Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-3 Tottenham Hostpur: With good wins yesterday for relegation rivals West Brom and West Ham, Wolves must chase all three points against Spurs
Harry Redknapp's side may have one eye on their midweek showdown with AC Milan but know they can't let Europe distract them again, as it did against Blackpool, if they are to make the domestic top four
Wolves have the possession, the pressure and the play at the start of the game and make it pay for once this season when Kevin Doyle heads in a cross from Nenad Milijas
Wolves are controlling the game and Tottenham need something special - luckily, Jermain Defoe is on hand to oblige with his first league goal since April 2010, 25 yards out, top corner, unstoppable
Though it was a surprise, Defoe proves his first goal was no fluke as he does the same thing again, similar distance, curled with the instep rather than driven, in to the same top corner of the goal four minutes later
The goals stun the hosts who continue to fight for every ball and take the opportunity to equalise before half time from Doyle's penalty following Alan Hutton's tug on Milijas
Wolves switch off early in the second half, losing the ball in midfield, nobody picking up Jermaine Jenas as he runs at the defence, and three defenders standing off to allow Roman Pavlyuchenko to score a cracker
Wolves stretch for the equaliser - Stephen Ward glances wide, Milijas strikes the post, Sylvan Ebanks-Blake miscues, a penalty shout is turned down and Richard Stearman has a goal ruled out for a foul on Heurelho Gomes
Spurs strike the post themselves through Defoe before Matt Jarvis, involved in all of the hosts' best chances, swings in a cross from the left for Steven Fletcher at the far post to send the ball back past Gomes and in
Liverpool 3-1 Manchester United: The Reds face the league leaders, their historical rivals, on the back of last week's beating at West Ham, their first league loss since Kenny Dalglish's return
Mike Phelan and Sir Alex Ferguson spend Saturday watching upcoming opponentsbut Sunday's concern is the absence of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic through injury and suspension, respectively
Liverpool dominate the opening with a smattering of half chances, though Dimitar Berbatov strikes the home side's post, before Luis Suarez jinxes past three defenders and lays on a tap in for Dirk Kuyt
Kuyt, having never before scored against United, soon has a second as Nani heads Suarez's cross back in to the six yard area by mistake and Liverpool's Dutch forward gladly heads the ball in to an unprotected net
There are the obligatory flashpoints, too, before half time, Nani appearing to make the most of a high tackle from Jamie Carragher while Rafael da Silva reacts to Suarez's bad challenge by going in two-footed on Lucas Leiva
Nani is taken off, there are bookings for Carragher, Edwin van der Sar, Rafael and Martin Skrtel - the Brazilian full back's challenge and the Slovak's shove triggering a 12-man tangle
Berbatov has a header cleared off the line as United come at their hosts in the second half but Van der Sar can't hold Suarez's free kick on 65 minutes and Kuyt is on hand to bag one of the simplest hat-tricks seen at Anfield
Kuyt may take home the match ball but man of the match is Suarez on a day that also sees a debut for new signing Andy Carroll and three-quarters of Anfield singing Happy Birthday to Dalglish, 60 last Friday
There is a late consolation goal from Javier Hernandez but the Red Devils are beaten for the second game in a row though they keep a three-point lead above Arsenal following the Gunners' disappointing draw on Saturday
