LONDON: Chelsea reclaimed pole position in the English Premier League's title battle after Arsenal slumped to a shock home defeat by top flight newcomers Hull.
Chelsea's 2-0 win at Stoke left them top on goal difference from Liverpool, whose 2-0 derby win over Everton means they have matched the Londoners' return of four wins and two draws from their opening six league games.
Champions Manchester United climbed into the top half of the table for the first time this season with a 2-0 win at home to Bolton in which Cristiano Ronaldo opened his league account for the season with a controversial penalty.
