Chelsea ended a run of four winless games to beat Fulham 2-0 and move to the top of the Premier League on Saturday, after Southampton stunned previous leaders Liverpool.
Oscar scrambled home from close range in the 52nd minute after Fulham goalkeeper David Stockdale parried from Andre Schurrle and Samuel Eto'o.
John Mikel Obi made it 2-0 in the 84th minute, converting a John Terry knock-down from close range to end his 185-game wait for a first league goal.

Liverpool saw their early-season momentum fade yet further in a surprise 1-0 loss at home to Southampton.
Saint Dejan Lovren broke the deadlock in the 53rd minute with a back-post header from a left-wing corner.
Only a fine triple save from Simon Mignolet prevented Southampton from adding to their lead, but Lovren's goal proved enough to inflict a first league defeat on Liverpool since a 3-1 loss to the same side last March.

Everton moved to within a point of top spot after Romelu Lukaku scored on his debut to snatch a 3-2 win at West Ham United and help preserve the last unbeaten record in the division.
West Ham twice took the lead, via a deflected shot from Ravel Morrison and a Mark Noble penalty, only for Leighton Baines to level on each occasion with a pair of sensational free-kicks from 25 yards.
Noble was then sent off for a rash foul on Ross Barkley before Lukaku bravely headed home an 85th-minute winner in his first game since signing on loan from Chelsea.

Another on-loan striker, Loic Remy, scored twice on his first home start for Newcastle United, but still finished on the losing side in a 3-2 defeat by Hull City.
The Frenchman twice put Newcastle ahead, but Hull hit back through goals from Robbie Brady and Ahmed Elmohamady before Sone Aluko settled matters with a sumptuous left-foot volley in the 76th minute.
>>>
Stephane Sessegnon came back to haunt his former club Sunderland by opening the scoring in a 3-0 win on his debut for new side West Bromwich Albion.
Goals from Liam Ridgewell and Morgan Amalfitano completed victory to leave Sunderland rooted to the foot of the table, and visiting manager Paolo Di Canio's misery was compounded when striker Steven Fletcher went off with a suspected dislocated shoulder.
>>>
Earlier, new Aston Villa signing Libor Kozak scored two minutes after coming on for injured team-mate Christian Benteke to give his side a 1-0 win at Norwich City.

Manchester United visit Manchester City on Sunday in the season's first Manchester derby, while third-place Arsenal host Stoke City and fourth-place Tottenham Hotspur are at Cardiff City.
