( CNN ) -- Chelsea have maintained their 100 percent record in the English Premier League with a comfortable victory over Stoke City . After scoring 12 goals in their opening two English Premier League fixtures , Chelsea had to settle for just two at Stamford Bridge on Saturday . Goals in either half from Florent Malouda and Didier Drogba -- the Ivorian 's fourth goal this season came from the penalty spot -- was enough to see off Stoke City and gives the English champions a two point lead at the top of the table after only three games . Having secured their passage to the Champions League group stages in midweek , Tottenham returned to Earth with a bump against Wigan losing 0-1 at White Hart Lane . It was a far cry from last season when Harry Redknapp 's side thrashed Wigan 9-1 in the corresponding fixture . A late goal from Hugo Rodallega secured Wigan 's first points of the season , and will surely lift some of the early season gloom engulfing Roberto Martinez 's men who shipped 10 goals without reply in their opening two matches . Andrey Arshavin scored Arsenal 's winner as they overcame Blackburn Rovers 1-2 at Ewood Park . Theo Walcott gave The Gunners the lead after 20 minutes shooting past former England goalkeeper , Paul Robinson . But Blackburn equalized seven minutes later when striker Mame Biram Diouf slotted home from close range . Despite having most of the possession , Arsenal found another goal hard to come by . But a typically robust Blackburn side were undone when Arshavin 's low shot found a route to goal through a crowd of Blackburn shirts , to seal the three points . The victory lifts Arsenal to 2nd in the table . Manchester United cruised to a 3-0 victory over West Ham at Old Trafford . Wayne Rooney opened the scoring after 33 minutes -- and his account for the season -- when he converted from the penalty spot after Ryan Giggs had been fouled by West Ham 's Jonathan Spector . Nani and Dimitar Berbatov added two more goals in the second half . The result lifts Alex Ferguson 's team to third in the table , level on points with Arsenal . Meanwhile , West Ham remain at the bottom of the table without a win to their name and a goal difference of minus eight . Ian Holloway 's Blackpool side were moments away from their first home win of the season against Fulham only to be denied by a late equalizer from Dickson Etuhu . Striker Bobby Zamora gave Mark Hughes ' side the lead after 35 minutes , but Blackpool struck back with two goals in five minutes midway through the second half courtesy of an own goal from John Pantsil , followed by a low drive from Blackpool 's on-loan striker Luke Varney . The result means Blackpool remain one point and one place ahead of Fulham in the table in 10th spot . Wolves and Newcastle drew 1-1 in a tight game at Molineux . Sylvain Ebanks-Blake gave the home side the lead shortly before half time . But in-form striker Andy Carroll equalized for Newcastle after 62 minutes when he headed home a Joey Barton free-kick . The draw keeps Wolves ( five points ) a point ahead of Newcastle in the table . Sunday 's fixtures see Liverpool take on West Brom , Manchester City travel to Sunderland , Aston Villa host Everton , while Bolton and Birmingham face each other at the Reebok Stadium .
