Chelsea replaced Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table after the previous leaders slipped to a first defeat of the season against Southampton to leave Everton as the only unbeaten team in the division after a dramatic win at West Ham United.
Stephane Sessegnon scored against his former club as
West Brom secured a first win of the season after beating struggling
Sunderland 3-0 at The Hawthorns.
Perhaps predictably, Sessegnon put West Brom in front on 20 minutes when he converted the rebound from around 10 yards out after Keiren Westwood parried Scott Sinclair's shot from Morgan Amalfitano's cross.
Sunderland suffered a major blow when, having used all their substitutes, striker Steven Fletcher was forced off through injury and soon after Westwood pushed the ball out and Liam Ridgewell was on hand to fire home in the 76th minute.
Having created two goals, Amalfitano got on the score-sheet himself in added time as he was played in on the right of the area and he lashed a low shot across Westwood.
Excellent Aluko
Hull City twice came from behind before snatching a 3-2 victory over
Newcastle at St James' Park to provide manager Steve Bruce with a satisfying trip back to the north east.
Newcastle were in front on 10 minutes when Moussa Sissoko ran with the ball from just inside his own half before crossing to the far post to Papiss Cisse, whose mis-hit volley was headed in by Loic Remy for his first goal since his loan move from Queens Park Rangers.
Hull were level on 26 minutes when the visitors worked the ball from right to left and Robbie Brady was found in space on the edge of the area to drill a low shot past Tim Krul.
But Newcastle were back in front a minute before half-time when Yohan Cabaye's shot was blocked by a Hull defender straight to Remy and he finished confidently first time beyond Allan McGregor.
Slack defending again allowed Hull to equalise for a second time three minutes after the break when no-one tracked Ahmed Elmohamady's run to the near post and his header from Brady's free-kick bounced in off the far upright.
The Tigers took the lead for the first time on 76 minutes when George Boyd pulled the ball back from the by-line and Aluko's excellent first-time volley flew in off the post.
Libor Kozak's first goal for
Aston Villa secured a 1-0 win at Carrow Road after
Norwich City winger Robert Snodgrass saw an early penalty saved by Brad Guzan.
In a fast start to the game, Andreas Weimann hit the post for Villa before Guzan kept out Snodgrass' spot-kick on five minutes after Ciaran Clark had been harshly penalised for handball.
The decisive goal arrived on the half-hour from Kozak, who scored at the second attempt after his initial shot had been parried by John Ruddy just moments after the Czech striker had replaced the injured Christian Benteke.
