Here is my first review of this weeks premiership action.

Chelsea 5-0 Sunderland
(HT 3-0)
Alex 27
Anelka 30
Anelka 45+1
Lampard 51
Anelka 53

Bookings:
Tainio 39

RatedR`s Review:
No suprises here, the better team won and by quite a margin. At least it wasnt at Sunderland is all I can say. Well, Alex opened the scoring rather late in comparison to other Chelsea 5-0 wins after 27 mins. 3 minutes later Anelka netted one. Tainio got booked almost 10 minutes after that and just as the whistle was about to go, Anelka netted his second. Roy Keane mustn`t have said much at half time because the same thing happened again. Sunderland were caught offguard and 6 minutes into the second half, Lampard netted his first. 2 minutes later, Anelka capped off an amazing day for Chelsea and an amazing day for him as he got his Hat Trick. Amazingly, there were no goals after that.

Everton 1-0 Fulham
(HT 0-0)
Saha 87

RatedR`s Review:
A quiet game until very late when it was chaotic. New signing Louis Saha proved all the difference in this encounter. Fellaini did hit the post for Everton in the 27th minute but they struggled in the first half. Fulham should have scored in the second half but Gera somehow managed to hit his close-range header against the bar. But substitute Louis Saha headed his first goal for the club from Osman's cross.

Carrick 29 Mendy 69
Ronaldo 44 Geovanni (pen) 82
Vidic 57

Bookings: Bookings:
Rooney 84
Tevez 86 Turner 20
Mendy 85

RatedR Review: A tremendous match, probably game of the day. It brought, excitement, passion and most of all, classy football. Ronaldo opened the scoring after just 3 minutes which gave Man Utd a massive boost. Turner got booked after 20 minutes and everything was looking bad for Hull until 3 minutes later, when new signing Daniel Cousin scored to make it level. 6 Minutes later, Michael Carrick struck the back of the net and took the roof off Old Trafford. Ronaldo then scored one minute before half time to give Man Utd the 3-1 advantage heading into Half Time. Phil Brown gave Hull a good talking to and it showed. But 13 minutes later, Nemanja Vidic netted one and gave Man Utd a massive 4-1 lead. With 21 minutes left, Mendy pulled one back for The Tigers to make it 4-2. With just 8 minutes remaining, Man Utd gave away a penalty and Geovanni scored to make it 4-3. As things were getting heated, Rooney got booked two minutes later and Mendy got booked a minute after that. Tevez got booked just after that and the whistle blw, ending a terrific match.

RatedR`s Review:
This match was very entertaing and Wigan managed to win once again via magic man, Amir Zaki. Luke Cattermole got booked after just 18 minutes and Titus Bramble got booked about 20 minutes later. Just before half time, Portsmouth gave away a penalty and Zaki scored. 4 minutes into the second half, Figueroa got booked. With just 8 minutes left in the game, Kranjcar scored and got the southeners level with the northerners. However, 2 minutes into stoppage time, Emile Heskey scored to give Wigan the well deserved victory.

RatedR`s Review:
All I can say is WOW, a massive upset and this is gonna hurt Arsenal for months to come. Arsenal did a lot of time wasting which made the match a lot longer than expected. Stoke quickly got underway and shockingly opened the scoring in the 11th minute with Ricardo Fuller. Arsenal were frustrated and 5 minutes before Half Time, Adebayor got booked. Almost 15 minutes after half time, Higinbotham was booked. 4 minutes later, Sidibe was booked. With 17 minutes left, Stoke doubled their lead and the crowd went wild as Olofinjana slotted it past Almunia. Arsenal couldn`t hold their agression in as Van Persie got sent off just three minutes later. 1 minute into stoppage time, Rory Delap got booked and three minutes after that, Gael Clichy scored to pull one back for the struggling Arsenal. Cresswell and Fabregas both got booked just before the whistle went, 9 minutes into stoppage Time!

Tottenham 2-1 Liverpool
Carragher o.g. 70 Kuyt 3
Pavlyuchenko 90+1

Bookings: Bookings:
King 75 Gerrard 45+1
Carragher 67

RatedR`s Review:
This game had a lot of twist and turns in it but no one would have guessed this outcome. Dirk Kuyt opened the scoring after just 3 minutes. Just before half time, Liverpool Captain Steven Gerrard got booked. 22 minutes into the second half, Liverpool vice-captain, Jamie Carragher got booked, Things went from bad to worse for Carragher as 3 minutes later, he scored in the wrong goal and gave Spurs the equalizer. Five minutes later, Ledley King got booked for Spurs. With time running out, new signing Roman Pavlyuchenko got the winner in stoppage time and gave Harry Redknapp his 2nd win as Tottenham Hotspur boss. Great Drama.

RatedR`s Review:
Rovers deserved the win and they might have got it if they didnt get McCarthy sent off. After just 13 minutes, West Brom gave away a penalty and Benni McCarthy slotted it home. 6 minutes later, McCarthy got booked. With 9 minutes left in the first half, MCarthy got his second yellow and got sent off. 4 minutes later, Donk got booked for West Brom. 10 minutes into the 2nd half, Roman Bednar scored and made it 1 a piece. 7 minutes later, Miller scored for West Brom and gave them the 2-1 lead. 6 minutes later, Zuiverloon got booked and with 11 minutes left, Borja Valero got booked aswell. With one minute remaining, Andrews got the goal that quieted the West Brom fans down and sent Blackburn fans home happy. Khizanishvili got booked two minutes into stoppage time.
