BPL Sunday Review
Chelsea, Tottenham and Burnley emerged victorious against Fulham, West Ham and Everton respectively.
Chelsea climbed to second place in the Barclays Premier League as they preserved their 100% start to the season with an easy 2-0 win over Fulham in the south-west London derby at Craven Cottage.
Goals in each half from Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka settled the contest in Chelsea's favour.
Fulham 0-2 Chelsea
The Blues have made a fabulous start to the season under new coach Carlo Ancelotti and the scoreline could have much higher had visitors taken their many chances.
Tottenham maintained their 100% start to the season after West Ham gifted them Jermain Defoe's equaliser and Aaron Lennon's winner at Upton Park in a 2-1 win.
West Ham 1-2 Tottenham
The Hammers were leading through Carlton Cole's spectacular volley but the England striker's backpass then set up Defoe to level against his former club.
Another mistake led to Lennon's winner, with Jonathan Spector slipping at the vital moment and the winger taking full advantage to rifle into the bottom corner.
Burnley proved their midweek victory over Manchester United was no fluke as they beat Everton at Turf Moor for back-to-back 1-0 home wins.
Burnley 1-0 Everton
Wade Elliott's 34th-minute strike gave the Clarets their second top-five scalp inside four days.
Everton striker Louis Saha even missed a controversial second-half penalty which had been awarded after Tony Hibbert went down in the area.
