Kevin Schade scored a hat-trick as Brentford crushed Leicester 4-1 to spoil Ruud van Nistelrooy’s first day as Foxes manager.
With Van Nistelrooy watching from the stands following confirmation of his appointment on Friday, Leicester started well at the Gtech Community Stadium as Facundo Buonanotte struck after good work by veteran Jamie Vardy.
Yet that was as good as it got for the visitors as Schade took charge, the German first teeing up Yoane Wissa for a 25th-minute equaliser.
Schade then put the Bees ahead with a powerful shot after a cross was deflected into his path and made it 3-1 in first-half stoppage time before completing his treble around the hour mark.
Bournemouth’s Justin Kluivert hit a hat-trick of penalties – a unique feat in the Premier League – in a 4-2 win at Wolves.
The Dutchman’s first came after just three minutes when Toti Gomes brought down Evanilson.
Jorgen Strand Larsen quickly levelled but the Cherries went back ahead through Milos Kerkez and led 3-1 after just 18 minutes when Kluivert struck again following a foul by Jose Sa on Evanilson.
Larsen claimed a deflected second as Wolves rallied after the break but Sa impeded Evanilson again to allow Kluivert to wrap up the points.
Chris Wood was also on target from 12 yards as Nottingham Forest beat Ipswich 1-0 at the City Ground.
Wood scored the only goal from the spot four minutes into the second half after Sam Szmodics fouled Jota Silva. Murillo went close to a second but was denied by a fine save from Arijanet Muric, who tipped onto the bar.
Daniel Munoz headed a last-gasp equaliser as Crystal Palace snatched a 1-1 draw against Newcastle at Selhurst Park to climb out of the bottom three.
England defender Marc Guehi, who was linked with the Magpies last summer, had turned an Anthony Gordon ball into his own net to give the visitors a 53rd-minute lead.
Munoz made amends for missing a sitter late in the first half with a firm header in the fourth minute of stoppage time.
