    Boss Manuel Pellegrini believes Sergio Aguero has the attributes to be as important to Manchester City as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are to Real Madrid and Barcelona.

    "I always say Sergio Aguero has all the conditions to be one of three four most important players in the world. He's an incredible player. He scored four and could have scored two or three more. We are trying to convince him to play the way he did today always."

    Nene Odonkor:, external Will Jose Mourinho play three at the back or play a 4-4-1? Trouble is, who does he substitute?

    Luke:, external Gary Cahill and Cesar Azpilicueta with two shocking challenges in as many games for Chelsea. Are the coaching staff teaching this?

    Abdul Said:, external What is going on with people here on Arsenal? They will surely come back stronger and score the winning goals.

  4. Manager reactionpublished at 15:57 British Summer Time 18 October 2014

    Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini, as you would expect, was pretty smug about his side's thumping win against Spurs.

    "It's a very good victory for us," said the Chilean. "It's always difficult to come back from international break.

    "We played well, we scored four goals and I don't know how many chances we had."

    George Harrold:, external Ronald Koeman's transfer policy and reinvestments look fantastic. Excellent business skills. Maybe he should be on The Apprentice?

    Peter Collins:, external Ok, so at the Etihad it was penalties galore. At Selhurst, red cards galore. Can we get a couple more own goals at St Mary's now?

    Tristan Hood:, external A year ago Everton v Aston Villa would have been about the battle of the big Belgian strikers but both have been poor so far.

    "Everton fully deserve their first half advantage. Goodison Park is in subdued mood but that may just be because that first half was very comfortable for the home team."

    Final Score

    "It was a brilliant turn from Loic Remy to get away from Damien Delaney. On the immediate turn Delaney puts his hand on Remy, there is not a lot of contact but then all of a sudden Remy goes over because he sees defenders coming in on the side of him. And then the referee has no option, because of the initial pull. Delaney knows he has pulled him but Remy takes advantage of the situation and goes over."

    "This game has been brilliant. I have seen Chelsea's opponents behave as if they're already beaten once they fall behind. That's certainly not been the case today.

    "The referee has had a running battle for half an hour. As far as Delaney, as soon as Remy span past him and he was turned he was having problems."

  11. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:49 British Summer Time 18 October 2014

    MOTD's Jonathan Pearce at St Mary's

    "Three nil to the home side. Santiago Vergini's own goal put the skids under Sunderland. Then Graziano Pelle scored the second and his sixth of the season. The referee may have given a penalty to change the complexion but Jack Cork's goal moments later gives Sunderland a very uphill task.

    "Southampton's midfielders have been more comfortable and better in possession throughout."

  12. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:49 British Summer Time 18 October 2014

    MOTD's John Motson at Emirates Stadium

    "With all their possession, Arsenal might feel that they shouldn't being going in at half-time level with Hull. There's still a feeling of injustice around the place about the Hull equaliser and it's not been quite the afternoon Arsene Wenger would have been expecting. That said, Hull have not been helping by having to replace their goalkeeper."

  13. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:48 British Summer Time 18 October 2014

    MOTD's Simon Brotherton at Goodison Park

    "Everton deservedly lead at half-time, albeit by only 1-0 after Phil Jagielka headed in from Leighton Baines's delivery. Aston Villa, as has often been the case this season, have rarely threatened despite the presence of Christian Benteke in their starting line-up for the first time this season."

  14. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:47 British Summer Time 18 October 2014

    MOTD's Guy Mowbray at Selhurst Park

    "The half-time whistle is greeted by boos from the Palace fans. It's 1-0 Chelsea but 10 against 10. All the fun of the fair.

    "Palace have had chances while Chelsea have played some lovely football but the talking points are two red cards - with no real arguments for either."

    "Sean Dyche must feel that his side deserve to be in front after creating the best of the chances in the first half, and he has to keep the heads of his players up because they may well yet get their first home win here.

    "Lukas Jutkiewicz and Danny Ings are combining well for Burnley up front while George Boyd has also caught the eye. West Ham manager Sam Allardyce knows his side must improve in the second half."

    Andrew Kemp:, external Referees cannot stop trying to get their names in the paper. Poor decisions in the early game as well as at Palace.

    AKarim:, external Southampton are showing rest of Premier League how to sell and spend well. Really pleased for them.

    James William Dingle:, external Just wondering, is that huge stack of cash in the bank at Arsenal able to keep a clean sheet? No? Arsene knows, apparently...

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:45 British Summer Time 18 October 2014

    Now Steve Harper is showing his age (see 15:10). The Hull keeper drops to the ground in pain - although it is not entirely clear why - and has to be replaced by Eldin Jakupovic. The Bosnian is Steve Bruce's third-choice keeper and is making only his second Premier League appearance. Can Arsenal bombard him before the break? Three minutes of stoppage time...

    "Palace have always been in this game, even when it was 11 versus 11. But now with Delaney, the referee was left with no option. This game is being played with such passion and there's spiciness between the two sets of players."

  19. RED CARD FOR DAMIEN DELANEYpublished at 15:42 British Summer Time 18 October 2014

    Crystal Palace's man advantage doesn't last long as Damien Delaney is given his marching orders for a second bookable offence. The defender hauls back Loic Remy in full flow, despite having a number of covering defenders around him, and pays the price. Moments later, Nemanja Matic goes close for Chelsea. It's 10 v 10 now.
