Ahead of the first International break of the season, the Premier League reached Gameweek three.
The weekend began with the early-kick off at White Hart Lane as Tottenham hosted Liverpool.
The visitors were the better of the two sides in what was a tight first 40 minutes before making their mark on 43 minutes with a penalty from James Milner for a 1-0 lead at the interval.
However, the Reds defence were unable to hold off the hosts with Danny Rose levelling on 71 minutes to claim a share of the points.
Another South v North clash came in the 3pm games as Chelsea hosted Burnley at Stamford Bridge. The Blues continued their perfect start to the season with an early strike from Eden Hazard before Willian sent them into the interval 2-0 ahead. The win was wrapped up late on as Victor Moses struck for 3-0 as the Blues made it three wins in a row.
A battle between two sides yet to get off the mark took place at Selhurst Park as Crystal Palace faced Bournemouth.
The Cherries opened the scoring after just 11 minutes through Josh King and looked on course to secure their first win as the lead held long into the second half . However, the Eagles had other ideas as they salvaged a point in the final minutes through Scott Dann for a 1-1 draw.
Everton and Stoke met at Goodison Park with the hosts keen to continue their unbeaten start while the visitors hoped for their first win.
A close game overall between the two sides with the points settled on 52 minutes as a Leighton Baines penalty deflected off Shay Given to give the Toffees a 1-0 success.
After a mixed start to their title defence, Leicester City looked to claim their first win as they hosted Swansea City at the King Power Stadium. The Foxes took the lead just after the half hour as Jamie Vardy struck before Wes Morgan doubled the lead to 2-0 on 52 minutes.
Swansea remained in the game and pulled a goal back with 10 minutes to go through Leroy Fer but were unable to deny a 2-1 win for the hosts.
Southampton and Sunderland faced off at St Mary's Stadium both looking for their first win. The game was a tight one with neither side able to break the deadlock ahead of the last ten minutes.
Sunderland were given a great chance in the 80th minute which Jermain Defoe took superbly as he scored from the penalty spot but the visitors were left to go home with a point after Jay Rodriguez levelled for 1-1 with five minutes left.
Arsenal looked for their first win as they made the short trip to Vicarage Road to face Watford.
The Gunners wasted no time in taking the lead with an early penalty from Santi Cazorla before two strikes in the final five minutes of the first half looked to have sealed the points as Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil struck for 3-0.
Watford gave themselves hopes of a comeback with a 58th minute goal from Roberto Pereyra but it was in vain as they lost 3-1.
The evening kick-off saw two sides with a 100% record meet at the KCOM Stadium as Hull City faced Manchester United.
The two sides were as evenly matched as their starts to the season had been but something had to give and it came in added time as Marcus Rashford sealed a 1-0 win for the visitors.
Super Sunday saw West Bromwich Albion hosting Middlesbrough at The Hawthorns.
The game however was far from super as the sides shared the points in a tight 0-0 stalemate.
The final game of the weekend saw Manchester City hosting West Ham United at the Etihad Stadium.
City took an early lead through Raheem Sterling before Fernandinho doubled the lead to put them 2-0 up inside 20 minutes. Michail Antonio pulled one back just before the hour mark but it was to be in vain as Sterling struck his second to seal a 3-1 win late on.
