Premier League leaders Liverpool maintained their 100 per cent start to the season, while champions Manchester City returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion.

There were also surprise defeats for top-six hopefuls Tottenham and Manchester United, and another major setback for under-pressure Everton boss Marco Silva.

Here, the PA news agency picks out some of the main talking points from the latest round of top-flight fixtures.

Manchester City came in for criticism after slipping to a shock defeat at newly-promoted Norwich last weekend. Pep Guardiola’s side responded in emphatic fashion on Saturday by thrashing woeful Watford 8-0. City’s remarkable five goals in the opening 18 minutes is the fastest any side has gone 5-0 ahead in Premier League history. David Silva’s opener after 52 seconds was the quickest top-flight goal this term, while Sergio Aguero claimed his 100th Premier League goal at the Etihad Stadium and Bernardo Silva registered the first hat-trick of his career. Watford, in their second match since the return of manager Quique Sanchez Flores, suffered more humiliation at the hands of the champions after losing 6-0 in May’s FA Cup final.
