Sunday's football photos

Bolton 1-2 Blackburn: One of the oldest local derbies in English football serves up a frustratingly dull opening half

David Bentley wastes the best chance for the visitors, firing over from the edge of the box with only the keeper to beat

The game livens up after the break and Benni McCarthy blasts Rovers ahead from the spot after Gary Speed fells Bentley

And 10 minutes later McCarthy repeats the feat after being brought down by Abdoulaye Faye to double the lead

Nicolas Anelka sets up a grandstand finale with a cool angled finish past Brad Friedel with three minutes remaining

And Bolton think they have have nicked a point when Faye's header loops in, but the assistant referee rules it offside

West Ham 3-4 Tottenham: Hammers keeper Robert Green makes several vital saves before Mark Noble fires them ahead

And when Carlos Tevez picks himself up after being fouled by Michael Dawson and curls in a second, West Ham are 2-0 up

However, the excitable Argentine earns a yellow card for including the Hammers fans in his over-zealous celebration

Spurs pull one back from the penalty spot after the break - Jermain Defoe powers in after Aaron Lennon is upended

And when Dimitar Berbatov crosses for Lennon to cushion a pass for Teemu Tainio to level, it is game on at Upton Park

The Hammers refuse to buckle though and substitute Bobby Zamora nods them back in front with five minutes remaining

Spurs are not finished though and Berbatov curls a free-kick over the despairing leap of Paul Konchesky to level at 3-3

And deep into injury time, Paul Stalteri breaks Hammers hearts after Green can only parry Defoe's shot into his path

Hibernian 0-2 Rangers: Home keeper Simon Brown is caught out by Charlie Adam's clever free-kick as Gers take the lead

And Brown's nightmare match is complete when he allows a second-half free-kick from Adam through his legs for a second
