A day to remember for the Premier League's new kids on the block

The Premier League's new kids on the block showed that they had the right stuff on a day when the promoted teams and summer signings gave supporters grounds for optimism.



The sides which came up from the Championship last season have been hotly tipped to go back whence they came but they all won on Saturday, Norwich and Swansea for the first time this season.

Each promoted side also had at least one player who scored his first goal for his new club and they were the not the only ones to mark a fresh start by finding the net...

1 Eight players scored for the first time for their clubs since joining them this summer: Yakubu (Blackburn), Mikel Arteta and Gervinho (Arsenal), Joey Barton and DJ Campbell (QPR), Anthony Pilkington (Norwich), Royston Drenthe (Everton) and Leroy Lita (Swansea)

4 Norwich's win at Bolton ended a run of 32 consecutive away games without a victory in the top-flight



5 They also fielded an all-British team, becoming the first top flight club to do so since Middlesbrough in 2006



6 But it was not all good news for Norwich, as they conceded a penalty in their fifth consecutive Premier League game, 12 years after the last team (Wimbledon) endured the same fate



7 Victories for QPR, Norwich and Swansea yesterday made it the first time since February 2007 that all three promoted clubs had triumphed on the same day, when Reading, Sheffield United and Watford all claimed three points
