Elsewhere, Man United suffered an embarrassing 3-1 loss to West Ham heaped more pressure on Jose Mourinho and his Old Trafford future. Here are the standout stats from Matchweek seven.
Hazard: the definition of a clinical attacker
Eden Hazard scored once again, breaking the deadlock in the 1-1 draw with Liverpool. Not only did that strike keep him in the lead in the Golden Boot race, but it also saw him maintain an impressive conversion rate.

Liverpool's men miss out on Chelsea's record
After winning their first six Premier League games of the season, Liverpool was on the hunt for victory number seven. Unfortunately, Chelsea had other plans, bringing the Reds' perfect start to an end.
It also ended the Merseyside giant's pursuit of the record for most consecutive wins from the start of the season. Chelsea holds that honor with nine victories back in 2005/06.
Stamford Bridge draw means Arsenal steals bragging rights
Klopp's men had been on a six-game winning streak until they turned up at the Bridge. Similarly, Chelsea's run of victories was halted in the previous round. This means the honor of longest active winning streak this season goes to Arsenal.
Following Liverpool's draw with Chelsea, Arsenal now have the longest active winning streak in the Premier League:
