Arsenal 4-1 Portsmouth: The Gunners are flying following an opening day thrashing of Everton and go 2-0 up against Pompey early on, both goals from Abou Diaby, laid on by Eduardo Da Silva
Against the run of play, Younes Kaboul rises above Manuel Almunia in the Arsenal goal to nod the visitors back in to the game, their first goal of the Premier League season
The Gunners start the second half much as the played the first and grab a third early on as William Gallas bundles home an Andriy Arshavin free-kick more by fluke than design
It's 4-1 to the home team when Robin van Persie opens up the Portsmouth defence and second-half substitute Aaron Ramsey slots the ball past David James
Birmingham City 0-0 Stoke City: For the second time this week, St Andrew's hosts a potential relegation battle, though both sides show as much top-flight class as agricultural grit
The second half, however, grinds to a turgid halt with few chances or invention from either side, though Birmingham will take four points from six at home this week
Hull City 1-0 Bolton Wanderers: By contrast, the Tigers have begun with losses to Chelsea and Spurs and Phil Brown makes four changes to face his old club at the KC Stadium
Kamel Fathi Ghilas gets the only goal of the game to give Hull the win, surviving everything that Bolton can throw at them, and Brown's tactic of taking his side for a hike since the Spurs game looks just the tonic
Manchester City 1-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers: The visitors may be in a good mood after a midweek win in Lancashire but City's millions are once again paying off as Carlos Tevez sets up Emmanuel Adebayor

Sunderland 2-1 Blackburn Rovers: Sam Allardyce's team get their first goal of the season through Gael Givet, a drilled shot from the edge of the box, to open the scoring at the Stadium of Light
Rovers have yet to address their defensive problems evident against Manchester City and, playing without Steven Warnock who may be on the way to Aston Villa, Kenwyne Jones punishes their lack of marking
Jones gets his and Sunderland's second goal, getting above a still creaking Blackburn defence, though Rovers have two goals disallowed and hit the crossbar in reply
Wigan Athletic 0-5 Manchester United: After a first half of no goals and high petulance Wayne Rooney finally breaks the deadlock for United to ease the midweek frustrations at Burnley
Moments later Dimitar Berbatov improvises a way past Chris Kirkland and an awkward finish following a beautiful one-touch passing move involving himself, Rooney and Paul Scholes
United, and Rooney in particular, are now rampant and the England striker soon follows his 100th goal for the Red Devils with his 101st before Michael Owen replaces him
And Owen picks up on the generosity of the Latics' defence still on offer, slid in by Nani (who later adds a fifth goal), his first competitive goal for United easing the pressure that previous misses have brought
