Manchester United 2 West Brom 0
Game over: Robin van Persie celebrates scoring his team's second goal
Bullet: Van Persie climbed off the bench to seal all three points for United against West Brom
Provider: Ashley Young's cross was turned in by McAuley for the opening goal of the game
Danny
Welbeck - afforded a rare start in a central striking berth - and Shinji
Kagawa - back for the first time since suffering a knee injury in
October - both sparkled for the hosts, who were so obviously on top
Steel: Nemanja Vidic helped shore up a previously leaky Unite defence
Doubt: The match at Old Trafford went ahead despite torrential rain prior to kick off
Friendly chat? Sir Alex Ferguson with fourth official Phil Dowd and mascot Fred the Red
And with United's passing becoming increasingly sloppy, they continued to push on with force.
Back in action: Shinji Kagawa made his return for United following an injury lay-off
Norwich 3 Man City 4
Star of the show: Edin Dzeko scored within two minutes for Manchester City
Already? Dzeko scored his second early in the match
Game on: Anthony Pilkington scored a free-kick as the sides went in at 2-1
Class: Sergio Aguero lifts the ball over Mark Bunn to make it 3-1
Back in the goals: Aguero wheeled away after his expertly taken goal
Get in: Russell Martin heads home Norwich's second
Spicy: Samir Nasri was red-carded for putting his head against Sebastien Bassong's
Oh dear: Nasri was dismissed just before half-time
Unlucky: Dzeko was deprived of a hat-trick when his shot ricocheted in off Bunn
Squeaky bum time: Martin scored Norwich's third to make things interesting again
Whack: Vincent Kompany slides in on Bradley Johnson
Flying high: Edin Dzeko competes for the ball in the second half
Taskmaster: Roberto Mancini issues some instructions from the touchline
Goalscorers: Aguero and Martin (right) were both among the goals
Sunderland 1 Tottenham 2:
Hot Spurs: Tottenham came from behind to beat Sunderland and move third in the Premier League
Wing wizard: Aaron Lennon grabbed the winner applying a finishing touch to a swift passing move
Adebayor
failed to make the most of Gareth Bale's enterprising fourth-minute run
and pull-back, and Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris was able to collect Craig
Gardner's deflected free-kick with little difficulty seconds later.
Been a while: Sunderland took the lead through John O'Shea's first goal in more than three years
Been a
while: Sunderland took the lead through John O'Shea's first goal in more
than three years reland international, back in the starting line-up
after illness, gleefully swept the ball into the unguarded net.
Miss: Emmanuel Adebayor wasted several chances, most notably when he hit the bar from two yards
O'Neill's
men returned in determined mood and the way Johnson went past Bale
before seeing his cross hacked clear by Sandro might have proved
inspirational.
Thorn: Gareth Bale caused plenty of problems, but was later booked for diving, his fifth caution this season
Spurs
should really have ended the game as contest on the hour when, with the
Black Cats in disarray, Bale, who was later booked for diving, sprinted
from halfway before picking out Defoe in front of goal.
