. De Bruyne squandered the clearest chance to put City in front at half-time, side-footing wide from Ilkay Gundogan's pass. The visitors continued to pressure Swansea after the break, and only a desperate block from Amat denied Aguero, while Sterling scuffed a presentable opportunity. City were then awarded a spot-kick in controversial circumstances when Van der Hoorn, on his league debut, put his arm into De Bruyne's face. Francesco Guidolin responded by bringing on Ki Sung-Yueng and Mo Barrow, but City extended their lead with 13 minutes to play through Sterling. Player ratings

David Moyes' wait for a first Premier League win as Sunderland's manager goes on after his side blew a two-goal lead to lose 3-2 at home to Crystal Palace. Jermain Defoe exploited Joe Ledley's wild pass in defence to put the home side ahead before the break and added a second after it to put the Wearsiders on course for victory. Palace hit back 66 seconds later through Ledley, however, before James McArthur levelled and Christian Benteke headed in the winner deep in stoppage time. Six games into the season, Moyes' only successes as Sunderland boss remain in the EFL Cup - and his side now moves to the bottom of the table. It was a tentative start from both sides, with neither displaying much pace to begin with and both guilty of sloppy decision making as they tried to take a grip of the game. Indeed, it took the best part of half an hour for any sort of clear-cut chance to come as both sides struggled to set a tempo which would give them an edge. Patrick van Aanholt and Adnan Januzaj were both threats going forward for Sunderland but final balls often let the side down. When that first opportunity came, it was Defoe who had it with an imaginative flick from van Aanholt's cross and it dropped just wide of the target. The next time the former England forward was involved, he put Sunderland ahead - but the goal was one Mandanda and Ledley won't look back on fondly. The goalkeeper's threaded pass to the Wales midfielder was fast and a little ambitious given the amount of players from both sides in close proximity as he played it 30 yards out from goal. Januzaj applied pressure on Ledley and he was rushed into a pass back but only played in the lurking Defoe. Ledley will be blamed by some for what happened but the keeper was just as culpable. Unbeaten in their last 22 league games in which they have led at half-time, Sunderland will have come out for the restart optimistic of preserving their lead. Palace broke with purpose after a mistake from Januzaj and a three-man passing move ended with Puncheon drawing a good stop from Jordan Pickford. But Palace's response to that was emphatic, Ledley reducing the deficit again a minute and six seconds later with a strike which was deflected away from Jordan Pickford by van Aanholt. Javier Manquillo gave away a clumsy free-kick wide on the left four minutes into time added on and when it came in, Benteke headed over the line to complete a remarkable comeback.

Salomon Rondon's stoppage-time equaliser secured West Brom a 1-1 draw at Stoke to leave Mark Hughes’ side winless in the Premier League. Joe Allen had looked to have won it for the Potters when he bundled the ball home via a deflection off Claudio Yacob but Stoke's weakness from set-pieces cost them. Erik Pieters wanted a penalty for a perceived foul in the box by Matt Phillips after Marko Arnautovic had slipped him into space down the left channel but referee Martin Atkinson waved the claims away. Shaqiri then almost putting Wilfried Bony through with a clever reverse pass, but the best chance before the break fell to Glen Johnson. The full-back found himself in space inside the penalty box after Bony's header deflected into his path and he managed to lift the ball over goalkeeper Ben Foster only to see Craig Dawson clear brilliantly from off the line. That was as close as Stoke came before the interval but they started the second half much the brighter side and Pieters had another shout for a penalty as he got in behind Phillips yet again. Peter Crouch replaced Bony midway through the half as the home side pushed for a breakthrough and it came from a predictable route soon after. Shaqiri, who'd troubled Allan Nyom all afternoon, cut inside and whipped in a cross that Jonny Evans could only head into the path of Allen who netted under pressure from Yacob. But with both Allen and Shaqiri withdrawn there was still time for the visitors to get their goal as they capitalised on a needlessly conceded corner. Stoke had switched to a zonal defence following a series of errors defending set-pieces but this goal is a reminder that their problems at the back continue. Player ratings

Everton lost their unbeaten start to the season as Junior Stanislas netted a thumping winner for Bournemouth in a 1-0 victory on Saturday at the Vitality Stadium. Stanislas, who netted a late equaliser in this corresponding fixture last season, struck midway through a first-half, which saw the hosts hit the woodwork twice. Everton lacked cutting edge in the final third, however, Enner Valencia did squander a good chance late on. The win snaps a run of two straight defeats for The Cherries, who had also lost nine of their last 13 Premier League games coming into this. Everton welcomed back four-goal Romelu Lukaku into the fray after he missed the midweek defeat against Norwich with a toe injury but Leighton Baines missed out due to a hamstring problem. Gareth Barry was declared fit to play despite struggling with a groin problem and he looked a yard off the pace as Harry Arter and Jack Wilshere dominated the midfield battle early on. Callum Wilson, who ran the two Everton centre-backs ragged in the early stages set the tone for the hosts and flicked a header wide with just 90 seconds on the clock. Everton settled but only looked threating from set-pieces. Lukaku forced a fantastic one-handed save from Arthur Boruc on 10 minutes after he wriggled free about seven yards from goal. Bournemouth responded and put together a blistering 10 minutes spell of all-action football, where they hit the woodwork twice and then took the lead. Wilson broke away again down the right and his cross was stoked towards goal by Wilshere but Seamus Coleman's deflection took the ball onto the crossbar. The upright was rattling again minutes later when Arter dribbled forward and curled a left-footed effort against the outside of the far post. The hosts deserved the lead and they got it on 22 minutes. Everton were slow to react as Bournemouth switched the play. Arter found Stanislas about 22 yards and he fired an unstoppable effort right into the top corner. Eddie Howe's men had kept just one clean sheet in last 17 games in all competitions and you could see how much their manager wanted to improve that poor run as he headed and kicked very ball on the touchline.

Arsenal ended their winless run against Chelsea in impressive style with a 3-0 victory at the Emirates on Saturday evening. The hosts raced into a 2-0 lead inside the opening 15 minutes as Alexis Sanchez capitalised on an error from Gary Cahill and then Theo Walcott finished from Hector Bellerin's low cross. Arsenal had not beaten Chelsea in the Premier League since 2011, but Mesut Ozil volleyed in a third before the break to cap off a dominant first-half display. Substitute Michy Batshuayi went closest to pulling a goal back late on with Chelsea's only shot on target. Otherwise the visitors rarely threatened as Arsenal won their fourth straight league game in the week that Arsene Wenger celebrated 20 years in charge. It was soon 2-0 after some crisp passing from the hosts which ended with Bellerin crossing for Walcott to tap in from close range. Chelsea continued to look unconvincing in defence, but they did go close after 21 minutes as Willian shot across goal. That was a rare opening for the visitors, who fell further behind after 40 minutes. N'Golo Kante was turned by Ozil, who raced away from inside his own half and played it forward to Sanchez. He returned the favour for Ozil to volley in the third at the back post. Eden Hazard shot into the side-netting late in the half for Chelsea, who made a change in the 55th minute, bringing on Marcos Alonso for Fabregas. They also switched to three at the back, which sometimes left them exposed on the counter, but did give them more of an attacking threat. Still, Arsenal were largely comfortable, and Walcott was only denied a second goal by a good save from Courtois. Chelsea's best chance came late in the game when Batshuayi was played in by David Luiz, but the striker failed to beat Petr Cech. Player ratings

Slaven Bilic had made just two changes from the 4-2 defeat to West Brom last weekend, but went behind in the 40th minute after the in-form Charlie Austin scored his fifth goal in four games in all competitions for the Saints. The visitors then doubled their lead just after the hour mark as Dusan Tadic nicked past goalkeeper Adrian and tapped into an open net before James Ward-Prowse rounded off the scoring in the second minute of injury time. Twenty minutes later, the first chance of the half emerged as Dimitri Payet knocked in a corner that was headed on by Zaza at the near post and looked destined for Michail Antonio, but he couldn't get to the ball in time and it flashed across the face of the goal. But Southampton broke the deadlock with five minutes of the half to play, as Steven Davis found Tadic on the left flank who in turn played in an onrushing Bertrand. The visitors, buoyed by their late first-half goal, started well in the second half with Adrian again called into action, saving from a looping Jose Fonte header before Tadic tried his luck - but the Serb could only find the feet of the Hammers stopper. Southampton doubled their lead in the 62nd minute, as Redmond won the ball from Cheikhou Kouyate and found Austin, who took one touch to chip the ball into the path of Tadic. The midfielder then rounded the onrushing Adrian and stroked home into an open net. Adrian continued to face pressure from the Saints though, keeping out stinging efforts from Ward-Prowse and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg but he couldn't stop a second effort from the former. Redmond picked out a gut-busting run from Davis into the box, who knocked the ball into the path of Ward-Prowse and he obliged by slotting it into the back of the net. Player ratings

Jeff Hendrick and Michael Keane were on target as Burnley recorded a morale-boosting 2-0 win over Watford at Turf Moor on Monday night. Both players scored their first-ever Premier League goals for the Clarets with headers from Steven Defour corners either side of half-time. As a result, Burnley have moved up to 13th in the table, while Watford remain in 11th. Meanwhile, the visitors made one enforced alteration from the team that beat Man Utd 3-1 in their last Premier League game, with Nordin Amrabat replacing the injured Daryl Janmaat at right-back. The home side, who have found goals hard to come by so far this season, continued to dominate the first half, albeit without ever really working Gomes in the Hornets goal. Iceland international Gudmundsson went close with one effort midway through the first period that flew inches past Gomes' near post, but just as Watford started to gain a foothold in the contest, Burnley opened the scoring after 38 minutes. However, England international Tom Heaton stood tall at his near post to beat away Troy Deeney's close-range effort and 60 seconds later, after a Burnley counterattack had ended in a left-wing corner, the home team had doubled their lead. Defour, who was signed from Anderlecht in the close season, saw his initial cross cleared straight back to him, but second time round the midfielder delivered a devilish delivery from which Keane somehow managed to plant a back header past a helpless Gomes. Watford huffed and puffed as they went in search of a goal to bring them back into the contest. Player ratings

Romelu Lukaku and Christan Benteke scored as Crystal Palace came from behind to draw 1-1 at Everton on Friday Night Football. Lukaku gave the hosts the lead with a 35th-minute free-kick, but Benteke replied with a brilliant header shortly after half-time. Damien Delaney thought he had put Palace ahead on the hour mark, only to see the flag go up for offside after he headed past Maarten Stekelenburg. The draw sees Everton move up to third in the Premier League ahead of the rest of the weekend's action. Both sides made one change from their previous game, with Tom Cleverley replacing Kevin Mirallas for Everton and Wilfried Zaha coming in for Yohan Cabaye for Palace. With interim England manager Gareth Southgate watching from the stands, Zaha looked to make an early impression against Everton's second-choice left-back Bryan Oviedo. Yannick Bolasie also threatened at the other end against his former side, but both teams struggled to create clear chances in a cagey first half. When the deadlock was broken in the 35th minute, Palace had cause for complaint as Phil Jagielka appeared to handle the ball before Damien Delaney was penalised for a high boot. Lukaku made the most of the opportunity as he curled the free-kick over the wall, which did not jump, and into the net. Palace struck back quickly after the break thanks to a brilliant header from Benteke, who nodded into the corner and beyond the reach of Stekelenburg. Everton almost regained the lead when Bolasie cut back for Idrissa Gueye, but his close-range shot was blocked by Delaney. They thought they had gone ahead when Delaney headed home, only for the flag to go up for offside, seemingly against James McArthur, who ran towards goal after the ball had been directed goalwards. Everton pressed in the closing stages but could not create any opportunities as the spoils were shared. Player ratings

James Milner's late penalty gave Liverpool a 2-1 win at Swansea on Saturday to extend their winning run to five games. Leroy Fer gave Swansea the lead with a simple close-range finish early on, and Swansea should have been further ahead in the first half, but Borja Baston's two unmarked headers were off target. Liverpool's pressure either side of half-time took its toll on Swansea as Roberto Firmino headed the visitors level from 10 yards on 54 minutes. And they got their winner in the 84th minute as Firmino was brought down by Angel Rangel in the area, Milner making no mistake from the spot. Swansea defender Mike van der Hoorn should have equalised in stoppage time, but the result extends Liverpool's unbeaten run in all competitions to seven games, while Francesco Guidolin's Swansea are still without a Premier League victory since the opening day. Swansea brought in Baston for his first Premier League start, and the Spaniard made an instant impact as the hosts dominated the first 20 minutes. Baston was involved again later in the half, heading wide from Gylfi Sigurdsson's superb free-kick, despite again being unmarked by the Liverpool defence. Liverpool put pressure on before and after the break, and were rewarded nine minutes after the restart through Firmino's goal, heading into the bottom left corner after Jordan Henderson's lofted ball as Swansea's defence pushed up. Philippe Coutinho came within inches of completing the turnaround moments later, curling inches wide of the right-hand post after some fine Liverpool build-up play. Both sides attacked for the final half an hour at the Liberty Stadium, but it was the visitors who stole the winner. Player ratings

From there, neither side looked like finding a winner and the ensuing stalemate did little to improve their recent records. They took time to settle after that, with Middlesbrough having the only chance of note in the first 20 minutes when Viktor Fischer drove across goal and just wide. The hosts eventually responded, with Payet having one attempt blocked by Calum Chambers then curling another wide before Michail Antonio's header was also deflected away. After James Collins headed off target on his 250th Premier League appearance, Middlesbrough finally began to settle into the contest. That was the best opening yet but the hosts could have been behind at the break through slack goalkeeping from Adrian. He was hesitant coming for a long ball upfield and Jordan Rhodes improvised by lifting the ball over his own head and goalwards but it was cut out in plenty of time and it remained goalless. Adrian was again slow coming off his line to block Rhodes after the restart and that was the precursor to Middlesbrough's opener. From the resulting corner, Stuani got up highest to meet Fischer's cross and he headed over the line before Noble could clear, with goal line technology confirming he has scored. He picked up the ball on the touchline and went past his marker into the box but had little else on with a number of defenders still ahead of him. Undeterred, he kept going across the six-yard line past a second, third, fourth and fifth before sending an angled short back across goal from right to left under Valdes and in. Indeed, Payet himself was lacklustre with a free-kick he lifted into the wall when you sensed many in the ground expected him to strike again. Gaston Ramirez lacked bend on his curled effort as he tried to find a late winner for Middlesbrough while Antonio wasted a chance at the other end after doing well to hold off George Friend. In the end, the draw was fair but it will do little to lift confidence in a pair of squads who look fragile at present and struggling for a spark.

Sunderland's Patrick van Aanholt came off the bench to score seven minutes from time and salvage a 1-1 draw from the visit of West Brom. The struggling hosts made a bright start at the Stadium of Light and put together a neat passing move in the third minute, only for the usually reliable Jermain Defoe to pull his shot wide with just the keeper to beat, after latching onto Duncan Watmore's through-ball. It was a strategy which worked well and Chadli drew a decent save from Jordan Pickford after Matt Phillips had pulled the ball back. The Belgian still had plenty to do but a delightful first touch took him away from Lamine Kone before he guided a lovely finish into the corner of the net. Sunderland huffed and puffed in the second half but appeared worryingly reliant on Defoe for any sort of goal threat. The experienced England man produced one sumptuous turn but was then crowded out by defenders in the box, and also had a seemingly goal-bound shot brilliantly blocked by Jonny Evans. That chance was created by Wahbi Khazri, after a brilliant pass from Van Aanholt, who was somewhat surprisingly omitted from the starting line-up but emerged in the second-half after Jan Kirchhoff picked up a knock. And it was Van Aanholt who saved the Black Cats with a goal out of the blue, having initiated the attack himself with a pass to Watmore. The young forward had worked tirelessly all day and did superbly here, powering into the box down the left and then flicking the ball into the path of Van Aanholt, who managed to place a bouncing shot into the top of the net. Sunderland goalkeeper Pickford had earlier made important saves to keep out a Darren Fletcher piledriver and a good effort from Salomon Rondon, which he blocked at the near post. And both sides continued to attack as the game opened up after the equaliser, Rondon heading over while Defoe shot just wide from distance with virtually the final kick of a decent encounter in the north-east.

Chelsea ended a three-game winless streak in the Premier League with an assured 2-0 victory at Hull City on Saturday. The result condemns Hull to a fourth defeat in their last five top-flight games, while the Tigers remain without a win against Chelsea in nine Premier League meetings. Having shipped three goals at the Emirates Stadium, Thibaut Courtois had to be alert on three minutes to tip Robert Snodgrass' deflected free-kick from under his crossbar. It took Chelsea around 20 minutes to settle into the game, but, once up to pace, their attack began to cause the hosts problems. Victor Moses, keen to impress after demanding a spot in Conte's starting XI, was unfortunate not to win a penalty on 25 minutes when Adama Diomande's trip went unpunished by referee Antony Taylor. An even first half ended with a flurry of chances, but neither Costa nor Ryan Mason could convert for either side as they went in at the break level. Chelsea wrestled the initiative immediately in the second half, committing greater numbers forward more frequently and creating chances. First, having rounded the on-rushing David Marshall, Costa saw Jake Livermore deflect his goal-bound shot onto post on 58 minutes, before N'Golo Kante blazed the rebound over. The pressure soon told though as Costa found Willian in space on the left three minutes later, and the Brazilian cut inside to fire high past Marshall, who was rooted to his spot. Chelsea continued to ask questions of the Hull defence and one quickly became two as Costa ruthlessly replicated Willian's finish after Nemanja Matic's shot was deflected into his path. But, to their credit, Hull, marshalled by captain Curtis Davies, stood firm as only a late Pedro chance came close to extending the visitors' lead. Player ratings

Isaac Success came off the bench to score Watford's second-half equaliser and his first for the club in a 2-2 draw at home to Bournemouth. Troy Deeney made it 1-1 just after half-time with a side-foot finish and Jack Wilshere twice hit the post after the break, the second effort of which he should have scored from close range. Walter Mazzarri's back four had done well to stifle Bournemouth's counter-attacks, but it was Stanislas who fashioned the opening goal when he burst up the right wing and crossed for Wilson to nod home. Wilshere could have set up Wilson for a second soon after but misplaced his pass with Bournemouth two-v-one in the counter-attack, but the striker wasted a chance of his own when he teed up Andrew Surman instead of shooting himself just before half-time. Wilshere broke from midfield excellently for the first of his chances that met the upright, curling a shot towards the far corner that had Gomes beaten, but not the goal-frame. He remained on the pitch as Jordan Ibe was replaced by King, who showed Wilshere how to score a superb solo effort by pushing past his opponent with a burst of pace before firing low inside Gomes' near post for 2-1. But the lead lasted just two minutes for Eddie Howe - again linked with the England job this week - and his men this time, a sloppy foul committed on the left-hand side allowing Etienne Capoue to deliver a delicious cross for Success to guide into the far corner.

Joe Allen struck late to cancel out an Anthony Martial strike and grab a 1-1 draw for Stoke against Manchester United at Old Trafford. United, who spurned a plethora of good chances throughout the game, finally made the breakthrough when Martial came off the bench to score on 69 minutes. His effort was saved by the impressive Lee Grant, who made a string of good stops to keep the visitors - still without a win this season - firmly in the game at the interval. Pogba missed the target completely with two excellent opportunities, the first a shot inside the box before an unmarked header from a corner, while Grant - making only his second top-flight appearance - tipped Juan Mata's cheeky chip over the bar. Geoff Cameron had Stoke's best chance before the break, shooting tamely into the hands of David de Gea from the impressive Allen's cut-back. And a lovely flowing move from Stoke found Allen in the box early in the second period, but the midfielder shot tamely at De Gea himself after shimmying past the last defender. With United and Mourinho growing increasingly frustrated, Rooney and Martial were introduced on 67 minutes and had an immediate effect as Martial found Rooney before Cameron's interception provided the Frenchman with a first-time scoop into the far corner. Potters 'keeper Grant continued to deny red shirts, saving well from Rooney and then Daley Blind, who was the man arguably at fault for allowing Stoke back into the game. The left-back lazily hashed a clearance out for a throw in the defensive third, and United were caught napping as Bruno Martins Indi burst forward.

Spurs got off to a flying start at White Hart Lane, taking the lead on nine minutes after Aleksandar Kolarov put through his own net before Dele Alli slotted a slick second seven minutes before half-time. City, who trailed for the first time under Guardiola in the Premier League, rallied after the interval but struggled to replicate the form that had guided them to six top-flight wins from six beforehand. In fact, things could have been worse for City had Erik Lamela not seen his second-half penalty saved by Claudio Bravo. Man City crashed to their first defeat of the Pep Guardiola era on Sunday. Here's how Spurs did itIn the end, it proved immaterial as Spurs held on to secure their best start to a league campaign since 1960/61, asserting their own title credentials as they left Guardiola to mull over his first league defeat since March. Pochettino, who claimed his first managerial victory at Espanyol against Guardiola's Barcelona, brought Danny Rose and Lamela back into the fold against a City side without the injured Kevin de Bruyne. Guardiola turned to Jesus Navas to plug the gap left by the Belgian, and, after a blistering start from Spurs, the Spaniard's driven cross was almost turned home by David Silva after four minutes but it deflected wide. Undeterred, Spurs continued to harass and hound the City defence and they got their rewards shortly after as Rose's wicked cross from the left was sliced into the back of the net by Kolarov. One so nearly became two a minute later as Son forced Bravo into action at his near post before Christian Eriksen continued to apply the pressure from the hosts, whistling a free-kick marginally wide on 20 minutes. Jan Vertonghen's risky challenge in the area on Sergio Aguero went unpunished by referee Andre Marriner shortly after, but the City striker would soon test Hugo Lloris, forcing the Frenchman to tip his curling free-kick out on the half-hour mark. But, on 37 minutes, City's quest for the second goal of the game was eclipsed by Spurs as they doubled their advantage. Spurs started the second period intent on not letting a City side, who have never won a Premier League game having been two or more goals down at half-time, back into the contest. Victor Wanyama ensured Bravo was alert to stop his rasping drive on 48 minutes, but City remained a threat as Aguero saw an effort deflect onto the frame of the Spurs goal via the legs of Lloris. Spurs had the chance to wrap up game on 65 minutes when Alli was sent tumbling in the area by Fernandinho but, after a heated debate with Son over who should take the penalty, Bravo tipped Lamela's spot-kick away. A pulsating encounter soon switched to one of attrition as a dogged Spurs rearguard withstood a late onslaught from City. Player ratings

Leicester's stuttering defence of their Premier League title goes on after they were held to a 0-0 draw by Southampton. The visitors had the best chances at the King Power Stadium and dictated play at times, with Charlie Austin hitting the post in the first half. The away side started with intent and applied good pressure from the off, with Austin, in particular, a commanding presence in attack. With caretaker England manager Gareth Southgate in the stands ahead of his first squad announcement, Austin presented a good case for inclusion after five goals in four games. A long ball over the top of defence released him and he shot from a wide angle on the right, seeing his attempt come back off the woodwork with Kasper Schmeichel beaten. Along with Austin, Cedric Soares was an integral part of Southampton's good forward play in the early stages but the Portugal defender had to go off with an ankle injury. His collision with Marc Albrighton brought his match to an end early and with that came a dip in pace from the visitors. Leicester almost exploited it as a short passback from Virgil van Dijk let in Jamie Vardy and he homed in on goal. His England team-mate Fraser Forster stood up well, however, delaying the forward enough for Southampton to get men back and block. Islam Slimani was then denied on the follow up, with Vardy also stopped once more - and he will have rued his lack of conviction because he should have put the hosts ahead. The first half was entertaining without having many clear cut chances and Slimani's biggest contribution was his combative approach in attack. He felt he should have had a penalty when he and Jose Fonte came together in the box but his claims were swiftly dismissed. As the break approached, Southampton came forward again and Dusan Tadic nearly curled in but his cross was too deep and it dropped just over the bar. Instead of shooting himself, he tried to pick out Austin and it was the wrong choice, as was Austin's own decision to try to chip Schmeichel moments later as he closed the attacker down and saved. Play opened up and the teams traded shots which were all comfortably held, Danny Drinkwater on target but failing to score for Leicester and Hojbjerg doing the same for Southampton. Leicester looked most likely to score towards the end, first through Shinji Okazaki's glancing header which dropped just wide of the far post. Leonardo Ulloa also had a glorious chance to win it seconds from the end after a flowing move orchestrated by Riyad Mahrez but he blazed over the bar.

Arsene Wenger started his 21st year as Arsenal manager with a controversial 1-0 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor following a 93rd-minute Laurent Koscielny winner. Defender Koscielny bundled the ball home at the far post from a corner in the third minute of stoppage time, but it looked like his initial shot, which was directed over the bar, came off the his own arm before crossing the line. Alexis Sanchez went closest for the visitors in a game lacking in chances, forcing a good save out of Tom Heaton before volleying just wide from a corner in the second half, while Michael Keane hit the woodwork for Burnley from a header. Petr Cech came back into Wenger's starting XI for David Ospina in the only change for either side, but Arsenal's outfield players struggled to break down Burnley in the first half. Sanchez's effort from the right of the area deflected off Alex Iwobi and dropped just wide of the post in what was Arsenal's only half chance of the opening 45 minutes. Sanchez came close again early in the second half, forcing a good low save out of Tom Heaton at the near post having turned after some pinball inside Burnley's area. Burnley had their fair share of chances in the second period, Cech beating away Johann Berg Gudmundsson's header, before Keane's towering header from a corner came off the bar and clear. Sanchez hit a volley just wide late on as the ball dropped down from a corner, and with Arsenal still knocking on the door in final moments, they grabbed the winner in the third minute of two added on at Turf Moor. As the visitors took a short corner, Sanchez's eventual cross was flicked on by Theo Walcott, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Koscielny unmarked at the far post to tap home. Oxlade-Chamberlain stretched for it, but Koscielny got the touch with his right foot, only for the ball to eventually come off his wrist and past Heaton. Player ratings

Chelsea cruised to a 3-0 win over Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday with Diego Costa, Eden Hazard and Victor Moses on target. The visitors, who were second best in the first half, improved after the break and nearly got back into the match when David Luiz turned a Marc Albrighton cross onto his own post. But Moses made the game safe for Chelsea in the 80th minute, latching onto Nathaniel Chalobah's back-heel and tucking past Kasper Schmeichel. Antonio Conte had rubbished speculation over his future at Stamford Bridge after a three-match winless league run in September, and it was a fine performance from his side that will go some way to quietening those rumours further. Meanwhile Leicester, who failed to register a shot on target, have become the first reigning champions since Blackburn Rovers to lose all four of their opening away games the following season. Their opponents, who conceded three times from corners against Man Utd, suffered again at a set-piece when Costa fired Chelsea in front after seven minutes. The striker, who escaped the attention of Wes Morgan, struck first-time past Schmeichel from Nemanja Matic's near-post flick. Luiz saw a trademark free-kick rattle the woodwork in a one-sided first half and Chelsea added a deserved second through Hazard just after the half-hour mark. Luis Hernandez and Robert Huth failed to clear a through ball, allowing Pedro to put Hazard on goal, and the Belgian skipped around Schmeichel to double the hosts' lead. Both teams had penalty appeals waved away early in the second half, and Leicester were nearly rewarded for their bright opening when Luiz struck the post at the wrong end, the ball bouncing fortuitously clear to preserve Thibaut Courtois' clean sheet. Ranieri attempted to press the issue and introduced Mahrez and Slimani, but any momentum his team had gathered soon ebbed away. N'Golo Kante almost capped a man-of-the-match performance against his old club with his first Chelsea goal, but former team-mate Morgan blocked his goal-bound effort. The hosts did make it three with 10 minutes to play through Moses, moving them up to fifth in the table ahead of next Sunday's clash with former boss Jose Mourinho. Player ratings

The midfielder - a doubt before the game after picking up an injury on international duty with Wales - headed home from a great Marko Arnartovic cross just eight minutes in and added another in first-half injury time, firing home from the edge of the box. The hosts were ahead inside eight minutes with Allen's first of the afternoon. It was a delightful initial ball from Xherdan Shaqiri to find Arnautovic, who picked the Welshman out in the box for his fifth goal in four games for club and country. Jermain Defoe went closest for the visitors in their limited first-half openings, with Ryan Shawcross getting ahead of him in the 17th minute to clear a Wahbi Khazri cross before the former England striker wriggled into space nine minutes later - but could only fire over the crossbar. The Potters looked the more likely to add a second before the break, with Wilfried Bony turning away from Papy Djilbodji before firing past the post before the impressive Arnautovic poked a great cross from the Ivory Coast striker just out of play while one-on-one with Jordan Pickford. But it was Allen who extended the lead with his second in the first minute of added time at the end of the first half, collecting a Shawcross header at the top of the box and hitting hard and low through a crowd and into the back of the net. Stoke could have had a third seven minutes into the second half as Pickford was forced into a fine save from Bony after a great cut-back from Erik Pieters, before Djilbodji blocked the follow up from Allen at close range to deny him his hat-trick. Bony was again a spearhead in attack two minutes later as he got away from his defender, but took his shot too early and it flew over the bar. There were a few glimpses from Sunderland although they rarely threatened with Shawcross again keeping Defoe at bay from a Duncan Watmore cross before the youngster raced forward on the break but hit high and wide. Adam was involved again 10 minutes later when he picked up the ball in the middle of the park and went on a little run before firing towards goal, but it smashed the upright. Player ratings

Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne both had penalties saved by Maarten Stekelenburg as Premier League leaders Manchester City were held 1-1 by Everton at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. Kelechi Iheanacho replaced Aguero as the lone striker but struggled to make his mark in the opening stages as Everton centre-backs Phil Jagielka and Ashley Williams defended with great authority. City looked threatening down the channels, especially through Leroy Sane, who had a penalty appeal turned down on 11 minutes when he tricked his way past Bryan Oviedo but the referee remained unmoved. However, City did get a major decision just before the break. David Silva wriggled his way past Jagielka in the box but the Everton skipper left a clumsy leg dangling which caught the Spaniard for a clear penalty. De Bruyne, who had been dictating the play from midfield, stepped up by his right-footed penalty was palmed away by Stekelenburg. City were made to rue for that wasted opportunity on 64 minutes as Everton countered with devastating effect. Stones misjudged a long ball and Lukaku pounced, taking on Gael Clichy on the outside before reversing a shot into the far corner. The Argentine missed a penalty for his country in midweek and looked nervous as he stepped up. He decided to go the same way as De Bruyne and Stekelenburg guessed right again, pushing the ball to safety. But Everton's lead only lasted two more minutes. After Aguero forced the goalkeeper into another superb save, Silva recycled the play and delivered a fantastic ball into the box where Nolito nodded home. Everton were now hanging on, but had their goalkeeper to thank again nine minutes from time. De Bruyne smashed an outrageous effort at goal from distance which looked set for the top corner but Stekelenburg flung himself to his right and flicked the ball onto the outside of the post. That was enough to help the Merseysiders to a share of the spoils. Player Ratings

Bournemouth ran Hull City ragged at the Vitality Stadium, handing Mike Phelan a miserable start to life as the Tigers’ full-time manager. Goals from Charlie Daniels, Steve Cook and Junior Stanislas saw the home side go in 3-1 up at half-time, with Ryan Mason's deflected shot the only saving grace for Hull. But that positive vibe was extremely short-lived, with Daniels turning home the opener inside five minutes after Stanislas' whipped free-kick had struck the woodwork. It was a lifeline for the visitors, but they never looked like getting back afloat on a wet afternoon on the south coast, with Cook - on his 200th club appearance - restoring Bournemouth's lead on 41 minutes with a header from a lofted free-kick. Robert Snodgrass, who should have already been booked, then lunged in to give away a penalty before the break, which Stanislas dispatched with aplomb into the roof of the net. Hull had half-time to regroup, but it was a case of more of the same after the interval, with the Cherries still rampant. Stanislas grabbed his second of the afternoon on 65 minutes to effectively seal the win, but it got worse for the beleaguered visitors late on as Wilson and Gosling added gloss to the scoreline. The result leaves Hull without a win in six, but a goals against record of 17 in their most recent four games will be the most worrying stat for Phelan. The Tigers were ripped apart almost at will by Bournemouth and need a quick solution to those defensive problems before the current slump becomes something more serious. Player ratings

A brilliant performance from Ben Foster kept a dominant Spurs at bay in the first half and it looked as though West Brom had snatched victory when Nacer Chadli fired home against his former side in the 82nd minute. But Alli's composed finished in the 88th minute ensured the visitors, who saw Toby Alderweireld carried off on a stretcher, snatched a share of the spoils. With games coming thick and fast in the next few weeks, Mauricio Pochettino left Danny Rose out of the squad and the in-form Heung-Min Son started on the bench. West Brom were unchanged, with Salomon Rondon deemed fit to start after only returning from international duty on Thursday. For all their superiority, though, the visitors only created half chances in the opening 25 minutes as Christian Eriksen shot at Foster and Ben Davies' half volley deflected over the bar. Foster came out quickly to block a close-range shot from Alli before the England midfielder volleyed wide after swivelling in the box. Davies was then denied by a fine stop from Foster, who also saved one-on-one from Alli and superbly kept out a deflected effort from Eriksen. West Brom's only opening of the first half came in injury-time when Hugo Lloris spilt James McClean's shot but managed to clear before Rondon could tap in. Spurs' control of the game waned after the break and they suffered a setback when Alderweireld had to be carried off on a stretcher on the hour mark. Chances also dried up for the visitors and it was West Brom who threatened more as the game wore on. They took the lead in the 82nd minute when McClean's shot was saved by Lloris and Chadli, who left Spurs in the summer to join West Brom, fired the rebound into the roof of the net. But Spurs fought back and Alli's composed finish drew them level. There was still time for one late chance but Foster clawed away a free-kick from Eriksen which was heading for the top corner.

Granit Xhaka was sent off as Arsenal held off a late Swansea rally to secure a sixth straight Premier League win with a 3-2 victory at the Emirates Stadium. It was a pattern that continued throughout the first half with Swansea looking to counter at every possible opportunity and it nearly worked when Fer found space on the edge of the Arsenal penalty area, but his shot flew high over the crossbar. The England forward doubled the advantage seven minutes later and it was another defensive error, this time from Fernandez at a corner, as Walcott capitalised with another close range finish. Swansea pulled one back after 38 minutes as Xhaka gave the ball straight to Sigurdsson, who took full advantage of the Switzerland international's error, curling the ball beyond Cech and into the far corner. The goal seemed to galvanise the visitors and Sigurdsson had another opportunity just three minutes later, however, the Iceland international could only steer Modou Barrow's cross wide. Swansea had one final chance to level the scores before the break and Sigurdsson was involed again, swinging a dangerous free-kick into the Arsenal penalty area, but Amat's header was straight at Cech. Lukasz Fabianski was on hand to keep out Walcott with the first chance of the second half after Alex Iwobi danced inside before Ozil's cross fell to the England international, but he could not find a way past his old colleague. But the third goal was not long in coming as Sanchez found Ozil free at the back post and the Germany international, who was celebrating his 28th birthday, hammered a volley past Fabianski. But the miss didn't prove to be costly as Wenger's men hung on the deny Swansea and send Bradley's new charges into the relegation zone. Player ratings

After exchanging passes with Dimitri Payet on the left wing, Cresswell's superb centre was swept home by Lanzini from six yards, after the Argentine ghosted into the area unmarked. Palace struggled to claw their way back into the game until a frantic final few minutes of the first-half, the hosts winning a penalty after Angelo Ogbonna had brought down Benteke in the area. The Belgian, who scored a hat-trick in midweek against Gibraltar, stepped up, but nonchalantly stroked his penalty wide of the top right corner. Benteke almost made amends instantly, but his towering header from a right-wing cross came off the outside of Adrian's right-hand post. Palace goalkeeper Steve Mandanda thwarted Payet after the break from close range as Lanzini's good work set up the Frenchman inside the area, before Michail Antonio's close-range header from a corner was cleared off the line by Jason Puncheon. Cresswell then got the first of his bookings for simulation after going down easily under Yohan Cabaye's tackle in the area, and barely a minute later was harshly shown a second yellow for pulling back Wilfried Zaha on the right wing.

A stunning strike from Jose Holebas sealed Watford a hard-fought 1-0 Premier League victory over Middlesbrough on Sunday afternoon. After a goalless first half that saw Antonio Barragan escape a sending off, the midfielder curled a delightful effort into the top corner nine minutes into the second period. Both sides began the game well and had half-chances inside the opening ten minutes, with Troy Deeney nearly latching onto the end of a ball in the box before Stewart Downing skied an effort over the bar and Gaston Ramirez fired just past the far post after a one-two with Alvaro Negredo. The Valencia loanee was twice involved in penalty shouts during the opening period and in quick succession. The first came in the 24th minute when he was grappled to the ground by Younes Kaboul in the box, but referee Roger East waved away the claims. The second came just three minutes later as his shot appeared to hit the arm of Nordin Amrabat - but again nothing was given - before Downing hit wide from the rebounded ball in the box. Middlesbrough came close to opening the scoring just after the half-hour mark as Ben Gibson collected the ball around 25 yards out and went for glory, but it fired past the upright once again. The hosts should have been reduced to 10 men just seconds later as Watford went on the break, with Barragan bringing down Issac Success in what looked a clear yellow card incident. But despite being cautioned earlier in the half, he escaped with just a talking-to from East as the first half ended goalless. Watford found the breakthrough just after the restart, with Holebas producing a moment of magic in the 54th minute. It came after Success went down in the area under a challenge from by Adam Forshaw and Marten de Roon's clearance found the former Greece international on the edge of the box. He then powered a fantastic effort into the top corner to put the visitors ahead. Middlesbrough continued to see penalty appeals waved away - another in the 63rd minute as Ramirez was taken down by Miguel Britos - and Barragan again brought down Success four minutes later but escaped a second yellow. The hosts' best chance of the half came in the 68th minute as Negredo rose highest to meet a Friend cross from the right but under pressure, he could not quite get it on target, allowing Heurelho Gomes to make a low save. Watford could have twice doubled their lead before full time, and both chances involved man of the match Success, who was making his first Hornets start since his summer move. He found himself in acres of space in front of goal, but could not quite latch onto a blocked Etienne Capoue shot. He then turned Calum Chambers into knots on the left of the box and hit a delightful curling effort, but Victor Valdes made the save. Watford managed to secure their third win of the Premier League season after another penalty call was waved away late on as Chambers was challenged by Holebas. Player ratings

Southampton stretched their unbeaten run in all competitions to seven games with a comfortable 3-1 victory over Burnley on Nissan Super Sunday. But that will have been of little significance to Claude Puel's men - who last tasted defeat on September 10 - as they moved up to eighth in the Premier League. With Ryan Bertrand and Cedric Soares missing through injury, Southampton recalled Matt Targett and Cuco Martina, while Jordy Clasie replaced Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in midfield. Burnley, unchanged for the third game in succession, were boosted by Tom Heaton's return to fitness after he shook off the calf injury which saw him pull out of Gareth Southgate's England squad. And the Clarets captain was involved from the offset, producing a sensational save to tip Austin's goal-bound header around the post as the hosts started brightly. The withdrawal of Targett with a suspected hamstring injury on the quarter-hour mark dampened Southampton somewhat, with their next opening coming on 30 minutes. Fraser Forster's rushed clearance inadvertently played Dusan Tadic through on goal, but again the impenetrable Heaton kept the scorelines level. Virgil van Dijk was fortunate not to concede a penalty for a clumsy challenge on Johann Berg Gudmundsson on 33 minutes, before Southampton spurned another gilt-edged chance as Austin made a hash of his shot when played through by Tadic's exquisite pass. Heaton had to be alert to keep Redmond's near-post strike out shortly before half-time, but, after Steven Defour was forced off injured, there was still time for the Saints to miss another chance as Austin failed to convert Redmond's cross home in stoppage time. Missing their midfield talisman, Burnley were helpless to prevent Southampton scoring three goals in a devastating 14-minute spell. First, Austin bundled the ball home from close range after Van Dijk had headed a corner across the box, before Redmond rifled home a low volley on the hour-mark. After Gudmundsson was penalised for a bringing Sam McQueen to ground, Austin slotted home his second from the spot. Referee Mike Dean handed Burnley a lifeline when Tadic was penalised for blocking Ben Mee in the area, and Vokes duly obliged from the spot as Southampton saw their six-game run without conceding come to an end. But there was to be no Burnley comeback as Southampton saw out an impressive victory, which would have been even more comfortable had it not been for the fine form of Heaton. Player ratings

Liverpool were held to a 0-0 draw by a stubborn Manchester United in Monday night's Premier League clash at Anfield. Goalkeeper David de Gea made two fine second-half saves from Emre Can and Philippe Coutinho to deny Liverpool the chance to move joint top of the Premier League. But the draw meant neither side would move up the Premier League table with Liverpool fourth and United down in seventh. Jurgen Klopp's attacking options were limited from the start as Georginio Wijnaldum missed out through injury and Adam Lallana was only fit enough to make the bench, which meant Can and Daniel Sturridge were given a chance to impress. Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard dropped out of the United team with Marouane Fellaini included in midfield and Ashley Young - starting a league game for the first time since January - given the nod as the left-sided attacker. Wayne Rooney was again kept in reserve. United defended deep but consistently threatened on the counter attack; almost carving out an opening when Rashford beat Milner and forced Loris Karius to push away his low cross with Ibrahimovic lurking. Roberto Firmino's 29th-minute header from Jordan Henderson's diagonal ball warmed the palms of De Gea, but that was as close as either side got to a goal before the break. Liverpool's nerves were frayed shortly after the interval when 23-year-old Karius sloppily kicked a back-pass straight to the feet of Paul Pogba on the edge of the area. He passed straight to Ibrahimovic and the linesman's flag spared the goalkeeper's blushes. And minutes later Ibrahimovic spurned his side's best chance of the night when he failed to head Pogba's inch-perfect cross on target with the goal at his mercy. De Gea was called into serious action for the first time on 59 minutes when Can bulldozed into the penalty area and shot through a crowd from 12 yards, forcing the United goalkeeper to push smartly away to his right. Meanwhile, Antonio Valencia's brilliant late tackle to deny the rampaging Firmino summed up a frustrating night for Liverpool, who welcome West Brom to Anfield next on Saturday evening.

A fiery encounter saw referee Craig Pawson award six yellow cards, with Lamela avoiding a second booking shortly before half-time for a late tackle on Dan Gosling and Moussa Sissoko accused of elbowing Harry Arter in the second half. Meanwhile, Bournemouth move into the top half with teams around them still to play and will be buoyed by the fact Jack Wilshere completed 90 minutes for the first time in two years. Eddie Howe's side, without the in-form Junior Stanislas due to a calf injury, suffered another blow in the warm-up when Andrew Surman was taken ill and replaced in the starting line-up by Gosling. But the Argentina international, one of four Spurs players to collect a booking in a feisty first-half, was fortunate to stay on the pitch before the break when he escaped without a second yellow card for a lunge on Gosling. Mauricio Pochettino introduced Janssen as the visitors went in search of the winner, but Bournemouth - who were restricted to one shot on target - frustrated their opponents. After consulting his assistant, referee Pawson declined to take further action and in the end Bournemouth finished the game on top. Jack Wilshere had a penalty appeal waved away following a firm challenge by Victor Wanyama, while replacement Benik Afobe headed over in stoppage time. Player ratings

Leicester City regained their domestic swagger and made it 20 Premier League games unbeaten at the King Power Stadium with a 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday. Jamie Vardy was dropped to the bench and his replacement Ahmed Musa opened the scoring. Yohan Cabaye notched a late consolation for Palace, who have now lost back-to-back games and have failed to keep a clean sheet in the last 14 Premier League outings. The Premier League champions left out Vardy, who was without a goal in nine games with Musa slotting in on the left wing and Islam Slimani through the middle. The Foxes were quickly into their stride. That was as good as it got for the hosts in an opening 25 minutes dominated by Alan Pardew's men. The best chance fell to Christian Benteke who crashed a header against the crossbar on 13 minutes from Martin Kelly's cross. Last season's PFA Player of the Year, Riyad Mahrez, influence on the game started to grow as the half wore on and Leicester began to threaten. The winger cross-come-shot from the right flank was headed over by Okazaki on 34 minutes but the net did bulge eight minutes later. Musa found space on the edge of the area and despite having Mahrez on the overlap, he decided to go for goal and found the top corner with a crisp strike. That goal set the platform for Leicester to push after the break and they made it 2-0 on 62 minutes. An attack down the left dropped at the feet of Okazaki, who smashed a low effort into the bottom corner from 15 yards. Two became three on 79 minutes when Fuchs pinged an effort with his left-foot from 25 yards straight into the net. Cabaye went close for Palace minutes later but Kasper Schmeichel made a smart save at his near post. It was nothing more than a consolation as Leicester sent on Vardy with 15 minutes to go and they came close to extending their lead in injury time through Mahrez. Player Ratings

Xherdan Shaqiri scored two sensational goals to help Stoke City to a 2-0 win at Hull City. Stoke opened the scoring on 26 minutes when Shaqiri was given too much space to cut inside on to his left foot, punishing the hosts with a wonderful strike that curled into the top corner. The Potters continued to dominate after taking the lead and could have gone further ahead, with Marko Arnautovic and Joe Allen both threatening, but an impotent Hull managed to restrict the lead to just a single goal by half-time. However, it took just five minutes of the second half for Stoke to double their lead, as Shaqiri curved a sumptuous free-kick over the wall and into the bottom corner of David Marshall's net. However, manager Mark Hughes would have been surprised by the ease with which his visitors took control, with Shaqiri heavily involved from the outset. For all of Stoke's attractive play, however, chances had been at a premium until the 26th minute, when the ball was worked to Shaqiri on the right. Given too much time and space to cut inside by the Hull midfielder, the Switzerland international needed no second invitation to pull the trigger, unleashing a world-class strike to beat Marshall. Hull were again at fault with the second, failing to clear their lines after dispossessing Allen and giving away a free-kick in a dangerous area. And with Shaqiri in such sparkling form, it seemed almost destined to be a second as he strode up to whip the set-piece beyond a helpless Marshall. Arnautovic could have had two goals of his own, but was twice denied by the Hull goalkeeper, although the visitors did begin to threaten after the introduction of Abel Hernandez and a switch to a back-three. Even a melee after the final whistle that led to a yellow card for Shaqiri could not ruin the diminutive playmaker's afternoon, who produced one of his best performances for Stoke to help the club reach their 100th win in the Premier League. The result also sees Stoke move out of the bottom three, leapfrogging Hull in the process.

The result means Arsenal remain unbeaten in eight Premier League games, while Middlesbrough move out of the relegation zone with their fourth draw in nine games this term. Boro should have been 1-0 up after 20 minutes as Traore robbed Laurent Koscielny following some sloppy defending, only for Cech to block his effort from close range as he ran through on goal. Ramirez then hit the post with a free-kick from 20 yards, with Cech beaten all ends up, while at the other end Alexis Sanchez forced a save out of Victor Valdes with a similar set piece. Ramirez had another fine chance to put Middlesbrough ahead later in the half, but his far post header from close range after fine play from Traore was kept out superbly by Cech. Arsenal started the second-half brightest and went close within three minutes, Sanchez seeing his poked ball across the face of goal go inches over the head of Koscielny, who was placed in front of an open goal. Sanchez then hit a free-kick inches wide of the left-hand post, before Valdes tipped wide the Chilean's fine 20-yard piledriver moments later. Boro could have won it at the death as Traore fed Negredo through on goal on the left of the area, but Koscielny's superb last-ditch tackle thwarted the Spaniard as he looked to move the ball onto his right foot.

It looked as though the Hammers were set for another frustrating result at their new home, with Dimitri Payet going closest to breaking the deadlock when he hit the post in the 27th minute. The hosts, who had only won once previously in the league at the London Stadium this season, made an enforced change with the suspended Aaron Cresswell replaced by Edimilson Fernandes. Lamine Kone and Steven Pienaar started for Sunderland, who were distinctly second best in the early stages. Payet curled an effort narrowly wide and shot at Jordan Pickford after dribbling his way into the box. After weathering the storm, Sunderland eventually grew into the game and Jack Rodwell headed over from Khazri's free-kick. Patrick van Aanholt shot over from 20 yards before the otherwise ineffective Simone Zaza saw an overhead kick fly just wide of the post. Khazri spurned Sunderland's chance of the match early in the second half when he was played through on goal and failed to beat Adrian. A similar opportunity presented itself to Zaza moments later but his poor first touch allowed Kone to recover. Player ratings

Gylfi Sigurdsson stuck the post in a frantic final half hour which saw the hosts twice denied by fine saves by Heurelho Gomes, while the visitors had two penalty appeals ignored by referee Paul Tierney. Walter Mazzarri, meanwhile, recalled Juan Zuniga and Odion Ighalo in place of Nordin Amrabat and the injured Isaac Success. There was almost early euphoria as Modou Barrow, fresh from his scintillating display at the Emirates Stadium, forced Gomes to tip his low effort wide on eight minutes. A cagey opening 45 then transpired, Gomes was on hand to stifle any chance the hosts had of building momentum when he saved from Sigurdsson on 23 minutes,Barrow was Swansea's greatest threat but Watford's centre-back trio of Sebastian Prodl, Younes Kaboul and Miguel Britos prevented the winger from finding support. And Kaboul hit the opener when his 44th-minute free-kick deflected agonisingly wide of Lukasz Fabianksi's goal. The second half continued in the same vein, with chances at a premium, before both sides' desire to win caused the game to open up. Gomes produced the save of the game on 64 minutes, thwarting Mike van der Hoorn's attempts to convert Sigurdsson's inch-perfect free-kick. Bradley introduced Fernando Llorente shortly after and the Spaniard almost had the perfect impact, lashing an effort, which took a deflection, inches over the Watford goal 18 minutes from time. Watford had two penalty appeals rejected in quick succession, the first for what would have been a harsh handball call before a coming together which resulted in Valon Behrami going to ground went unpunished on 77 minutes. Sigurdsson was inches away from breaking the deadlock when he ended a flowing Swansea counter by striking the outside of the post on 82 minutes. Player ratings

Scott Arfield escaped a red card to strike in stoppage time and give Burnley an unlikely 2-1 win over Everton at Turf Moor. Sam Vokes' opener from Maarten Stekelenburg's mistake was cancelled out by Yannick Bolasie's first Everton goal, before Arfield grabbed a remarkable winner. The Canada international was booked in the first half and given a warning before committing more fouls and not being disciplined. Despite Burnley being on the back foot for much of the game, Arfield's late effort after Johann Berg Gudmundsson hit the bar gave Sean Dyche's men their third home win of the Premier League season. Indeed, straight from the off they went on the attack, with Tom Heaton saving well from Ross Barkley, Kevin Mirallas blocked and Bolasie putting an overhead kick wide. Heaton was again called into action to deny Romelu Lukaku and Barkley once more, while interventions were needed from Michael Keane and Ben Mee to keep the score blank. Arfield initially saw yellow for taking out Seamus Coleman and was then fortunate only to be told off at length by referee Mike Jones rather than dismissed when he later took out Gareth Barry. If Everton were aggrieved at that in any way, they would have been infuriated a minute later as the former Falkirk player played a significant part in Burnley going in front. Arfield burst forward from a deep midfield role with purpose but was running out of steam as he got into the box and his shot towards goal was tame. Stekelenburg was unconvincing though as he went to save and he weakly palmed straight to Vokes, who probably couldn't believe his good fortune as he poked in to make it 1-0. Everton replied positively after the break, with Barkley kept out by Heaton and Lukaku just missing a Bolasie cross. Those two combined to draw the visitors level when Barry found Lukaku and Bolasie muscled his own team-mate off the ball to pull clear and drill a low finish into the net from 15 yards. Everton continued to press and looked like the side who would go on to find a winner as Keane needed to touch Coleman's ball away from the lurking Lukaku. Bolasie's deliveries from wide were causing all sorts of problems too - with Heaton getting a crucial hand to one of them as Lukaku again sought to profit. In the first minute of stoppage time, Gudmundsson's shot smacked off the woodwork from 20 yards and Arfield - still on the park rather than replaced for his own benefit - got the winner. His low half-volley soared past Stekelenburg and as he wheeled away in celebration, even he looked like he was surprised to have had the chance to decide the contest.

Liverpool moved up to second in the Premier League thanks to a 2-1 win against West Bromwich Albion at Anfield on Saturday evening. The Baggies, meanwhile, drop to 13th in the table after just one away win in their last 11 league games. And fellow midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum was also fit enough to take his place on the bench after recovering from the hip problem he picked up on international duty. As for the visitors, experienced centre-back Jonas Olsson replaced the suspended Jonny Evans at the back, with the Swede making his first appearance since August. The home side knew that victory by a two-goal margin would send them top of the table and unlike against United on Monday, they started as though they meant business. In front of watching co-owner John W Henry, the Reds moved the ball about at pace in the opening quarter of an hour, albeit without testing Ben Foster in the Baggies goal, before opening the scoring after 20 minutes thanks to a lovely team goal. A quarter of an hour later and the home side had doubled their lead, although West Brom boss Tony Pulis will not be happy with his side's part in the goal. The Senegal international wasted little time in feeding Coutinho and the diminutive playmaker then cut back inside, before beating Foster at his near post with a low shot. At this stage of proceedings, Liverpool were rampant, quickest to every ball and attacking at will and Klopp's side really should have put the game out of sight after the break, only to waste a succession of chances. And if it was not Foster in the way, it was Olsson, with the Swede making one sensational block to prevent Can from scoring a third midway through the second period after another blistering counter by the hosts. Pulis reacted by bringing on the returning Chris Brunt, James Morrison and Hal Robson-Kanu, and those changes appeared to breathe new life into the Baggies in the final quarter of the contest. The Northern Ireland international firstly created a half chance for McAuley with a swinging free kick to the far post that forced Karius into a save. And from Brunt's resulting left-wing corner, Liverpool's frailties from set plays returned as the ball fell kindly at the feet of McAuley, who had the freedom of Anfield to thump the ball home from four yards out.

Manchester City's run without a win stretched to five games in all competitions after Southampton held Pep Guardiola's side to a 1-1 draw at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. City, who handed starts to Vincent Kompany and Sergio Aguero, were behind in the 27th minute after John Stones' poor back pass gifted Nathan Redmond the opener. Southampton, who had settled into the game well, went forward through Tadic a few minutes later but his cross was easily gathered by Claudio Bravo. Bravo was left stranded in the 27th minute though as Stones' poor back pass allowed Redmond to steal in on goal. The winger still had plenty to do and rounded the Chilean before sliding the ball into the back of the net. The frustration continued for City right up until half time as Ilkay Gundogan drove wide before Aguero's shot missed the target but Guardiola reacted at the break, bringing on Iheanacho. It brought about a change in shape for the hosts and a change of fortunes as City claimed the equaliser after 55 minutes. Fernandinho's superb long-range pass picked out Leroy Sane and his low cross was expertly finished at the near post by Iheanacho for his eighth goal in 11 games. Buoyed by the goal, City pushed forward at every opportunity and it was a case of backs to the wall for Saints, although Bravo was needed to keep out a powerful Charlie Austin drive. At the other end, Fraser Forster kept the scores level, palming away Gundogan's effort before saving David Silva's strike. Aguero threatened late on with a strong run into the penalty area, but the Argentina international pulled his shot across the face of goal. Guardiola sent Jesus Navas and Nolito on for Kompany and Sane late on as they desperately searched for a winner, but it was to no avail as City, who went back to the top of the table on goal difference, made it five games without a win in all competitions.

Jose Mourinho endured a nightmare return to Stamford Bridge as Chelsea beat Manchester United 4-0 on Super Sunday. N'Golo Kante then completed the rout with Chelsea's fourth on 70 minutes as the visitors capitulated. The victory, which moved Chelsea into the top four and left United in seventh, fittingly marked the 20th anniversary of former Chelsea vice-chairman Matthew Harding's death. Ten months after his sacking, Chelsea's most-decorated manager received a warm welcome pre-match, but that quickly evaporated as the hosts went in front before a United player had even touched the ball. Having been caught cold, United had the chance to level on eight minutes but Zlatan Ibrahimovic could only head Antonio Valencia's cross onto the roof of the Chelsea goal. Despite this, the hosts remained in firm control as Hazard volleyed wide from a corner after another defensive lapse from the visitors on 14 minutes. Chelsea soon underlined their superiority, though, Cahill escaping Chris Smalling's clutches to meet a deflected corner before clinically volleying home. Marcus Rashford had an attempt blocked shortly after but Manchester United remained in trouble. A minute later, Hazard's low cross almost fell for Diego Costa to make it three but somehow Eric Bailly was able to clear. Thibaut Courtois almost invited United back into the game on 28 minutes, parrying Ander Herrera's shot into the path of Lingard, but atoned to block the rebound. The visitors were aggrieved David Luiz was shown a yellow card, rather than a red, for a high challenge on Marouane Fellaini, which would force the Belgium international off at half-time. In the second period, Chelsea sat back and invited United forward with the intent of hitting them on the counter, a ploy which led to their third. Three quickly became four, this time Paul Pogba and Smalling were at fault as Kante was given the freedom to roam into the area and beat a hapless De Gea. Player ratings

Arsenal scored three goals in eight second-half minutes to thrash rock-bottom Sunderland 4-1 and keep pace at the top of the Premier League. Alexis Sanchez put the Gunners ahead in the 19th minute but Sunderland responded in the second-half thanks to Jermain Defoe's penalty after Duncan Watmore was brought down by Petr Cech. Arsenal were forced into two changes at the Stadium of Light with both Theo Walcott and Nacho Monreal failing late fitness tests. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Kieran Gibbs came into the side and were both heavily involved as Arsenal dominated the early stages. In just the second minute Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford's nervy clearance was closed down by Sanchez before the goalkeeper was forced to turn behind an Oxlade-Chamberlain's header just a few moments later. Sunderland were struggling to have any impact on the game, unlike Sanchez, who was involved in almost everything for the visitors. The Chile international's inch-perfect through ball picked out the run of Mesut Ozil in the 13th minute but the German's shot was easily saved. A minute later and Arsenal were in again after Sanchez's pass released Francis Coquelin, but the Frenchman didn't have the pace to get away from Lamine Kone. The breakthrough eventually came for the Gunners in the 19th minute as Oxlade-Chamberlain burst past Duncan Watmore before producing a brilliant cross for Sanhcez, who nipped in ahead of Kone, to head his side in front. Five minutes later, Sunderland though they were back on level terms as Defoe swept home from close range, however, Wahbi Khazri was rightly ruled to be offside in the build-up. Oxlade-Chamberlain, who scored twice in midweek in Arsenal's EFL Cup win against Reading, threatened again as the first-half came to a close but his low effort was comfortably saved by Pickford,The England international was involved again minutes later as his pass released Ozil, who should have made it 2-0 but did not get enough on his lobbed attempt to let the advancing Pickford and his team-mates off the hook. Sunderland returned after the break in a more determined mood, but Oxlade-Chamberlain squandered another golden opportunity after being played in behind a square defence once again and Sanchez was astonished not to be awarded a 62nd-minute penalty after going down under Kone's challenge. Sanchez converted from close range moments later after Gibbs' powerful shot rebounded off the post to complete a miserable afternoon for Sunderland and leave them rooted to the bottom of the table.

Jose Mourinho was sent to the stands and Ander Herrera saw red as Manchester United were held to a goalless draw by a Tom Heaton-inspired Burnley at Old TraffordUnited had 37 shots on goal, but found Heaton in impenetrable form as he made 11 saves. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was the chief profligate for United, missing at least three gilt-edged chances from 12 shots at goal, meaning he has now gone six league games without scoring for the first time since December 2007 with Inter Milan. United's frustration boiled over as Mourinho was sent to the stand at half time for his angry reaction to United not being awarded a penalty for a tackle on Matteo Darmian, while referee Mark Clattenberg also dismissed Herrera midway through the second half for two bookings. Ibrahimovic set the tone early on with a forceful run, but his strike from 22 yards was gathered by Heaton. That effort was one of seven shots on target during a one-sided half where United's finishing let them down. The best of those chances came on 19 minutes when Marcus Rashford slipped Ibrahimovic in behind but his close range effort was blocked away by Heaton. Lingard's header from a Herrera cross was heading for the top corner until Heaton clawed out the effort with a strong right hand. The United boss appeared from the tunnel at half time, but took his seat in the crowd next to the dugout as it emerged that Clattenburg had sent him to the stands at the break. He moved to the Directors' Box midway through the half and was seen passing written messages to one of his coaching staff. The one-way traffic continued towards Heaton's goal and he showed quick reactions to deny Mata from 15 yards on 54 minutes. Ibrahimovic flew through the air on 60 minutes to connect with a cross from the right but his scissor-kick was bravely blocked away by a starfish-like Heaton, who said after the game the power of the strike nearly broke his arm. Even when Heaton was beaten, the woodwork came to Burnley's rescue. Mata struck the outside of the post on 65 minutes before Ibrahimovic looped a header towards goal a minute later, but the ball came bouncing back off the crossbar. You'd think things couldn't get more frustrating for the hosts, but they were reduced to 10-men three minutes later. Herrera, who had already been booked for a late tackle on Dean Marney in the first half, slipped on the turf and his motion clattered into Matthew Lowton. Clattenburg was quick on the scene to give the Spaniard his marching orders. The man advantage usually swings a momentum of a game but the 10-men of United still probed and pressed for the opening goal. Paul Pogba's cross from the left was perfect and found the 35-year-old unmarked, from no more than three yards. With the goal gaping, he somehow managed to spoon the ball wideFor United, it was a case of everything but the goal. Player Ratings

Manchester City's run of six games without a win came to an end in ruthless fashion as they recorded an emphatic 4-0 victory at West Brom. Sergio Aguero's first goals since their last success - a 3-1 win at Swansea on September 24 - had City 2-0 up at the break, with his second in particular one to savour. West Brom had chances to get back into the game midway through the second half, but could not take them and Ilkay Gundogan's late double sealed a routine victory for the away side. Yet, if the sequence had impacted on confidence in any way, it did not show at The Hawthorns as they dictated from the start. Nolito had the ball in the net after just 10 minutes following an intricate move, but his goal was disallowed because Aguero had strayed offside. However, the Argentina international made up for that. His first goal was a smart finish, made to look easy following a perfectly-weighted pass from Gundogan when in truth the execution was terrific as he shot low across Ben Foster and in. Aguero's second eight minutes later was more spectacular as West Brom failed to clear and he stepped away from Jonas Olsson to fire high into the top corner from 20 yards with real bluster. The second half only saw City continue to apply pressure, but Nolito got in the way of shots from both David Silva and Gundogan, the second of which looked to be going in. Having had enough of being on the back foot, Tony Pulis withdrew Darren Fletcher and Olsson for James Morrison and Jonathan Leko and the double change had a positive effect on West Brom. Suddenly they started to make chances and Salomon Rondon was unlucky to head wide after getting to Chris Brunt's teasing long ball ahead of Claudio Bravo. Chadli also drove over and Brunt was on target with a free kick but his attempt was tame and with that the home side grew frustrated at still being kept out. City punished them for that as Gundogan's late brace sealed the win and boosted morale before their meeting with Barca. Gundogan then hit the mark again as the game moved into stoppage time, Kevin De Bruyne supplying him before he converted a fine left-footed shot.

Hull suffered a sixth straight loss in the Premier League as a late Michael Dawson own goal handed Watford a 1-0 victory on Saturday. It was a cruel loss for Hull, who rarely shone in attack, but had looked resolute in defence before Dawson inadvertently turned the ball into his own net in the 82nd minute. Watford attacked in waves down the right through Nordin Amrabat, but it was the returning Daryl Janmaat who sent in the cross which led to the winner. The hosts continued to threaten and hit the woodwork twice in quick succession after just five minutes. The first came from a corner as Younes Kaboul saw his header cannon off the crossbar, with Hull failing to clear their lines after. The ball eventually fell to Roberto Pereyra, but his curled effort from distance flicked the outside of the post with David Marshall beaten. Watford failed to make their early pressure count as the pace of the game dropped, while Hull did not create any telling chances in the first half. Just before the break, Amrabat hit a half-volley into the ground and it bounced over to Deeney at the far post, but the Watford captain could only head wide. Hull's greatest chance of the game fell five minutes into the second half, with Abel Hernandez latching onto a Will Keane flick-on, but the striker could only shoot straight at Heurelho Gomes. Instead, it was Janmaat's cross which led to the goal, with the ball ricocheting off Dawson - and the Hull captain could only watch on as it sailed beyond the helpless Marshall. The loss leaves Hull without a league win since August 20, while Watford move up to seventh in the table. Player ratings

A stunning goal from Gaston Ramirez and a second from Stewart Downing earned Middlesbrough a deserved 2-0 win over Bournemouth at the Riverside. Ramirez broke the deadlock six minutes before the break when he collected the ball inside his own half and burst forward, before cutting inside on to his right foot and slotting home a superb solo goal. Aitor Karanka's Middlesbrough went into the game without a win in the league since August and were facing the prospect of dropping into the relegation zone for the first time this season with a loss against in-form Bournemouth. However, there was no sign of that poor run impacting on the team's confidence in the early stages as Boro went toe-to-toe with the much-vaunted Cherries, bossing midfield and looking dangerous down the flanks. And it was King who went close again with the pick of the visitors' chances, controlling a chipped Jack Wilshere pass on his chest before volleying a shot against the crossbar in the 18th minute. On first viewing it appeared Boro had got lucky, but replays shows that the onrushing Victor Valdes had got his fingertips to the shot, superbly tipping it on to the crossbar. Both teams felt they could have had penalties in the game, with Traore having appeals waved away after stumbling yards after the initial contact, and King being denied a spot-kick after being wiped out by the knee of a charging Valdes. But the deadlock was broken when Ramirez burst clear of a struggling Wilshere in midfield and produced his classy swerve and shot to open the scoring. And Downing's second, which followed shortly after the interval, ultimately wrapped up the win for Boro and gave the 32-year-old his first Premier League goal for the club since May 2008. Callum Wilson and Jordon Ibe made way for Benik Afobe and Ryan Fraser, Afobe's good work allowing Adam Smith to strike from 12 yards, only for Calum Chambers to get in the way. The Cherries ensured no further damage was done as Wilshere tracked back with a goal-saving challenge to rob Traore and though Fraser threatened a consolation with a cross-shot that required Valdes' attention, there was no way back.

Vincent Janssen gave Spurs the lead with his first league goal, converting from the penalty spot in the 44th minute after he had been fouled by Robert Huth. With Erik Lamela out due to illness, Janssen started for Spurs, while Jamie Vardy returned to the Leicester line-up, but neither forward had much to work with in the early stages as chances were at a premium. Dele Alli saw a well-struck first-time shot saved by Kasper Schmeichel before Victor Wanyama dragged an effort wide. Leicester did spurn a couple of openings after the half-hour mark; Vardy failing to control when he would have been in on goal and Shinji Okazaki heading over from Riyad Mahrez's cross. Janssen then turned the ball across the face of goal before Alli smacked the bar from Kyle Walker's cut-back. The key moment of the first half came shortly before the break as Huth was penalised for dragging down Janssen in the box and the striker stepped up to convert the penalty. But Leicester levelled in the 48th minute after Wanyama's misplaced header was picked up by Vardy and he crossed for Musa to finish at the back post. Spurs, though, did go close as Janssen shot narrowly wide after turning away from Huth and then Vertonghen headed against the bar late in the game. Substitute Leonardo Ulloa almost won it for Leicester deep into stoppage time, but he saw his header across goal go past the post. Player ratings

Slick Liverpool kept pace at the top of the Premier League with a thrilling 4-2 victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday evening. Dejan Lovren headed the Reds back in front four minutes later before midfielder McArthur added his second, heading home just after the half-hour mark. Joel Matip headed home his first Liverpool goal in the 44th minute and Roberto Firmino added the fourth in the second half to see the visitors go 11 games unbeaten in all competitions. It took 16 minutes for the game to burst into life. Can was the first to strike after some fantastic Liverpool passing play, with Philippe Coutinho playing in Alberto Moreno on the left of the box. He took one touch to put the ball into the feet of the Germany international who fired home, the shot taking a deflection off Scott Dann on the way. But two minutes later, McArthur got his first of the game as he took advantage of some shambolic Liverpool defending. Matip headed the ball low into the path of Lovren, but his touch was wild and allowed the Crystal Palace midfielder to nick in and head the ball past the onrushing Loris Karius. Lovren atoned for his mistake just after the 20-minute mark as he got ahead of Dann as a corner was delivered and headed through the legs of Steven Mandanda before Moreno rifled an effort off the crossbar not long after as the Reds searched for their third. But Crystal Palace were the next to strike in the 33rd minute to again get themselves level, and McArthur was on target to nab his brace, heading home from a Wilfred Zaha cross on the left-hand side. Despite the scoreline, Mandanda did well under plenty of Liverpool pressure, pushing a fierce Coutinho strike onto the crossbar before Sadio Mane fired just over the bar from close range. Liverpool went ahead for a third time with just a minute of normal time in the half to play, as Matip nabbed his first Reds goal in style. Coutinho whipped in a cross and the Cameroon international, finding himself completely unmarked, powered a header into the back of the net to end a breathless first half. Mandanda continued to keep the Eagles within touching distance of a result and made a fine low stop with his feet to keep out a surging Mane before Karius was again called into action to deny Benteke after some great one-two play with Yohan Cabaye. Liverpool sealed their victory in the 71st minute and it was the classiest of the six goals. It was Jurgen Klopp's men who were in control from then on, as the Crystal Palace goalkeeper made a fine save to twice deny Coutinho and Liverpool saw out the game to go eight matches unbeaten in the Premier League.

Romelu Lukaku scored his ninth goal in his last nine matches against the Hammers to put the hosts ahead in the 50th minute. With Maarten Stekelenburg ruled out, Joel Robles started in goal for Everton, with Ramiro Funes Mori getting the nod ahead of Phil Jagielka in defence. Antonio diverted a cross over the bar before Obiang fired over from inside the box as two defenders slid in to block. Robles then saved from Dimitri Payet as the visitors continued to look the brighter side. At the other end, Lukaku failed to control Idrissa Gueye's shot in front of goal as the hosts struggled to get going. Lanzini curled wide after swerving round Funes Mori before Adrian produced the moment of the half, reacting sharply to superbly stop Barkley's shot with one hand. That was the closest either side came before the break, but the Hammers' level dropped markedly in the second half. They fell behind in the 50th minute as Adrian palmed out a shot from Seamus Coleman and Yannick Bolasie reacted quickly to sweep the rebound across goal for Lukaku to head in. Barkley then curled over the bar from just outside the area as Everton looked to add to their advantage. They were almost undone by some slack defensive work from Ashley Williams, who lost out to Antonio and was grateful to see Robles save. But otherwise the visitors hardly threatened and the game was as good as done when Barkley doubled the advantage, finishing at the back post from Bolasie's cross. Lukaku and Tom Cleverley were both denied by Adrian as Everton finished the game on top and comfortably saw out victory. Player ratings

Eden Hazard netted for the third league game in succession before Diego Costa curled home a sumptuous second to end Southampton's eight-month unbeaten run at home. It took just six minutes for Hazard to break the deadlock. From that moment, Chelsea's defence took over as they sat deep and soaked up Southampton's dominance of the ball. Nemanja Matic and N'Golo Kante broke up play excellently as the Saints struggled to break through a well-organised defensive unit. Chelsea should have gone in at half-time two goals to the good but Costa fluffed his lines when one-on-one with Forster after Matic had won the ball back on halfway. Costa did get his goal on 54 minutes - and it was a beauty. The striker dropped deep and picked the ball up about 25 yards out and curled home a stunning effort into the far corner. Chelsea could and perhaps should have made the victory more convincing. Pedro and Costa both squandered brilliant openings from close range, while Forster had to be alert to palm away a Hazard effort. Davis flicked a header off the top of the crossbar with 14 minutes remaining, but this Chelsea backline wasn't to be breached. It is now nearly seven hours since they conceded a goal in the Premier League, this latest victory an assertion of their title credntials. Player ratings

Wilfried Bony rediscovered his scoring touch as his two goals helped Stoke beat his old club Swansea 3-1 in the Premier League on Monday Night Football. Wayne Routledge equalised five minutes later, but Stoke ran away with the game in the second half after an Alfie Mawson own-goal ten minutes after the restart was added to by Bony in the 73rd minute. Xherdan Shaqiri played in a corner that found Wales midfielder Joe Allen on the left of the box, passing the ball into the path of Bony who slotted home past Lukasz Fabianksi. The Swans levelled in the eighth minute, as Gylfi Sigurdsson's cross found Routledge - who had got himself ahead of Phil Bardsley - and headed home to see the sides level in a raucous first ten minutes. Bony could have added a second not long after as he sent an effort curling past the post from 20 yards, before Stoke hit the woodwork for the first time. Marko Arnautovic played the ball to Charlie Adam at the top of the box and he struck the ball with power - but it bounced off the post and went wide. The Welshman then picked out a brilliant run by the Austria international at the top of the box, who rounded the oncoming Fabianski but could only see his effort rattle the woodwork once again. Swansea could have gone ahead just before the break as Fernando Llorente played a delightful knockdown into the path of Routledge, but his shot from the edge of the box forced a smart leaping save from Stoke goalkeeper Lee Grant. Both sides started well in the second half, but it was an own goal that saw the Potters go ahead again in the 55th minute. Sobhy - who had replaced Shaqiri in the first half - showed some fantastic skill to get away from Angel Rangel on the left of the box, with his shot turned into the net by Swansea defender Mawson. Chances were mostly at a premium during the second 45 minutes, with Neil Taylor having an attempt from 25 yards that went wide before a fine passing move from Stoke saw Charlie Adam also fly a shot over the crossbar. But they got their third as Allen and Bony once again caused heartbreak for their former side. Arnautovic played in the Welshman on the left of the box who saw his original shot saved by Fabianksi before poking the rebound into the path of Bony and he headed home for his second of the evening.

An injury-time strike from Ashley Barnes sealed a 3-2 win for Burnley against Crystal Palace at Turf Moor on Saturday. The home side had appeared to be cruising towards a comfortable victory when leading 2-0 at the break thanks to early goals from Sam Vokes, after just 78 seconds, and Johann Berg Gudmundsson. When Christian Benteke converted an 81st-minute penalty, it appeared as though the spoils would be shared, only for Barnes to make a last-gasp intervention. But Palace could not have made a worst start to the match after falling behind after just two minutes, and Pardew will be furious with the opening strike, coming as it did after his side had won a first-minute corner. After losing the ball from that early set play, Jeff Hendrick broke upfield at pace, before feeding Gudmundsson in the box, who in turn crossed to the unmarked Matthew Lowton at the far post. And after Steve Mandanda had parried the right back's low shot, Vokes was there in the right place to tap in from virtually on the goal line for his third goal in his previous four league games. Palace came close to equalising just before the quarter-hour mark, but found Tom Heaton once again in imperious form as the England international kept out Wilfried Zaha's close-range effort. However, seconds later Burnley had doubled their lead as Vokes picked out Gudmundsson's run, although the Iceland international still had much to do before beating Mandanda with a low shot from the left-hand edge of the area that the Frenchman got hands to, but was unable to keep out. After that, it was all Palace and it came as no surprise when the visitors deservedly levelled matters nine minutes from time after another pacy counter, this time following a Burnley corner. Benteke kept his cool from by sending Heaton the wrong way after his usual two-step run-up and at that stage, if any team looked like going on and claiming the win, it was the Eagles. However, in the fourth minute of stoppage time Burnley once again caught their opponents on the break, this time after a Palace free kick was launched into the box. After the home side had cleared their lines, though, they caught Palace out on a two versus one, with Gudmundsson crossing for Barnes to smash home his first goal since the 2014-15 season from six yards out. Incredibly that was not the end of the drama as right from the re-start, and in the fifth and final minute of injury time, the ball dropped to Townsend on the edge of the area, only for his sweetly struck volley to beat the motionless Heaton, but strike the inside of the post and bounce to safety.

Denied the artistry of absentee show-stealers Xherdan Shaqiri and Marko Arnautovic, Stoke reverted to a more robust approach, with the muscle of Jon Walters in support of Wilfried Bony. The second half initially brought more of the forgettable same until Phil Bardsley - implementing his own shoot-on-sight policy - fired in a 40-yarder to go with two outrageously ambitious first-half volleys. Bilic, like most in the ground, had seen enough and made a double change that gave his side a double-pronged attack and freed up space for Payet. There was no doubting the scorer of the equaliser, though Walters and a reluctant Adrian will compete for the assist. Racing needlessly from his goal, the Spaniard succeeded only in clattering Walters as the Irishman lifted the ball over his head. A penalty would surely have followed had Bojan not mopped up in neat style. It might have got worse for Adrian, too, but his unconvincing attempt at keeping out Adam's free-kick just about smuggled the ball round the post. Player ratings

Marten De Roon's stoppage-time header earned Middlesbrough a 1-1 draw at Manchester City on Saturday in the Premier League. Sergio Aguero gave City the lead from close range following Kevin De Bruyne's superb cross from the right just before the break, and despite having several chances to put the game beyond Boro, the hosts could not beat Victor Valdes. Middlesbrough levelled at the death through De Roon's powerful header from George Friend's fine cross, continuing their up-turn in form in the top flight. Pep Guardiola made three changes from the side that beat Barcelona in midweek, welcoming Jesus Navas, Aleksandar Kolarov and Claudio Bravo back into the fold. Valdes beat away Aguero's effort from inside the area just after the half-hour mark after the Argentine had found space, before Valdes was at his best to superbly deny his compatriot David Silva's close-range shot. Aguero then half-volleyed just wide from a left-wing cross, but City got their goal two minutes before the break through the striker, his 150th for the club since joining in 2011. Picking the ball up on the right, De Bruyne's fine low cross found the boot of Aguero at the near post, and he duly poked it into the bottom right corner past Valdes. Navas hit the post for City with an audacious effort from an acute angle, which Valdes looked to have covered, but Boro came out in the second half with more attacking intent. Former City man Alvaro Negredo forced Bravo into a save with an effort from the halfway line, before Bravo darted off his line to deny Adam Forshaw from 10 yards. City huffed and puffed for a second, with Ilkay Gundogan volleying wide and Aguero heading over the bar, but they should have been home and dry with four minutes remaining. Receiving the ball inside the area unmarked from Jesus Navas' cut back, Aguero steered the ball inches wide when he should have scored. And the hosts were punished in the first minute of stoppage time as Friend's deep cross went over the head of Negredo, but Dutch midfielder De Roon was on hand to power a header past Bravo, who got a touch on it.

Sunderland ended their winless start to the Premier League season with a dramatic 2-1 win at Bournemouth despite having a man sent off. With David Moyes serving a one-game touchline ban, Sunderland fell behind to Dan Gosling's goal but Victor Anichebe levelled things up, scoring his first league goal for 546 days. Things looked bleak for under-pressure Moyes with 30 minutes remaining when Steven Pienaar was shown a second yellow card but Jermain Defoe scored from the penalty spot on 74 minutes. Bournemouth threw everything at the visitors in the closing stages, but goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and his back four stood strong to give the North East club a huge victory. Papy Djilobodji, Paddy McNair and Anichebe replaced John O'Shea, Jack Rodwell and Whabi Khazri while Eddie Howe was without Andrew Surman and Callum Wilson, who were both missing with minor knocks. Gosling had a chance to impress in Surman's absence and struck to give his team the lead on 11 minutes. Bournemouth were carving Sunderland open every time they went forward and Pickford had to be alert to block a Josh King effort after Van Aanholt had switched off again. However, the visitors carried a threat of their own and levelled the match on 33 minutes. Anichebe, on his first start in the Premier League for Sunderland, showed great strength to hold off Simon Francis in the box and he kept his composure to smash home from an acute angle. With the game in the balance, Pienaar lost his head. Already on a booking for a foul on Jack Wilshere, the Sunderland man made a rash, dangerous tackle on Junior Stanislas right in front of referee Mike Dean, who was left with no option but to send off Pienaar. From then on, it was backs against the wall for Sunderland as Howe's men pinned the visitors back. It seemed only a matter of time before they would regain the lead, but Wilshere missed from close range on 66 minutes after a neat one-two with Stanislas. However, with Moyes probably fearing for his job, the 10-men scored an unlikely winner. The all-action Anichebe burst into the box and Smith hauled him down just as he was about to shoot. Defoe stepped up and, despite the pressurised situation, he kept his cool to fire powerfully into the net. Sunderland then defended their box with a determination that had been missing in the opening 10 matches. Bournemouth created plenty of openings, but the ball seemed to break Sunderland's way in crucial situations. When a chance did fall for the hosts, Pickford was there to clear up. With two minutes left, Stanislas hammered a shot from 15 yards that was heading for the top corner until Pickford diverted the effort wide of the post with a spectacular one-handed save.

Eden Hazard scored twice as Chelsea powered to the top of the Premier League with an emphatic 5-0 thrashing of Everton at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening. In a hugely one-sided contest, Hazard set the hosts on their way with the opening goal in the 19th minute. Marcos Alonso doubled the advantage 23 seconds later and Diego Costa made it 3-0 shortly before the break. Hazard scored the fourth for a Chelsea side brimming with confidence and Pedro completed the rout in the 65th minute. Toffees boss Ronald Koeman tried to match the hosts with three at the back, as Phil Jagielka and Maarten Stekelenburg returned to the starting line-up along with Tom Cleverley. Less than a minute later it was 2-0 as Hazard's clever turn set up another break and Pedro cut across for Alonso to drill a shot through the legs of Stekelenburg. Chelsea continued to dominate and Victor Moses struck the post after meeting Alonso's cross on the half volley. The visitors offered nothing in response in a remarkably one-sided first half. Costa extended Chelsea's lead in the 42nd minute when he fired in from a corner and the striker could have scored a second in injury-time when he raced clear, but failed to hit the target. The slick hosts did add another after the break, Hazard driving goalwards after collecting a backheel from Pedro and then drilling a shot into the bottom corner. Everton looked completely hapless and, after Stekelenburg saved from Costa, it was 5-0 when Hazard's shot was palmed out for Pedro to finish into an empty net. Still the visitors showed no sign of a comeback and Stekelenburg had to save from Costa and then David Luiz as Chelsea pushed for more. Moses had the hosts' final chance but he saw his effort saved as Antonio Conte's side had to settle for five. Player ratings

After Theo Walcott had hit the post with a superb effort, Arsenal took the lead through Kevin Wimmer's own goal just before the break, the defender heading past Hugo Lloris from Mesut Ozil's cross. Back in the side after a seven-week absence, Kane's penalty levelled it up for Spurs after the break, following Laurent Koscielny's foul on Mousa Dembele. Kane started for Spurs after being out with an ankle ligament injury, but Dele Alli missed out having picked up a knee problem in training on Saturday. The England international nearly returned with a bang after 21 minutes, steering a diving header from Christian Eriksen's cross just wide of Petr Cech's right-hand post. Walcott was denied a stunning opener as his fierce effort from just outside the area bounced off the woodwork, before Ozil blazed the rebound over the bar on the half volley. Arsenal took the lead three minutes before half-time as Ozil's free-kick was diverted by Wimmer's head into his own goal, though the replays showed that Sanchez, who did not touch the ball but was arguably involved in play, was offside from the German's cross. Spurs improved after the break, and levelled from the spot through Kane after Koscielny had brought down Dembele following a fine run from the Belgian. Kane stepped up, slotted the ball down the middle of the goal, and celebrated his fifth goal in a north London derby, and his 14 in 14 games against other clubs from the capital. Petr Cech kept the scores level just five minutes later, superbly diverting Eriksen's firm left-footed effort from 12 yards wide of the post, before Kane failed to divert at the far post after Danny Rose had picked him out. The unmarked Granit Xhaka was then inches away from converting a Sanchez cross, while Eric Dier did superbly to block Hector Bellerin's shot from close range. Spurs are now without a win at the Emirates since November 2010, while four of the last five north London derbies in the Premier League have ended in a draw. Player ratings

Liverpool went top of the Premier League and extended their unbeaten run to 12 games on Sunday afternoon by beating Watford 6-1 at Anfield. Philippe Coutinho doubled the hosts' lead moments later before Emre Can made it 3-0 shortly before half-time. After the break, Roberto Firmino tapped home the fourth in the 57th minute and Mane netted his second on the hour-mark before Daryl Janmaat pulled one back for Watford with 15 minutes to play. Liverpool had a plethora of chances before making the breakthrough, with the first coming after nine minutes when Adam Lallana's cross found Firmino in the box, but his header was well saved by Heurelho Gomes. The Watford stopper was in action again eight minutes later as he got down low to keep out a header from Lucas before Coutinho shot wide from six yards. Sadio Mane surged forward on the left-hand side before playing in his team-mate and after taking a touch to round the defenders, shot agonisingly wide of the upright. Firmino also skewed a shot wide in the 24th minute after Coutinho slipped him into the box but Mane eventually found the breakthrough three minutes later. The Senegal international met a cross from Coutinho from the left flank, following a short corner with James Milner, with a header which powered into the back of the net. That opened the floodgates for Jurgen Klopp's men as Coutinho added his name to the scoresheet three minutes later. It was a brilliant flowing attack as Lallana played in Firmino at the top of the box, who in turn found his countryman to his left. Gomes injured his knee during the goal and was replaced by Costel Pantilimon but the Romanian was not able to stop the rampant Reds with Can added the third in the 43rd minute. Coutinho played in Lallana on the right of the box, whose cross found the German at the back post - having got away from Nordin Amrabat - and he slotted home to give Liverpool a commanding half-time lead. Despite the scoreline, it was an even start to the second period, with Coutinho going close in the opening five minutes as his effort from the top of the box just went over the crossbar. Mane nabbed his second three minutes later to make it 5-0 with another tap in from Firmino's low cross after the forward had been played though by Milner. Watford had a decent spell of pressure after the fifth, as Loris Karius was called into action twice in quick succession, keeping out Etienne Capoue with a fine low save before doing so again to deny Odion Igahlo. Janmaat eventually beat the German from the edge of the box after Amrabat had got away from Milner on the right-hand side and picked out the full-back. Player ratings

Hull City came from behind to beat Southampton 2-1 at the KCOM Stadium on Sunday afternoon after scoring twice in the space of just 125 seconds in the second half. The Tigers, who were booed off at half-time, trailed at the break to Charlie Austin's sixth-minute penalty. The visitors, meanwhile, recalled key trio Jose Fonte, Austin and Steven Davis, who all sat out Thursday's 2-1 home win against Inter Milan in the Europa League. And it was Southampton who made the perfect start to the game after earning a penalty just six minutes in following a rash tackle by Hull centre-back Curtis Davies on Maya Yoshida, with referee Graham Scott having no hesitation in awarding a penalty. Southampton's in-form striker Austin kept his cool from the spot by sending David Marshall the wrong way, with the ball nestling in the bottom left-hand corner of the net for the 27-year-old's eight goal in all competitions this season. The home team's afternoon then went from bad to worse as only four minutes later they lost big-money forward Abel Hernandez to injury, before fellow frontman Will Keane fell victim to a nasty-looking knee problem midway through the first half. But after Southampton - who could have seen Dusan Tadic sent off for a high tackle on Rayan Mason in the first half -central defender Virgil Van Dijk had struck the bar with a header six minutes after the break, the visitors' midweek exertions in Europe appeared to catch up with them, with Hull taking full advantage. Firstly Harry Maguire missed a great chance to pull his team level, with the defender failing to hit the target from close range after being picked out by Snodgrass' inch-perfect free kick. However, that was soon forgotten as just a minute later the Tigers were level after Sam Clucas made his way to the left-hand byline, before pulling the ball back perfectly for Snodgrass - on for the injured Keane - to rifle home from 10 yards out. Incredibly, barely had anyone in the stadium been able to catch thweir breath before Hull found themselves in front in the game, and again that man Snodgrass was involved. The Scotland international, who has a wand of a left foot, swung a free kick straight on to the head of Dawson, with the central defender rising highest to power a header high into the net past a helpless Fraser Forster.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba scored as Manchester United ended their goal drought with a 3-1 victory over Swansea City. With Jose Mourinho serving a one-match touchline ban, United broke a three-game Premier League run without scoring as Ibrahimovic netted twice to end his own goalless streak and Pogba fired home a stunner all before half-time. Mourinho's side had a very experienced look to it as Michael Carrick and Phil Jones were handed their first Premier League starts of the season. Wayne Rooney was also included from the off as United's youngest player was 23-year-old Paul Pogba. Bob Bradley, who is still without a win as Swans boss, also rang the changes from Swansea's limp 3-1 defeat at Stoke, bringing in Leon Britton, Stephen Kingsley, Angel Rangel and Borja Baston. United were at it from the first whistle while Swansea allowed their previously out-of-form visitors to play at whatever pace they liked. It took just 13 minutes for United to strike as Pogba gave everyone a timely reminder of why he's been named on the 30-man shortlist for the Ballon d'Or. A long ball into the Swansea area was only half cleared to the former Juventus man, who showed tremendous technique to half-volley the ball from 22 yards straight into the top-right corner. It was the 25,000th goal scored in the Premier League. Rooney and Ibrahimovic revelled in the space afforded to them by the lacklustre Swansea midfield. They linked up again to make it 3-0 on 33 minutes as Ibrahimovic scored his 400th league career goal. Jefferson Montero's introduction at the break improved Swansea, albeit only slightly, and they got their consolation on 69 minutes when Van der Hoorn rose to plant a header into the net from a Gylfi Sigurdsson set-piece.

Matt Phillips bagged the winner for West Brom as they beat Leicester 2-1 in the Premier League on Sunday. The Baggies winger capitalised on a poor error by Danny Drinkwater to net with 18 minutes to go at the King Power Stadium. James Morrison had initially put West Brom ahead earlier in the second half before they were quickly pegged back by the head of Islam Slimani. Jamie Vardy was back on the bench for Leicester, but the attacking duo put out by Claudio Ranieri in Slimani and Shinji Okazaki barely had a look-in while Salomon Rondon was equally isolated at the other end for West Brom. The game did spring into life almost immediately after the break, however, and after so long without either side really looking like scoring, there were two goals in almost as many minutes. First, West Brom took the lead after 52 minutes via Morrison, who headed home on his first Premier League start since January after Phillips' cross had deflected into his path. And just three minutes later the game was level, as Leicester repeated the same trick at the other end, Riyad Mahrez swinging one onto the head of Slimani, which the Algerian striker duly nodded past Ben Foster. Leicester immediately upped the ante in search for a goal that would have put them in front, but it was West Brom who struck next in the 72nd minute thanks to a disastrous error from Drinkwater. His attempt at a backwards pass on halfway served only to feed Phillips in behind, who duly ran on before finishing coolly past Ron-Robert Zieler, who was in for the injured Kasper Schmeichel in the Leicester goal. The Foxes pushed for an equaliser again, but their efforts were in vain and their run of 20 Premier League home games without defeat finally came to an end to leave them 14th in the table after just three wins from their first 11.

Olivier Giroud headed home a late equaliser as Arsenal snatched a 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday. Arsene Wenger has had little to cheer against Jose Mourinho in the Premier League but his decision to throw on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Giroud late on proved inspired as they combined for the leveller after Juan Mata's opener. The late salvo stretched Arsenal's unbeaten run in all competitions to 17 games, although Wenger has still yet to beat Mourinho in the league in 12 meetings and his team only mustered one shot on target in the game. In the absence of the suspended Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Mourinho, who engaged in a frosty pre-match handshake with Wenger, decided to start Marcus Rashford in attack and leave Wayne Rooney on the bench. It was one of four changes from the victory over Swansea last time out, as Antonio Valencia surprisingly returned from a broken arm to replace Ashley Young at right-back. United looked under strict orders to press Arsenal high up the pitch from the off. It yielded plenty of early pressure but little way of clear cut chances. Rashford and Pogba twice powered into space down the right flank but on both occasions their fine crosses were won by an Arsenal shirt. Despite their high-tempo beginning, it was Arsenal that should've opened the scoring on seven minutes when Nacho Monreal's cross was flicked on by Theo Walcott but Sanchez made a mess of the header from six yards. Matteo Darmian, who was booked for a foul on Walcott on 25 minutes, was perhaps lucky not to receive his marching orders eight minutes later when going in late on Jenkisnon. Referee Andre Marriner felt one last warning was sufficient punishment. The man in the middle was called into action again on 35 minutes when he waved away a penalty appeal as the rampaging Valencia took a tumble after a coming together with Monreal. Mourinho was visibly seething on the touchline. The first shot on target in the game came on 37 minutes as Petr Cech got down smartly to push away a Mata effort after he had turned away from Shkodran Mustafi. The pace of the game dropped after the break with Arsenal, who have the best away defensive record in the league, happy to sit in a organised shape and soak up United's dominance of the ball. Mourinho tried to inject some life into his team's lethargic build-up play by sending on Rooney on 63 minutes. The extra man in a forward area created more space for the United attackers and they took the lead five minutes later. Paul Pogba and Ander Herrera linked well down the right flank and the latter's cross into the area was clinically dispatched from 12 yards by Mata - his fifth league goal against the Gunners. Arsenal's response was non-existent, until they burst forward on 89 minutes to net an unlikely equaliser. Player Ratings

Yaya Toure marked his return to Manchester City's starting line-up by scoring twice in Pep Guardiola's side's 2-1 victory at Crystal Palace. The Ivory Coast international had been left on the sidelines at City after his agent Dimitri Seluk criticised Guardiola for leaving his man out of the Champions League squad. Kompany also returned to City's starting line-up but his bad luck continued as he lasted only 38 minutes after being clattered by Bravo as the goalkeeper came out to claim the ball. Alan Pardew, who had injury problems of his own, also made two changes with goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey recalled in place of the injured Steve Mandanda, while James Tomkins replaced Damien Delaney. Toure picked up the ball on the edge of the penalty area and played a one-two with Nolito before shooting powerfully beyond Hennessey with the help of a deflection off Tomkins. Pardew responded at half-time by replacing Andros Townsend with Wickham and it lifted the home side as Christian Benteke's header forced Bravo into a smart save. As the hosts pressed for an equaliser, City almost doubled their lead in the 65th minute through Sergio Aguero but first Hennessey took the sting out of the shot before Joel Ward hooked the ball off the line. The Ivorian latched onto Kevin De Bruyne's low corner and he calmly finished to complete a remarkable return from his City exile. Player ratings

Bob Bradley's search for a first Swansea win goes on after Seamus Coleman's late header earned Everton a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park. Gylfi Sigurdsson had given Swansea the lead from the spot in the first half after he was brought down by Phil Jagielka. And it was a decent start from the visitors, with a Sigurdsson free-kick from 20 yards out forcing a fine save from Maarten Stekelenburg. Everton were slow to get going but then carved out two glorious opportunities to take the lead. Firstly, a powerful Yannick Bolasie cross ricocheted off Romelu Lukaku's thigh in the six-yard box and sailed over the bar when it could have gone anywhere. Five minutes before the break, Barrow picked out Sigurdsson in the box, who flicked it past Jagielka before the Everton defender bundled the forward over as he was getting a shot away. Jagielka received a yellow, while Sigurdsson picked himself up to take the spot-kick, sending Stekelenburg the wrong way with a fine penalty into the top corner. Swansea did have the chance to go two goals clear just after the hour-mark, but Jay Fulton glanced his header wide from Sigurdsson's cross. A resolute Swansea defence appeared to be guiding their side to victory, but Everton had the final say in the last minute of normal time. Ashley Williams, who was facing his old club for the first time since a £12m summer move, sent in a cross which was cleared out to Bolasie. The winger's cross was headed into the air by Jordi Amat, and Coleman leaped highest to direct the ball into the far corner beyond Fabianski's grasp. Player Ratings

Jermain Defoe scored his 150th Premier League goal and Victor Anichebe struck twice as Sunderland recorded a precious win over Hull City. The scoreline was perhaps a little harsh on Hull but the result means David Moyes' men have now won back-to-back games to move off the bottom of the Premier League table. Defoe lit up a first half full of endeavour but lacking in quality with a typical piece of brilliance to put his side ahead. The 34-year-old appeared to have more time and space than any other player on the pitch as he beat two defenders before firing a left-footed shot into the far corner. It was as confident and clinical a strike as any of the 149 Premier League goals he has scored prior to it, and was his seventh - out of Sunderland's 10 - for the season. But Anichebe added a second on 62 minutes to deliver a hammer blow to Hull's momentum in the game and then stamped a seal on it with six minutes left to play, both efforts beating David Marshall at his near post. The second came from a neat pass by Defoe and four minutes after Hull had spurned three chances to get on the scoresheet and back into the game. Curtis Davies had a header brilliantly kept out by Jordan Pickford, Dieumerci Mbokani had his follow-up shot scrambled off the line and then Jake Livermore had an effort blocked at close range.

Nathan Ake's header handed Bournemouth a fine 1-0 win at Stoke, who missed a second-half penalty through Bojan at the Bet365 Stadium. Bournemouth took the lead on 26 minutes through Ake's close-range header, his first goal on his first start for the club. Bojan missed a penalty for Stoke in the second half, hitting the bar from the spot after Simon Francis had stepped on the Spaniard's foot. Stoke welcomed back Xherdan Shaqiri and Marko Arnautovic to the starting XI, but Mark Hughes' side struggled to get out of the blocks in the first half. Bournemouth should have had a penalty early on as Callum Wilson was cleaned out by last-man Ryan Shawcross, but Roger East waved play on, despite the defender getting nowhere near the ball with his tackle from behind. Josh King then saw his low effort from the right side of the penalty area saved superbly by Lee Grant, but the visitors did eventually go ahead after some more slack Stoke defending. Ghosting into the six-yard box unmarked from Junior Stanislas' free-kick on the right, defender Ake powered a header past Grant and into the centre of the net for 1-0, only his second senior goal. Stoke came back into the game as the first half wore on, with Shawcross seeing his header from a Shaqiri corner cleared off the line by Steve Cook. The hosts, who had scored their last 13 penalties, were handed a spot-kick three minutes into the second half as Francis unintentionally stepped on the foot of Bojan, but the Stoke man struck his effort against the crossbar. East was at the centre of attention once again as Wilfried Bony's nasty challenge on Francis went unpunished, despite the striker already being on a yellow card. Jack Wilshere nearly wrapped it up for Bournemouth in the final minute, striking the outside of the post with a finely-struck effort from the edge of the box, but the visitors were holding on at the end as Arter cleared Bruno Martins Indi's effort off the line.

Liverpool failed to make their second-half dominance count as they were held to a goalless draw at Southampton on Saturday. Sadio Mane was brilliantly denied by Fraser Forster in the first half, but it was after the break that the Premier League leaders turned the screw. Both teams were missing players injured on international duty - Adam Lallana out for Liverpool and Dusan Tadic not involved for Southampton. But Philippe Coutinho was fit to start despite needing a scan after his return from Brazil and Sofiane Boufal made his first Premier League start for Southampton, who sat back and stifled the visitors in the early stages. After the break Southampton they were pinned back inside their own half and it took another superb last-ditch challenge, this time from Jose Fonte, to deny Coutinho, before Joel Matip almost turned in a free-kick. The closest Saints came was in the 59th minute when Charlie Austin rose to meet Cedric Soares' cross but headed wide. Liverpool continued to threaten with Emre Can missing the target with an effort from outside the box before Firmino poked wide from in front of goal after being played in by Coutinho. With the rain hammering down, Liverpool's final chance fell to Firmino, but his shot from the edge of the box was palmed away by Forster. Player ratings

Roberto Pereyra's classy strike gave Watford a third win in five games as they beat stumbling champions Leicester 2-1. All the goals came in the first quarter of an hour at Vicarage Road, with Etienne Capoue scoring the opener after just 32 seconds. Pereyra curled in the home side's second with 12 minutes on the clock and although the visitors replied quickly through Riyad Mahrez's penalty, they could not get back on level terms. The result sees Watford keep up their promising start to their Premier League campaign under Walter Mazzarri but Leicester continue to hover just above the relegation zone. All the key moments in this fixture came in a frantic opening sequence, with Pereyra the architect of the goal which put Watford ahead. His persistence down the left when he seemed to be going down a blind alley but he managed to wriggle away from two men and cut inside before crossing into the box. Leicester's response was meek at first and Watford took advantage of that to double their advantage. Leicester made a game of it, however, and within three minutes they had a chance to get back into the game as a penalty was awarded following Miguel Britos' clumsy trip on Jamie Vardy. Riyad Mahrez took the kick and sent it right down the middle into the net, suddenly making what had been a commanding Watford lead look like a vulnerable one. In response, Nordin Amrabat was a useful outlet for the hosts and his pace and direct approach restricted any kind of progress Leicester looked like making. Watford should have been 3-1 up before the break when Deeney, chasing his 100th goal for the club, was released down the right channel. By comparison, the second period was a poor follow up to the first and the game became increasingly scrappy as Leicester became more desperate for a leveller. That said, Watford could again have netted a third but wasted a good chance when Zieler got across to Pereyra. At first it looked to be an outstanding save after Daryl Janmaat's hanging cross but in reality Pereyra should have finished comfortably and headed straight to where the keeper was heading instead. Huth was blocked superbly by Britos while Wes Morgan and Ahmed Musa were also kept out by stern defending. Once more, however, Britos was well placed to deny him and when Vardy curled horribly wide in stoppage time, it was clear it would not be Leicester's day.

The Hammers had looked to be heading for victory after another Michail Antonio header saw them go ahead in the first half, but Spurs got themselves level six minutes after the break as Harry Winks netted on his first league start. The visitors retook the lead in the 67th minute when Manuel Lanzini converted from the spot, but Kane again got Spurs on equal terms, tapping home with one minute of normal time to play, before converting a penalty in the first minute of time added on to seal a remarkable win for the hosts. Christian Eriksen then had the ball in the net not long after following a delightful through ball from Eric Dier but he was flagged marginally offside, before Kane also flashed a shot past the post from 10 yards. He made the breakthrough nine minutes later though, netting his 11th headed Premier League goal of 2016. Dimitri Payet's corner initially found Cheikhou Kouyate - who rifled his effort against the crossbar - but the rebound fell to the feet of Reid, who floated a cross towards the back post which was powerfully headed home by Antonio. But the hosts did find their equaliser six minutes into the second half after some brilliant Spurs build-up. Rose slipped in Vincent Janssen on the left, before hammering a shot at Darren Randolph but the parry fell into the path of Winks, who slotted home from close range. Player ratings

The striker reacted quickest to turn home from a corner in the 41st minute at the Riverside. Pedro fired against the underside of the bar in the second half as Chelsea largely controlled the contest on their way to a sixth straight win and clean sheet. George Friend missed out for Boro with injury so Fabio made his first league appearance, while Gaston Ramirez came in for Stewart Downing. The only half chances for Chelsea saw Victor Moses slash a shot wide and Marcos Alonso miss the target with an effort from distance. But the Blues did step it up as the half wore on and Victor Valdes pulled off a fine save to deny Pedro from Moses' cut-back. Alvaro Negredo headed over at the other end in a rare opening for the hosts. The breakthrough arrived in the 41st minute as a corner was deflected up into the air and Costa was the first to react to volley into the net. Chelsea continued to control the game after half-time and Alonso saw a low shot saved by Valdes. Boro spurned an opening when Ramirez missed the target from the edge of the area, before Chelsea created a couple of clear chances in quick succession. First, Pedro fired against the underside of the bar from Costa's knock down, before Moses shot over after being slipped through on goal. The misses kept Boro in the game but they only once tested Thibaut Courtois as Negredo controlled well and then saw a shot tipped around the post. Otherwise, it was comfortable for Chelsea as they secured another win and clean sheet. Player ratings

West Brom moved into the top half of the table with their biggest Premier League win in more than two years as they defeated Burnley 4-0. After scoring his first goal for the club in their 2-1 victory at Leicester in their previous outing, Matt Phillips notched his second just four minutes into the contest at The Hawthorns. His fellow Scotland internationals James Morrison and Darren Fletcher also struck before half-time to kill the match as a contest. The excellent Salomon Rondon then got a fourth as Albion matched their 4-0 scoreline from September 2014, also against Burnley, to move up into ninth place. Both sides went into the fixture off the back of valuable wins in their previous outings but it was West Brom who built on theirs. Phillips had been the matchwinner at the King Power Stadium and continued from where he left off - albeit his opener was a gift from the visitors. Chris Brunt released Morrison down the right and his cross was intercepted by Dean Marney, but he succeeded only in playing the loose ball to the former QPR forward. Phillips then took a touch to control before turning round and firing high into the net from close range to give the hosts an advantage they never looked like losing. Burnley tried to respond but Scott Arfield's volley from a tight angle was tame, Steven Defour's shot was blocked and Jeff Hendrick lifted just wide of the post. West Brom made them pay for their misses in ruthless fashion as they poured forward and Rondon showed great upper body strength to hold off Michael Keane and set up their second. He played Morrison clear and the midfielder waited before picking his spot low past Heaton with a really smart, curled finish. It suddenly seemed such a long way back for Burnley and even Heaton made an uncharacteristic mistake as he passed to Morrison only to feel relief as he screwed high and wide. A third was coming, however, and after Rondon drilled a fierce volley just over after being supplied by Allan Nyom, it was Fletcher who got it. Burnley's reply was meek after the break and it was fitting the final goal of the night went to Rondon. One of the most improved forwards in the Premier League, his all-round play had been terrific and although his strike went in via a deflection, it was richly deserved. Phillips and Morrison combined on the left to feed Nyom and his cut-back found Rondon, who controlled then steered in off Ben Mee. There were chances for a fifth as West Brom finished strongly on a night when a Tony Pulis team scored four times in a Premier League match for just the third time. Brunt's long-range volley went past, Hal Robson-Kanu almost poked in a wicked cross from the Northern Irishman and Heaton tipped an attempt from Craig Gardner wide.

Sergio Aguero scored twice as Manchester City came from behind to beat Burnley 2-1 at Turf Moor in the Premier League. The Clarets, for whom 37-year-old Paul Robinson started in goal in place of the injured Tom Heaton, took the lead in the 14th minute thanks to a brilliant volley from Dean Marney. But Aguero replied for City before the break and, after being denied by a superb save from Robinson, netted a scrappy winner on the hour mark after the hosts spurned several chances to clear their lines. Perhaps some of that was due to the absence of centre-backs Vincent Kompany and John Stones, the former out injured and the latter rested. But they did have Aguero fit to start after an injury doubt, with Kevin de Bruyne and David Silva on the bench. Possibly feeling the effects of playing away in the Champions League on Wednesday, City started slowly. Aside from an early Aguero shot that Robinson got down sharply to save, it was the Clarets who played with more purpose. They had strong penalty appeals waved away when Nicolas Otamendi barged into Jeff Hendrick from behind, but took the lead after 14 minutes when Marney brilliantly volleyed home from outside the box. City threatened a response as Nolito forced Robinson into a low save, Aguero shot off target and Yaya Toure then fired against the outside of the post. Eventually they equalised as a corner wasn't cleared and Aguero reacted quickest to slide in at the back post. Only a superb one-handed stop from Robinson minutes later prevented Aguero scoring a second. Burnley lost Marney and Johann Gudmonsson to injury before the break and they were on the back foot for the majority of the second half. City cranked up the pressure and eventually broke through on the hour mark, albeit in slightly fortuitous circumstances. Burnley had several chances to clear their lines, with Ben Mee even taking out Stephen Ward as he tried to clear the ball away, before Fernandinho squared for Aguero to turn in off his knee. City continued to press and control the game but their inability to finish it off could have cost them as Burnley posed problems with balls into the box. Michael Keane saw a goalbound header blocked before George Boyd and Hendrick were closed down quickly as they went to shoot. The Clarets had two further chances in injury-time, Keane's header hitting Mee's back after Claudio Bravo failed to claim a cross and Ashley Barnes then hitting an overhead kick at the keeper, but City held out for victory.

Riyad Mahrez got Leicester level from the penalty spot just after the half-hour mark following a Calum Chambers handball but Negredo once again found the net with just under 20 minutes to play. Boro started as the stronger side and drew a fine save from Ron-Robert Zieler after ten minutes following a brilliant run from Adama Traore on the right flank. He saw his cross palmed into the path of Adam Forshaw, who in turn found De Roon at the top of the box - but he fizzed wide. Three minutes later, Negredo got his first Middlesbrough goal in 977 minutes of action. He set off the move in the middle of the park, finding Gaston Ramirez on the left flank who surged forward, before crossing back in for the striker who delightfully chipped the ball over the Foxes defence and into the back of the net. Leicester started to find their flow on the half hour mark as Mahrez showed off the best of his skills to get away from Fabio on the right-hand side, dancing in the box before his cross found Shinji Okazaki to his left. The Japan forward hit a delightful overhead kick but his effort rattled the crossbar and went wide. Jamie Vardy had failed to score in 14 matches for the Foxes ahead of Saturday's game, and went agonisingly close to breaking his drought with two minutes of the half to play. Okazaki latched onto a scrappy knock down from Mahrez and fired a cross for the striker, which he duly sent goalwards but a slight nick from an incoming Ramirez saw it poke just past the upright. Chances were mostly at a premium during the second half, with the first eye of goal coming in the 63rd minute as a Danny Simpson cross found Andy King in the middle of the box but his header just popped over the bar, prompting Claudio Ranieri to take off Vardy and Mahrez and replace them with Slimani and Ahmed Musa. The two had an instant impact and Leicester looked to be getting on the front foot, linking up to set up Okazaki for a fine effort from the top of the box - which was well saved by Victor Valdes - before a Musa shot just skimmed the crossbar. Leicester were threatening to equalise as the minutes ticked down, as Daniel Amartey hit a firecracker of an effort just over the bar before King headed into the path of Musa but he also scuffed an effort in front of the goal mouth.

Mike Phelan's unchanged side looked to be heading for that outcome as the confident Baggies bossed the first half, with James Morrison firing early shots at goal and Darren Fletcher sending a header over the crossbar. West Brom's full-backs Allan Nyom and Craig Dawson had great joy down each flank but could not provide the quality delivery needed to make the breakthrough. That task came down to Phillips, whose pacey corner set McAuley up to guide his header down into the net beneath stumbling Hull City defenders. Phelan introduced Adama Diomande for the second half and his injection of direct running buoyed the side, and the midfielder forced Ben Foster into his first save of the game on 50 minutes. Jake Livermore than had two excellent chances to level, the second capping off a wonderful one-touch move that incorporated six Hull players, but ended with an easy stop for Foster. Foster saved another shot from Snodgrass as Hull piled on the pressure, and the Scotland forward's endeavour was rewarded when his free-kick was knocked down by Dieumerci Mbokani and fell to Dawson to poke home. Chadli curled a great free-kick towards the top-near corner that was palmed away by David Marshall before close-range headers for Robson-Kanu and Rondon, both from James McClean crosses, failed to find the target.

In an uneventful, goalless first period, there was a worry for Liverpool as in-form Philippe Coutinho was brought off on a stretcher with a foot injury. Liverpool were unchanged for the first time in 40 Premier League games under Jurgen Klopp, but his side struggled to create clear-cut chances in the first half. It was Sunderland who had the best chance of the half, with Steven Pienaar failing to capitalise on a mix-up in the Liverpool defence, seeing his close-range effort blocked by Loris Karius. There was a big concern for the Reds as Coutinho was taken off on a stretcher with an injury to his right foot after kicking the boot of Lamine Kone. Dejan Lovren had Liverpool's best chance of the first period, heading wide unmarked at the far post from Jordan Henderson's free-kick, before Jordan Pickford saved well down low from Sadio Mane's shot on the turn. Georginio Wijnaldum's mis-hit volley was inches away from Milner's boot after the break, before Jordan Pickford did superbly to block Roberto Firmino's low effort at the near post. It nearly worked instantly, but Emre Can's half-volley fell inches wide of the right-hand post, before Duncan Watmore's heavy touch allowed Karius to block the ball at his feet after he had been put through on goal by Victor Anichebe. Liverpool finally broke the deadlock on 75 minutes through Origi, who shaped to cross from an acute angle on the edge of the area, but instead found the far corner of Pickford's goal with a superb effort.

Fernando Llorente’s stoppage-time double gave Bob Bradley his first Premier League win as Swansea claimed a thrilling 5-4 victory over Crystal Palace. Wilfried Zaha had put Palace ahead at the Liberty Stadium before Gylfi Sigurdsson's sensational free-kick sent the teams in level at half-time. Leroy Fer scored two goals in three minutes after the break to put Swansea clear of their opponents, before James Tomkins and a Jack Cork own-goal brought Palace back to 3-3. Switching to a 4-4-2 paid dividends early on for Palace, with Wickham and Benteke both proving too powerful in the air for the Swansea centre-backs. But Belgium international Benteke squandered a chance to put Palace ahead less than seven minutes in, firing over from close range after Dann's header caused a goal-mouth scramble. Palace's aerial dominance paid off after just 19 minutes though, with Benteke rising to beat Federico Fernandez in a frequent mismatch and finding Zaha. The winger still had to turn to beat Taylor though, before firing low past Lukasz Fabianski to put Pardew's side ahead. The away side were in control right up until the 36th minute, when Jason Puncheon foolishly pushed Cork on the edge of the area, giving Sigurdsson an opportunity to take centre-stage, and the Iceland international struck a sweet free-kick into the top left-hand corner to draw level. Zaha almost put Palace back in front straight away, heading against the crossbar after Yohan Cabaye had found him at the back post. The game turned when Wickham suffered what looked a serious injury early in the second half and was replaced by Townsend. With Palace forced to switch from their 4-4-2 formation, the Swans took control. Bradley acted quickly to bring on Llorente before a Swansea corner and the Spaniard's resulting header from the set-piece bounced off Cabaye on the line and was poked back in by Fer to put Swansea ahead. Fer then scored his second goal in three minutes after a free-kick deflected off Palace and Swansea players before finally glancing off Llorente and in off Fer's toe. But Palace struck back in the 75th minute when another goal-mouth scramble finished with Tomkins scoring from close range, before Zaha's cross took a wicked deflection off Cork and looped over Fabianski to make it three apiece. Pardew looked to have his first win since September 24 when Benteke then reacted quickest in the six-yard box to turn Dann's header towards goal and make it 4-3 with just six minutes of normal time remaining. However, after Llorente's header was saved brilliantly by Hennessey, the former Juventus striker deflected in Sigurdsson's rebound to bring it level in the 91st minute. Player ratings

Mauricio Pochettino's side opened the scoring after only 11 minutes thanks to Christian Eriksen's brilliant long-ranger - the first goal Chelsea had conceded in over 10 hours - only for Pedro to level just before half-time with his own sensational strike. Referee Michael Oliver deserves praise for his part in the goal, with the official playing an excellent advantage in the immediate lead-up to the Dane's strike after a foul on Son Heung-min. And if anything in the first period, it looked as though it was Chelsea, rather than Spurs, who had had a tough Champions League exertion on the road in midweek. In fact, it took Chelsea only six minutes of the second half to go in front for the first time, with Diego Costa playing an integral role as the muscular Brazil-born striker broke clear to the left-hand byline, before pulling the ball back for the unmarked Moses to score, despite Jan Vertonghen's presence on the line. That miss, though, was not to prove costly as Chelsea easily held on to their lead in the final quarter of the game as the visitors' 26-year wait for a league win at the Bridge continues.

Heurelho Gomes pushed Charlie Adam's header into his own goal to hand Stoke City a 1-0 win away at Watford on Sunday. Adam looked to have barged Valon Beharami to meet the corner, just before the half-hour mark, but the goal stood and ultimately proved decisive. Miguel Britos was sent off in added time as Watford were found frustrated when chasing an equaliser late in the game, while Younes Kaboul was forced off injured early in the first half. Jon Walters and Mame Diouf joined Xherdan Shaqiri and Marko Arnautovic in a new-look Stoke attack, and Watford - whose only change saw Jose Holebas come in for Camilo Zuniga - struggled to deal with them in a one-sided first half. Gomes was forced into a triple save inside just seven minutes, with Diouf, Bruno Martins Indi and Shaqiri all seeing efforts beaten away. Gianni Imbula, who regained his place in the starting line-up, was the next to try, hitting a fierce strike from distance which drifted just high and wide of Gomes' goal. Adam somewhat dubiously shrugged off the challenge of Behrami in the six-yard box to meet a Shaqiri corner, which was pushed into the goal by Gomes after coming back off the post, handing Stoke the lead after 29 minutes. Little changed after half-time, with Arnautovic charging down the left-hand side minutes after the break and teasing a cross along the face of the goal which Walters could not quite reach with the goal gaping. Daryl Janmaat came closest for the Hornets in a second half of few chances, volleying just wide of Lee Grant's goal with 10 minutes left. As Watford pushed for an equaliser Stoke launched counter-attacks and Britos was dismissed for a cynical pull-back on the escaping Shaqiri having been booked in the first half for a late challenge on the same player. Hughes' Stoke closed out just their second away victory in the Premier League this season to send Mazzarri racing down the tunnel at full-time before shaking hands with his counterpart.

An Alexis Sanchez double helped Arsenal earn a hard-fought 3-1 win against Bournemouth on Sunday in the Premier League. Arsenal went ahead early on after Sanchez capitalised on a poor Steve Cook backpass to slot home, before Callum Wilson equalised with a soft penalty after he was brought down by Nacho Monreal in the area. Theo Walcott regained Arsenal's lead eight minutes into the second half with a header after Monreal's fine cross, while Bournemouth had a strong penalty appeal turned down by Mike Jones after Monreal handled in the area. Arsene Wenger made seven changes from the side that drew 2-2 with Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night, dropping Olivier Giroud back to the bench, and starting Granit Xhaka, Theo Walcott and Mathieu Debuchy, who hadn't appeared for the club in over a year. During a frantic opening, Mesut Ozil saw his close-range effort blocked by the superb Nathan Ake, before Ake again blocked from Mohamed Elneny after a well-worked Arsenal free-kick. The hosts were ahead on 12 minutes, largely thanks to Bournemouth defender Cook, whose weak back-pass towards Adam Federici was pounced upon by Sanchez. The Chilean composed himself to apply a simple finish as the goal was left open by the Cook mishap. The injured Debuchy was replaced by Gabriel minutes later, as the half began to turn in Bournemouth's favour. They were awarded a penalty halfway through the first period after Wilson got goal-side of Monreal, though it did not look like the Arsenal defender made much of a move towards Wilson as the striker fell down in the area. Adam Smith then headed over the bar unmarked from eight yards after Ake's header across goal, before Petr Cech saved well at his near post from Brad Smith's effort. Arsenal finished the half on top, Sanchez smashing the ball against the bar from an acute angle on the right of the area, but Bournemouth deserved to be level at the break. Ozil was then inches away from latching onto Sanchez's fine through ball, while Cook did his best to redeem himself for his early error with a superb block from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's effort. Bournemouth had a strong penalty appeal turned down halfway through the second half as Monreal handled in the area, before former Arsenal youngster Benik Afobe saw his far post effort from a corner from six yards saved well by Cech.
