There is now a three-week international break with no Premier League games until 10 October.
We are five matches into the league season and there is a long way to go in the campaign, but which teams have impressed so far and who have disappointed?
You can have your say in the comments at the bottom of the page.
Arsenal: Solid start to their title defence until they were ripped apart by Brighton having survived a penalty scare at Sunderland. 7
Aston Villa: Signs they are beginning to move in the right direction after losing so many key players during the transfer window. 6
Bournemouth: If games lasted 80 minutes the Cherries would be near the top of the table. Need to cut out conceding so late. 6
Brentford: Demolished Spurs and Chelsea without fuss during a highly impressive unbeaten start. Can they keep it up and challenge for Europe? 8
Brighton: Kings of entertainment after hitting 16 goals in five top-flight games, including three against champions Arsenal. A joy to watch. 9
Chelsea: After a strong start under Xabi Alonso, the Blues have lost two of their past three - and were picked apart by Brentford. Are they really moving in the right direction? 6
