The Premier League saved the best for last in round three of the new season. All but one of the games had been played over the weekend, with Man United vs Tottenham being the only remaining fixtures.
This is not to say that Saturday and Sunday were boring in the English top-flight, as they were far from it. Man City dropped points at Wolves after a controversial 1-1 draw, Liverpool earned a slim 1-0 victory over Brighton, and Unai Emery earned his first three points courtesy of a 3-1 triumph over West Ham.
All eyes will now be on the Old Trafford tie. Ahead of that game, here are the standout stats from the wrapped up fixtures.
Hazard leapfrogs Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink
In the 2-1 win over Newcastle, Eden Hazard scored his first goal for Chelsea in the new season. This strike, his 70th in the English top-flight, saw him over Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (69) as the Blues' third-highest Premier League goalscorer in history.
Only Frank Lampard (147) and Didier Drogba (104) sit above him. Regardless, the Belgian is trailing in the goalscoring chart this season.

Will Man United end their 22-game unbeaten run?
Man United has not lost at any of their last 22 home games against London clubs. Tottenham, the last team from the English capital to win at Old Trafford, will try to put that unbeaten run to an end on Monday. Should they accomplish that, Mourinho's men will slip further behind in the title race.
