GOAL! Leicester 0 Bournemouth 1 - Junior Stanislas
Well that was quick! Leicester pick up where they left off against Spurs, conceding a very early goal indeed. It's poor defending you have to say, two missed tackles and Stanislas is free at the far post where he slides home.
GOAL! Chelsea 0 Sunderland 1 - Javier Manquillo
Not the start the champions had in mind... Seb Larsson free kick finds its way to Manquillo unmarked who smashes home an early goal.
GOAL! Watford 0 Man City 1 - Vincent Kompany
Bad start for Watford! Kompany unmarked 12 yards out and he heads the ball into the corner of the net. Third place looking likely for City so far.
GOAL! Chelsea 1 Sunderland 1 - Willian
Well that didn't last long for Sunderland! Sunderland can't seem to get the ball out of their own area, Alonso hits the bar and the ball rebounds to Willian who fires in the equaliser.
GOAL! Hull 0 Tottenham 1 - Harry Kane
No doubt now about where the Golden Boot is going, Kane puts Spurs ahead with a left-footed effort from the edge of the area.
GOAL! Hull 0 Tottenham 2 - Harry Kane
He's done it again! Spurs cruising now as Dier plays a superb ball over the top that finds Trippier who squares it for Kane to tap home. Great goal.
GOAL! Man United 1 Crystal Palace 0 - Josh Harrop
Not bad for the youngster on his first start! He makes a run into the box and drives home a great solo goal to give United the lead.
