And we’re off.

United are dominant here.

United rip Bolton apart there as Rooney releases Valencia who then squares, but Owen Coyle’s side just scramble it away.

Sunderland having the better of the opening exchanges at the Bridge.

GOAL! Chelsea 1-0 Sunderland

A superb goal from Chelsea! And superb from Torres! A scissors-kick hits the bar, hits Lampard and goes in!

That was exceptional from Torres. You have to feel for him though. That was one of the best things anyone will do all season and he still hasn’t got his name on the scoresheet!

At Old Trafford, Bolton have got a foothold in the game now. Some of United’s early zip gone.

Penalty to United. Welbeck shoved by Zat Knight. Knight is a useless player.

Bogdan saves it! Rooney misses a penalty again!

Rooney misses a lot of penalties actually. How have United changed him?

Bolton probably should be down to 10 and a goal down. Instead they’re level in every sense and still in this game.

GOAL! Tottenham 0-1 Wolves

Potential upset at the lane! Johnson header blocked on the line, but Fletcher reacts first to hammer home the loose ball.

Liverpool struggling against Stoke, not creating much. Odd after Wednesday. Very flat.

Scholes drives it over the bar. Decently hit strike. Too high.

Opta:

Wayne Rooney has failed to score with four of his last eight Premier League penalties. Squander.

RED CARD! Yakubu rakes his studs into Danny Murphy’s knee. That was not nice. And it really isn’t for Steve kean.

Simon Cox close for West Brom. Good for the Irishman to get a start today.

Should have been an equaliser for Sunderland! Sessegnon played a supreme through ball, Bendtner turned… and rolled it just wide!

Bobby Zamora smashes the post at Blackburn!

GOAL! Manchester United 1-0 Bolton

The comeback is complete! Rooney sprays the ball across the box from a break and Paul Scholes is on hand to fire it home!

Half-time at Old Trafford.

GOAL! West Brom 0-1 Norwich

Norwich break away and Andrew Surman volleys in from just inside the area.

GOAL! Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Fulham

Morten Gamst Pedersen fires in a free! He hasn’t done that in a while. Used to be a master at them!

Second halves under way.

Bolton threaten at Old Trafford, blazing over!

Awful finish from N’Gog.

GOAL! Blackburn Rovers 2-0 Fulham

David Dunn with the strike. Blackburn flying.

GOAL! Tottenham 1-1 Wolves

Modric fires home form outside the box, keeper should have saved

GOAL! Aston Villa 1-0 Everton

Stephen Ireland sets up for Darren Bent.

GOAL! Blackburn Rovers 2-1 Fulham

Damien Duff pulls one back after Frei falls over.

Rooney flashes just wide after a fine ball from Valencia.

Spurs dominant now. Surely a matter of time.

Bolton threatening at Old Trafford. You feel United need another goal to make this safe.

Rafael clears it off the line! Again, United not safe!

Rooney challenged in the box just as he’s about to unleash!

GOAL! West Brom 1-1 Norwich

Norwich still haven’t kept a cleansheet this season as Shane Long fires in a penalty!

GOAL! Manchester United 2-0 Bolton

Rooney stretches to poke through to Welbeck who then hits home. Good finish. That’s surely it now.

GOAL! Aston Villa 1-1 Everton

Victor Anichebe equalises for Everton, set up by Landon Donovan.

Liverpool not looking great here at all. Not happening for them.

GOAL! West Brom 1-2 Norwich

Steve Morison puts Norwich into the lead. Holt with the cross and a fine header.

GOAL! Manchester United 3-0 Bolton Wanderers

Michael Carrick curls one in from distance with a low strike. That’s that.

GOAL! Blackburn Rovers 3-1 Fulham

Formica fires past Stockdale after quick Rovers break

This from Philippe Auclair:

Today’s the first time that the Torres who’s been bought fromLiverpool has shown he could be worth the money paid by Chelsea.

FULL-TIME: Manchester United 3-0 Bolton Wanderers

On the edge for a while, but United were cruising once the second in.

Sunderland piling on the pressure at the Bridge. There’s potential for an equalisers here. They’ve really threatened.

FULL-TIME: Liverpool 0-0 Stoke City

Poor performance from Liverpool and another home draw. Liverpool now lead the Premier League in shots off target.

FULL-TIME: Blackburn Rovers 3-1 Fulham

A great result for Blackburn, particularly since they were down to 10 for the majority of the game.
