EPL Results: Saturday's Week 10 Scores, Updated 2015 Premier League Table

Arsenal went top of the Premier League on a day when London rivals Chelsea suffered yet more humiliation, slipping to 15th in the table.

Defending Premier League champions Chelsea suffered their seventh defeat of the season when manager Jose Mourinho, a member of his coaching staff and midfielder Nemanja Matic were all sent off.

The trio of dismissals left the Blues counting the cost of their dire start to the season after West Ham United got a late goal from forgotten man Andy Carroll to win at Upton Park.

Elsewhere, newly promoted Watford scored an impressive away win over a previously buoyant Stoke City. Meanwhile, yet more pressure was heaped on embattled Aston Villa gaffer Tim Sherwood, after his side were beaten at home by Swansea City.

Recap

Mesut Ozil's irrepressible start to this season continued after he set up Olivier Giroud to nod the Gunners in front. The German playmaker's cross into the box was exquisite and demanded an unerring finish.

The assist from Ozil made him the most consistent creator in the Premier League, per Opta Joe:

The same source also revealed how the languid and mercurial schemer has set a new benchmark in England's top flight:

The Gunners appeared to have all three points in the bag after centre-back Laurent Koscielny headed in a rasping free-kick from the foot of cerebral midfield general Santi Cazorla. But Ross Barkley struck back thanks to a shot on the break that deflected off Arsenal central defender Gabriel Paulista.

But Arsene Wenger's team held their nerve after the break. The Gunners are on a terrific run and more than merit top spot.

Chelsea's day in east London was certainly eventful. Mauro Zarate put the Hammers in front before the 20-minute mark. But it was the dismissal of Matic, barely a minute before the half-time whistle, that really sparked things.

The Serb destroyer was booked twice by referee Jonathan Moss. A riled Mourinho attempted to enter the officials dressing room during the break, according to ESPN's Miguel Delaney:

This incident led to Mourinho and coach Silvino Louro being dismissed for the second half, per Sky Sports reporter Gerard Brand.

Yet, Chelsea appeared able to weather the storm after Gary Cahill equalised. But Andy Carroll emerged from the doldrums to be a Hammers hero.

He headed the winner to snap a long scoring-drought in England's top flight, as noted by WhoScored.com:

Carroll's late show continued Chelsea's diabolical form in defence this season, per Squawka:

The Blues are now 10 points off the top ahead of the Manchester derby. Things are already desperate for Mourinho's men.

But he won't be the only manager under pressure. Sherwood knows the feeling after Andre Ayew scored a late winner for Swansea at Villa Park.

The free summer transfer struck the decisive goal with three minutes left. His brother Jordan opened the scoring for hosts Villa. Swansea equalised courtesy of crafty attacking midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson, who pounced just after the hour-mark, before Andre secured the three points.

The result leaves Villa 19th, just one point off the bottom spot. Sherwood is now on the brink.

Villa's struggles are in sharp contrast to the generally solid start made by division new boys Watford. One week after losing at home to Arsenal, the Hornets rebounded in style at the Britannia Stadium.

Goals from Troy Deeney and Almen Abdi sealed the win. The former's goal halted "a run of 857 minutes of top-flight football without a goal," according to Sky Sports.

Deeney expressed his delight, per the Premier League's official Twitter feed:

While there was disappointment for the Potters, ex-Stoke manager Tony Pulis enjoyed a rare away success with West Bromwich Albion. The Baggies won at Norwich City thanks to Salomon Rondon's goal. After a shaky start, West Brom are now eight points above the drop zone.

Leicester City stay level on points with Manchester United at the foot of the top four after in-form Jamie Vardy struck a second-half winner at home to Crystal Palace.

Vardy's now entered the history books for scoring form in England's top flight, according to BBC Sport Twitter:

Arsenal are proving their doubters wrong with their recent run of form. Ozil, Cazorla and Co. are producing some thrilling football going forward. Yet, the style is also being accompanied by a tad more resolve than in recent seasons.

It's a combination that makes Wenger's men a real threat to this season's title.

But it's Chelsea's increasingly controversial fall from grace that really stands out about this Premier League season so far. Mourinho looks more and more cut off from reality. Damage control, not public bickering with the Football Association and rival managers, is where his focus should be.
