Premier League: Saturday's matches – in pictures

West Ham United v West Bromwich Albion Hammers fans tuck into some grub and some cups of Rosy Lee ahead of kick-off. Let hope they didn't dilly and dally in the cafe otherwise they would have missed Joe Cole putting the home side ahead after just four minutes Photograph: Christopher Lee/Getty Images

Two goals from Nicolas Anelka in the last five minutes of the first half put the visitors ahead before a 25 yard curler from Modibo Maiga put the home side back on level pegging before Kevin Nolan hooked a volley into the net to make the Hammers happy again Photograph: Warren Little/Getty Images

Jonas Olsson removes a bandage to check on the after effects of an earlier Carlton Cole challenge. The Swede would have cheered up after 69 minutes when Saido Berahino hammered an outstanding shot across Jaaskelainen and in off the inside of the far post. Final score: West Ham United 3-3 West Bromwich Albion Photograph: Warren Little/Getty Images

Norwich City v Manchester United Looks like Chris Hughton masks featured heavily on Norwich fans' Christmas lists Photograph: Michael Regan/Getty Images

Surely he should be at Upton Park with that act Photograph: John Sibley/Action Images

David De Gea dives and keeps his eye on the ball as Nathan Redmond's shot flies just wide of his left-hand post Photograph: Michael Regan/Getty Images

Just before the hour mark Danny Welbeck pounces on a mistake by the Norwich defence to race clear and take the ball round Ruddy to score his fourth in four league games. Final score: Norwich City 0-1 Manchester United Photograph: Tony O'Brien/Action Images

Hull City v Fulham A Hull City fan gets to the KC Stadium early, though it doesn't look like they are looking forward to the match Photograph: Matthew Lewis/Getty Images

Well that fan would have cheered up early in the second half when Ahmed Elmohamady lashed the ball home to open the scoring before Robert Koren, above, stretched out a leg to double their lead. George Boyd then added a third just after the hour mark Photograph: Ed Sykes/Action Images

After vowing not to have his hair cut until he scored a goal, Tom Huddlestone gets a trim after notching Hull City's fourth. Koren and Matty Fryatt turned the drubbing into a rout and put the Tigers seven points clear of the relegation zone. Final score: Hull City 6-0 Fulham Photograph: Richard Sellers/Getty Images

Manchester City v Crystal Palace There's a fair few fans basking in the Manchester winter sunshine at the Etihad Photograph: Carl Recine/Action Images

Mike Jedinak goes up for the ball with Vincent Kompany and Javi Garcia as the home side dominate the first half but it is the visitors through, Jedinak and Jason Puncheon who come closest to scoring Photograph: Jan Kruger/Getty Images

Edin Dzeko,seen here squeezing a shot past Danny Gabbidon, gave the home side the lead when he fired home a right foot shot for his 50th City goal Photograph: Jon Super/AP

Despite his cut eye, which was caused by a clash with Cameron Jerome, Manchester City's Joe Hart is in inspired form and his fine save from Joel Ward denied Palace an equaliser. The win puts City on top of the Premier League, one point above Arsenal. Final score: Manchester City 1-0 Crystal Palace Photograph: Carl Recine/Action Images

Aston Villa v Swansea City Fans head into Villa Park on a beautiful winter's day in Birmingham Photograph: Richard Heathcote/Getty Images

Gabriel Agbonlahor, seen here causing Jose Canas and Ben Davies no end of trouble, opened the scoring after just seven minutes with a well-taken strike Photograph: Alex Morton/Action Images

From then on the visitors monopolised possession and deservedly equalised in the 36th minute when Roland Lamah headed home at the far post. Final score: Aston Villa 1-1 Swansea City Photograph: Richard Heathcote/Getty Images

Cardiff City v Sunderland This fan's t-shirt seems to sum up events at the Cardiff City stadium Photograph: Adam Holt/Action Images

Seemingly putting all the recent Tan/Mackay debacle behind them, the home side dominated the match with Jordon Mutch opening the scoring in the sixth minute and Fraizer Campbell, seen above going close, doubling their lead when he fired home from 12 yards out Photograph: Michael Steele/Getty Images

Sunderland substitute Steven Fletcher set up a tense finale when he scored from close range with seven minutes to go. Then in the last minute of injury time, a shot by Jack Colback, second right, deflected off Steven Caulker and into the net Photograph: Michael Steele/Getty Images

The final whistle goes and Cardiff City goalkeeper David Marshall is gutted about dropping two points. Cardiff are now two points above the relegation zone and stay four ahead of Sunderland, who stay rooted to the bottom of the table. Final score: Cardiff City 2-2 Sunderland Photograph: Nick Potts/PA
