Manchester City ensured that Liverpool’s lead at the top of the Premier League would stay at five points after running out 3-1 winners at Everton.
The Toffees gave the champions a real game particularly after Dominic Calvert-Lewin replied to Gabriel Jesus’ opener.
But second-half strikes from Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling ensured the three points went to the visitors.
Earlier, Liverpool continued their perfect start to the league season after beating Sheffield United 1-0 at Bramall Lane.
The winning goal was scored by Georginio Wijnaldum, whose tame volley somehow managed slipped under Blades keeper Dean Henderson.
Tottenham and Chelsea both returned to winning ways in the Premier League with home wins over Southampton and Brighton respectively.
A chaotic first-half at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium saw Spurs take the lead through Tanguy Ndombele before things suddenly took a turn for the worse.
Right-back Serge Aurier was sent off for a second bookable offence and a moment of madness from goalkeeper Hugo Lloris allowed Danny Ings to equalise for the visitors.
But Tottenham’s talisman Harry Kane was on hand to spare his team-mate’s blushes, and his 43rd-minute goal was enough to grind out a much-needed victory.
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard would’ve also been desperate for a win, having failed to claim three points from any of his opening three league games at home.
His side’s relentless pressure finally paid off when Mason Mount was brought down inside the box, with Jorginho converting the second-half penalty.
