Liverpool wiped out Chelsea's 86-game unbeaten record at home Sunday, and Tottenham won its first game of the Premier League season within hours of Harry Redknapp replacing Juande Ramos as manager. Xabi Alonso's 10th-minute goal clinched Liverpool's 1-0 victory and Chelsea's first loss at Stamford Bridge for more than four years. Liverpool leads Chelsea and Hull by three points in the league, but there was as much attention on last-place Tottenham, which fired Ramos on Saturday night after the team's worst start to a season. Spurs strikers Roman Pavlyuchenko and Darren Bent scored to secure a 2-0 win over 10-man Bolton as Redknapp immediately took charge of the team after leaving Portsmouth, which was held 1-1 by Fulham. Arsenal is four points behind Liverpool after beating West Ham 2-0. Robinho scored a hat trick for Manchester City in a 3-0 win over Stoke, and Aston Villa demolished Wigan 4-0. Chelsea rarely looked capable of denying Liverpool a win to boost manager Rafa Benitez's hopes of ending Liverpool's 19-year wait for its 19th league title. The Reds' first win at Chelsea since January 2004 came thanks to Alonso's shot that was deflected in by Chelsea defender Jose Bosingwa. “Top of the league, psychologically that should give us a big lift,” Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher said. “(Four years is) a great record. Obviously, it couldn't go on forever.” Chelsea hadn't been beaten at home since Arsenal won in February 2004 over Claudio Ranieri's side - a record that remained intact under subsequent managers Jose Mourinho and Avram Grant. “The result was not expected, but we have to understand that Liverpool is a very good team and they didn't play better than us but shot one ball better than us and won,” Scolari said. Hoffenheim beats Hamburg Hoffenheim moved to the top of the Bundesliga with a convincing 3-0 win over Hamburger SV in Frankfurt on Sunday. Chinedu Obasi scored two goals as Ralf Rangnick's surprise team remained undefeated at home. It has 19 points after nine rounds, one point ahead of Bayer Leverkusen. Hoffenheim went ahead 2-0 with goals by Obasi in the seventh and Vedad Ibisevic in the 13th. Obasi struck his second goal on a counterattack in the 35th and Sejad Salihovic hit the post in the 40th as the frantic pace continued. Hamburg, which remained on 17 points for third place, tried to recover but failed against Hoffenheim's solid backline. Bayern Munich is fifth with 15 points after overcoming a two-goal deficit Saturday with a 4-2 victory over visiting Wolfsburg. Stuttgart is just one point behind Hamburg in fourth place after a 2-0 victory at home over VfL Bochum. Borussia Dortmund and Hertha Berlin drew 1-1 in Dortmund. Hertha has 15 points for sixth place and Dortmund is eighth with 14. – AP __
