Ayegbeni Yakubu hit two goals on his debut and Arsenal's hapless defense added two own goals as Blackburn registered its first win of the season to ramp up the pressure on the Gunners' manager Arsene Wenger.
Swansea romped past West Bromwich Albion with goals from Scott Sinclair, Leroy Lita and Nathan Dyer, while Joey Barton, Alejandro Faurlin and DJ Campbell gave Queens Park Rangers a 3-0 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Norwich completed the trio of victories for the promoted clubs, Anthony Pilkington and Bradley Johnson getting first-half goals in a 2-1 win at Bolton.
