Aston Villa 1-0 Manchester City: Villa press and City look dangerous on the break but the home side get the game's only goal from debutant Darren Bent's second touch in a claret and blue shirt
Arsenal 3-0 Wigan Athletic: Ali Al Habsi makes a string of three good saves early in the game but is eventually beaten by Robin van Persie, set up by Alex Song
Al Habsi makes a further string of saves to keep Wigan hopes up but Van Persie loses his marker Gary Caldwell to nab a second goal, his sixth in five games
Caldwell sees red for a professional foul on Cesc Fabregas, conceding a penalty that Van Persie misses spectacularly, though the Dutchman does secure his first hat-trick in England before the end
Blackpool 1-2 Sunderland: With Danny Welbeck injured and Darren Bent departed, Kieran Richardson is drafted up front for the visitors and scores early, played in by Asamoah Gyan
Blackpool are unlucky with the first goal, having Neil Eardley off the pitch, but fail to clear a nothing ball and let Steed Malbranque cruise in to set up Richardson for his second goal
Craig Gordon denies Charlie Adam twice with fingertip saves but can't stop the Blackpool skipper's well-taken, late and slightly fortuitous penalty - the Seasiders have still scored in every home game this season
Everton 2-2 West Ham United: The Hammers start with two up-front, go at the Toffees, and get the opening goal when Luis Boa Morte beats Leighton Baines for pace and pulls the ball back for Jonathan Spector
The Toffees respond to an angry home crowd and Marouane Fellaini's constant physicality in the Irons' box finally brings rewards as his knock down finds Diniyar Bilyaletdinov to equalise
Frederic Piquionne (not pictured) heads in Wayne Bridge's cross late on but emotion gets the better of the striker who dives in to the crowd and picks up a second yellow card
With an extra man and injury time left to play, Everton bombard their visitors, Seamus Coleman goes close, twice, before Fellaini, again, outmuscles the Hammers defence to earn a draw
Fulham 2-0 Stoke City: There's pre-match frostiness between managers Mark Hughes and Tony Pulis but Clint Dempsey is first to Andy Johnson's ball and gets the opening goal in the cold Thameside sunshine
The visitors are reduced to 10 men as Ryan Shawcross brings down Dempsey in the box, the Texan then picks himself up and converts the penalty to double the Cottagers lead
Manchester United 5-0 Birmingham City: Two minutes in and Dimitar Berbatov gets his 16th goal of the season, and won't get an easier one, nodding in John O'Shea's flick-on from Ryan Giggs' corner
Barry Ferguson gives the ball away in the Birmingham half, United break, Berbatov receives the ball in the inside-left position, cuts in and bags his second, United threatening another demolition job at home
It's 3-0 on the stroke of half time as, yet again, the Blues are robbed of the ball, by Berbatov this time, and the Bulgarian exchanges passes with Wayne Rooney who then finds Ryan Giggs at the far post
Berbatov is taking the matchball home after Giggs sets him up for a hat-trick and, though Rooney misses an open goal from two yards, Nani adds a fifth from 20 yards out when Birmingham refuse to tackle the Portugese
Newcastle United 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur: Fabricio Coloccini beats Alan Hutton and slams the ball home in a game that sees a Spurs debut for Steven Pienaar and Gareth Bale substituted with an injury
For all their plaudits this season, there's a touch of route one football about Spurs' injury time equaliser as a long clearance is won by Peter Crouch and Jermain Defoe helps the ball on to Aaron Lennon to score
Wolverhampton 0-3 Liverpool: Fernando Torres gets the only goal of a sub-par first half, Raul Meireles being staying onside and laying the ball on for the out-of-sorts Spanish striker to score from eight yards out
Moments after Dirk Kuyt spurns a one-on-one chance, Meireles provides a true moment of quality in an otherwise forgettable game with a 25-yard dipping volley in to the top corner of Wayne Hennesy's net
Torres gets a second late on, another tap in, to seal Liverpool's first points on the road since a draw at Wigan in November and their first win at Molineux since 1979
