Saturday's football photos

Manchester United 1-2 Chelsea: The Blues get the only goal of a first half, in which neither team shines, through Joe Cole's cute back-heel from Florent Malouda's cross

Chelsea bag a second goal through the combined fortune of United's second-half possession amounting to nothing and a very dubious decision to not rule substitute Didier Drogba offside

Frederico Macheda scores for Manchester United

The Red Devils draw a goal back almost immediately as Nani's cross ricochets in off Frederico Macheda but the visitors hold on to become only the second team to win in the league at Old Trafford this season

Karl Henry is sent off for Wolverhampton Wanderers

Arsenal 1-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers: Rarely has a team so dominated a top-flight game and not scored but all the Gunners have to show after an hour for their attacking play is Karl Henry's sending off

Arsene Wenger can claim vindication for his team selection as Nicklas Bendtner, on as a late sub, nips in to head home Bacary Sagna's cross in the fifth minute of injury time and keep title dreams alive in North London

Aston Villa celebrate Ashley Young's goal

Bolton Wanderers 0-1 Aston Villa: The home side don't switch on for the opening 10 minutes and Ashley Young makes the most of the space given to him by curling a lovely opening goal beyond Jussi Jaaskelainen

Players from Bolton Wanderers and Aston Villa argue at the final whistle

Young's is the only goal of the game, helping Villa edge closer to Spurs in fourth place, though a melee between players at the final whistle will perhaps be the most memorable incident of the match

Anthony Vanden Borre is sent off for Portsmouth

Portsmouth 0-0 Blackburn Rovers: Neither team are having a good day in the heavy rain as Rovers twice hit the woodwork and Portsmouth see Anthony Vanden Borre sent to an early bath after two yellow cards

Portsmouth celebrate drawing at home to Blackburn Rovers

Owners have come and gone, their team have played without pay, points taken away, and a man sent off today but, somehow, Portsmouth draw and their survival from relegation lies in the hands of others

Dave Kitson and Ricardo Fuller celebrate scoring for Stoke City

Stoke City 2-0 Hull City: Ricardo Fuller may only have three goals this season but has two in two games following his smart finish to Dave Kitson's nod on, for which the Jamaican also picks up an ankle injury

Any award for team goal of the day goes to the Potters as Matthew Etherington, Sanli Tuncay and others combine to play in Liam Lawrence who seals a home victory with a side-footed finish back past the goalkeeper

Sunderland 3-1 Tottenham Hotspur: With 36 seconds on the clock, Darren Bent gets the quickest goal of the league season so far, and against the team that let him go, following Heurelho Gomes's fluffed save

Darren Bent, celebrates his second goal for Sunderland

It just gets better for Bent, not out of the hunt for a ticket to South Africa with England, bagging a second against his old club and manager from the spot after Kyle Walker's handball

Darren Bent takes his third penalty for Sunderland

Sunderland get two further penalties, and Bent two opportunities for his hat-trick, only to see Gomes save both; the first to his left and the second to his right with the aid of the post

Peter Crouch scores for Tottenham Hotspur

Anton Ferdinand also sees a goal ruled out to ensure the Black Cats, and particularly Bent, have a nervous end to the match when Peter Crouch gets a goal back for Spurs from Niko Kranjcar's cross

Bolo Zenden celebrates scoring for Sunderland

Bolo Zenden, however, pops up at the far post to smash home a volley, complete the home win, and bring some salvation to Bent, who congratulates Gomes at the end of the game

Emmanuel Adebayor scores for Manchester City

Burnley 1-6 Manchester City (1730): The late kick off is a Lancashire derby and any fans delayed on the X63 bus from Manchester to Burnley certainly miss Emmanuel Adebayor's opening goal after three minutes

Carlos Tevez celebrates scoring for Manchester City

In fact, anybody late to the game may well miss City's first three goals, all defensive or goal-keeping mistakes, all within the first eight minutes; Craig Bellamy and Carlos Tevez also scoring

Patrick Viera scores for Manchester City

The Clarets and their fans enjoy a brief pause in the onslaught before Patrick Viera heads home a corner, 4-0, his first goal in English football since scoring for Arsenal against Everton in May 2005

If the fourth goal and the unrelenting downpour don't dampen the gallows humour of the home fans, the fifth goal before the break does, and Burnley's only hope is to have the game called off due to the weather

Vincent Kompany celebrates scoring for Manchester City

Vincent Kompany scores City's sixth goal, their third from a corner, but Steven Fletcher pulls one back, a fantastic finish from a tight angle but little reward for the faithful left in the Turf Moor stands
