Photo: ReutersManchester United stayed patient to beat Leicester City 2-0 and move two points clear at the top of the Premier League as Manchester City secured a dramatic late win at Bournemouth on Saturday. Surprise packages Huddersfield Town were held 0-0 by Southampton but stayed unbeaten and Newcastle United earned their first points of the season with a 3-0 victory over West Ham United that left the London side bottom of the table. Newcastle finally got their campaign rolling against a poor West Ham side. West Ham have lost their first three games for the first time since the 2010-2011 season when they were relegated. Champions Chelsea play Everton on Sunday when Liverpool host Arsenal, last season's runners-up Tottenham Hotspur face Burnley and West Bromwich Albion take on Stoke City.
