Credit's due to the Villa defender for pretty much passing the ball to Nzonzi, who makes it 1-3 for Stoke before half time Photograph: Michael Regan/Getty Images

As you can see from the empty seats behind the goal, the Villa fans started leaving ten minutes before the game ended. Good thing too – they probably wouldn't have enjoyed this goal from George Cameron who made it 1-4 Photograph: Alex Morton/Action Images

Tottenham v Southampton: it's quite possible that the people residing north of the Watford gap could disagree Photograph: Clive Rose/Getty Images

No pressure then: England manager Roy Hodgson speaks with David Pleat in the stands Photograph: Adam Davy/PA

Rodriguez scores for the third game in a row after 19 minutes to put Southamption 0-1 up. Naughton misjudged the bounce from a goal kick and gifted possession to Rodriguez, who ran the rest of the field to boot it past Lloris to the far post Photograph: Adam Davy/PA

And Southampton extend their lead to 0-2 after 28 minutes. Another entirely preventable loss of possession allowed Lambert to set up Lallana on the right with a close range shot on goal Photograph: Clive Rose/Getty Images

A brace for Christian Eriksen just one minute into the second half evens things up for the home side! For a while there, the game was looking like it was all sewn up for Southampton, but the Swede has brought it back to a level pegging with an entire half left to play Photograph: Clive Rose/Getty Images

After a relatively uneventful second half, Tottenham take the leads two minutes into extra time! A fantastic reversal from 0-2 down. This time Sigurdsson scored a fantastic goal, threading the eye of the needle through three Southampton defenders and the keeper to make it 3-2 Photograph: Adam Davy/PA

Cardiff City v Liverpool Cardiff fans protest outside the ground. They're still not convinced by the change in the club colours Photograph: Ben Hoskins/Getty Images

Midway through the first half the home side took a deserved lead when Robert Snodgrass (obscured) slotted home his fourth goal in seven games Photograph: Scott Heavey/Getty Images

The game was sewn up in the 32nd minute with a sensational 30-yard volley from Alexander Tettey. It was his first Premier League goal for Noriwich and the win means that the Canaries are now seven points clear of the bottom three. Final score: Norwich 2-0 Sunderland Photograph: Chris Radburn/PA

Manchester City v Fulham Football fans snap away Photograph: Michael Regan/Getty Images

Fulham's Fernando Amorebieta fouls Alvaro Negredo in the area Photograph: Paul Ellis/AFP/Getty Images

Negredo's reaction was a bit dramatic though it didn't matter in the end as the referee points to the spot, and Yaya Touré duly despatched the penalty Photograph: Paul Ellis/AFP/Getty Images

Toure, seen here tackling Fulham's John Arne Riise, notched another penalty and a 25 yard stunner for a hat-trick that rounds off an inspirational performance. Late goals by Fernandinho and Martin Demichelis turned City's dominance into a rout. Final score: Manchester City 5-0 Fulham Photograph: Andrew Yates/AFP/Getty Images

Hull City keeper Allan McGregor punches clear under pressure from Thievy Bifouma. His opposite number in the West Brom sticks wasn't as lucky as Shane Long and Liam Rosenior notched to give the home side a win which eased their relegation worries.

West Ham United v Manchester United The Hammer's Andy Carroll has the beating of Phil Jones Photograph: Adam Holt/Action Images

West Ham keeper Adrian can only look on in vain as Rooney's long range shot bounces into the net Photograph: Julian Finney/Getty Images

Rooney got his and United's second just after the half hour mark when his quick reactions enabled him to steer home after Mark Noble's attempted clearance fell to him. That goal put him on 212 and moved him to third in United's all-time goalscorers list. Final score: West Ham United 0-2 Manchester United Photograph: Anthony Devlin/PA
