Second Half: Henderson has a close range shot blocked by Hart. Negredo has a long range chip saved. Henderson has a backheel flick saved from close range. Sterling misses a great chance from close range over the bar.
Full Time: 2-1.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Fernandinho. City comeback to beat Liverpool. After a very close and entertaining game, City proved that their confidence would prevail. Their home form has been terrific and it carried them through a really close encounter. Liverpool started really strongly and were unlucky not to have been given an earlier goal as Sterling was wrongly ruled offside. It was a soft winning goal to concede and Mignolet really should have done a better job than he did. Liverpool probably deserved to take a point from the game but it just wasn't to be.
West Ham United 1 v 3 Arsenal Cole (46), Walcott (68, 71), Podolski (79)
First Half: Walcott volleys wide from close range. Giroud drags a low shot wide of the far post.
Half Time: 0-0.

Both Cazorla and Ozil are denied from long range. Goal! 1-1, Walcott levels for Arsenal after cutting inside and firing a low shot straight through the keeper. Goal! 1-2, Walcott puts Arsenal in front after heading in Podolski's cross. Podolski has a close range shot saved. Goal! 1-3, Podolski scores from the edge of the box with a low lashed shot into the bottom corner.
Full Time: 1-3.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Podolski. Arsenal comeback to beat the Hammers. West Ham played really well and even took the lead. However, they just couldn't hang on for long enough and eventually they were undone by Arsenal's constant attacking football. It was a slow start to the game for Arsenal who struggled for large parts of the game. However, bringing Podolski on really changed the game. Walcott scored twice in three minutes before Podolski capped off a fine twenty minutes with a goal of his own.

Red Card! Valencia is shown a second yellow card for kicking the ball away. Chester has a shot saved. Bruce scuffs a shot wide of the post.
Full Time: 2-3.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Rooney. United comeback to claim vital win. Hull started the game really well and managed to give themselves a two goal lead. However, they were unable to hold on for at least a point as they were undone by two decent goals and an own goal. United really needed to find something special after a terrible start. Luckily, they got themselves back on level terms before half time and it was inevitable that they would go on to win from there.

My Opinion:
My man of the match was Remy. Newcastle run rampant over nine men Stoke. The game changed massively in favour of Newcastle as Stoke had two players sent off before half time. It was a matter of just getting the job done and once they took the lead, the floodgates opened. Stoke started the game well and managed to take the lead. However, two red cards is just poor discipline and from then on it was a real struggle.

My Opinion:
My man of the match was Mannone. Sunderland shock Everton to claim win. Everton had so many chances but were constantly denied by Mannone who was having one of the games of his life. Suderland took their chance well and did really well to hold on for a vital win.

Second Half: Very little happened during the second half and thus there is not much to discuss here.
Full Time: 0-3.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Rodriguez. Southampton cruise past Cardiff. Medel was sorely missed in midfield for Cardiff who just didn't get going. It was a really strong performance from Southampton who took full advantage of scoring three goals in the opening half an hour.
Chelsea 1 v 0 Swansea City Hazard (29)

Full Time: 1-0.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Hazard. Chelsea get the job done. It was a decent performance from Chelsea who deserved to win. Hazard was instrumental in all things good that Chelsea accomplished and rightly scored the winning goal. Swansea didn't create many chances themselves but have their keeper to thank for keeping the score down.

My Opinion:
My man of the match was Parker. Fulham comeback to win at Carrow Road. Norwich failed to create many chances and paid the price. They did well to take an early lead but they were unable to hold on for a point. Fulham really needed to win and they did. A huge result for Fulham that they really deserved after a strong and determined fightback from 1-0 down.

My Opinion:
My man of the match was Gayle. Gayle steals a late winner for Palace. Villa were in the game but failed to take one of their chances. However, they should have taken a draw but were beaten by a wonder goal. Vital win for Palace who claimed an important three points away from home. Gayle came off the bench and scored a deserving winning goal in the dying minutes.

Half Time: 1-1.
Second Half: Rose strikes just over the bar from long range. Walker has a long range strike parried away. Soldado heads just wide of the far post.
Full Time: 1-1.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Eriksen. Olsson claims draw at White Hart Lane. Spurs looked the more likely to take the lead and they did. However, they paid for conceding so soon after scoring. Plenty of chances came forth for Spurs but they just couldn't find that second goal. The Baggies will be pleased to come away with a point and did well to level things back up so quickly after Spurs scored.
Best Goal: Walcott, Podolski, Rooney, Cabaye, Hazard, Parker, Assaidi, Gayle, Eriksen. Winner: Rooney
