Premier League Round-Up 28/8/10

Yesterday's lunch-time kick-off saw Blackburn host Arsenal at Ewood Park. Man of the moment Walcott put the Gunners ahead on 2o minutes before loan signing from Manchester United Diouf equalised seven minutes later, thus going into half-time level. Arshavin grabbed Arsenal's winner six minutes into the second to give Arsene Wenger's side seven points out of a possible nine.

The three o'clock kick-offs saw Blackpool gain another Premier League point after drawing with this season's draw specialists Fulham. Zamora gave Fulham a first-half lead but found themselves 2-1 behind thanks to a Pantsil own goal after 71 minutes and Luke Varney put the Tangerines ahead five minutes later. The seasiders were three minutes away from celebrating their first home win in the Premiership but Etuhu gave Fulham their second consecutive 2-2 draw.

Chelsea remained the only Premier League side with maximum points after beating Stoke 2-0. Lampard also had a penalty saved by Sorensen before Malouda gave Ancelotti's team a half-time lead after 32 minutes. Chelsea were awarded a second penalty in the second-half and with Lampard off the pitch after being substituted, Drogba stepped and showed Lampard how it's done.

After Newcastle's 6-0 thrashing over Aston Villa last week, Chris Hughton's side could only muster up a draw away to Wolves. Former Manchester United man Sylvan Ebanks-Blake scored a silky goal two minutes before half-time. After his hat-trick last week, Andy Carroll was on hand to equalise with a bullet header on 62 minutes.

The final three o'clock kick-offs saw the shock result of the day as Wigan beat Spurs at White Hart Lane. Hugo Rodallega scored the only goal ten minutes from time.

The tea time kick-off saw Manchester United host struggling West Ham in a contest that looked to only have one winner. A first half penalty from Wayne Rooney secured the half-time lead in front of the watching Fabio Capello. A solo goal from Nani and a team goal capped off by Berbatov finalised the 3-0 victory for Manchester United.
