Diego Costa scored a hat-trick as Chelsea beat Swansea 4-2, while Southampton cruised to a 4-0 win over Newcastle, and Sunderland held Spurs.
Swansea took an early lead at Chelsea when John Terry turned Neil Taylor's cross into his own net but Costa pulled Jose Mourinho's team level on the stroke of half-time.
The striker added two more in the second half to take his tally to seven goals in four matches and substitute Loic Remy found the net on his Chelsea debut to put Swansea out of sight.
Jonjo Shelvey reduced the deficit late on but it was too little too late as Chelsea returned to the top of the table.
Martin Demichelis headed in a late equaliser to earn Manchester City a 2-2 draw against Arsenal.
Debutant Danny Welbeck almost made a dream start for his new club but the striker's chipped finish came back off the post and City made their opponents pay when Sergio Aguero struck from close range in the 28th minute.
Jack Wilshere pulled the Gunners level shortly after the hour, capping a strong run with an excellent lifted finish
The hosts looked to have secured all three points when Alexis Sanchez scored with a well-placed volley 16 minutes from time.
There was a late twist in the tail, however, as Demichelis headed home a corner in the 83rd minute to ensure a pulsating encounter ended all square.
Harry Kane's own-goal eight minutes from time saw Sunderland salvage a 2-2 draw at home to Tottenham.
Spurs took the lead in the second minute as Emmanuel Adebayor's shot was parried and Nacer Chadli pounced on the rebound but Adam Johnson equalised almost immediately with a curling effort.
Christian Eriksen restored Tottenham's advantage early in the second period but the hosts rescued a point late on when a free-kick diverted off Kane into the net.
Graziano Pelle bagged two goals as Southampton recorded a convincing 3-0 win over Newcastle.
Pelle's first-half double put Saints in charge before Jack Cork made it three after half-time and Morgan Schneiderlin added a fourth to pile the misery on the Magpies.
Romelu Lukaku scored against his former club as Everton claimed their first three points of the campaign with a comfortable 2-0 victory at West Brom.
Lukaku found the net within two minutes and Kevin Mirallas doubled the advantage midway through the second half.
Leicester also registered their first win of the campaign as a superb second-half goal from Leonardo Ulloa gave Nigel Pearson's side a 1-0 win at Stoke.
Crystal Palace had Julian Speroni to thank for a goalless draw against Burnley as the Eagles goalkeeper kept out a late Scott Arfield penalty.
Palace defender Scott Dann was denied by the woodwork in the first half but it was Arfield who had the best opportunity to win the game, only to see his spot-kick saved.
Liverpool suffered a shock 1-0 home defeat at the hands of a determined Aston Villa side as Gabriel Agbonlahor scored the only goal at Anfield.
Villa struck in just the ninth minute as Philippe Senderos got in front of Dejan Lovren to meet Ashley Westwood’s corner, with Agbonlahor pouncing in the six-yard box to poke the ball home.
From that point on, Paul Lambert’s men defended in superb fashion with Senderos and Nathan Baker excellent as they repelled everything Liverpool had to throw at them
