Barclays Premier League Table Week 2: Updated EPL Outlook After Week 1 Results

The opening day of the new Barclays Premier League season produced an early surprise, when Swansea City went to Old Trafford and beat Manchester United to spoil the debut of new manager Louis van Gaal.

Bookending that shock were same late heroics from midfielder Aaron Ramsey to spare Arsenal's blushes at home to Crystal Palace. The Welsh star netted a very late winner to help Arsenal scrap to a 2-1 win.
In between, there was a four-goal thriller between Everton and newly promoted Leicester City. The two sides shared the spoils, earning a point apiece.
Here are the full results from the new season's first fixtures:
