Hull City 1-0 Bolton Wanderers

Hull City secured their first three points of the season with a narrow win over Bolton Wanderers at the KC Stadium. Kamel Ghilas combined with fellow new signing Jozy Altidore as Hull finally got back to winning ways at the expense of Bolton. Ghilas fired the decisive goal of a scrappy Barclays Premier League encounter after being set up by Altidore's first touch with 61 minutes gone. Until then Hull had been second best to Bolton, who missed clear-cut chances through Johan Elmander and Kevin Davies.

Arsenal 4-1 Portsmouth

Abou Diaby netted a brace as Arsenal continued their excellent start to the season with a win over Portsmouth. Arsenal enjoyed a comfortable win against Pompey at the Emirates Stadium to continue their impressive start to the new Barclays Premier League season. Diaby set them on their way with two first-half goals in the space of three minutes. Younes Kaboul pulled one back before the break - but William Gallas and substitute Aaron Ramsey ensured a comfortable finish as the Gunners maintained their 100 per cent Barclays Premier League record.

Birmingham City 0-0 Stoke City

The spoils were shared at St Andrews as Birmingham City and Stoke City drew in the Barclays Premier League. Stoke goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen produced a superb second-half save to deny Birmingham their second home Barclays Premier League win in the space of 72 hours. The former Denmark international kept out a bullet-like header from Blues striker Garry O'Connor at full stretch from a Sebastian Larsson free-kick. It was one of the few moments of excitement but both sides will probably be satisfied with a return of four points from their opening three matches of the campaign.
