Manchester City maintained the pressure on Barclays Premier League leaders Manchester United with a comfortable 2-0 victory at home to Fulham.
David Silva scored both goals, the first after only two minutes, to take City to within four points of United, who play Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow.
Liverpool’s good run of form against Norwich City continued with a 5-0 victory at Anfield. Goals from Jordan Henderson and Luis Suarez put the home side 2-0 up at half-time and Daniel Sturridge, Steven Gerrard and a Ryan Bennett own goal kept the result one-sided.
At the other end of the table Reading came from behind to secure their first away win of the season and their first ever at Newcastle United. Yohan Cabaye’s free-kick gave Newcastle a half-time lead but two goals from Adam Le Fondre turned the match around to lift Reading out of the relegation zone.
Queens Park Rangers went bottom after drawing 1-1 with West Ham United. Loic Remy scored on his debut to give QPR the lead but Joe Cole equalised at Upton Park.
Wigan Athletic dropped into the bottom three after losing 3-2 at home to Sunderland at the DW Stadium. The hosts went ahead through David Vaughan’s own goal but a Craig Gardner effort and two goals by Steven Fletcher turned the match around. Angelo Henriquez, the forward on loan from Manchester Untied, scored a header to give Wigan hope but, despite late pressure, they could not find an equaliser.
In the other 3pm kick-off a Jonathan de Guzman double helped Swansea City cruise to a 3-1 win over Stoke City. Ben Davies opened the scoring for the Swans before De Guzman’s brace. Michael Owen’s late consolation for Stoke was his 150th in the Barclays Premier League, only the eighth player to achieve this feat.
