Manchester United surrendered their 100 per cent record in a lively 2-2 Premier League draw at Stoke City after Pep Guardiola's City had trounced 10-man Liverpool 5-0 to replace their neighbours at the top for a few hours.

Stoke took the lead just before halftime through Cameroon international Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, then conceded an equaliser less than three minutes later, as Nemanja Matic flicked on a corner and Paul Pogba's header hit Marcus Rashford and went in.

Romelu Lukaku put them ahead in the 58th minute, only for Choupo-Moting to equalise.

United and Neighbours Manchester City, who earlier trounced Liverpool 5-0 topped the table with 10 points each.

In the day's other major action, Chelsea had a 2-1 win away to Leicester in the meeting of the previous two seasons' champions while Tottenham's Harry Kane reached 100 goals for the club with a freak opening effort in the comfortable 3-0 win at Everton.

Meanwhile, Arsenal, heavily criticised after defeats by Stoke City and Liverpool, were easy winners at home to struggling Bournemouth, prevailing 3-0, promoted Brighton, back in the top tier for the first time since 1983, achieved their first win, by 3-1, at home to West Bromwich Albion and unbeaten Watford moved above Southampton and into the top four by beating them 2-0 with goals by Abdoulaye Doucoure and substitute Daryl Janmaat.
