City dust themselves down and strike back almost immediately. Silva picks the ball up down the inside-right channel, takes a touch to the left, and curls a belter into the top-left corner from 25 yards. That’s as clean a strike as there’s been all season, it was in all the way from the second it left Silva’s graceful boot! Marvellous goal Photograph: Lindsey Parnaby/AFP/Getty Images

The home side think they're back in the game when David Meyler takes the ball down and lashes an unstoppable drive into the right-hand side of the goal from 12 yards out. A stunning finish. Unfortunately he, along with two other tiger-striped shirts, was a mile offside when the initial cross came in from the right Photograph: Jason Cairnduff/Action Images

Hull's George Boyd looks to round the keeper. He runs the ball out of play, and so opts to flop over the keeper’s outstretched leg. It’s a clear dive, though the player claims a penalty. Hart reacts angrily to Boyd's "gamesmanship" and gets in his face big style. Hart is booked though Boyd, who should also be cautioned, for simulation, isn’t.

In the final minute Silva cuts in from the left, then slips a pass down the channel for Dzeko to scamper after. Dzeko takes a touch and hammers a low shot. Final score: Hull City 0-2 Manchester City Photograph: Carl Recine/Action Images

Everton v Cardiff City Just before the hour mark the Everton fans raised the roof when Gerard Deulofeu's deflected shot found the back of the net Photograph: Peter Byrne/PA

The home side's lead only lasted nine minutes as Juan Cala, seen here tackling Kevin Mirallas, equalised for Cardiff when Peter Whittingham's free-kick went in his knee and ribs to give Cala his first Cardiff goal. Photograph: Peter Byrne/PA

The Toffees took all three points during injury time when Gareth Barry headed Aiden McGeady's cross into the path of the on-rushing Seamus Coleman, whose skewed, miscued shot proved perfectly placed. Final score: Everton 2-1 Cardiff City Photograph: Clive Brunskill/Getty Images

Swansea City v West Bromwich Albion Lets hope this young Swans fan didn't dilly dally about outside being photographed otherwise he would have missed Ronald Lamah open the scoring for the home side after 2 minutes Photograph: Tom Dulat/Getty Images

There was second half joy for the visiting fans after Stephane Sessegnon equalised in the 52nd minute and Youssouf Mulumbu put West Brom ahead with five minutes to go Photograph: Steven Paston/Action Images

West Brom's Ben Foster does a sterling job denying the home side try a route back in to the game. Final score: Swansea City 1-2 West Bromwich Albion Photograph: Steven Paston/Action Images

Stoke City v West Ham United Andy Carroll outjumps Stoke keeper Asmir Begovic and Peter Crouch to open the scoring after 5 minutes Photograph: Jan Kruger/Getty Images

Two goals by Peter Odemwingie, right, and one by Marko Arnautovic meant bounced back from conceding that early Carroll goal on to see off the visitors. Final score: Stoke City 3-1 West Ham United Photograph: Dave Thompson/PA

Fulham's Ashkan Dejagah celebrates after scoring, but he'll get a yellow card for taking off his top. Final score Fulham 1-0 Newcastle United Photograph: Steve Bardens/Getty Images

Southampton v Norwich City Daniel Sanchez Ayala stretches out a leg to deny Morgan Schneiderlin a chance to add to his tally after the Southampton player opened the scoring after just 5 minutes Photograph: Christopher Lee/Getty Images

There was plenty of cheering from the Southampton fans as Rickie Lambert and Jay Rodriguez also notched to give the home side a 3-0 lead. However two goals by Norwich's Johan Elmander and Robert Snodgrass in the 85th and 86th minutes meant a tense few minutes for the Soton fans until Sam Gallagher wrapped things up deep in injury time. Final score: Southampton 4-2 Norwich City Photograph: Paul Childs/Action Images

Aston Villa v Chelsea A young Aston Villa fan makes the most of the peace and quiet well ahead of kick-off to catch up on some reading Photograph: Chris Brunskill/Getty Images

Midway through the first-half Willian gets himself in the ref's book when he goes through Karim El Ahmadi. It was a needless yellow card as the player was in the centre circle, going nowhere Photograph: Michael Regan/Getty Images

Aston Villa's Christian Benteke gets stuck in with Chelsea's Gary Cahill and Nemanja Matic Photograph: Andrew Yates/AFP/Getty Images

Another needless foul by Willian, this time on Fabian Delph, earns him a second yellow card followed by a red. Chelsea are down to ten men Photograph: Tony O'Brien/Action Images

With eight minutes to go Fabian Delph slips Albrighton away down the left. Albrighton makes it into the area, then cuts the ball across. The ball’s going behind Delph, level with the left-hand post, but the midfielder dangles his leg backwards and deflects a brilliant effort into the bottom right. What an outstanding piece of improvisation Photograph: Tony O'Brien/Action Images

Chelsea go down to nine men during injury time when Ramires receives a straight red after stamping on El Ahmadi as the Villa man slides in Photograph: Chris Brunskill/Getty Images

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho disagrees with the refs decision and continues to tell him so. The ref eventually has enough and sends Mourinho into the stands. Villa have fought their way to an ultimately much-deserved victory over the league leaders which blows the title race wide open.
