Birmingham City 0-2 Everton: The hosts look far more likely to score when they suddenly find themselves a goal down - Leon Osman's 54th-minute cross is not dealt with and Roger Johnson puts it into his own net

With only seconds of the game remaining Tim Cahill heads a second to end Birmingham's 18-game unbeaten home record while giving Everton their first win of the season

Stoke City 1-0 Blackburn Rovers: After an opening 45 minutes without any goals, recent signing Jon Walters scores his first and what proves to be the winner for the Potters just after the break

Sunderland 0-0 Manchester United: Steed Malbranque is among those who go close for the Mackems in an entertaining game but they have to settle for a draw at the Stadium of Light

Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Aston Villa: Gerard Houllier's team travel down to White Hart Lane and become the first to score when Marc Albrighton taps home from Emile Heskey's 16th-minute cross

Sadly for Villa, injury forces Heskey off and then right before half-time Rafael van der Vaart heads Spurs level after being given the chance by Peter Crouch

Van der Vaart celebrates his second goal

The talented Dutchman's afternoon gets even better 15 minutes from time when he smashes a second to score what turns out to be the winner

West Bromwich Albion 1-1 Bolton Wanderers: The in-form Baggies look like seeing their good run come to an end when Johan Elmander sweeps home from 12 yards midway through the second half

However, with 12 minutes to go Peter Odemwingie sends in a fine cross which James Morrison heads firmly into the net to earn a share of the points

West Ham United 1-1 Fulham: Having famously got the better of goalkeeper Robert Green in the World Cup, American player Clint Dempsey does so again to give the Cottagers a 33rd-minute lead

The Hammers get back on level terms soon after the interval when an error by Brede Hangeland starts a chain of events which results in a headed goal from Frederic Piquionne

Wigan Athletic 2-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers: With both sides starting the game in the lower reaches of the table, Jordi Gomez finds himself on the receiving end of a nasty early tackle from Wolves captain Karl Henry

Referee Lee Mason takes no time to decide the midfielder's fate and sends him off for the challenge, reducing the visitors to 10 men after only 11 minutes

The opening goal eventually arrives in the 65th minute when Charles N'Zogbia is fouled on the edge of the box and Gomez (left) bends home the resulting free-kick

Rodallega celebrates after making it 2-0

Wigan make sure of the victory with another five minutes from time when defender Christophe Berra inadvertently steers a clearance into the path of Hugo Rodallega who sends it low into the net
