Jose Mourinho began life as Tottenham manager with a 3-2 victory at West Ham - their first away win in 10 months - on a Saturday when the Premier League's pacesetters Liverpool and Leicester City also took three points.
VAR had a say in Liverpool's 2-1 win at Crystal Palace and Leicester City's 2-0 triumph at Brighton & Hove Albion. In the late game, champions Manchester City came from behind to beat Chelsea.
With Norwich City, Burnley and Wolverhampton Wanderers also winning away, Southampton were the only travelling side not to claim three points in the 3pm games, although they were only denied by a 96th-minute Arsenal equaliser by Alexandre Lacazette in a 2-2 draw.
That result will pile more pressure on manager Unai Emery, particularly after Mourinho's winning start at rivals Spurs.
Marco Silva will also be feeling the pressure after Everton lost at home to Norwich City, with Leicester, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United all to come next.
