Villa had not scored away in over 10 hours
FT: Arsenal 3-0 West Ham (Giroud, Ramsey & Flamini)
FT: West Brom 1-0 Stoke (Ideye)
FT: Leicester 0-0 Hull, Palace 3-1 QPR
Chance! Again it's Theo Walcott who burns past the Hammers defence to collect Aaron Ramsey's slide-rule pass, but once more he takes his time in getting a shot away and can only clip it straight at Adrian.

"That was an absolute sitter, all he had to do was side-foot it in. It all came about from a bad kick-off by Pantilimon. What a chance, that could almost have sealed it at 3-0."
Championship: Brentford lead against Cardiff through Andre Gray's tap-in after Alex Pritchard's 30-yard free-kick was parried into his path. Huddersfield have equalised at Birmingham with Joe Lolley scoring.
League Two: Leaders Burton Albion have gone ahead in their home match versus Accrington. Damien McCrory converted a penalty after Accrington's Rob Atkinson handled in the area.
What a miss. Shocking from Scott Sinclair as he blazes over from four yards following a lovely run by Leandro Bacuna who is having a terrific game. Sinclair has his head in his hands. The Villa man knows that should have been 3-0.

"Jack Rodwell's galloped around a little bit, but he is still trying to make his mark in the Premier League. At Everton I thought he was set for great things but his injuries have set him back."
League One: Luke James's first league goal in 26 appearances has put Peterborough ahead in their game against fellow play-off contenders Doncaster. It is looking easy for Preston, who lead 2-0 at home to Crewe.
League Two: Stevenage could move into the play-offs today with a win and they have made a good start as they lead 1-0 at Cambridge after Dean Wells's goal. Elsewhere, Dagenham and Redbridge are level at 1-1 against Southend, with AFC Wimbledon and Bury leading 1-0 in their away matches at Exeter and Mansfield respectively. However, AFC Wimbledon are down to 10 men as Dannie Bulman has been sent off after only 25 minutes.
Stoke's defence is coming under relentless pressure. It's all West Brom as another corner is only half cleared and Darren Fletcher lashes the ball...into the crowd.
David Goodman: Time to check the odds on Sunderland being managerless by the end of the day.
Aaron Ramsey gets a lovely cross in from Calum Chambers but it's at an awkward height - he doesn't know whether to head or volley and in the end knees the ball on goal which Adrian pushes over the top.
Ball in the net for Hull - and it is Nikica Jelavic at it again! He taps home after goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer drops a cross but the referee had given a foul against Dame N'Doye - doing his best Nat Lofthouse impression.
The locals are not happy. Groans ring around the Stadium of Light as another Sunderland move breaks down. It's like Christmas for Villa's travelling fans who have witnessed two away goals. The visitors are well on top.

One of the best misses you're ever likely to see by Jelavic. I say best as it was against Leicester...it is a beauty though.
Image source, PAHull having a good spell still, though they really should be 1-0 up. If Leicester lose this afternoon you'd really fear for them.

"It's amazing how a season can change so quickly, and Villa are playing with a lot of confidence. There's real tension with the Sunderland players, and that second goal was a gift. That was very ordinary defending from Sunderland."
Chris Clarke: Arsenal totally bossing West Ham....I await the Hammers taking the lead from a set piece.
Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew: "Steve Coppell would be proud. We are famous for wingers here and there was none better than Yannick Bolasie and Wilfried Zaha today.
"I've been being the nasty teacher to them this week telling them to get in the box.
"I just thought we were very good. We were unlucky in the second half as we lost Jason Puncheon and Zaha.
"I don't think I have ever seen a better goal than we have seen (from Matt Phillips) at this place. Ironically, it was from the opposition. That was a special goal."
It's been all Arsenal so far but West Ham create a really good opportunity with their first proper attack. Matt Jarvis gets clear on the left, he cuts it back deep to the edge of the box and Kevin Nolan strokes in a side-footed volley which David Ospina rather unknowingly pushes out.
Geoff Ramm: Taxi for Poyet...and please collect Laudrup at Newcastle Airport whilst you are there.

"I have a problem with the Stoke defender Phil Bardsley. If I was the striker I would be delighted that that he has just given me the ball. There is no way that Brown Ideye should get away from him."
You've got to score! What a chance for Hull and Nikica Jelavic. A ball is popped over the top, Ahmed Elmohamady side-foots it square when he could have had a shot and Jelavic kicks the ground. A tap-in.
