Manchester City's Raheem Sterling rounds goalkeeper Adrian of West Ham United to score his second goal.

It now sits in first place on goal difference. Pep
Guardiola's men were two up at half time through goals from Raheem
Sterling and Fernandihno but Sterling added one more to the tally in
stoppage time at the end of the game.
The Hammers managed to pull one back shortly after half time with a headed goal from Michail Antonio.

Chelsea also ran in easy winners against Burnley Saturday with three goals from Eden Hazard, Willian and Victor Moses. Manchester
United left it very late in their game against Hull, scoring in
stoppage time, but a 1-0 win against the Tigers means that the Red
Devils also have three points from three games.
Both Chelsea and Manchester United have
new managers this season and early results already show that the EPL
could turn into a clash of coaching giants, pitching Antonio Conte at
Chelsea with the club's former manager Jose Mourinho who is now at Man
United.
United's neighbors and
biggest rivals, Manchester City, acquired former Bayern and Barcelona
boss Pep Guardiola at the start of the season and three wins from three
reminds the Premiership heavyweights that he looks like bringing his
impressive record to the league.
Tottenham and Liverpool have both made slow starts to the season and neither side could prevail, playing out a 1-1 draw.
The game may also have been a concern
for the new England coach Sam Allardyce who was due to name his first
squad Sunday. Spurs striker Harry Kane who enjoyed a magnificent season
last year looked lackluster in the Euro competition in the summer during
England's woeful display and again failed to impress against Liverpool.
He was substituted towards the end of the match. Last
season's surprise champions Leicester City secured the first win of the
new campaign with a 2-1 victory over Swansea and the first goal for
Jamie Vardy.
The striker scored 24 goals for the Foxes last season and
was only pipped to the top scorer crown by England team mate Harry Kane.
Elsewhere
in the league, Everton has started well and notched up a 1-0 home win
over Stoke. Arsenal bounced back from two poor results to beat Watford
3-1 away from home and there were 1-1 draws in the games between Crystal
Palace and Bournemouth, and Southampton versus Sunderland.
West
Bromwich Albion played out a dull 0-0 draw against Premiership new boys
Middlesbrough Sunday though both teams sit comfortably mid-table after
just three games.
