Tottenham made it three league wins out of three with a 2-1 win away at West Ham and join Chelsea at the top of the Premiership. Aaron Lennon netted the winner after Jermaine Defoe, with his sixth of the season, cancelled out Carlton Cole's opener for the Hammers.

Lennon said: "We'll take it a game at a time - it's still early doors."

The former Leeds winger continued: "Obviously after their goal the crowd got on their back, which lifted them - but it lifted us too.

"We are working hard, this was our third match in a week so it's been difficult - but we kept going and we're glad we got the victory.

"I didn't see my goal go in - but I knew I'd hit it quite well."

Defoe added on ESPN: "It was a great performance in the second half, the first half was a bit stale.

"Their goal woke us up a little bit but in the second half we showed good energy and great spirit."

Spurs have now made their best start to a season since 1960, when they went on to win the title under Bill Nicholson.

And boss Harry Redknapp said: "I think Bill was a bit better than me. That was a fantastic team, I saw them play as a kid, I saw an awful lot of that team and if we get anywhere near them we'll be delighted.

On today's match he told ESPN: "It was a tight game. They had a few chances as well but I'm pleased to come back from one down, it shows a lot of character.

"We are an open side, a bit gung-ho and even at 2-1 we had four forwards stuck up there going for it.

"But that's the way we play and I think we'll score goals this season - we'll get at teams.

"We've been working hard on pressing and working teams. If we can do that and stop teams working it's hard for them.

"Watching Barcelona last season, they played when they had the ball but they pressed and made it hard to play against them.

"We try to get our forwards working and closing down when we haven't got the ball.

"We've had a good start - a great home win against Liverpool, who we beat fair and square, then we were fantastic at Hull.

"It was tough today, it was hot. West Ham had a break in midweek and they were bright today - but we came out on top and it's a great result."

Hammers boss Gianfranco Zola believes his team were worth a point.

"I'm disappointed because I don't think it's a fair result - probably a draw would have been a better result.

"I was pleased the way we played the whole game but this is the Premier League and if you want the ambition to challenge you can't really afford to make any mistakes from the first minute.

"Carlton has made a mistake on their goal but he created our goal from nothing so he doesn't have to be disappointed about that.

"We want to be challenging high level teams and we need to be sure we don't make mistakes. He knows that, we all know that.

"We don't like losing so we tried until the end but we couldn't get a goal and that's a pity. But we'll learn a lot from this game."

Asked about speculation linking central defender James Collins with a move to Aston Villa, Zola added on ESPN: "I don't know - I'm more concerned about today's game."

Chelsea also made it a 100% start to the campaign with a 2-0 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage.

Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka did the damage with a goal in each half to see off their local rivals.

Drogba opened the scoring at the end of the first half following good work by Anelka.

The Ivorian then became provider for the Frenchman who scored Chelsea's second with 14 minutes remaining.

Fulham set out to stifle Chelsea by sitting deep but in the end it was to no avail.

Burnley followed up their win over Manchester United by beating Everton 1-0.

Wade Elliott gave Burnley a deserved first half lead but with 15 minutes remaining The Toffees were awarded a controversial penalty after Chris McCann was adjudged to have fouled Tony Hibbert.

Louis Saha dragged the ball wide and with it Everton's chance of snatching a point.

The Clarets are now unbeaten in their first ever season in the Premiership whilst Everton are still searching for their first point.

Burnley boss Owen Coyle was understandably delighted: "I believe we were the better team, but the big moment of the game was the penalty. The players are adamant that there wasn't any contact, but it was a gilt-edged chance to equalise that went by.

"We started at a terrific pace and with quality football, the players did everything we asked of them. We were 1-0 up and still put three strikers on, that's the way we are going to play.

"We have had a great week, but that's all it is. We will still be favourites for relegation. But the good thing is we have points on the board. It's Chelsea next and we will be respectful but we will look to go and play our game by committing men forward."

An unhappy Everton boss David Moyes, told Everton TV: "I'd expect to come to Burnley and win, so I'm disappointed.

"We were poor in the opening 20 minutes or so. I thought we improved as the game went on but still not enough to cause them enough problems.

"I didn't think we were in control of the game that much but we were in the last 30 minutes or so.

"It's a bad time to come here, right at the start of the season, because they have a great deal of momentum coming up from the Championship.

"They have a lot of energy in their team at this present time, which they took from the Manchester United game.

"We had chances today but we didn't connect with them or we mis-kicked them. We didn't take the chances we had."
