Arsenal clocked up a record-equalling unbeaten start to the season on Saturday with a nervy 2-1 win over Bolton Wanderers that kept them nine points clear at the top of the Premier League. Goals from Robert Pires and Dennis Bergkamp ensured Arsenal matched the feat of Leeds United in 1973-74 and Liverpool in 1987-88 of going 29 top-flight league matches without defeat from the start of a season.

Chelsea beat Fulham 2-1 and Manchester United trounced Tottenham Hotspur 3-0. In other matches, Liverpool beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0, Everton drew 1-1 with Leicester City and Middlesbrough won 5-3 against Birmingham City.
