West Bromwich Albion inflicted further misery on Manchester United, winning 2-1 at Old Trafford on Saturday to condemn the champions to their worst start to a Premier League season and leave them in the bottom half of the table after six games.
Morgan Amalfitano and Saido Berahino scored for the visitors either side of a Wayne Rooney leveller to leave United in 11th place in the table a week after they suffered a crushing defeat to local rivals Manchester City.
City also suffered a surprise defeat at Aston Villa, who scored three second-half goals to win 3-2 at Villa Park, leaving Tottenham Hotspur top of the table after a 1-1 draw with Chelsea earlier on Saturday.
John Terry headed a second-half equaliser for Chelsea as the managerial battle between Jose Mourinho and his former apprentice Andre Villas-Boas ended in stalemate.
Southampton's watertight defence held firm as they climbed to fourth with a 2-0 win at home to Crystal Palace, Hull City won 1-0 against West Ham United and Cardiff City won 2-1 away at struggling Fulham.
Aston Villa came from behind to beat Manchester City 3-2 at Villa Park.
Yaya Toure saw a header cleared off the line in the first half, but was not to be denied when he slotted home the opener following a corner just before the break.
Karim El Ahmadi looked just offside when he equalised on 51 minutes, but Edin Dzeko restored City's advantage within five minutes.
Back came Villa as Leandro Bacuna curled home a sweet free-kick and two minutes later, City's defence was nowhere to be seen as Andreas Weimann ran onto Libor Kozak's flick-on and prodded the ball past Joe Hart to secure all three points.
