[jonahjones]

Robert Koren quickly takes advantage of the 'Boro red card to make it 3-0.

Manchester United are still struggling to break down Bolton at the Reebok.

If the scores were to remain as they are, Spurs would be rock-bottom this evening.

Manchester United are still struggling to break down Bolton at the Reebok.And long may that continue as I lumped on the draw at 3/1

Had Blackburn (6/5), sheff wed (11/10) and Man city (8/11) in a treble, Glad City managed to hang on and a big thank you too zaki for missing his open goal. :D

[jonahjones]

Despite United and Chelsea scoring late goals, I feel that Villa are currently the luckiest team.

Their last five domestic away games have been won by a one goal margin courtesy of two own goals, two penalties that never were** and the ultimate of smash and grab raids at Goodison Park.

To make things worse, Sunderland apparently had a blatant penalty for handball turned down late on.

**I reserve judgement on the penalty awarded today as I haven't yet seen it but all reports point to the fact that the challenge was outside the box.

Well done mate. :)

I know it is cliched but Zaki's miss has been described as the "miss of the season!"

[jonahjones]

And long may that continue as I lumped on the draw at 3/1

Southgate is a lucky man to still have a job I reckon...that friendship with Gibson is going to be tested over this next week I think. My brother-in-law is a big Boro fan and most want him out...for Tony Mowbray! :D

Samir Nasri restores Arsenal's lead with eight minutes left.

Niklas Bendtner seals it for Arsenal though Nasri was clearly offside in the build-up.
