Each week the Goals Guide will take a look back at the weekend's action, review all the goals and explain any dubious assists.

Manchester City kept up their 100% start to the season with a fine 4-2 win at home to Arsenal on Saturday.

Micah Richards created the opening goal when his header came back off the post before hitting the unfortunate Manuel Almunia and rebounding back into the net.

As the goal was officially credited as an Almunia own goal, Richards gets the assist for his header against the post.

Robin van Persie superbly levelled matters when he got to Tomas Rosicky's pass ahead of his marker, spun round and fired into the corner of the net.

Craig Bellamy then fired City back in front when he turned Richards' cross over Alumina and into the net.

Ten minutes from time former Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor superbly headed in Shaun Wright-Phillips' cross to give the home side some breathing space, before controversially celebrating in front of the Arsenal fans.

Wright-Phillips sealed the win four minutes later when he was played in by Craig Bellamy and dinked the ball over the advancing Almunia.

There was still time for Arsenal to make the home fans jittery when Cesc Fabregas fed Rosicky who slotted the ball home.

Chelsea remain top of the table thanks to a last-minute winner against Stoke at the Britannia Stadium.

The home side had taken the lead when Abdoulaye Faye found Petr Cech in no man's land enabling him to head in Glenn Whelan's cross with ease.

Didier Drogba then levelled matters, latching onto a slide-rule pass from Frank Lampard and finishing clinically.

It was deep into stoppage time though when Florent Malouda fired in the winner with a first-time effort from Nicolas Anelka's lay-off.

In the match of the weekend it was Manchester United who came out on top over Tottenham as the two in-form sides went head-to-head at White Hart Lane.

It was Spurs who took the lead after just 46 seconds when Nemanja Vidic jumped with Peter Crouch at the far post but only succeeded in finding Jermain Defoe with his clearence and the England striker scored with a spectacular over-head kick.

Ryan Giggs levelled matters with a fine free-kick after 25 minutes before Anderson scored his first goal for the club, latching onto a loose ball following a defensive block.

Wayne Rooney made the points safe for ten-men United when he latched onto Darren Fletcher's through-ball and held off two markers before slotting the ball home.

Yossi Benayoun scored a hat-trick for Liverpool as they beat Burnley 4-0 at Anfield and managed to lay on the opening goal for Dirk Kuyt.

Steven Gerrard was the provider for Benayoun's opening goal, sliding the ball across to give the Israeli a tap-in.

Glen Johnson provided the second, finding Benayoun who side-stepped his marker and fired home.

Johnson was later substituted, before the 75th minute, and so only picked up three points for the match.

Substitute Andrei Voronin's through-ball enabled Benayoun to complete his third Liverpool hat-trick with nine minutes left on the clock.

Sunderland continued their impressive start to the season and Darren Bent kept up his excellent goals record for his new club with a brace in the 4-1 win over Hull.

The former Tottenham man opened the scoring from the penalty spot after Craig Fagan had handled.

As the handball was not on the goal-line and Fagan was not sent off, no assist is given.

Kamil Zayatte levelled matters right on half time when he headed in Kemal Ghilas' cross before Andy Reid latched onto a defensive clearance to restore the lead just after the break.

Anton Ferdinand was the provider Bent's second, sending the striker clear and there was never any doubt about the result.

The fourth Sunderland goal was credited as a Zayatte own goal although former Hull man Michael Turner initially tried to claim it as he got a slight touch to Reid's corner.

Reid's corner glanced off Turner before immediately hitting Zayatte and going in so a double assist was awarded to both Reid and Turner.

Aston Villa earned the bragging rights in the second city derby on Sunday as Gabriel Agbonlahor headed in John Carew's knock-down to seal a 1-0 win.

Fulham and Everton were also in action on Sunday and the home side moved away from the relegation zone with a 2-1 win.

Everton took the lead when Tim Cahill headed in Leighton Baines' free-kick in the first half.

Paul Konchesky fired in the equaliser when he was first to react to a loose ball following a defensive clearance.

Damien Duff sealed the win with his first goal for Fulham when he received the ball from Andy Johnson before driving in-field and firing home.

Bolton also picked up their first win of the campaign over the weekend win a 3-2 win despite being pegged back twice in the match.

Tamir Cohen opened the scoring with a powerful shot after receiving the ball from Gretar Steinsson before Youness Kaboul headed in Jamie O'Hara's corner to level the match.

Matt Taylor restored the lead from the penalty spot after Kevin Davies had been fouled but Kevin-Prince Boateng latched onto a loose ball and fired the home side back level.

Gary Cahill grabbed the winner two minutes from time heading home at the second attempt after Chris Basham had found him with a header of his own.

El-Hadji Diouf took advantage of a defensive error to run clear and open the scoring before Jason Roberts doubled the lead, heading in a Gael Givet corner.

Roberts turned provider as Rovers extended their lead, finding David Dunn who had a close-range tap-in.

Wolves debutant Stefan Maierhofer powered in a late consolation from Matthew Jarvis' cross.

Finally, Hugo Rodallega's tap-in gave Wigan the points over West Ham after Jason Koumas' shot was parried by keeper Robert Green.

Goalkeeper parries do not remove assists and so Koumas gets the two Fantasy League points for his initial effort.
