BBC Sport's Phil McNulty took note of the smug Leicester fans, who hired Claude Puel as manager in October following his summer departure from the south-coast club:Okazaki added a second goal to complete Southampton's routing and hand Saints their worst defeat of the campaign so far, this also being their first fixture conceding more than three goals.Tottenham made the most of Liverpool and Arsenal's dropped points by beating Brighton 2-0 thanks to goals from Serge Aurier and Heung-Min Son. Aurier in particular was glad to get his first Spurs goal, although Men in Blazers detailed how only so much credit could be given for his cross from the right flank:Arsenal were wasteful at the London Stadium and drew 0-0 with West Ham United, who are off to a promising start under new manager David Moyes following their Saturday win over Chelsea.Liverpool were similarly lacking in inspiration at home to West Brom and played out a dull draw of their own despite starting Mohamed Salah, Philippe Coutinho, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.Sam Allardyce's quest to take Everton out of the relegation quagmire was also boosted by their slim1-0 triumph at St James' Park, where Wayne Rooney scored his ninth goal of the Premier League campaign. Jonjo Shelvey received a second yellow in the fourth minute of injury time, ending any late hopes of the Magpies equalising.Days after his penalty clinched a point in the Merseyside derby, Rooney was the Toffees talisman again, pouncing on an error from Magpies goalkeeper Karl Darlow to slide in a crucial 1-0 winner, cementing Everton in 10th place for now.
