Norwich city vs Liverpool
Roberto Firmino started the goal scoring in this thrilling encounter in the 18th minute, after some neat set of passes from the Liverpool players, but then, Norwich drew level through Mbokani in the 29th minute, got a 2-1 lead in the 41st minute with new signing from Everton , Steven Naismith, proving to be a instant hit, and while a 2-1 lead is never comfortable in the EPL, Norwich must have thought that they have made it safe by adding a third to make it 3-1 courtesy of a goal from Hoolahan in the 54th minute in the second half.
A minute later, Liverpool got a lifeline from Jordan Henderson in the 55th minute, and in a league where you never say its over until its over, Liverpool got their third goal of the game with Roberto getting his brace, a draw was not enough for Liverpool, and they pushed on to get a 4-3 lead, their second lead in the match after throwing away the first one, the 4th goal for Liverpool came from James Milner in the 75th minute. Norwich city proved their resilience once again, and got their own 4th goal of the game via Bassong in the 90th minute, and while it will be easy for one to think that that would be the last goal of the game, Adam Lallana scored with the very last kick of the game to make sure the match ended in favour of Liverpool, as they won 4-5 at carrow road.
The celebrations after the game was so wild that it cost Liverpool manager klopp his glasses. This victory sees the reds move up to 7th on the EPL log, and they can be hopeful about naking one of the 4 UCL slots.
Leicester city vs stoke city
The foxes are guaranteed to be top of the EPL for at least another 24 hours as they routed stoke city in a one sided match winning 3-0 with Vardy back amongst the goal scorers once again taking his goals tally in the EPL to 16 this season.
Drinkwater gave Leicester city the lead just 3 minutes to the first half break while Vardy got the second in the 66th minute with Ulloa completing the rout in the 87th minute.
Vardy ended his drought in the EPL, this drought stretching as far back as December 14th.
Leicester earned a potentially priceless three points ahead of a difficult period where they play Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal in consecutive games.
Manchester united vs Southampton
THE battle of the Dutch coaches went in favor of Koeman with his wise January transfer market window buy CHARLIE AUSTIN grabbing the only goal of the game, giving the saints two consecutive victories at old Trafford.
United slip five points behind fourth-placed Tottenham, while Southampton move up to eighth, having claimed three consecutive Premier League wins for the first time this season.
A goalless draw seemed inevitable before Austin's accurate finish thrillingly grabbed the bragging rights for Koeman over his old rival Van Gaal after just eight minutes on the field.
Watford vs Newcastle united
Odion Ighalo scored one goal and set up the other to help Watford move to 10th on the EPL log after some recent disappointing matches, 4 straight EPL LOSSES.
Ighalo now has 14 EPL goals, as Watford defeated Newcastle 2-1, setting up Craig Cathcart for the second goal.
After a poor first period Watford took the lead 44 seconds into the second half. Troy Deeney lofted a through-ball in behind for Ighalo, who hit his seventh goal in seven games at Vicarage Road.
Cathcart soon put the hosts in control with the second goal, thrashing home a loose ball in the penalty area, to put Watford on track for a third win against Newcastle this season in all competitions.
Jamaal Lascelles gave Newcastle a route back into the match with a 71st-minute header, but Watford held on to secure their first ever Premier League double
West ham united vs Manchester city
Valencia scored the fastest goal of the 2015/2016 EPL season giving the hammers a 1-0 lead against the citizens in the first minute of the match, but last season's erunners up in the EPL only needed 8 minutes to respond from the penalty spot via kun aguero.
payet was a particular threat for west ham, and joe hart dealt with his goal bound free kick in the first half.
Payet got things ticking for west ham, swiching flanks, and linking up with the full backs and his team mates properly, and something seemed to happen with him on the ball displaying his skills and tricks.
Valencia struck again early in the second half and it looked like that effort would prove decisive until the Argentina international bagged a close-range leveller with nine minutes remaining - his fifth goal in four league matches.
the equalizer for city was down to the fact that pellegrini brought in Nigerian wonderkid kelechi iheanacho, and his combination with aguero upfront gave the citizens a draw. kelechi iheanacho made some good passes when he came on as a substitute and you can expect him to partner aguero upfront in the citizens next match.
Crystal Palace vs Tottenham hotspur
THIS LONDON DERBY was full of goals(all scored by tottenham players) as spurs came out victorious winning 1-3 .
Vertoghen scored in the wrong side of the pitch in the 30th minute, but spurs fought on and levelled matters in the 2nd half by harry kane in the 63rd minute, completed the come back, and still had time to add another goal in the 84th and 90th minutes respectively via chadli and Dele Alli.
Dele Alli scored one of the goals of the season to inspire Tottenham to a 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace
From the edge of the area, Alli received the ball, flicked it over the head of the onrushing Mile Jedinak, and drilled a volley hard and low past Wayne Hennessey.
with this victory, spurs remain 4th on the EPL LOG, and are 2 points behind arch rival arsenal who have a game in hand against Chelsea on sunday.
Sunderland vs Bournemouth
new signing, Afobe gave Bournemouth the lead in the 13th minute, his second goal in as many matches, but sunderland had van aanholt to draw them level in the 45th minute.
Artur Boruc was the busier of the two goalkeepers in the second period, as Adam Johnson, Jermain Defoe and Billy Jones all tried their luck, but the two teams had to settle for a share of the spoils.
It took until the 33rd minute for Sunderland to muster their first effort on target, with Boruc flinging himself to his left to deny John O'Shea a first Premier League goal since December 2013, and Boruc was in action again in first-half stoppage time to claim Fabio Borini's deflected shot from the edge of the box.
