November is barely three days in and what a spectacular start in the Premier League with shock and surprises aplenty.
Saturday's early kick off started the shocks with Newcastle winning 2-0 at home to Chelsea who themselves were in great form, the Magpies sealed the win with Remy scoring in the 89th minute after Gouffran had opened their account in the 68th minute to stun the travelling Blues.
Manchester United propelled up the table with a 3-1 win at Fulham and led 3-0 inside 23 minutes after Valencia's opener was added to by Van Persie and Rooney but Fulham clawed one through Kacaniklic just after the hour mark but it was only a consolation.
Hull won a fiery tempered game at home to Sunderland 1-0 thanks to an own goal from Cuellar in the 25th minute and surprisingly failed to capitalise on the fact that Sunderland had to play half of the game with nine men as Cattermole and Dossena were both dismissed in first half injury time.
Manchester City dropped error-strewn Joe Hart in favour of Castel Pantilmon it seemed not to matter as they smashed seven past Norwich and a 7-0 demolition which began with a Johnson own goal in the 16th minute and was swiftly followed by a quick double from Silva and Nastasic, Negredo made it 4-0 at the break and Toure swept in a superb free-kick on the hour for a fifth, Aguero and Dzeko completed the rout.
Stoke and Southampton have both had good defensive records so far this season but no one predicted the opening goal which came after 13 seconds by Asmir Begovic whose wind assisted clearance from 100 yards out bounced in front of the Saints centre backs and flew over the Polish stopper for a famous goal to make him only the fifth goalkeeper to score in the Premier League, the joy was soured by a leveller from Rodriguez who headed over Begovic just before the break and ensured a share of the points.
West Brom secured a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace with a goal just before the break from youth star Saido Berahino and completed the win with a late strike from McAuley while West Ham and Aston Villa drew 0-0.
SNF saw Arsenal and Liverpool face-off with the Gunners going five points clear at the top with a 2-0 win with strikes from Cazorla and Ramsey keeping their unbeaten run intact.
Super Sunday saw Everton and Tottenham draw 0-0 in a very tight game which saw a bad coming together between Lukaku and Lloris which saw both badly injured causing nine minutes of added time but neither side could capitalise and in the first ever PL Welsh derby, Cardiff claimed the bragging rights with a 1-0 win thanks to a Caulker goal with Swansea's mood dampened by the late dismissal of 'keeper Vorm.
So its as you were at the top with Arsenal clear of the chasing pack and Sunderland still at the bottom but with United next for the Gunners their unbeaten run will be put to the test while Liverpool and Chelsea will look to cut the gap.
