Manchester City 2-1 Everton ( Giorgios Samaras*2, Leon Osman)
Great win for Man City- 3 wins for em on the trot. The first half was rather a dull affair. City employed a 5-3-2 with Richards playing in midfield. Samaras, who has scored 2 all season, scored 2 after coming on as a second half substitute for the disappointing Italian striker Bernardo Corradi.
Middlesbrough 3-1 Sheffield United ( Viduka, Yakubu, Jagielka)

Portsmouth 1-1 Tottenham ( Benjani Mwaruwari, Steed Malbranque)
Pompey didn’t play very well but David James did. Spurs will feel that they missed out on three points here. Hossam Ghaly lost four teeth after he was hit by Pamarot’s boot.

Reading 6-0 West Ham ( Gunnarsson, Stephen Hunt, Anton Ferdinand OG, Kevin Doyle*2, Lita)
Hammering of the day 😛 West Ham were torn apart by an inspired Reading performance and Alan Curbishley rightly criticised his team for lack of hunger.
Liverpool 3-0 Bolton ( Peter Crouch, Steven Gerrard, Dirk Kuyt)
Good result for Rafa’s reds. They matched Bolton in the physical aspect of the game. They dominated the first half and their possession resulted in the floodgates opening in the second half. deja vu Galatasaray for Crouch and Gerrard and Kuyt wrapped things up.
