Anthony Martial scored the only goal at Turf Moor to extend United\u2019s unbeaten run to eight matches.\nThere were no shots on target in the first half, with Ashley Young, back from suspension, curling the best chance wide.
\nNine minutes after the break Romelu Lukaku passed for Martial to smash in off the crossbar and score in three consecutive PL appearances for the first time.
\nAlmost immediately Burnley came close to an equalizer but Johann Berg Gudmundsson\u2019s free-kick hit the woodwork and bounced over.
\nThe Clarets kept pushing in Sean Dyche\u2019s 100th PL match as a manager but, despite a scare from James Tarkowski, United held on for the win.
\nA flying start and Eden Hazard\u2019s double helped Chelsea hold off a battling Brighton & Hove Albion side with a 4-0 victory at Amex Stadium.
\nTwo goals in the opening six minutes set up the win, with Hazard converting a deflected Victor Moses cross before Willian scored from Michy Batshuayi\u2019s flick in a brilliant team move.
\nChelsea goalkeeper Willy Caballero, in for the injured Thibaut Courtois, withstood heavy pressure from Brighton, saving superbly from Tomer Hemed before seeing Davy Propper\u2019s header hit the post.
\nThe visitors capitalized with Hazard\u2019s solo effort and a late fourth for Moses, following substitute Charly Musonda\u2019s lofted pass.
\nA lightning start set Arsenal on the way to a 4-1 win over in-form Crystal Palace at Emirates Stadium.
\nArsenal scored three goals in the opening 13 minutes, the fastest a team have taken a 3-0 lead in a Premier League match since the Gunners did so themselves seven years ago.
\nNacho Monreal netted the first from Granit Xhaka\u2019s corner before the defender produced two assists for Alex Iwobi and Laurent Koscielny.
\nAlexandre Lacazette made it 4-0 on 22 minutes, latching on to Mesut Ozil\u2019s delightful flick for Arsenal\u2019s 500th PL goal scored by a Frenchman.
\nMonreal went off injured before half-time and, after the break, Petr Cech was denied a 200th PL clean sheet when Luka Milivojevic netted a consolation goal.
\nJamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez struck as Leicester City moved up to seventh place with a 2-0 victory over Watford at King Power Stadium.
\nBoth teams had a number of chances in the opening stages as Vardy and Watford\u2019s Abdoulaye Doucoure had efforts well saved.
\nVardy was fouled in the penalty area by Molla Wague and picked himself up to convert the 39th-minute spot-kick.
\nWilfred Ndidi had two efforts blocked in the second half, but Mahrez secured the three points in stoppage time, having been found by Adrien Silva.
\nIt was Mahrez\u2019s fifth goal in as many successive PL matches against the Hornets.
\nTheo Walcott marked his debut with an assist as Everton drew 1-1 with West Bromwich Albion at Goodison Park.
\nJay Rodriguez gave West Brom the lead on seven minutes, latching on to Grzegorz Krychowiak\u2019s through-ball to find the bottom corner.
\nThere was a lengthy delay in the second half due to a suspected double leg fracture suffered by James McCarthy, who left the field on a stretcher.
\nSubstitute Oumar Niasse pounced on Walcott\u2019s cushioned header to level a minute after being introduced.
\nSalomon Rondon almost produced a winner from distance late on but his drive came back off the crossbar.
\nSecond-half goals from Joe Allen and Mame Biram Diouf gave Paul Lambert a 2-0 victory over Huddersfield Town in his first match as Stoke City manager.
\nAfter a goalless opening 45 minutes, Charlie Adam\u2019s floated pass found Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, who cut back for Allen to finish.
\nStoke doubled their lead on 69 minutes, when a sublime flick from Xherdan Shaqiri fell into the path of Diouf, who slotted beyond Jonas Lossl.
\nA first win in five matches moves Stoke out of the bottom three, in 17th place on 23 points. Huddersfield are one point and three places further ahead.
\nSubstitute Chicharito rescued a point for West Ham United as they shared a 1-1 draw with AFC Bournemouth at London Stadium.
\nThe Mexican striker, who replaced the injured Manuel Lanzini, equalized for the Hammers just 64 seconds after they had fallen behind to Ryan Fraser\u2019s strike.
\nAfter a goalless first half, the visitors went ahead when Fraser skipped past Pablo Zabaleta and finished well past Adrian on 71 minutes.
\nThe lively Marko Arnautovic, who had twice come close to scoring, had another shot blocked but this time Chicharito was well placed to follow up.
\nIn\u2008Saturday\u2019s late game, Sergio Aguero marked his 200th Premier League appearance with a hat-trick as Manchester City recorded a 3-1 victory over Newcastle United.
\nCity took the lead on 34 minutes when Aguero flicked on Kevin De Bruyne\u2019s in-swinging cross.
\nKarl Darlow saved superbly from De Bruyne before the interval and touched Raheem Sterling\u2019s shot on to the post.
\nAguero struck again from the penalty spot after Sterling had been felled by Javier Manquillo.
\nJacob Murphy reduced the arrears on the break with a dinked 67th-minute finish.
\nBut Aguero registered his 138th PL goal and his seventh hat-trick in the competition late on after a bamboozling run by Leroy Sane.
\nCity restored their 12-point lead at the top. The Magpies lie 15th. <\/p>\n
