Goal! 2-4, Milner scores with a low shot into the near bottom corner.
Full Time: 2-4.



My Opinion:
My man of the match was Negredo. City rally late on to take three points from Craven Cottage. Fulham fought back really well from two goals down but were undone in seven minutes which cost them a point. City were on top during the first half but a lapse in concentration and a freak goal saw all their hard work undone. However, they managed to score another two goals and rightly took all three points.

Liverpool 3 v 1 Cardiff City Suarez (25,45), Sterling (42), Mutch (58)
First Half: Noone has a long range curling effort saved. Suarez has a shot deflected wide of the post. Goal! 1-0, Suarez puts Liverpool in the lead with a long range volley into the near side. Coutinho strikes the near post. Flanagan has a shot cleared off the line. Sterling has a shot parried away. Goal! 2-0, Sterling is through on goal but squares for Suarez to tap into an open net. Goal! 3-0, Suarez scores again with a curling shot into the far side from the edge of the box. 
Half Time: 3-0.
Second Half: Goal! 3-1, Mutch gets one back after heading into the far side following a free kick. Suarez strikes the near post.
Full Time: 3-1.

My Opinion:
My man of the match was Suarez. Liverpool rampage their way past Cardiff. The home side were worthy winners after they dominated the first half and deservedly led 3-0. Didn't create too much but Suarez was denied a hat trick when his effort came back off the post. Cardiff were not that bad but they just came across an in form Suarez.

Manchester United 3 v 1 West Ham United Welbeck (26), Januzaj (36), Young (72), Cole (81)
First Half: Cleverly has a shot well saved. Valencia has a driven shot parried behind. Goal! 1-0, Welbeck puts United ahead with a low driven shot into the far bottom corner. Goal! 2-0, Januzaj scores after going past a defender and firing a low shot into the far bottom corner. 
Half Time: 2-0.
Second Half: Evans heads just wide of the post. Hernandez has a goal ruled out for offside. Goal! 3-0, Young scores with a curling shot from the edge of the box into the far top corner. Goal! 3-1, Cole scores after being put through on goal and slotting a low shot under De Gea.
Full Time: 3-1.

My Opinion:
My man of the match was Rooney. United ease to victory over Hammers. It was a solid and decent performance from United who continued their form over from last week. Pleasing to see three different scores whilst Rooney was in fine fettle. West Ham failed to pose a real threat in front of goal for most of the game and got what they deserved.  

Crystal Palace 0 v 3 Newcastle United Cabaye (25), Gabbidon (39,OG), Ben Arfa (86, pen)
First Half: Goal! 0-1, Cabaye puts Newcastle in front with a low deflected strike into the near side. Jerome has a shot saved. Goal! 0-2, Debuchy's cross is turned into his own goal by Gabbidon. 
Half Time: 0-2.
Second Half: Cabaye has a long range free kick well saved. Jerome volleys over the bar from close range. Gouffran hits the post. Penalty! Parr fouls Ameobi inside the box. Goal! 0-3, Ben Arfa converts from the spot.
Full Time: 0-3.

My Opinion:
My man of the match was Cabaye. Newcastle trounce Palace to claim all three points. Palace were involved in the game and competed well. However, they missed their fair share of chances in goal which really cost them. Newcastle were the better team and deserved to win today as they put in a very strong performance.

Stoke City 2 v 1 Aston Villa Adam (50), Kozak (66), Crouch (70)
First Half: Whelan has a misdirected cross tipped over the bar.
Half Time: 0-0.
Second Half: Goal! 1-0, Adam puts Stoke ahead with a close range low shot into the far side. Goal! 1-1, Kozak levels for Villa after slotting home from close range. Goal! 2-1, Crouch taps in from close range into the centre of the goal. Crouch strikes the shot against the post. Kozak has a volley tipped over the bar. 
Full Time: 2-1.

My Opinion:
My man of the match was Crouch. Crouch claims all three points for Stoke. It was a really needed victory and Stoke managed to achieve it. Took the lead twice and it paid off. Not the result Villa were hoping for as their poor run of form continues.

West Bromich Albion 1 v 1 Hull City Livermore (28), Vydra (86)
First Half: Chester heads over the bar. Goal! 0-1, Livermore puts Hull in front after slotting a low shot under the keeper to the centre of goal. 
Half Time: 0-1.
Second Half: Berahino has a volley parried behind. Mulumbu fires a deflected shot wide of the post. Both Huddlestone and El Mohamady have shots parried away. Goal! 1-1, Vydra equalises for West Brom with a low shot into the near bottom corner. Huddlestone fires a free kick wide of the post. 
Full Time: 1-1.

My Opinion:
My man of the match was Livermore. Spoils shared at the Hawthorns. It was a vital point for West Brom who have been struggling of late. This result may boost their confidence for their upcoming games. Hull were the better team for large parts of the game and will be disappointed they failed to hang on for all three points.

Sunderland 0 v 0 Norwich City
First Half: Redmond is denied by a great save. Altidore has a deflected shot go wide of the post. Bardsley has a long range strike saved. Hooper is a denied from long range by a great save. 
Half Time: 0-0.
Second Half: Brown heads against the near post. Wolfswinkel has a low shot saved. Ki fires over the bar from long range. Red Card! Brown is sent off with a straight red card after a bad tackle on Wolfswinkel.
Full Time: 0-0.

My Opinion:
My man of the match was Bardsley. Goalless draw at the stadium of light. Sunderland really lacked a cutting edge in front of goal but were decent apart from that. Norwich deserved a point from the game as they were not outplayed. 

Best Goal: Toure, Suarez, Young. Winner: Toure
