Saturday's matches: Dean Moxey attempts to clear the ball
A resolute performance from the Eagles, demonstrated here by Dean Moxey's attempt to clear Phil Jagielka's diving header, ensured that they kept their first clean sheet of the season and put an end to their seven-match losing streak. Palace were well-drilled and diligent; Everton were disappointingly devoid of inspiration. Final score: Crystal Palace 0-0 Everton Photograph: Nigel French/PA

Saturday football roundup: Rickie Lambert scores Southampton's second goal
Southampton v Hull City Rickie Lambert scores Southampton's second goal of the game from the penalty spot after Hull keeper Steve Harper had brought down Adam Lallana. Lambert has scored every one of the 33 penalties he has taken for Southampton. He played a hand in the opener too when he beat two defenders in an aeriel challenge which enabled Morgan Schneiderlin to head into an empty net Photograph: Sean Dempsey/PA
Saturday's matches: Southampton v Hull City - Premier League
Adam Lallana made it 3-0 when he picked up the ball midway through the opponent's half, drifted to the left, rode the challenge of Curtis Davies and ghosted past Ahmed Elmohamady, before slotting home right-footed past Harper from an acute angle. Yannick Sagbo pulled one back for the visitors in the second half which was the first goal conceded by Saints on home turf since 24 August. Davis added extra gloss to the win with two minutes remaining, thrashing home the fourth. Final score: Southampton 4-1 Hull City Photograph: Mike Hewitt/Getty Images

Saturday's matches: Leandro Bacuna scores from a free-kick

Saturday's matches: Libor Kozak scores
With Cardiff offering little as an attacking force it was difficult to see the Bluebirds getting back into the game, and any faint hopes they had of salvaging something from a mundane match were extinguished when Libor Kozak's close-range header beat Marshall. It was a rare home victory for Villa, only their 11th league win at Villa Park in their past 44 matches and just the seventh since boss Paul Lambert took over as manager at the start of last season. Final score: Aston Villa 2-0 Cardiff City Photograph: Carl Recine/Action Images

Saturday's matches: Ramires of Chelsea is fouled in the penalty box by Steven Reid

Saturday's matches: Chelsea's midfielder Eden Hazard scores a penalty
The net billows from Eden Hazard's penalty and the Chelsea faithful celebrate. No doubt the arguments over whether it was a penalty or not and whether Ramires dived or not will rumble on for a while. Final score: Chelsea 2-2 West Brom Photograph: Ian Kington/AFP/Getty Images
