Tottenham 0 -
Stoke 1 (Premier League, October 24, 2009)
Jonathan Woodgate (before he was forced off injured) cleared an
early Stoke attack amazing off his own line, while after Spur when
on the dominate the first half (highlights here) Beattie produced an
equally brilliant goal-line clearance to deny a Peter Crouch
header. Spurs continued to pressure the Potters in the second half
without success, and five minutes from time Stoke completed the
smash-and-grab as Fuller worked magic down the right before teeing
up Glenn
Whelan for a terrific finish into the far
post.
Birmingham 2 -
Sunderland 1 (Premier League, October 24, 2009)
After Alex McLeish had put out the rally call earlier in the week,
St. Andrews erupted ten minutes before the break as Liam
Ridgewell headed in Birmingham’s opener against
the Black Cats. Three minutes into the second half and the Blues
were 2-up, James
McFadden collecting a cute flick from Jerome
just inside the box before the Scot steadied himself and produced
the killer finish. A Scott
Dann own goal set up a nervy finish with eight
minutes remaining as he haplessly volleyed in a Michael Turner
header at the wrong end, but Birmingham held on for the points.
Wolves 1 -
Aston Villa 1 (Premier League, October 24,
2009) Wolves forward Kevin Doyle had an early penalty shout which
came and went, and the hosts had several other chance in the first
half (highlights here) but Aston Villa’s
stingy defence held firm at the break. With 11 minutes remaining
Villa scored, the ball was worked down the right until Heskey fed
Gabby
Agbonlahor in the box with the striker able to
turn his marker and beat Hennessey. The lead was held for just two
minutes though, Kightly won a penalty under a challenge from
Sidwell and Sylvan
Ebanks-Blake made no mistake from the spot.
Burnley 1 -
Wigan 3 (Premier League, October 24, 2009)
Steven Fletcher had given the Clarets a fourth-minute lead when
sliding to meet Blake’s cross, but the Latics were level seven
minutes later as Jensen suffered a nightmare experience as he
stumbled, lost his footing and allowed Hugo Rodallega a simple
finish into an unguarded net. Rodallega grabbed his second of the
match in the 51st minute and Emmerson Boyce added a third in
the 76th minute after Paul Scharner had flicked on at the near
post.
Hull 0 -
Portsmouth 0 (Premier League, October 24, 2009)
Following a grim first half, Pompey turned the screw slightly after
the interval, with Hull goalkeeper Boaz Myhill denying Aruna
Dindane and Hassan Yebda.
