Manchester United put in a dominant performance to beat a terrible Crystal Palace, who have lost all seven Premier League games this season without scoring.
Unbeaten United led within three minutes when Marcus Rashford's excellent work on the left wing ended with a cut-back to Juan Mata, who steered home from 10 yards out.
Their second came when Ashley Young crossed for Marouane Fellaini to volley home from two yards out at the back post.
Fellaini scored his second goal with a close-range header from Rashford's free-kick early in the second half.
Romelu Lukaku scored a late fourth - his 11th goal in 10 United games - by converting Anthony Martial's cross from close range.
The result takes United top for a couple of hours at least, with Manchester City visiting Chelsea at 17:30 BST. Palace remain bottom.
Free-scoring United win with ease
United continued their fantastic goalscoring start to the season - they have now netted 33 times in 11 games - and, against very limited opposition, they could have won by more, falling just short of matching City's 5-0 victory over the Eagles a week ago.
The Red Devils only landed back in Manchester at 04:00 GMT on Thursday after the 4-1 Champions League win at CSKA Moscow. But, having made five changes from that game, they did not look tired at all.
In fact, they led after only three minutes when Rashford, who replaced Anthony Martial in the line-up, beat Joel Ward with some excellent skill before setting up Mata - another of those recalled - on the Spaniard's 200th Premier League appearance.
Fellaini then scored twice, from crosses by Young and Rashford.
United eased up at this point - there would have been more goals available had they maintained the level of their early performance. But they did get another when Lukaku, who has failed to score in only one of his United games, lashed home Martial's cross late on.
Jose Mourinho's side had other chances - Chris Smalling headed just wide, Rashford and Martial were denied by good Wayne Hennessey saves, and Lukaku dragged a shot inches wide having sent the keeper the wrong way.
Palace's record-breaking start continues
No team in 129 years of the Football League had ever lost their first six league games without scoring - until Palace reached that landmark last week. That record is now extended to seven matches.
The Eagles were relatively organised in defence - this is the fourth time in five games United have scored four goals after all. But Roy Hodgson's side were so short of confidence - or ideas - going forward.
With Christian Benteke ruled out for six weeks, and few other options, they lacked anyone to hold onto the ball up front. Bakary Sako, a winger, had to play as the central forward but he is no target man.
They do have one striker - 24-year-old Freddie Ladapo, who came on for his debut in the second half. Most of his goals have come for non-league Grays and Margate, and his previous appearance was for Shrewsbury against Walsall in April.
Having struggled to score with Benteke, they never looked like doing so without him. Their six shots against United, only one on target from Sako, were mostly from distance.
What's next?
The Premier League returns in two weeks, after the international break. United have arguably their toughest test of the season - at arch-rivals Liverpool (12:30 BST on Saturday, 14 October).
Palace continue their run of facing the three title favourites in a row. They are at home to Chelsea at 15:00 BST that day.
