Bournemouth took out a 7-goal thriller at West Ham to clinch their first win of the season, in a game that saw defender Carl Jenkinson get sent off and young Cherries striker Callum Wilson score a hat-trick.
Wilson put Bournemouth 2-0 ahead after 28 minutes with two first-time strikes, before Mark Noble slotted a penalty and Cheikhou Kouyate finished from close range to level the score.
Marc Pugh put the Cherries back in front with a wonderful curling finish from just inside the box, and Wilson secured his hat-trick when Carl Jenkinson fouled the sprightly Max Gradel in the penalty area – earning himself a red card in the process.
A goal in the 82nd minute from Modibo Maiga ensured the last ten minutes were tense for Bournemouth, but West Ham couldn't find a way through in front of the Upton Park faithful.
In the other games, Manchester United and Newcastle played out a drab 0-0 draw at Old Trafford, while Sunderland recorded their first point of the season in a home game against Swansea City.
Bafetimbi Gomis put Swansea in front with 30 seconds left in the first half with a coolly-taken finish from a Kyle Naughton through-ball, but Jermaine Defoe's clinical shot on the hour saw the points shared at the Stadium of Light.
Meanwhile Crystal Palace defeated Aston Villa 2-1 in a game that only came to life in the final 20 minutes – Bakary Sako scoring late on at Selhurst Park to clinch the win after a Souare own goal.
Tottenham continued their disappointing start to the season as they failed once again to register a win at Leicester, with rising star Riyad Mahrez replying with a fierce strike just 90 seconds after Spurs' Dele Alli opened the scoring in the 81st minute.
Norwich and Stoke also drew, marquee-signing Xherdan Shaqiri providing the assist for Mame Biram Diouf to head in – but Norwich hit back through Russell Martin and saw Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland make some extraordinary saves.
