Chelsea moved to the top of the Premiership with a narrow 2-0
win over local rivals Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Frank Lampard was the Blues' matchwinner, first converting a
73rd-minute penalty before drilling home a low shot 10 minutes from
time.
Liverpool showed signs of clicking into gear with a second home win
in a week, beating Tottenham 3-0 at Anfield in Saturday's early
kick-off.
After surviving a huge scare through Jermaine Jenas' close-range
miss, second-half strikes from Mark Gonzalez, Dirk Kuyt and John
Arne Riise moved the Merseysiders onto 10 points.
Arsenal built on last weekend's win at Old Trafford by taking
another three points, this time against Sheffield United at the
Emirates Stadium.
William Gallas' first goal for the Gunners, a Phil Jagielka
own-goal and Thierry Henry's first strike of the season were enough
to give Arsene Wenger's side the spoils.
Aston Villa remain one of only three Premiership teams unbeaten
after their 2-0 win over Charlton at Villa Park.
Young strikers Gabriel Agbonlahor and Luke Moore both struck for
Martin O'Neill's side, who move onto 12 points as a result.
Manchester City relieved some of the pressure on manager Stuart
Pearce with their second win of the campaign at the expense of
struggling West Ham. Greek striker Georgios Samaras scored both
goals in a 2-0 win.
Middlesbrough slipped to another home defeat, this time to a single
goal from Blackburn's Shabani Nonda. The on-loan Roma striker
nodded the winner just before the half-hour.
Wigan and Watford shared the spoils at the JJB Stadium, with Henri
Camara's opener cancelled out by Hamuer Bouazza's leveller for the
Hornets.
