Arsenal 3-0 Newcastle: Robin Van Persie is first to score a Premier League penalty today, following Charles N'Zogbia's handball

And the Dutch 25-year-old, out for much of last season, slides in for his second, Arsenal looking calm and confident at half-time, 2-0 up

Despite Newcastle's better work in the second half, the Londoners' evening is complete as Denilson finishes a fine passing move

Bolton 0-0 West Brom: Wanderers' Kevin Davies and Albion's Scott Carson tangle in a gritty, physical match of few chances

Everton 0-3 Portsmouth: Jermain Defoe gets his and Pompey's first goal of the season as they take the lead against the Toffees

A one-two through Everton's static defence sees Defoe then lay on the ball for Glen Johnson, scoring Portsmouth's second

Everton have a lifeline back in to the game but although Yakubu's penalty kick is soft, David James does brilliantly to make the save

David Moyes is left as bemused about his side's performance as many are about Pompey's third, scored either by Defoe or Peter Crouch

Hull 0-5 Wigan: Steve Bruce's side take a quick 2-0 lead through Sam Rickett's own goal and Antonio Valencia's superb breakaway effort

Three unanswered second-half goals from Wigan, one from Emile Heskey, two from Amr Zaki, serve Hull a first top-flight defeat

It is all too much to take as Phil Brown's Hull are well-beaten at the KC stadium by Steve Bruce's side, led by Zaki's performance

Middlesbrough 2-1 Stoke: The Potters' Amdy Faye is sent off after 36 minutes for a two-footed tackle on Mohamed Shawky

And Stoke's problems worsen as Alfonso Alves tucks the subsequent free-kick in to the top corner of Thomas Sorensen's net

Justin Hoyte's Middlesbrough debut turns woeful as Dave Kitson's effort ricochets off him to equalise and the right-back is substituted

But Tuncay grabs the winner, turning in Didier Digard's effort, despite appeals from the Stoke defence for offside

West Ham 4-1 Blackburn: Paul Ince takes his place on the bench as the club of his early playing days host his Rovers team

And Ince is unimpressed as Calum Davenport jumps highest to nod in Julien Faubert's corner and put the Hammers ahead

West Ham get a second through Mark Noble's deflected shot but Rovers grab one back through Jason Roberts' well-taken toe poke

Rovers earn a penalty but Roberts is denied by Robert Green's splendid, low, left-handed save to keep the home team in front

Despite an even contest, two late West Ham goals, from Craig Bellamy and Carlton Cole, sink Ince's Rovers at Upton Park
