PEDRO Rodriguez scored one goal and set up another in his first half-hour of Premier League football, setting Chelsea on its way to a 3-2 win over West Bromwich Albion and the first victory of its title defense.
League-leading Manchester City, meanwhile, earned its third straight win of the season — and a club record-equaling ninth victory in a row — by beating Everton 2-0 thanks to second-half goals by Aleksandar Kolarov and Samir Nasri.

Liverpool is the only other team with a 100 percent start, ahead of its match at Arsenal on Monday that wraps up the third round.
