Premier League: Saturday's matches – in pictures

Liverpool 1-0 Stoke City With Luis Suárez watching from the stands, it was up to Daniel Sturridge to lead Liverpool's attack and he did just that in the closing stages of the first-half when he accepted a square pass from Iago Aspas on the edge of the area, looked up and took a pot shot through Robert Huth's legs to find Asmir Begovic's bottom corner.

Stoke came back but couldn't make the most of their chances, the best of which came two minutes from time after Daniel Agger handled and the referee, Martin Atkinson, pointed to the spot. So it was up to Liverpool's debutant goalkeeper Simon Mignolet to secure the win for the Reds. Jon Walters stepped up and went for power rather than placement but Mignolet guessed right and dived to beat it away, before recovering in time to block the follow-up from Kenwyne Jones.

Arsenal 1-3 Aston Villa After Olivier Giroud opened the scoring in the sixth minute the home fans must have thought that it was business as usual. However they hadn't reckoned on an organised and determined Villa side. Christian Benteke notched twice, in the 22nd and 61st minutes, to give the visitors the lead before Antonio Luna put victory beyond doubt five minutes from time. Photograph: Toby Melville/Reuters

The Emirates crowd aired their discontent at the performance and the defeat, urging a club who promised them exciting signings to spend on reinforcements. Injuries and suspensions already leave the squad uncomfortably stretched Photograph: Clive Mason/Getty Images

West Ham United 2-0 Cardiff City With the Welsh side playing their first top flight game for 51 years, it turned out to be a day they'd rather forget in a hurry as West Ham proved far too solid, far too professional and far too clinical.

The Hammers's victory was sealed in the 76th minute when captain Kevin Nolan scooped a brilliant first-time shot into the right corner

West Bromwich Albion 0-1 Southampton The visitors seemed to settle quicker and were the better side for most of the contest. Here West Brom's Gareth McAuley clears the ball from the danger area Photograph: Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images

In the last minute Youssouf Mulumbu dragged down Luke Shaw as he burst into the box and the referee pointed to the spot. Up stepped Rickie Lambert, still on a high after his England debut goal, and buried the ball in the back of the net much to the delight of his team-mates and fans Photograph: Michael Regan/Getty Images

Sunderland 0-1 Fulham A fantastic corner from Damien Duff in the 52nd minute found Pajtim Kasami, whose emphatic header powered into the net. In celebration, he sprinted 50 yards to the touchline to hug manager Martin Jol Photograph: Owen Humphreys/PA
