West Brom 0-1 Stoke City
Stoke substitute Ryan Shotton scored a late winner after a defensive mix-up between West Brom's Ben Foster and Gabriel Tamas in a clash at the Hawthorns.
The goal earned unbeaten Stoke their first league win of the campaign, after two draws.
Manchester United shattered Arsenal by slamming eight goals past the shell-shocked Gunners at Old Trafford.
The home side's delirious fans mocked Arsene Wenger with chants of "You're getting sacked in the morning" as Wayne Rooney walked off with the matchball, having scored his 150th Red Devils goal, then adding two more after half-time to complete his hat-trick.
Yet Rooney's efforts did not even account for half of United's staggering tally as they scored eight for the first time since 1999.
Danny Welbeck, Ashley Young, Nani and Park Ji-sung also found the net before Young completed the rout with his second.
It was Arsenal's worst ever defeat against United and the first time they have conceded eight in a league game since 1896.
The result leaves Wenger staring at the biggest crisis of his 15 years at the helm.
