Big Sam Makes His PointBlackburn 3-0 Stoke
A dream start for new Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce with his new charges doing all the damage inside the first half hour. A McCarthy double and another from Jason Roberts snapped Rovers’ losing streak.
Bolton 2-1 Portsmouth
This one looked like being a disaster for Pompey as the home side were 2 up inside 3 minutes with goals from Taylor and Gardner. The visitors settled down after that and pulled one back through Peter Crouch, but were unable to complete the comeback.
Fulham 3-0 Middlesbrough
A comfortable win for the home side who got goals from Bullard, Murphy and Dempsey.
Hull 1-4 Sunderland
A second straight 4 goal game from Sunderland, but the scoreline is a little deceiving as 2 of those goals came in the dying moments of the game shortly after Hull had been reduced to 10 men. Malbranque, Zayatte (OG), Jones and Cisse scored for the visitors with veteran Nick Barmby hitting for the home side.
West Ham 0-1 Aston Villa
Villa continued their recent run of good form with an away victory over the Hammers. A Lucas Neill own goal was the difference in this one.
West Brom 2-1 Man City
A rare victory for the cellar dwellers, and one thats puts added pressure on embattled City boss Mark Hughes. Like Moore had given WBA the lead in the 64th before a Moore OG in the 85th looked to be enough for a share of the spoils, but Bednar had other ideas popping the winner in the waning seconds of the game.
Newcastle 2-1 Tottenham
Yet another crucial 3 points for the Magpies who opened the scoring through N’Zogbia. Modric tied it up with his first Premiership goal, but the home side got the last laugh with a Damien Duff goal in the final minute.
Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool
It was honors even in an ill-tempered game at the Emirates. Van Persie had given the Gunners the lead, but Robbie Keane levelled moment before half time. The second half saw Adebayor receive a disputed red card, but the vistors couldn’t take advantage with the extra man.
