football: Manchester United v Newcastle United - Premier League
Javier Hernández had a last gasp strike disallowed against Newcastle as Manchester United were held to a draw at Old Trafford. The Mexican had already given his side the lead before Newcastle struck back with a controversial penalty. Replays suggested Rio Ferdinand had won the ball cleanly from Hatem Ben Arfa and Ferdinand was so angry he later tweeted that he felt like "nutting his steering wheel on the way home". Tim Krul was heroic in the Newcastle goal after Jonás Gutiérrez was sent off. Final score: 1-1 Photograph: Matthew Peters/Man Utd via Getty Images
football: Chelsea  v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Premier League
The pressure on Chelsea manager André Villas-Boas was relieved with a routine victory over Wolves achieved with three first half goals, including this one from John Terry in the seventh minute. Daniel Sturridge and Juan Mata also scored as the Blues climbed to fifth in the table. Final score: 3-0 Photograph: Darren Walsh/Chelsea FC via Getty Images

Arsenal's Thomas Vermaelen scored at both ends as the Gunners were held to a draw at home to Fulham. Vermaelen's goals in the 65th and 82nd minutes ensured a deserved share of the points. Final score: 1-1 Photograph: John Sibley/Action Images
football: West Bromwich Albion v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League
Tottenham Hotspur's Emmanuel Adebayor scored twice as his side edged past West Brom at the Hawthorns. His second goal came three minutes into injury time after West Brom had pressed valiantly but unsuccessfully for an equaliser. Spurs now sit third in the table, two points behind Manchester United.

football: Stoke City v Blackburn Rovers - Premier League
Peter Crouch helped Stoke to victory over struggling Blackburn. His was the third goal at the Britannia Stadium, though the best was arguably Blackburn's consolation goal scored by Ruben Rochina four minutes from time. Blackburn are rock bottom of the table on seven points. Final score: 3-1 Photograph: Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images

Sunderland manager Steve Bruce suffered a home defeat against his former club Wigan as Franco Di Santo netted in injury time. Sunderland had led through Seb Larsson in the eighth minute before a penalty pulled Wigan level just before the interval. Final score: 1-2 Photograph: Lee Smith/Action Images

Norwich saw off fellow promoted side QPR thanks to Grant Holt's 73rd minute winner. Holt had only joined the action three minutes earlier as a substitute. Final score: 2-1 Photograph: Paul Childs/Action Images
football: sport
Goals from Marouane Fellaini and Apostolos Vellios heaped misery on Bolton, who remain starnded in the relegation places. David Wheater was sent off for Bolton after only 20 minutes for a challenge on Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, giving the home side a thankless task.
