After the record goal scoring tally on Saturday Super Sunday only managed five goals to take the weekend's total to 41, which equals the record in a twenty team Premiership season. First to take to the freezing Sunday temperatures was Newcastle as they hosted the out of sorts Chelsea. The run of form looked set continue when Andy Carroll put the home side ahead after just six minutes. However Salomon Kalou managed to steady the Chelsea ship with an equaliser just before half-time. The score finished 1-1 which means Chelsea fail to win in three league games and slump to second for the first time since April.
The second game was at White Hart Lane as Martin Skrtel had an eventful game for visitors Liverpool again Tottenham. It was Skrtel who put Liverpool ahead three minutes before half-time when his initial header from a corner was blocked by teammate Ngog before landing at Skrtel's feet where he poked it past Gomes. After their comeback at Arsenal last week, Tottenham didn't panic and Martin Skrtel equalised for Tottenham after converting a cross into his own net after 65 minutes. Tottenham snatched the three points in injury time thanks to a counter attack that allowed Lennon through one-on-one with Reina and neatly converted it.
