My Opinion:
My man of the match was Fernandinho. It was a thoroughly entertaining game but City proved too strong for Arsenal. City were powerful and impressive as they romped their way to victory. It sends out a big message to the rest of the league after putting six past Arsenal. It was a naive formation that Wenger opted to enforce. They were overpowered in midfield and struggled to stop leaking in the goals.

My Opinion:
My man of the match was Osman. Everton rally during the final quarter of the game to take all three points. It was a strong finish from Everton who deserved to win the game. Fulham coped really well and managed to level the score at 1-1. However, a disastrous last twenty minutes meant they left with nothing.

Full Time: 2-1
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Ramires. Chelsea grind out tough win against a stern Palace. Chelsea managed to get the job done and take three points but they still aren't all that in front of goal. They really need to put the chances they create away. Palace put in a strong performance and could possibly have taken a point. Encouraging signs for Palace who can take plenty away with them albeit not points.

My man of the match was Whittingham. Cardiff take all three points thanks to Whittingham. Cardiff were the better team and it was no surprise to see them win the game. West Brom had a poor game in which they were lacklustre and ineffective in the attacking half.

My Opinion:
My man of the match was Rodriguez. Southampton fight back to claim a draw. Newcastle were the better team in the first half and rightly led going into half time. Remy missed a glorious chance to score a late winner but a point was well deserved. Southampton failed to find their feet in the first half but came out a different team for the second. Overall, a draw seemed a fair result.
