Full Time: 6-0.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Huddlestone. Rampant Hull hit Fulham for six. It was a fairly tame first half but Hull exploded into life during the second half, scoring an incredible six goals. They fully deserved to win and it will boost their confidence following their home defeat to United on boxing day. Fulham's best player was Stockdale and yet they still lost 6-0. They managed an away win at Norwich but today they had 45 minutes to forget.
Manchester City 1 v 0 Crystal Palace Dzeko (66)

Ward has a long range shot parried wide of the post. Ward heads wide of the far post following a corner. Dzeko heads over the bar from close range.
Full Time: 1-0.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Hart. Dzeko scores the winner for City. It wasn't an easy game for City as Palace proved tough to breakdown. Hart made plenty of world class saves to keep a clean sheet whilst Dzeko and Navas provided that touch of class to seal victory. Palace can come away with their heads held high. They gave it a real go and were just constantly denied by Hart. On another day Palace could easily have come away with a point or even a win.
Cardiff City 2 v 2 Sunderland Mutch (6), Campbell (58), Fletcher (83), Colback (90)

Whittingham has a low free kick saved at the near post. Altidore spurns a great chance at the far post. Borini has low long range shot parried away.

Roberge has a volley parried away at the near post. Goal! 2-2, Colback levels for Sunderland with a deflected shot into the near top corner.
Full Time: 2-2.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Mutch. Sunderland fightback for an incredible draw. Cardiff played really well for 80 minutes and deservedly took a two goal lead. However, the last minutes was really poor from Cardiff and they should have held on for three points. Two points lost for Cardiff. Sunderland were nowhere for most of the game but valiantly scored twice in the last 10 minutes to claim a vital point.
West Ham United 3 v 3 West Bromich Albion J. Cole (4), Anelka (40, 45), Maiga (65), Nolan (67), Berahino (69)

Half Time: 1-2.
Second Half: Anelka has a tame effort from close range saved. Berahino hits a low shot wide of the far post. Maiga has a curling shot parried away from the top corner. Goal! 2-2, Maiga levels for West Ham from the edge of the box with a low curling shot into the far corner.

Goal! 3-3, Berahino levels for West Brom with a low shot across goal that goes in via the inside of the far post. Berahino hits the far post with a free kick.
Full Time: 3-3.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Anelka. Six goal thriller at Upton Park. West Ham took an early lead but a five minute lapse of concentration before half time saw them go into the break behind. They put themselves back in the lead with two goals in two minutes but just couldn't hold on for victory. West Brom played well and deserved at least a point. From half time they would have wanted to win but after going behind, a draw would have been suitable.
Norwich City 0 v 1 Manchester United Welbeck (57)

Full Time: 0-1.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Welbeck. United grind out win at Carrow Road. Norwich deserved a point from the game. They had more chances but just couldn't take one. United really got away with that one. They didn't play particularly well and were under threat for most of the game. However, Welbeck provided some real class to claim all three points for a lucky United today.
Aston Villa 1 v 1 Swansea City Agbonlahor (7), Lamah (36)
First Half: Goal! 1-0, Agbonlahor puts Villa ahead after being played through on goal and slotting a low shot into the far bottom corner. Hernandez has a low shot saved. Davies heads over from close range following a corner. De Guzman fires a low shot from the edge of the box just wide of the near post.

Half Time: 1-1.
Second Half: De Guzman has a long range free kick tipped over the bar. Shelvey has a shot saved.
Full Time: 1-1.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Lamah. All sqaure at Villa Park. Aston Villa deserved to take a point from the game but they never looked like winning it. Swansea played well but were unfortunate not to win the game after creating more chances.
Best Goal: Boyd, Huddlestone, Maiga, Berahino. Winner: Huddlestone.
