Cardiff City 0 v 3 Arsenal Ramsay (29, 90), Flamini (80)
First Half: Wilshere hits the bar from the edge of the box. Campbell heads wide of the far post. Goal! 0-1, Ramsay heads into the far top corner from an Ozil cross. Ramsay blazes a shot high and wide.
Half Time 0-1.
Second Half: Giroud has a shot blocked off the line. Campbell has a header really well saved. Cazorla has a tame shot saved. Goal! 0-2, Flamini fires into the near top corner from an Ozil pass. Goal! 0-3, Ramsay fires into the roof of the net after a fast break and Walcott's layoff.
Full Time: 0-3.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Ramsay. Cardiff were largely outplayed today by a strong Arsenal side. Campbell had the better chances for the home team but failed to convert. Arsenal will be really pleased to come away with three points and a strong performance. The keeper made a string of top saves to keep them in the game but Ramsay led a dominating Arsenal midfield.
Everton 4 v 0 Stoke City Deulofeu (45), Coleman (49), Oviedo (58), Lukaku (79)
First Half: Deulofeu has a free kick parried away. Deulofeu has a shot saved at the near post. McCarthy curls a shot wide from the edge of the box wide of the near post. Walters hits a shot straight at Howard. Goal! 1-0, Deulofeu converts over the keeper from close range at the near post.
Half Time: 1-0.
Second Half: Goal! 2-0, Coleman slices a shot into the far corner from close range. Deulofeu has a shot block saved after a fast break. Goal! 3-0, Oviedo scores with a long range low strike that goes in via the inside of the near post. Crouch has a close range shot saved. Goal! 4-0, Lukaku taps in from close range at the centre of the goal from Deulofeu's cross. Jelavic is put through on goal but hits a shot straight at the keeper.
Full Time: 4-0.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Deulofeu. Everton were dominant and deadly. The two goals either side of half time killed Stoke off but from then on it was all Everton. Deulofeu starred for the home side and looks a real prospect for the future. Stoke suffered a very poor away day and will want to forget this one quickly.
West Ham 3 v 0 Fulham Diame (47), Carlton Cole (82), Joe Cole (88)
First Half: Maiga heads onto the near post following a free kick. Collins heads just wide of the far post. Downing has a long range strike well saved. Nolan has a scissor kick saved.
Half Time: 0-0.
Second Half: Goal! 1-0, Diame puts the Hammers ahead with a long range strike that deflects past the keeper. Maiga has a long range strike parried away before Downing blazes the rebound over. Kasami strikes a long range effort just wide of the near post. Downing hits the bar with a mishit cross. Morrison strikes wide of the near post. Goal! 2-0, Carlton Cole taps in from close range Downing's cross. Goal! 3-0, Joe Cole strikes low into the near bottom corner.
Full Time: 3-0.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Downing. West Ham were the much better team on the pitch and deserved to take all three points. They created plenty of chances and took the lead early in the second half. Both Carlton and Joe Cole finished the game off late on as West Ham claimed a much needed victory. Fulham put in another poor showing and need to change things around soon otherwise they will go down in this form.
Newcastle 2 v 1 West Brom Gouffran (36), Brunt (53), Sissokho (57)
First Half: Cabaye drags a shot wide from long range. Remy has a header deflected wide of the post. Goal! 1-0, Gouffran heads in from close range following a corner to give Newcastle the lead.
Half Time: 1-0.
Second Half: Goal! 1-1, Brunt equalises after smashing home into the roof of the net at the far post. Goal! 2-1, Sissokho puts Newcastle back in front with a long range screamer into the top corner. Cabaye has a shot saved. Anichebe heads wide of the post.
Full Time: 2-1.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Sissokho. Newcastle showed some tough fighting spirit to claim victory today. They took the lead twice and it was a fitting winning goal from Sissokho who scored quite simply a wonder goal to win the match. West Brom were fully involved during the game but were cruelly denied a point due to a wonder goal.
Norwich City 1 v 0 Crystal Palace Hooper (30)
First Half: Fer overhead kick hits the crossbar. Redmond has a shot at the near post parried behind. Goal! 1-0, Hooper slots low into the bottom corner to put Norwich ahead. Puncheon has a shot parried before Bannan's rebounded shot is headed onto the bar.
Half Time: 1-0.
Second Half: Delaney heads over the bar from close range. Kebe hits a shot from the edge of the box just wide of the near post. Jerome has a tame shot saved.
Full Time: 1-0.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Hooper. Norwich held on for victory really well today. Hooper took the goal well and from then on they managed to keep a vital clean sheet. Palace just had one of those days where it just wouldn't go in. Unlucky not to get a point from this one but Palace will certainly have better days.
Aston Villa 0 v 0 Sunderland
First Half: Agbonlahor has a long range low curling shot saved. Benteke curls a shot over the bar from close range. Gardner has a goal ruled out for offside. Giaccherini puts an effort over from very close range.
Half Time: 0-0.
Second Half: Agbonlahor has a shot parried round the near post. Borini heads onto the bar.
Full Time: 0-0.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Guzan. Aston Villa had a few decent chances but failed to find the back of the net. Perhaps they have Guzan to thank for their point as the Villa keeper put in a strong performance to keep a clean sheet. Sunderland had the better chances but an awful miss from Giaccherini summed up Sunderland's day. The black cats were more likely to open the scoring but a draw was a fair result.
Best Goal: Flamini, Oviedo and Sissokho. Winner: Sissokho
