Premier League: Wednesday's matches – in pictures

Liverpool v Sunderland The red's new signing Daniel Sturridge takes a seat in the stand to check out his new team-mates. The striker said "I've signed to be here for as long as possible. It's a humongous club – for me, one of the biggest in the world – and to have the fans and world-class players we have here is amazing...With Luis [Suárez], Raheem [Sterling] and the other players that are here, it's going to be great for myself and I'm sure we'll connect well together. We all have similar attributes, so hopefully we'll be able to create a few nightmares for defenders." Photograph: Phil Noble/Reuters

Midway through the first half the two players that Sturridge mentioned combine to open the scoring. Raheem Sterling is put clean through by a long ball from Luiz Suárez and he lofts the ball over Simon Mignolet and into the net Photograph: Chris Brunskill/Getty Images

With twelve minutes to go Oscar only half-clears a corner and Adel Taarabt rolls the ball invitingly for Shaun Wright-Phillips who hits a beautiful first-time right-footed drive from outside the area that flies into the bottom left corner Photograph: Nick Potts/PA

Cue delirium amongst the QPR players and fans though the celebrations of Wright-Phillips, a former Blues player, are somewhat muted. Final score: Chelsea 0-1 QPR Photograph: Andrew Matthews/PA

Newcastle United v Everton Demba who? Papis Cisse proves that Newcastle still have a striker of note when he takes advantage of confusion in the Everton defence to nod Tim Krul's hoof over Tim Howard to give the Magpies the lead after just 90 seconds Photograph: Ian Horrocks/Newcastle Utd via Getty Images

Just before half-time Leighton Baines makes amends for letting Cisse get past him to score, when he smacks a swerving free kick that flies past Krul to give Everton the equaliser that they deserve Photograph: Owen Humphreys/PA

Both sides are going for it as Everton look to add a third and Newcastle search for an equaliser. Here John Heitinga eats dirt after challenging a flying Nile Ranger, but neither side are able to add to their tally. Final score: Newcastle United 1-2 Everton Photograph: Nigel Roddis/Reuters
