Arsenal 7-1 Blackburn: Arsenal have waited four games for this and boy did they make sorry Blackburn pay. Robin Van Persie began the demolition after just two minutes, although Morten Gamst Pedersen did equalise just after the half-hour mark. Van Persie was on the score-sheet again seven minutes before Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain made it 3-1 with five minutes still play of the first half. If Blackburn's second half task wasn't tough enough, Gael Givet received a straight red two minutes from half-time to just make Steve Kean's team-talk just that bit harder. Mikel Arteta continued Arsenal's rampant mood with the forth just six minutes after the restart. Oxlade-Chamberlain scored his second of the match just three minutes later with Van Persie securing his hat-trick on 62-minutes. Blackburn's embarrassment was completed in injury time with Thierry Henry scoring his first Premiership goal since his return.

West Brom 1-2 Swansea: Swansea leapfrog West Brom after coming from behind to win at The Hawthornes. Marc-Antoine Fortune gave West Brom the lead nine minutes into the second half.
