Manchester United 8 Arsenal 2

A ten-goal feast of attacking football at Old Trafford. The rampant Red Devils notched eight goals but the truth be told, they could have easily had double figures. Danny Welbeck got the scoring under way but the Gunners could have been level soon afterwards. However, David De Gea saved Robin Van Persie’s poor spot-kick. A superb Ashley Young curler doubled United’s advantage and Wayne Rooney scored a fantastic free-kick before Theo Walcott gave the Gunners a glimmer of hope by netting just before the break. But Rooney killed the game with another sublime free-kick and Nani and Ji-Sung Park continued the scoring. Van Persie netted a consolation before the Gunners’ day got even worse as Carl Jenkinson was sent off. Rooney completed his hat-trick from the spot and Young hit another unstoppable strike to complete the rout. While United ruthlessly exposed the Gunners’ defensive frailty, will Arsene Wenger now sign defenders before the transfer window slams shut on Wednesday?

Tottenham 1 Manchaester City 5

Edin Dzeko inspired Manchester City to a stunning 5-1 win over Spurs with four goals at White Hart Lane.

The Bosnian striker was in rampant mood as City maintained their 100 per cent start to the season to go to the top of the table.

Dzeko got the ball rolling with the opener on 34 minutes after being set up by debutant Samir Nasri.

The duo combined again for the second goal four minutes before the break and he completed his hat-trick on 55 minutes when he scored from Yaya Toure’s cross.

Aguero got in on the act when he added the fourth on the hour mark when he raced past Michael Dawson and lifted the ball over Brad Friedel.

West Brom 0 Stoke 1

Stoke City conjured up yet another important result as they defeated West Bromwich Albion 1-0 in the Premier League on Sunday.

A Ryan Shotton goal from just yards out because of a defensive mix-up between West Brom goalkeeper Ben Foster and centre-back Gabriel Tamas in the final minute of normal time at The Hawthorns saw Tony Pulis’ side continue their unbeaten start to the season.

Despite West Brom looking the better of the two teams in the first 45 minutes, they allowed their visitors to get back into the game in the second period, and manager Roy Hodgson will now have to invent ways on how to get results for the Baggies after the international break.

Until the late goal it looked as if Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic’s superb save from Shane Long would be the most notable action.

The Bosnia international’s reflex first-half stop denied summer signing Long a third goal in three games.

West Brom were the better side in the first half, with captain Chris Brunt’s crosses a constant threat, but Stoke weathered the storm and Shotton’s late strike settled the match in their favour.

The first decent opportunity fell to West Brom after good play by Somen Tchoyi who retained his place after Peter Odemwingie suffered a recurrence of his ankle problem.

He used his physical strength to hold off the challenge of Ryan Shawcross and his cross was met by Brunt but the Albion skipper sent his header wide.

Paul Scharner escaped the marking of Woodgate to connect with a Brunt free-kick but his powerful header was directed straight at Begovic.

Newcastle 2 Fulham 1

Leon Best netted a second-half brace to ultimately earn unbeaten Newcastle a 2-1 win over Fulham at St James’ Park.

Following a dire first-half in which Best was lacklustre, the striker sprung to life after the break, scoring twice in 18 minutes to put the hosts in control.

Newcastle had goalkeeping Tim Krul to thank for keeping Fulham out on numerous occasions, but he was beaten by a looping Clint Dempsey header with two minutes remaining.

The Magpies came under intense pressure in the closing stages, but Krul remained level-headed as Newcastle ran down the clock on the counter-attack.

It was far from a vintage performance by the home side, but just as they did at Sunderland last weekend, they got the job done to bank another precious three points.

There were around 10,000 empty seats inside the stadium as the game kicked off, with an attendance of 42,684.

Matters were not helped by the injury to Ameobi which saw Newcastle boss Alan Pardew turn once again to Best and Peter Lovenkrands.

And as Fulham dominated the early stages with the Magpies unable to compete in the middle of the field, the mounting frustration was almost tangible.
