It was obvious looking at last weekend's Premier League fixture list that Sunday's line-up featured the more appetising encounters, and that was most certainly the way it turned out, with some absolute thrillers amongst the five fixtures. 19 goals, 3 red cards, five injury time strikes and controversy galore, together with two of the most striking scorelines we will witness this season, all combined to provide a cracking afternoon's entertainment.
