Super Sunday returned yesterday with two televised games plus a Midlands derby. Arsenal hosted Sunderland in the first of the two games to be televised. They got off to a quick start with Robin Van Persie breaking the deadlock within the first minute to give Arsenal the lead. Sunderland responded just after half hour mark with Larsson equalising via a free-kick. But Arsenal were to win game from a brilliant Van Persie free-kick of his own eight minutes from the end to gain the crucial three points.
The second televised game saw Tottenham travel to St. James' Park. Spurs took the lead five minutesbefore half-time with Van Der Vaart dispatching a penalty. Demba Ba continued his unbelievable Premiership scoring record with Newcastle's equaliser just three minutes after the restart. Spurs re-took the lead after 68 minutes through Defoe but Newcastle again equalised, this time through Shola Ameobi four minutes from the end to continue Newcastle's unbeaten start to the season.
The Midlands derby saw West Brom take on Wolves at the Hawthornes. Despite their decent start to the season, Wolves have receded as of late and West Brom took full advantage. Chris Brunt gave West Brom the lead after eight minutes before Odemwingie sealed the victory fifteen minutes from time.
