Queens Park Rangers vs Swansea City

Swansea City midfielder Michu scored a goal in each half on his Premier League debut as the Swans thumped Queens Park Rangers 5-0 at Loftus Road.

The Spaniard scored this season's first goal in the Premier League when his shot crept past goalkeeper Robert Green in the eighth minute before he doubled his tally after the break thanks to Wayne Routledge's inch-perfect ball from the left which he fired into the net.

Nathan Dyer fired the third, again from a Routledge assist, before he beat the offside trap to score Swansea's fourth, with Scott Sinclair's strike rounding off new manager Michael Laudrup's perfect start to the season.

West Bromwich Albion beat 10-man Liverpool 3-0 at the Hawthorns but it could have been more after Shane Long failed to score from the penalty spot.

The Baggies took the lead late in the first half when Zoltan Gera drilled a shot past Pepe Reina after Reds striker Luis Suarez had missed two great chances to give Liverpool the advantage.

Liverpool defender Daniel Agger was shown a red card after he brought down Long in the area after the break but the striker was unable to convert from the spot.

However, Long quickly atoned when he was tripped by Martin Skrtel to claim another penalty, with Peter Odemwingie firing into the bottom left corner, before substitute Romelu Lukaku sealed the win in the 78th minute with a close-range header.

Arsenal dominated Sunderland at the Emirates Stadium but was unable to find the breakthrough as it drew 0-0.

Fulham thumped Norwich City 5-0 at Craven Cottage thanks to a dominant performance and a brace by Mladen Petric.

Republic of Ireland international Damien Duff opened the scoring when he latched on to the end of John Arne Riise's diagonal long ball from the left in the 25th minute before Petric headed the home side's second with five minutes remaining in the first half.

The striker then added his second before Alex Kacaniklic's goal and Steve Sidwell's 87th-minute penalty wrapped up the win.

Stoke City drew with Premier League new boy Reading 1-1 at the Madejski Stadium after it gave away a penalty and was reduced to 10 men in the dying minutes.

Michael Kightly gave Tony Pulis' side the lead from close range, with the ball slipping through Socceroos goalkeeper Adam Federici's hands, much to his embarrassment.

The Royals salvaged a point when Adam Le Fondre equalised from the spot as Dean Whitehead was sent off for his second bookable offence.

Elsewhere, Kevin Nolan's strike gave West Ham United a 1-0 win over Aston Villa in its opening game at Upton Park.

Nolan scored from close range in the 40th minute from Ricardo Vaz Te's assist to edge the Premier League new boy ahead before it had a penalty shout turned down after the break.

Socceroos midfielder Brett Holman played an hour for Villa.

Hatem Ben Arfa stroked home a late winner from the penalty spot as Alan Pardew's Newcastle United rode its luck to get its campaign off to a flying start with a 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

The Frenchman sent Brad Friedel the wrong way in the 80th minute having been hauled down by Rafael van der Vaart, restoring the Magpies' slender advantage after Spurs had pulled back to level four minutes earlier.

A low-key encounter had sprung into life in the 55th minute when Demba Ba fired his first goal since February to put the home side ahead before Jermain Defoe prodded a 76th-minute equaliser at the second attempt.

The late drama proved too much for Pardew, who was sent to the stands by referee Martin Atkinson for a furious response to a touchline incident shortly before Andre Villas-Boas' men had snatched their leveller.
