Burnley 3-1 Sunderland: The Clarets have beaten Manchester United and Everton at home already this season but Owen Coyle deflects the focus on to Steve Bruce, who he says can manage England one day
Burnley, no changes to their side in their last five games, take the lead, despite seeing less of the ball, when Anton Ferdinand's foul concedes a penalty that Graham Alexander tucks away
The Black Cats, who have much the better of the first half, level when Andy Reid feeds Darren Bent to score the first goal Burnley have conceded at home in eight league games, over 12 hours of football
Chris Eagles lays on the ball for Tyrone Mears' near-post cross and David Nugent, on loan from Portsmouth and making his home debut as a second-half substitute, heads Burnley back in front
Burnley break but the chance looks gone when Nugent is overlooked in space only for the Black Cats' defence to then give him as much of Turf Moor as he would like to turn, score his second, and seal the win
Arsenal 4-0 Wigan: The Gunners are the team to watch for entertainment, goals and unpredictable results so far this season but manager Arsene Wenger would probably appreciate the start of some consistency
William Gallas has an effort cleared off the line as the Gunners pepper a static Latics side but can only find the net through Thomas Vermaelen, nodding home Robin van Persie's corner at the near stick
Vermaelen then stuns even home fans and team-mates, interchanging several one-touch passes before curling the ball in to the top corner of Chris Kirkland's goal from the edge of the box, great football and a fine goal
Smiles for all but Wigan when Eduardo da Silva's goal-bound flicks off Emmanuel Eboue for Arsenal's third, with both players running in different directions to celebrate 'their' goal, before Cesc Fabregas bags a fourth
Aston Villa 2-0 Portsmouth: Any hopes of Martin O'Neill's midweek spat with Nigel Reo-Coker being overshadowed by a game of guile and culture come to nothing in a dire opening half-hour at Villa Park
The hosts, lacking the invention to create a chance in open play, break the deadlock from the penalty spot through James Milner after Nadir Belhadj sends Stiliyan Petrov tumbling in the box
Villa get their second just before the break as Gabriel Agbonlahor turns Tal Ben-Haim as easy as door handle and thumps the ball in to the roof of ex-Villain David James' net
Bolton 1-1 Stoke: Wanderers may look to build on their first points of the season last weekend but Dave Kitson, formerly of Reading, puts City ahead with a well-placed shot, his second of the season
Gary Megson's side look all out of ideas until Welsh international Sam Ricketts darts in to the box, gets hauled down, and Matt Taylor converts the penalty to draw a game that Stoke should otherwise walk away with
Hull 0-1 Birmingham: The Blues have so few players available to them that they can not field a full bench of substitutes, while Jan Venegoor of Hesselink make his first league start for the home side
Garry O'Connor comes off the Birmingham bench to rise above the Tigers' defence and swipe three vital away points for his side, leaving Hull at the perilous end of the league table
West Ham v Liverpool (1730): The visitors have three ex-Hammers in their line-up and have only lost once in their last seven trips to Upton Park, while the hosts haven't won since the opening day of the season
Zavon Hines robs Jamie Carragher and hits the Liverpool post early on but the Reds take the lead when Fernando Torres beats his man and prods the ball past Robert Green
The Irons are back in the game when they are given a penalty, no question, though Liverpool protest that Alessandro Diamanti hits the ball twice as he slips to score
The Reds take the lead again through Steven Gerrard's header from a corner, though Dirk Kuyt may have the last touch, before Carlton Cole equalises (another corner, another header) moments before the break
Good work down the Hammers' left gives Ryan Babel the space to pick out Torres with a lofty cross who scores the third header of the game to win it for Liverpool
