EPL Table: 2016 Standings After Saturday's Week 4 Results and Top Scorers

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's quest for the 2016-17 Premier League Golden Boot advanced on Saturday after he scored in the Manchester derby, but his strike wasn't enough to prevent Manchester United suffering a 2-1 defeat to Manchester City.

City manager Pep Guardiola watched as his side pulled off a masterful victory over their local rivals to extend their winning start to the campaign and clinch a temporary three-point cushion at the top of the standings.

In the evening fixture, a brace of goals from Roberto Firmino along with strikes from Sadio Mane and Adam Lallana saw Liverpool to a 4-1 win over reigning champions Leicester City, with Jamie Vardy scoring the Foxes' only consolation.

Elsewhere, Arsenal pounced in injury time to collect a 2-1 win against Southampton, while north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur clinched a much more expansive 4-0 demolition of Stoke City at the Bet365 Stadium.

Crystal Palace also jumped on the London win wagon with their 2-1 defeat of Middlesbrough thanks to a maiden club goal from Christian Benteke, but West Ham United couldn't follow suit, surrendering a 2-0 lead over Watford to lose 4-2.

Mourinho and Guardiola's Manchester Legacy

After months spent in agonising wait, Premier League audiences were finally treated to their first showdown between the managerial duo of Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola—and the fixture didn't disappoint.

Kevin De Bruyne enjoyed a man-of-the-match performance as he bagged the opener, before Kelechi Iheanacho collected what would go on to be the winner, leaving travelling fans in fine voice, per NBC's Joe Prince-Wright:

Ibrahimovic scored his fourth goal in four Premier League games for United and halved the deficit right before the break, but it wasn't enough to stop the Red Devils suffering their first loss of the campaign.

It was a fiery encounter from start to finish, precisely the tempo one would like to expect from a Manchester derby, and not every player came away from the fray unscathed, via TalkSport:

Guardiola came out on top of this occasion, but former El Clasico rival Mourinho will be hoping to return to the Etihad Stadium in February to secure his redemption.

Uncertain performances from the likes of Paul Pogba and Daley Blind saw United stutter in front of their home fans, particularly in the first half, while the absence of Sergio Aguero didn't stop City's progress.

All three London clubs playing away from home found success on Saturday, as Tottenham, Watford and Palace saw off respective opponents Stoke, West Ham and Middlesbrough with varying ease.

It's taken four games of the 2016-17 campaign, but Spurs were also particularly pleased to see last season's Golden Boot-winner, Harry Kane, finally bag his first of the season, and a landmark strike to boot:

He was joined on the scoresheet by Dele Alli and Heung-Min Son, the latter of whom rewarded manager Mauricio Pochettino for his show of faith with a brace of goals at the Bet365 Stadium.

Meanwhile, Walter Mazzarri's Watford side persevered to snatch a 4-2 win from their trip to the London Stadium, and Squawka detailed precisely how the shift of the fixture weighed back in their favour:

Michail Antonio notched a brace of goals, but the Hammers let their foot off the gas as Odion Ighalo, Troy Deeney, Etienne Capoue and Jose Holebas all bagged to secure the Hornets a valuable win.

Benteke opened the scoring for the Eagles before Wilfried Zaha turned from provider into scorer himself, meaning Daniel Ayala's initial equaliser from Boro counted for little in the end.
