Arsenal scored a late winner after they appeared to be heading for a draw against an off form Hull City side who were down to ten men for more than half the match.
Andrei Arshavin continued his good run of form to give the Gunners the lead but Sol Campbell was adjudged to have brought down Jan Vennegor in the box and Jimmy Bullard duly put away the spot kick with aplomb.
The Emirates side then bombarded the home side who had George Boateng sent off for an awful challenge on Bacary Sagna. Nicklas Bendtner then popped up with a crucial winner in the dying moments to further strengthen the north London sides push for the Premier League title. The Dane tucked away the winner after Boaz Myhill could only palm away a terrific 30 yard effort from Denilson.
Everton made light work of a struggling Hull City side and could even afford the luxury of a Yakubu penalty miss as they ran riot at Goodison Park. Having defeated Man United and Chelsea in recent weeks David Moyes saw his side lose at White Hart Lane but may feel that this win at home to the Tigers could get their faint hopes of a Champions League spot back on track.
A Mike Arteta brace saw the Toffees go in at the break 2-1 up but then Moyes saw his side move up a gear to easily overcome a Hull side in the middle of a relegation dogfight.
Goals from Landon Donovan and Jack Rodwell and an own goal from Richard Garcia saw Everton home in impressive fashion and leaves the Merseyside outfit to within eight points of fourth spot.
West Ham secured a priceless win at Upton Park over fellow relegation candidates Hull City. Valeron Behrami scored an early opener for the Hammers and Carlton Cole continued his return from injury with a second and Julien Faubert scored a third in the dying minutes.
Hull City pulled off a marvelous win out of the bag at the KC Stadium. Goals from Jozy Altidore and George Boatend helped Phil Brown past a poorly performing Manchester City side.
A fantastic quartet from Wayne Rooney was enough to see Manchester United see off Hull City at Old Trafford. Tigers keeper Boaz Myhill was in good form to keep his side in the game after Sir Alex Ferguson’s side had taken an early lead and Rooney scored three late goals to complete the rout.
Two goals from Hull City midfielder Stephen Hunt put yet more pressure on under fire Bolton boss Gary Megson. Having moved into a seemingly unassailable lead through Bolton strikers Kevin Davies and Ivan Klasnic the Reebok crowd were annoyed by the manager’s decision to withdraw the Croatian international just after Hunt scored the first of his brace. The decision left the home side trying to play out the game and hoping to cling on to a result rather than trying to put the emphasis on attack, it was a decision that back fired and handed the visitors a crucial point in this relegation battle.
Manchester United edged into the lead against a resilient Hull City side at the KC Stadium. After a hard fought first half where either side could have and should have scored, with Manchester United keeper Thomas Kuszczak pulling off the best save of the match, Wayne Rooney cleverly ghosted in to ram home a Darren Fletcher cross.
Rafael then brought down Jozy Altidore to give Hull City a penalty that Craig Fagan duly dispatched. Manchester United were then grateful for some more great play from Wayne Rooney, making up for the mistake that led to Hull’s penalty, who forced an own goal from Andy Dawson.
Rooney then turned provider to exquisitely find Dimitar Berbatov with a deft pass that the Bulgarian gleefully put away.
Liverpool Midfield Marvel Gerrard, Arsenal Skipper Fabregas, Tottenham Winger Lennon, Chelsea Striker Drogba, Manchester United goal machine Rooney, West Ham hit man Cole? You decide!
Jimmy Bullard, football’s answer to Norman Wisdom, etched his name on Hull City folklore with this hilarious celebration. On scoring against Man City he decided to orchestrate a celebratory homage to Phil Brown’s very public halfway dressing down of his team at half time after a shocking display at the City of Manchester Stadium last season.
