The big surprise of the afternoon was Chelsea's defeat to Wigan Athletic, who made history by recording their first victory against a top four side since their promotion to the Premier League. The turning point was the sending off of Petr Cech after he brought down Hugo Rodallega, who duly converted the penalty before Paul Scharner made sure of victory by adding a third in the final minute.
Is this a mere blip for Chelsea? Meanwhile, the evergreen Ryan Giggs turned the game for United as he leapt off the bench to pick the lock in Stoke's defence for Dimitar Berbatov's second-half goal before John O'Shea scored a game-sealing second.
Elsewhere, Fernando Torres has been prolific for Liverpool since Rafael Benítez criticised the Spaniard's attitude when dealing with physical defenders little over a month ago. Was his hat-trick today further proof that perhaps Benítez is a better man-manager than many would give him credit for? Phil Brown may have saluted the Hull fans who sang his name as his team were capitulating at Anfield, but isn't it time he put those supporters out of their misery and left the KC Stadium?
Robbie Keane bested his former team-mate by rattling four past Burnley, who look a different team to the one that beat Man Utd and Everton at Turf Moor when they are on their travels.
