Stoke City 1-1 West Ham United: It may be too soon to talk about a relegation six-pointer but the two teams' only points this season so far are courtesy of Stoke's last-minute winner against Aston Villa on Monday

As against Villa, the Potters dominate the first half with a series of set pieces only to go behind when Scott Parker tucks away a goal-mouth scramble, giving the visitors the confidence to dominate possession to half time

Rory Delap and Kenwyne Jones celebrate Stoke City's equaliser

And as against Villa, the Potters draw level through a Kenwyne Jones header, set up well by Jermaine Pennant, though the Trinidad striker is later denied a second by Robert Green to earn West Ham their first point

Aston Villa celebrate Ashley Young's goal

Aston Villa 1-1 Bolton Wanderers: With Gerard Houllier in the stands, Kevin MacDonald takes charge of his last game which Villa lead early on from Ashley Young's 25-yard curling free-kick

Bolton Wanderers celebrate Kevin Davies' goal

The Trotters aren't down and Villa aren't alive to the threat - Stuart Holden's deep cross finds Martin Petrov and his knock-back is taken, turned on and finished well by Kevin Davies

Blackburn Rover's Ryan Nelsen outjumps Fulham's Clint Dempsey

Blackburn Rovers 1-1 Fulham: Mark Hughes is back at his old managerial home and does so without Bobby Zamora who has a broken leg, while Rovers' captain Ryan Nelsen starts having recovered from a foot injury

Cottagers goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer looks uncertain early on and Blackburn start targeting him at set pieces, Chris Samba scoring from one though the Australian appears blocked off by El Hadji Diouf

Schwarzer continues to wobble, Blackburn continue to bombard Fulham and Hughes continues to fume until the visitors' cultured football brings a worthy leveller from the head of Clint Dempsey

Newcastle United's Steven Harper is injured

Everton 0-1 Newcastle United: The Magpies have the better of the first half but see goalkeeper Steve Harper taken off with a suspected broken collarbone after tangling with Jermaine Beckford

Hatem Ben Arfa scores for Newcastle United

The only goal of the game comes from the left boot of Hatem Ben Arfa, on full debut, when Everton leave the French winger with enough time and space to pick his spot for a sledgehammer shot from distance

Steven Fletcher scores for Wolverhampton Wanderers

Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers: Robbie Keane has the best chance of a dire first 45 minutes before Wolves nick a lead on the stroke of half time as Steven Fletcher turns in Kevin Foley's right-wing cross

Rafael Van der Vaart scores for Tottenham Hotspur

It looks like one of those days for Spurs until Stephen Ward's foul on Alan Hutton hands the home side a penalty, duly tucked away by Rafael Van der Vaart, his first goal for Tottenham

Roman Pavlyuchenko scores for Tottenham Hotspur

Substitute Roman Pavlyuchenko then puts Spurs ahead - Tom Huddlestone's shot ricocheting to the Russian after good work by Aaron Lennon down the right

Alan Hutton scores for Tottenham Hotspur

The Londoners are perhaps flattered by a third - similar to Salomon Kalou's goal against West Ham last week - the ball being cleared against Hutton only to balloon off the Scot and in to Marcus Hannemann's net

Cameron Jerome scores for Birmingham City

West Bromwich Albion 3-1 Birmingham City: Alex McLeish signs a new contract with City this week and his side dominate the start of the Midlands derby, going ahead through Cameron Jerome

The Baggies start the second half more alert and Jerome Thomas dances through the City defence to play the ball to Peter Odemwingie to equalise, though Birmingham's Scott Dann may have got the last touch

West Bromwich Albion celebrate Peter Odemwingie's goal

There's no doubt about the second goal from Peter Odemwingie, picking up Lee Bowyer's heavy backpass, rounding Ben Foster, and putting the Baggies ahead

Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion argue

A third goal in 12 minutes from Jonas Olsson seals the points for West Brom while the reaction to Bowyer's foul on Gabriel Tamas seals the Birmingham performance: Confused and angry

Sunderland 1-1 Arsenal: Despite much of the play coming from the home side, the visitors take the lead with a fluke from Cesc Fabregas though the Gunners' captain is soon forced off through injury

Despite Arsene Wenger's complaints about physical football this week, it is Alex Song who collects a second booking for a series of fouls, though the Gunners earn a penalty later on which Tomas Rosicky blazes over

The Black Cats throw everything at the Arsenal goal in search of an equaliser but their delivery and finishing lacks quality until the fourth minute of injury time when Darrent Bent scores from a penalty box scramble
