Leicester City sit atop the standings as Swansea sink Newcastle
Foxes bring West Ham back to earth in 2-1 win, bumping United off the top of the table, while Spurs squander 2-0 lead to end with draw against Stoke
Leicester City brought West Ham United crashing to earth and returned to the top of the fledgling Premier League standings with a 2-1 win at Upton Park yesterday.
West Ham opened their campaign by winning 2-0 at Arsenal, but were 2-0 down by half-time as Japan's Shinji Okazaki headed in his first goal in English football and Riyad Mahrez scored his third goal in two games.
New signing Dimitri Payet replied for West Ham, but it was not enough to prevent Claudio Ranieri's Foxes reclaiming first place on goal difference from Manchester United.
We've found it tough to come here in recent years, but I thought the performance today was outstanding in every department
Swansea City also built on an impressive opening performance, following up their battling 2-2 draw at champions Chelsea with a 2-0 win at home to Newcastle United that left Garry Monk's side in fourth place.
A late Stoke City fightback prevented Tottenham Hotspur claiming a first win of the season in a 2-2 draw at White Hart Lane.
Beaten 1-0 by Manchester United on the opening day, Spurs went 2-0 up through an Eric Dier header and a deflected Nacer Chadli volley.
