Tottenham surged into a three-goal lead but were left hanging on to beat Wolves3-2 after Argentine debutant Juan Foyth conceded two second-half penalties on his first start in the Premier League.

Erik Lamela burst into the penalty area before rolling his shot under home goalkeeper Rui Patricio to open the scoring.

Tottenham added a second goal three minutes later when Lucas Moura powered in a free header, and the three points seemed assured when Harry Kane scored his eighth goal of the season in the 62nd minute after Rui Patricio saved his initial effort.

Wolves grabbed a lifeline with 22 minutes left. Kieran Trippier lost possession, 20-year-old center back Foyth fouled Raul Jimenez and Ruben Neves buried his penalty.

Jimenez pulled another goal back with another spot kick in the 79th after Foyth brought down defender Jonny, but fourth-place Tottenham defied Wolverhampton's late bid for an equalizer to move within three points of leader Liverpool.

Cardiff 0 - 0 Leicester

Lots of emotion at Cardiff City Stadium as the many Leicester fans remember their owner, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, who tragically died in the helicopter crash a week ago. A tribute banner for him is passed around the ground and the stadium becomes quiet as they observe a minutes silence.

West Ham 0 - 0 Burnley

West Ham have started well against Burnley, running into the visitor's half with ease and creating chances.

Everton 0 - 0 Brighton

Sigurdsson misses an easy chance for Everton, Calvert-Lewin finds him with a cross into the box and Sigurdsson fluffs his chance miss-hitting his strike and sending past goal.

10 mins: West Ham 1 -  0 Burnley - Arnautovic

Tarkowski makes an horrendous error, trying to pass the ball back to his goal keeper but he's put under serious pressure by Arnautovic who wins the ball and is one on one with the keeper before sinking the ball into the back of the net and giving West Ham the lead.
