Manchester United 2-1 Arsenal


Andrey Arshavin capped a brilliant first half by putting Arsenal ahead and if Ben Foster had not denied Robin van Persie with a brilliant feet-first save, Arsenal would probably have won.
Instead, Wayne Rooney won a penalty when he went down under Manuel Almunia's challenge, and scored it himself before Abou Diaby turned Ryan Giggs' free-kick into his own net to give the hosts their victory.

At White Hart Lane, Lennon kept Tottenham's 100 per cent record intact with the winner deep into injury time against Birmingham.
Peter Crouch opened the scoring in the 72nd minute only for Lee Bowyer to equalise just three minutes later. Final result Spurs won 2-1.

Dave Kitson scored the only goal as Stoke City beat Sunderland 1-0 at the Britannia Stadium.

At Molineux, Wolves 1 Hull 1. Geovanni had given Hull a third-minute lead but Wolves grabbed a deserved point through defender Richard Stearman early in the second half.

Ten-man Bolton looked like they were going to hang onto their first league point of the season. Twice the home side were ahead through Kevin Davies and Tamir Cohen, before they had Sean Davis sent off for a second bookable offence with 36 minutes left.

Liverpool, who had equalised in the first half through Glen Johnson, did so again through Fernando Torres before Steven Gerrard's cracker settled the issue. End result Bolton 2 Liverpool 3.

Goals from Nicolas Anelka, Michael Ballack and Ashley Cole kept Chelsea's 100 per cent record intact and left Burnley tasting defeat for the second time this season. Chelsea surges to the top of the league with a convincing 3-0 result against Burnley.

Finally Blackburn shares point with West Ham as both teams couldn't score in their meeting.

Look like Chelsea has became an early candidate for Champion with this week convincing performance.
