Erling Haaland has scored a hat-trick as Manchester City maintained their perfect Premier League start after beating Fulham 5-1 on Saturday.
Gatekeepers News reports that Son Heung-min of Tottenham similarly netted three goals in their 5-2 victory against Burnley.
Despite manager Pep Guardiola’s absence as he recovers from back surgery in his native Catalonia, the English champions were good enough for the three points without ever hitting top gear.
Haaland, who exploded after the break, became the fastest player to reach 40 Premier League goals, in just 39 appearances, with a cool finish from Phil Foden’s through ball.
He was able to put his missed penalty at Sheffield United last weekend behind him to slot home from the spot.
The Norwegian made it six goals in five games this season by completing his hat-trick in stoppage time.
In a related development, Spurs are currently seated just two points behind City as their sparkling start under Ange Postecoglou continued.
Burnley had taken the lead after just four minutes at Turf Moor through Lyle Foster.
Son, who was moved into a more central role by Postecoglou in place of Richarlison, soon proved his manager had pulled off another masterstroke.
The story was, however, different from Chelsea who had recently spent over £1 billion ($1.3 billion) on new players in just over a year under a consortium fronted by Todd Boehly.
The Blues lost their Saturday match to Nottingham Forest after freshman Anthony Elanga secured the only goal in the game.
Pochettino has won just one of his first four games in charge to leave Chelsea already eight points adrift of City.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth were denied their first win under Andoni Iraola as Bryan Mbuemo snatched a 2-2 draw for Brentford.
On the other hand, Sheffield United and Everton secured their first point of the season splitting points following a 2-2 draw.
