Hull is starting to make rounds after promotion to the Premier League, this time, drawing Blackburn in a tight game. Jason Roberts smashed the offside trap, the only defensive error Hull made, and slotted the goal home. Richard Garcia, however, equalized after two minutes, giving Hull the draw and the point.
Fulham defender Brad Hangeland fixed Arsenal's first away loss in the season, after 21 minutes. Jimmy Bullard sent in a cross, and the defender poked the ball into the back of the net. Adebayor and Van Persie linked up in offense to no avail, with most shots sent careening wide. With Cesc Fabregas missing from midfield, the Gunners struggled, and it was evident they were unsettled, until the last minute.
Liverpool scraped the 3 points thanks to a late drive from Steven Gerrard. Mido, coming in as a substitute, gave Middlesborough the lead at 70, but Jamie Carragher equalized a few minutes later, with a shot just outside the box. It looked like the game was ending in a draw, until Xabi Alonso clipped the ball to Gerrard, who proceeded to volley the ball to the top corner.
Bolton saw a penalty saved against Newcastle, and paid the price for it. Kevin Nolan's shot went straight to Shay Given, who handled the ball safely. Michael Owen, coming in as a substitute, ended up giving the home side a win, heading in Geremi's cross. Though the game saw bouts of erratic defending and attacking, the home side fought hard to deserve the victory.
Stoke City hosted a dramatic game against Aston Villa, with the home side emerging victorious. Liam Lawrence scored from the spot after a Laursen foul on Delap. Carew, however, equalized after a well set-up play. Ricardo fuller finished neatly, but this again was pulled level by Laursen. Mamady Sidibe gave the ball a touch on the 90th after a throw , denying Villa the point.
Tottenham lost their home match against Sunderland, with the return of Djibril Cisse to the Premier League another success. Dimitar Berbatov was rested, which was a bad decision. Kieran Richardson sent home the ball in the 55th, but Jermaine Jenas equalized soon after. Djibril Cisse gave the visitors the win, after coming on as a substitute, after outmuscling the defenders and sending a powered header into the back of the net.
Everton overcame West Brom in the second half of the game, in which the home side controlled most of possession and chances. Leon Osman , played by Mikel Arteta, rifled a shot for the first, and Yakubu headed a second into a gaping net, defeating Carson to a bouncing ball. It was too late for Bednar's penalty to make a mark, giving the Blues a win.
