Premier League Saturday: QPR v Stoke, Aston Villa v Arsenal. Burnley v Sunderland, Newcastle v Hull, Swansea v Southampton and West Ham v Liverpool
QPR salvage a draw but Liverpool can't prevent consecutive defeats
Queens Park Rangers salvaged a 2-2 draw in the day's early game as Niko Krancjar's late free-kick saw the points shared at Loftus Road, with Stoke City letting the lead slip twice.
Following the duel in London, we turned our attentions to four games across the UK as Aston Villa were blown away by three Arsenal goals in three minutes and 12 seconds, Burnley held Sunderland to a drab goalless draw, Hull let a two-goal lead slip as Newcastle gave Alan Pardew hope of saving his job and 10-man Swansea saw Wilfried Bony sent-off and succumbed to a 1-0 defeat to Southampton.
In the day's final match, Liverpool were unable to prevent posting back-to-back defeats following last weekend's loss to Aston Villa, as a brilliant West Ham performance saw the Reds suffer a 3-1 reverse at Upton Park.
Keep up to date with the latest action as the goals go in.
