Manchester City began their quest for a third premier league title on an emphatic note with a 3-nil whitewash of West-Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns.
Ivory-Coast’s enigma; Yaya Toure and metronome; Silva stole the show, imbuing confidence in the team’s title ambitions.
Leicester City had a field day, leveraging on Sunderland’s faltering defence in a 4-2 win. Crystal Palace got the better at Carrow road over Norwich in a 3-1 encounter. Aston-Villa also got the three maximum points in an away win over premier league newcomers; Bournemouth. Liverpool successfully banished the painful memories of their 6-1 annihilation in the hands of Stoke last season as they managed a one-nil away victory at Britannia.
Wayne Ronney secured the lone strike that earned Manchester United maximum points in a pulsating encounter against Tottenham Hotspur. Premier league champions; Chelsea, were held to a two-all draw by visiting Swansea at Stamford bridge.
Nigeria’s Odion Ighalo was on the score sheet for Watford in a two-goal apiece against Everton at Goodison Park. Southampton earned a well-deserved draw after Shane Long’s late goal left both sides settling for a two-goal apiece against Newcastle.

As it stands, Manchester city, Leicester city, Crystal Palace and West Ham leads the log while Norwich, Arsenal and West Brom rocks the bottom of the table.
