Round-up:

In the early kick-off, West Bromwich Albion beat Arsenal 3-1 to increase the pressure on Arsene Wenger to step down at the end of the season as manager. Craig Dawson gave the hosts an 11th-minute lead with a header from a corner kick. The lead lasted just 3 minutes, as Alexis Sanchez equalised after the West Brom defense fell asleep. Hal Rosbon-Kanu made an immediate impact off the bench to restore the hosts' lead, and then Craig Dawson once again scored with his head from a corner kick in the 75th minute to wrap up the win, which is highly disappointing from Arsenal's point of view.

Crystal Palace made it 3 wins on the spin, beating Watford 1-0 thanks to an own goal by Troy Deeney. Everton made it 6 consecutive wins at home, after winning 4-0 against Hull, who had Tom Huddlestone sent off. The goals came from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Enner Valencia and a Romelu Lukaku brace late on, who seemignly cannot stop scoring. Chelsea won yet again, thanks to a late goal by Gary Cahill, after Willian's goal was cancelled out through a Jon Walters penalty. Sunderland and Burnley could not be separated in a goalless draw, which means that Burnley are still winless on the road in 15 matches, and it was only the 3rd point the team have earned on their travels. Champions Leicester earned their first win of the season away from home, and also made it 3 wins on the spin, after beating West Ham United at the Olympic Stadium thanks to goals from Riyad Mahrez, Robert Huth, and Jamie Vardy, with Manuel Lanzini and Andre Ayew scoring for West Ham.

AFC Bournemouth made it back-to-back wins at the Vitality Stadium, after beating Swansea City 2-0 thanks to an own goal from Alfie Mawson, and a goal from Benik Afobe.
