PL Round-Up 1/2/12

Aston Villa 2-2 QPR: The worst recent home form played against the worst away form, so no surprises it finished as draw. It might have different though, Djibril Cisse scored on his debut to give QPR the lead on 12-minutes before Stephen Warnock headed into his own net to make it 2-0 just before the half-hour mark. But Darren Bent brought Villa back into the game just before half-time and Charles N'Zogbia rescued the point 11-minutes from time.

Blackburn 0-2 Newcastle: Blackburn's inconsistent form continues as Newcastle take advantage of Chelsea and Arsenal's slip-ups. Scott Dann returned to Blackburn after a long bout of injury and marked it by scoring an own goal after just 12-minutes. Gabriel Obertan made it 2-0 in injury time to ensure Newcastle of the three points.

Bolton 0-0 Arsenal: What happens when you pit the team with the fewest home goals against the team with the fewest away goals? A goalless draw. Arsenal were wasteful and have wasted a chance to keep in touch with their nearest rivals. Bolton will see this as a big point gained in their battle for survival.

Fulham 1-1 West Brom: The big news yesterday saw Bobby Zamora move away from Craven Cottage. It didn't seem to disrupt Fulham and their talisman, Clint Dempsey, was on hand to give the hosts the lead after 69-minutes. But Somen Tchoyi equalised with eight minutes to play to continue Fulham's inconsistent season.

Sunderland 3-0 Norwich: Frazier Campbell returned to put Sunderland ahead with a fantastic goal on 21-minutes. Stephane Sessegnon made it 2-0 seven minutes later before a Daniel Ayala goal wrapped things up for Sunderland nine minutes into the second half.
