Premiership round-up: A dreadful backpass by Watford's Matthew Spring allowed Manchester United to maintain their 100 per cent start to the Premiership season.

The Hornets were holding the leaders 1-1 at Vicarage Road when Spring's carelessness allowed stand-in United captain Ryan Giggs to round Richard Lee and clip home shortly after half-time.

It was made worse by Darius Henderson's terrible close-range miss moments earlier, which would have completed a turnaround begun by Damien Francis towards the end of the first half.

Francis tapped in Ashley Young's low right-wing cross to cancel out Mikael Silvestre's opener, the full-back having burst forward on the overlap before drilling a low strike into the far corner.

Everton are up to second after surviving the first-half sending-off of Kevin Kilbane to record their first league win at Tottenham for 21 years. The game was still goalless when the midfielder was shown a second yellow card but the visitors made a mockery of Spurs' man advantage after the interval.

They took the lead when Joleon Lescott's header from Mikel Arteta's right-wing free-kick brushed off Calum Davenport into his own net.

Andrew Johnson made it 2-0 when he got between two defenders to steer Phil Neville's right-wing cross past Paul Robinson.

It was a tale of two red cards and two penalties at The Valley as Charlton climbed off the foot of the table with their first win of the season against Bolton. Iain Dowie's Addicks career looked destined to start with three straight defeats when Hermann Hreidarsson was sent off after being harshly adjudged to have elbowed Kevin Davies and Amady Faye brought El-Hadji Diouf down for a penalty.

But Scott Carson saved Diouf's spot-kick, sparking an incredibly reversal of fortunes that saw Darren Bent both win and convert a penalty before Davies was sent off for an identical challenge to the one he was on the end of earlier.

Bent sealed the points five minutes from time as his first-time finish from Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's flick-on squeezed through the legs of Jussi Jaaskelainen.

Emile Heskey scored only his second goal in 28 games to give Wigan their first win of the campaign at the expense of Reading. The summer signing from Birmingham had already fluffed a one-on-one and hit the woodwork with a header when he was played through by Lee McCulloch and kept his composure to notch his first for his new club.

He should have had a second in the second half but lifted his clipped finish over the crossbar, while Leroy Lita wasted a glorious chance to rescue a draw for the visitors when put clean through by substitute John Oster.

Fulham also have a win on the board thanks to Jimmy Bullard's terrific free-kick against Sheffield United. The summer signing from Wigan curled home from 25 yards after Collins John had earlier hit the post and Ian Pearce had missed a sitter for the hosts.

Danny Webber thought he had levelled moments before half-time when he rounded Antti Niemi but the effort was ruled out for offside. Rob Hulse missed United's best chances after the break, while the excellent Bullard came close to a second.

Earlier, two late first-half goals gave Liverpool their first Premiership win of the season on the day the Kop celebrated its 100th birthday.

Both goals were scored in front of one of the most famous stands in football, the first from Daniel Agger - a cracker from 35 yards - and the second from Peter Crouch from close range.

West Ham led early on through Bobby Zamora's fourth of the season, courtesy of a Jose Reina blunder, but they could not fashion an equaliser
