Swansea settle for a draw

West Ham trounce Fulham; Everton suffer defeat

Spanish striker Michu hit his fourth goal in three league games but Swansea City missed the chance to top the fledgling Premier League standings after the Welsh side were held 2-2 at home by Sunderland on Saturday. 

Everton also lost their perfect record after goals from Shane Long and Gareth McAuley secured a 2-0 victory for West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns. 

Chelsea, who are not in league action this weekend, have a maximum nine points, followed by Swansea and West Brom on seven. 

New Tottenham Hotspur signing Moussa Dembele came off the bench to score on his debut but coach Andre Villas-Boas was left waiting for his first win in charge after Robert Snodgrass scored five minutes from time to earn Norwich City a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane. 

Wigan Athletic twice led at home to Stoke City but had to settle for a 2-2 draw.  

Carroll shines 

England striker Andy Carroll made an immediate impact for new club West Ham United in a 3-0 demolition of Fulham on Saturday, showing he could prosper in the capital after an ineffective spell with Liverpool.   The burly frontman, who joined on a season-long loan on Thursday, played a part in West Ham's opening goal and caused the west London side plenty of problems before he was substituted in the second half with a tight hamstring.
 Fitting in immediately with West Ham's direct approach, Carroll flicked a long ball on to Ricardo Vaz Te who in turn found Kevin Nolan to score after just 53 seconds. West Ham cruised to victory after New Zealand international defender Winston Reid and Matt Taylor added further first-half goals. 

England will hope Carroll makes a quick recovery with 2014 World Cup qualifiers looming away against Moldova on Friday and at home to Ukraine four days later.  Fulham introduced new signing Dimitar Berbatov for the second half and the Bulgarian striker, who moved on transfer deadline day on Friday from Manchester United, made a lively start although his new side finished well beaten.
