Crystal Palace were left regretting their missed opportunities and lapses in concentration as a rampant City put three past them. Yaya Toure was the heart of the home side's dominance as he nailed the final nail in the visitors’ coffin. David Silva scored two goals, one assisted by Man of the Match Pablo Zabaleta who was sublime. Palace sitting back to defend, allowed the Argentine to push forward frequently. He could have grabbed a couple but was not clinical in front of goal.
Sharing the top spot with Chelsea, Man City and back at their best. .The Citizens, with their sixth win in a row, are now looking much more like the champions of last season. The chase is on, with Chelsea facing a tough Stoke City side on Monday! Southampton ended their rot, as they managed to beat a hapless and poor Everton side. The Saints fired in three goals, including an own goal from visiting striker Romelu Lukaku. The win now sees the Saints just three points ahead of an Arsenal side who will visit Liverpool in Super Sunday. Everton lie in mid table as their inconsistency continues to derail their progress this season.
They just cannot find their feet away from home, but at Loftus Road you dare not dream. For the QPR is a dangerous animal. It plays as though wounded from their away defeats. A hat trick for Charlie Austin who is proving prolific and has played a hand in 11 of their goals (9 goals, 2 assists) in his last nine appearances for the London side. Form forward. Will their home form be enough to keep them out the drop zone? At this rate they look set for a spell in the Premier League next season as rivals Hull lost to Swansea for a tenth game without a win. A streak that could see Steve Bruce sacked as the side battle relegation. Leicester City, Crystal Palace and Burnley join the relegation battle as their managers continue to feel the heat. Nigel Pearson another under the knife seems to be running out of ideas as the side has lost all the vigor and early season confidence. As West Ham, who find themselves in unfamiliar territories continue to roll on as England internationals Andy Carroll and Stewart Downing scored both goals. They lay just one point behind Manchester United who are third. United drew to a Villa side that could easily had won the game had it not been for a contentious red card for Gabriel Agbonlahor and a horrible last minute decision by Bacuna who failed to find an unmarked Christian Benteke. Young England forward Harry Kane continues to impress as he bagged another goal which helped Tottenham win 2-1. The Premier League top scorer charts sees an unfamiliar trend as two Englishmen grace it in Saido Berahino(7) and Charlie Austin (11).
Goal of the day: Erik Lamela (His first Premier league strike)
