Tottenham Hotspur striker Robbie Keane and Liverpool forward Fernando Torres stole the show in another pulsating Premier League weekend.The
Spurs striker grabbed four at White Hart Lane in a comfortable 5-0 victory against Burnley, with Jermaine Jenas scoring the other.
Liverpool romped to an equally emphatic 6-1 victory against Hull City. Spaniard Torres grabbed a hat-trick to make it eight goals in seven Premier League matches this season, with Gerrard and Babel (2) scoring the others for the Reds.The major shock of the weekend was produced by
Wigan, who ripped up the form guide at home to Chelsea. Titus Bramble is in impressive form for the Latics, and Hugo Rodallega continues to improve. It was the later who won a penalty that saw Petr Cech receive a red card.
Manchester City kept up their impressive start to the season with a Monday night victory against West Ham United. Carlos Tevez scored a brace, but Nigel De Jong dictated the game from midfield for City.
Manchester United kept up their quest for a fourth successive title thanks to a wonderful cameo from Ryan Giggs. Sir Alex Ferguson unleashed the Welsh wizard with just 35 minutes left at the Britannia, and Giggs produced two assists to see off plucky Stoke.Vito Mannone saved the blushes of
Arsenal with a string of saves in the victory away at Fulham. Robin van Persie grabbed the winner that proved to be rough justice on Roy Hodgson’s side.
Sunderland stormed to victory against Wolves in a game to miss for defensive coaches. The 5-2 scoreline was flattering, but Darren Bent and Kenwyne Jones proved to be a dangerous pair. More misery was heaped on lowly Portsmouth, with Louis Saha grabbing the only goal for
Everton at Fratton Park.
Blackburn ran out winners against Aston Villa despite being reduced to 10-men. Vince Grella was sent-off in the second-half but David Dunn won it with a late penalty, while
Bolton also grabbed victory away at Birmingham, with Chung Yong-Lee grabbing the winner after Kevin Phillips had equalised.
