Fans of thrilling, close encounters were left in the cold on Saturday, as every single Premier League fixture turned into a one-sided affair, with two goals being the smallest margin of victory.

Kelechi Iheanacho and Kevin De Bruyne continued their fine form in City's 4-0 win over Bournemouth, with Raheem Sterling and Ilkay Gundogan also scoring, and the result means manager Pep Guardiola has now guided the team to eight straight wins since taking over from Manuel Pellegrini.

De Bruyne summarised their performance like this:

Nolito did run into a red card, the only stain on what was a fine showing.

Arsenal had a little more difficulty with Hull, who dominated the early part of their match until Alexis Sanchez gave his team the lead. The Chilean missed a penalty just before half-time, with Jake Livermore seeing a red card, but he added a second goal after the break.

Theo Walcott and Granit Xhaka also got on the scoresheet, while Robert Snodgrass converted a penalty for the hosts.

Per the club's official Twitter account, the visiting fans were quite happy:

The same didn't hold true for the West Ham fans making the trip to the West Midlands, as West Brom scored three first-half goals on their way to a shocking 4-2 win.

The Baggies are known more for their defensive resiliency than scoring prowess, and the half-time score had plenty of fans and pundits shaking their heads. Copa90 was among them:

Nacer Chadli added a second goal to his tally after the break, and while the Hammers hit back through Michail Antonio and Manuel Lanzini, they couldn't avoid yet another defeat.

With just one win in five contests and defeat in the UEFA Europa League qualifiers, West Ham's form has been embarrassing, to say the least. Bleacher Report UK put it this way:

Islam Slimani scored a brace in Leicester's 3-0 win over Burnley, a result that sees the defending champions move up to ninth place. The Foxes haven't enjoyed a great start to the season, but their big win over Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League appears to have given them a much-needed boost.

Gareth Barry scored on his 600th Premier League appearance, with Romelu Lukaku and Seamus Coleman also finding the net in Everton's 3-1 win. The visitors had taken the lead through a Maarten Stekelenburg own goal, but the Toffees quickly turned things around to continue their fine start to the season.
