( CNN ) -- Michael Owen scored his first goal for Manchester United , and fellow-striker Wayne Rooney his 100th , as the English Premier League champions returned to winning form with a thumping 5-0 victory at Wigan on Saturday . Michael Owen celebrates his first Manchester United goal as the English champions thumped Wigan 5-0 . Meanwhile , Arsenal top the table on goal difference after making it 10 goals from just two matches with a 4-1 home win over bottom-of-the-table Portsmouth . But all eyes were on United , after their stunning 1-0 midweek defeat at newly-promoted Burnley , and Alex Ferguson 's side endured a frustrating first 45 minutes against determined opponents . However , Rooney finally made the breakthrough in the 56th minute with a fine header from former Wigan winger Antonio Valencia 's cross . From then on , United were always in control . They doubled their lead two minutes later when Dimitar Berbatov cheekily chipped the ball over goalkeeper Chris Kirkland before finding the net with his second touch . Rooney added his second , and United 's third in the 65th minute with a shot that deflected off defender Mario Melchiot . The England striker then made way for compatriot Owen , who broke his United duck with five minutes remaining with a cool finish after being set-up by Nani . Portuguese Nani had the final word with a superb free-kick in stoppage time that sailed over a stranded Kirkland 's head . Arsenal followed up last weekend 's 6-1 win at Everton by thumping Portsmouth , who have now lost all three of their matches , at the Emirates Stadium . The Gunners took an 18th-minute lead when Abou Diaby smashed home Eduardo 's cut-back and the French midfielder added a second when he slotted home a Cesc Fabregas pass . Portsmouth pulled a goal back before half-time when Younes Kaboul took advantage of hesitancy by goalkeeper Manuel Almunia to head home a Madir Belhadj cross . The home side restored their two-goal lead in the 51st minute when William Gallas , who scored a fortunate goal against Celtic in midweek , was again lucky to deflect a Thomas Vermaelen volley over the line . Substitute Aaron Ramsey beat the offside trap to make it 4-1 on 69 minutes when he latched onto Robin van Persie 's slide-rule pass . Former Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor scored for the second successive weekend to help big-spending Manchester City make it two wins out of two with a narrow 1-0 victory at home to newly-promoted Wolves . The Togo striker crashed home a Carlos Tevez pass to secure the points for Mark Hughes ' side . Kenwyne Jones scored twice as Sunderland recovered from going a goal behind to beat Blackburn 2-1 at the Stadium of Light . French defender Gael Givet gave Blackburn the lead when he thumped home a left-footed shot through a crowded penalty area . But Jones levelled when he rounded goalkeeper Paul Robinson and slotted home into an empty net and the Trinidad striker nodded home the winner in the 54th-minute from Lee Cattermole 's cross . Kamel Ghilas scored his first goal for the club to give Hull their opening win of the season , 1-0 at home to Bolton , while Birmingham and Stoke shared a 0-0 draw in the day 's other match .
