This week's big story came from White Hart Lane, where Wigan Athletic spoiled an otherwise excellent week for Tottenham Hotspur by claiming a shock 1-0 win. Wigan picked up their first goal and first points of the season in a fixture which they lost 9-1 last year, while Spurs themselves will need to figure out how to balance domestic and European campaigns sooner rather than later if they are to qualify for the Champions' League next season. Early pace-setters Chelsea continued their excellent run of form with a fairly routine 2-0 win at home to Stoke City. The Champions have now scored 32 league goals without reply. Arsenal picked up a valuable three points in a tricky away fixture at Blackburn Rovers, while Manchester United cruised to a 3-0 win over West Ham United at Old Trafford, courtesy of a Wayne Rooney penalty as well as goals from Nani and Dimitar Berbatov. The Hammers have now conceeded three goals in each of their three games this season, and will enter the international break bottom of the table.
Elsewhere on Saturday, Blackpool were unlucky not to win their first home game in the Premier League, having to settle for a 2-2 draw with Fulham, while Wolves continued their fine start to the season with a 1-1 draw at home to Newcastle United.
On Sunday, Manchester City suffered a surprise defeat away to Sunderland, while Aston Villa continued their inconsistent start to the season with a 1-0 win over Everton. Bolton Wanderers' clash with Birmingham City finished in a 2-2 draw, and Liverpool had Fernando Torres to thank for a 1-0 victory over West Brom at Anfield. Details of all the results and goalscorers can be found below.
