Leaders Manchester City turned on the style at the weekend when they hammered Bournemouth in a 5-1 win at the Etihad Stadium.
However, both Manchester United and Arsenal kept themselves in touch with Manuel Pellegrini's men courtesy of away victories at Everton and Watford respectively.
Elsewhere there were wins for Chelsea, West Ham United, West Bromwich Albion, Newcastle United and Stoke City, while the encounter at the St Mary's Stadium ended in a draw.
As for Jurgen Klopp, his first match in charge of Liverpool ended in a 0-0 draw away at Tottenham Hotspur.
Here, Sports Mole looks back over the 10 contests and picks out the most impressive 11 players.
Simon Mignolet (Liverpool)
Sports Mole wrote here that one of Klopp's first tasks on Merseyside would be to identify a new goalkeeper. While that viewpoint has not changed, Mignolet certainly put in an impressive performance to keep his 13th Premier League clean sheet of 2015. The Belgian denied Harry Kane twice, as well as pulling off a decent stop to thwart Spurs substitute Clinton Njie.
Marcos Rojo (Manchester United)
After a passport mishap had prevented Rojo from joining United on their pre-season tour of the USA, the Argentine was reportedly not in Louis van Gaal's good books. However, he may very well have won his manager over with his display at Goodison Park. Playing at left-back, Rojo got forward well - setting up his side's second goal - and also kept Everton winger Aaron Lennon quiet.
Mamadou Sakho (Liverpool)
Rumour has it that the transfer committee overruled Brendan Rodgers when it came to signing Sakho. Rodgers is believed to have wanted Ashley Williams, but the powers that be plumped for the Frenchman, who has looked erratic since his arrival on Merseyside. But, his showing at Spurs was arguably his best in a Liverpool shirt, which included numerous blocks and important challenges.
Chris Smalling (Manchester United)
The likes of Angel di Maria have been critical of Van Gaal's management style at Old Trafford, but whatever your opinion, it has certainly had a positive impact on Smalling. Up against the physical Romelu Lukaku, the England centre-back was more than a match for Everton's Belgian striker. Once a figure of ridicule, Smalling is fast becoming one of the country's best defenders.
Hector Bellerin (Arsenal)
Someone should check Bellerin's date of birth because the Spaniard once again turned in the type of performance that you would expect from a seasoned campaigner and not a 20-year-old. His energy provided the Gunners with a major outlet down the right flank, even in the closing stages when he was able to set up Aaron Ramsey's goal.
Mesut Ozil (Arsenal)
The Germany international may have his critics, but in this sort of form, his ability cannot be questioned. He would surely have opened the scoring at Vicarage Road but for a foul by Nathan Ake - although Alexis Sanchez fired in before the referee could award a penalty. Ozil then went on to assist Olivier Giroud with a neat cutback from the byline.
Ander Herrera (Manchester United)
The Spaniard has never been an automatic starter in Van Gaal's eyes, but this performance against Everton may have convinced the United boss to utilise the 26-year-old's qualities on a more regular basis. The timing of his run to head in United's second goal at Goodison Park was Paul Scholes-esque, while he weighed in after the restart with the assist for Wayne Rooney's goal.
Georginio Wijnaldum (Newcastle United)
The defending from both sides at St James' Park may have left a lot to be desired, but that should take nothing away from Wijnaldum's display. The Dutchman was in scintillating form, scoring four goals, two of which came with his head. Not only that, the midfielder was a real creative force over the course of the 90 minutes.
Raheem Sterling (Manchester City)
There is still work to be done in front of goal as far as the £49m man is concerned, but he certainly showed big signs of improvement against Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium. There was real composure in all three of his goals as the former Liverpool winger stood up in the absence of the injured Sergio Aguero and David Silva.
Jamie Vardy (Leicester City)
Riyad Mahrez shone during the opening few weeks of the season, but there is no doubting who Leicester's main man really is. Once again the Foxes made it hard for themselves, but Vardy got them back into contention at the St Mary's Stadium with a powerful downward header. He then missed a good chance, but recovered to fire in a late equaliser for his ninth goal of the season.
Wilfried Bony (Manchester City)
With Aguero out through injury, Bony needed to show that he was capable of filling the Argentine's big boots. Granted Bournemouth were way out of their depth, but City's Ivorian will have still gained plenty of confidence from this encounter. He scored twice and showed signs that he could forge a decent partnership with hat-trick hero Sterling.
Numpty of the week
Brad Guzan and Joleon Lescott: When you travel to a side like Chelsea, the last thing that you want to do is give them goals. That probably would have been one of the last things that Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood said before his players headed out at Stamford Bridge.
If he did, goalkeeper Guzan certainly paid no attention. Not for the first time this season he played a teammate into trouble with a quickly taken kick. It was clear that Lescott didn't want the ball, highlighted by the fact that it squirmed under his foot. An alert Willian capitalised as he sprinted unopposed into the Villa area, before squaring for Diego Costa to open the scoring from close range. Up until that point, the visitors were holding their own.
Goal of the week
Raheem Sterling - (Manchester City) vs. Bournemouth: Eddie Howe may have been disappointed with the defending for Sterling's second goal, but from the 20-year-old's point of view, it showed marked improvement in his game.
His pace took him into the Bournemouth box and then instead of rushing his shot like he has done in the past, he beat three visiting defenders before slotting the ball into the bottom corner of Adam Federici's net. The pass from Kevin De Bruyne to release Sterling in the first place also deserves a mention.
