Stoke 0-1 Man. Utd.
United, fresh off their World Club Championship victory in Japan, returned to Premiership action and struggled to break down a dogged Stoke defence. The winning goal came with 7 minutes to play through Carlos Tevez, this after the home side had been reduced to 10 men with Andy Wilkinson red carded for a second
bookable offence.
Chelsea 2-0 West Brom
It may only be Friday, but this looked like a Sunday afternnon stroll in the park for the blues. Goals from Drogba and Lampard in the first half were enough to seal the deal.
Portsmouth 1-4 West Ham
An impressive, and much needed, win for the Hammers who looked to be in trouble after going behind to a Belhadj goal in the 8th minute. Strikes from Collison, Cole and a Craig Bellamy double reversed their fortunes.
Tottenham 0-0 Fulham
A dull affair in the London derby that only served to highlight Spurs desperate need for a striker.
Liverpool 3-0 Bolton
The Reds confirmed their status as Premiership leader with an impressive dismantling of visitors Bolton. Riera got the ball rolling in the 26th minute, and Robbie Keane added a double in the second half to complete the scoring.
Man City 5-1 Hull
There has been a lot of talk in the past week that City boss Mark Hughes may be the next EPL manager to feel the swing of the axe, but his charges dispelled that somewhat with a magnificent display. Caicedo (2), Robinho (2), and Ireland got the goals for City, with Fagan netting the consolation for Hull.
Middlesbrough 0-1 Everton
A 50th minute strike from Tim Cahill was enough to give the visitors a nice away win.
Sunderland 0-0 Blackburn
Sunderlands goal flurry (8 in their previous 2 games) was halted by a stubborn Blackburn side who have now picked up 4 points out of a possible 6 under new boss Sam Allardyce.
Wigan 2-1 Newcastle
A tough loss for the visiotrs who found themselves a goal down in the 29th through Taylor. Newcastle spurned some fine opportunities and their fate was sealed in the 73rd when Bassong was red carded for a foul inside the box, Zazi converting the ensuing penalty. The Magpies got a consolation from the spot, Guthrie converting, in the final minute of play.
Aston Villa 2-2 Arsenal
It may be time for the home side to change their name to Aston Thrilla. This was an instant classic that saw Villa twice denied by the woodwork beofre Arsenal stunned them either side of hal-time through goals by Denilson and Diaby. Villa never gave up and were rewarded by a Gareth Barry spot kick (his 50th goal for Villa) and a last gasp equalizer from Zat Knight.
