United bounce back to smash Wigan

Man Utd certainly made amends for their slip up at Burnley the other night by thrashing Wigan Athletic 5-0 at the DW Stadium.

Wayne Rooney started the ball rolling early into the second half, and that's when the goals started to fly in, as Dimitar Berbatov then quickly added a second, Rooney then put the Reds three up with a shot that deflected off Mario Melchiot.

Michael Owen got off the mark with number four, and then in stoppage time Nani curled in a free kick to complete the rout.

Arsenal also continued their free scoring start to the season, with a 4-1 thrashing of bottom of the table Portsmouth. Abou Diaby scored the opening two goals, before Younes Kaboul pulled one back for Pompey.

William Gallas scored for the third consecutive game to put the Gunners 3-1 up, and Aaron Ramsey completed the scoring to hand Arsenal an emphatic victory to send them top of the Premier League.

Emmanuel Adebayor scored the winner for Man City as they maintained their 100% record to the season by beating Wolves, and Hull City got themselves a win after Kamel Ghilas' goal was enough to see off Bolton.

Kenwyn Jones was the hero for the Black Cats as Sunderland came from behind to defeat Blackburn at the Stadium of Light. Gael Givet had given Rovers the lead, but a double from Jones ensured the points went to the home side.

Finally yesterday, a blank at St Andrews as Birmingham drew 0-0 with Stoke.

Today, Tottenham will aim to climb back to the top of the Premier League as they take on West Ham at Upton Park, whilst Chelsea will be expected to take the points at Fulham, and Everton will look to get their first victory of the season at Burnley.
