Brighton and Hove Albion claimed their first win with a 3-1 victory against West Bromwich Albion. A brace either side of half-time from Pascal Gross gave the hosts a 2-0 advantage before Tomer Hemed looked to have sealed the win on 63 minutes.The Baggies cut the gap on 77 minutes through James Morrison but were unable to avoid defeat.

Everton suffered consecutive losses with a 3-0 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur.

Harry Kane opened the scoring on 28 minutes for Spurs who went into half-time with a 2-0 advantage after a strike from Christian Eriksen on 42 minutes. The points were wrapped up just after half-time as Kane struck his second goal for 3-0.

Summer signing Eric Choupo-Moting opened his account for the Potters three minutes before half-time but United went into the interval on level terms as Marcus Rashford equalised.
