Summer signing Ben Chilwell scored one and assisted another on his first Premier League start since his £45m move from Leicester City as Chelsea returned to winning ways against Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored his ninth goal of the season and James Rodríguez netted twice as Everton beat Brighton to make it four Premier League wins from four for the impressive table-topping Toffees.
Leeds' record signing Rodrigo took advantage of an Ederson error to earn a Leeds a draw and prompt more questions for struggling Manchester City.
Newcastle moved up to sixth in the Premier League with a comfortable win over a disappointing Burnley side.
West Ham picked up where they left off against Wolves last weekend with another impressive display to end Leicester's 100% winning start to the season.
Southampton won for the second consecutive game in the Premier League with a comfortable victory over West Bromwich Albion.
Arsenal scored two quick-fire team goals to extend Sheffield United's point-less start to the Premier League season - although the Blades did manage their first goal.
Pedro Neto's goal helped Wolves return to winning ways as they condemned Fulham to a fourth straight Premier League defeat.
Tottenham came from behind in remarkable fashion to inflict an embarrassing home defeat on a shambolic Manchester United, who played an hour of the game with 10 men.
Ollie Watkins scored a first-half hat-trick and Jack Grealish had a hand in five goals as Aston Villa deservedly stunned champions Liverpool with one of the most unbelievable scorelines in Premier League history.
