Leicester held on to beat West Ham and continue their 100% winning start to the season under Claudio Ranieri.
Shinji Okazaki put the Foxes ahead, heading home the loose ball after goalkeeper Adrian blocked his volley.
Riyad Mahrez made it 2-0 before half-time with a powerful finish for his third goal of the season.
West Ham improved after the break and Dimitri Payet pulled a goal back, but their best chance of an equaliser saw Kasper Schmeichel deny Diafra Sakho.
The Hammers had Adrian sent off for a challenge on Jamie Vardy after he went up for a corner in stoppage time.
And Mame Diouf headed in a late equaliser for Stoke as they fought back from two goals down to draw against Tottenham in a thrilling game at White Hart Lane.
Eric Dier gave Tottenham the lead with a header from a corner and Spurs added a second before half-time when Nacer Chadli volleyed in at the back post.
Marko Arnautovic pulled a goal back from the penalty spot after Toby Alderweireld brought down Joselu.
Diouf secured a point when he got on the end of Stephen Ireland’s cross.
In an early kick off, two goals from the impressive Romelu Lukaku secured Everton their first victory at St Mary’s in over a decade against a lacklustre Southampton.
The Belgian’s brace came from his first two shots on target, the first a wonderful header into the top corner.
Everton ruthlessly counter-attacked and doubled their lead as Lukaku combined with Ross Barkley and struck into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.
Barkley added a third, another fine strike curled into the top corner, reports the BBC.
