EPL ROUNDUP

Manchester City snatch 2-2 draw with Arsenal,
Diego Costa's hat-trick secures a 4-2 for Chelsea
and Southampton heap further misery on Newcastle
boss Alan Pardew.
Martin Demichelis headed in a late equaliser to earn
Manchester City a 2-2 draw against Arsenal in the
Barclays Premier League.
Debutant Danny Welbeck almost made a dream start
for his new club but the striker's chipped finish
came back off the post and City made their
opponents pay when Sergio Aguero struck from
close range in the 28th minute.
Jack Wilshere pulled the Gunners level shortly after
the hour, capping a strong run with an excellent
lifted finish, and the hosts looked to have secured all
three points when Alexis Sanchez scored with a
well-placed volley 16 minutes from time.
There was a late twist in the tail, however, as
Demichelis headed home a corner in the 83rd
minute to ensure a pulsating encounter ended all
square.
Diego Costa hit a hat-trick as Chelsea came from
behind to beat Swansea 4-2 and maintain their 100
per cent start to the season.
Swansea took an early lead when John Terry turned

Neil Taylor's cross into his own net but Costa pulled
Jose Mourinho's team level on the stroke of half-
time.
The striker added two more in the second half to
take his tally to seven goals in four matches and
substitute Loic Remy found the net on his Chelsea
debut to put Swansea out of sight.
Jonjo Shelvey reduced the deficit late on but it was
too little too late as Chelsea returned to the top of
the table.
Harry Kane's own-goal eight minutes from time saw
Sunderland salvage a 2-2 draw at home to
Tottenham .
Spurs took the lead in the second minute as
Emmanuel Adebayor's shot was parried and Nacer
Chadli pounced on the rebound but Adam Johnson
equalised almost immediately with a curling effort.
Christian Eriksen restored Tottenham's advantage
early in the second period but the hosts rescued a
point late on when a free-kick diverted off Kane into
the net.
Graziano Pelle bagged two goals as Southampton
recorded a convincing 4-0 win over Newcastle .
Pelle's first-half double put Saints in charge before
Jack Cork made it three after half-time and Morgan
Schneiderlin added a fourth to pile the misery on the
Magpies.
Romelu Lukaku scored against his former club as
Everton claimed their first three points of the
campaign with a comfortable 2-0 victory at West
Brom.
Lukaku found the net within two minutes and Kevin
Mirallas doubled the advantage midway through the
second half.
Leiceste r also registered their first win of the
campaign as a superb second-half goal from
Leonardo Ulloa gave Nigel Pearson's side a 1-0 win
at Stoke.
Crystal Palace had Julian Speroni to thank for a
goalless draw against Burnley as the Eagles
goalkeeper kept out a late Scott Arfield penalty.
Palace defender Scott Dann was denied by the
woodwork in the first half but it was Arfield who had
the best opportunity to win the game, only to see
his spot-kick saved.
