Goals: Brentford - Wissa (27', 58'), Damsgaard (50'); Bournemouth - Evanilson (17'), Kluivert (49')

Two goals from Yoane Wissa helped Brentford turn the tables against Bournemouth and earn a thrilling 3-2 win at the Gtech Community Stadium.

A dreadful mistake at the back from Sepp van den Berg allowed Evanilson to round Mark Flekken and open the scoring for Andoni Iroala's Cherries, but they weren't behind for long as Wissa headed home at the back post.

Bournemouth regained the advantage four minutes into the second half, courtesy of Justin Kluivert, but they had barely caught their breath before Danish midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard drew Thomas Frank's side level again.

Wissa's seventh goal of the season eight minutes later turned out to be the winner, hoisting Brentford into the top half of the Premier League table and above their dogged opponents.

Fulham's superb start to the Premier League season continued with a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Goals from Emile Smith Rowe and substitute Harry Wilson lifts the Cottagers up into the Premier League's top six and was just reward for another fine performance on the road.

Smith Rowe's goal came courtesy of an error from new Palace centre-back Maxence Lacroix, but the former Arsenal playmaker still had plenty to do as he fired a left-footed strike past the helpless Dean Henderson.

A second goal for Smith Rowe was chalked off by VAR but substitute Wilson snatched his third goal of the week after climbing off the bench, putting the game to bed for a jubilant Marco Silva.

The home side had Daichi Kamada sent off with just over 15 minutes to go and in truth could have lost by more - Wilson also having a second goal of the afternoon ruled out for offside.

Goals: None

West Ham United and Everton played out a goalless draw at London Stadium, increasing the pressure on home manager Julen Lopetegui.

The Hammers have been uninspiring for most of the campaign, despite spending a considerable amount of money on new signings, and there wasn't much to shout about once more as they struggled to create clear-cut openings against the Toffees.

Jordan Pickford did make a terrific save from West Ham substitute Danny Ings in stoppage time, preserving a point for the visitors, but Everton were largely the better side in a game that failed to inspire.

Indeed, Everton's profligacy in front of goal was their undoing, leaving both teams to wonder what might have been as the international break approaches.

Wolves 2-0 Southampton

Goals: Wolves - Sarabia (2'), Cunha (53')

Wolverhampton Wanderers picked up their first Premier League win of the season with a vital 2-0 win over fellow strugglers Southampton.

Gary O'Neil's side were glued to the bottom of the table as the day got underway having failed to win in their opening 10 games of the campaign.

But any Molineux nerves were quickly settled by Pablo Sarabia's early goal – the Spaniard rounding Aaron Ramsdale in Southampton's goal to give Wolves the lead with less than two minutes on the clock.

Matheus Cunha's brilliant goal took the wind out of Southampton's sails early in the second half, sealing a crucial victory for Wolves while transferring the pressure onto opposition manager Russell Martin - his Saints side now prop up the table after suffering their ninth defeat in 11 games.
