Liverpool vs West Brom Highlights: EPL Highlights
Striker Fernando Torres may still not be at his lethal best but he underlined his quality and importance to Liverpool – with a brilliant strike to defeat 10-man West Brom at Anfield.
Two knee operations at the back-end of last season and a late return from the World Cup have impacted on the 26-year-old’s fitness and match sharpness. But a clinical strike midway through the second half his first Premier League goal since March 28 and 50th at Anfield in all competitions, proved too good for promoted West Brom.

Sunderland vs Manchester City Highlights: EPL Highlights
Darren Bent’s extra time penalty condemned Manchester City to their first defeat of the season as a glaring miss by Carlos Tevez proved to be very costly.
The Sunderland striker converted the spot-kick in the fourth minute of added time to snatch all three points from the visitors after being hauled down by Micah Richards in front of goal.
Bent’s strike was the Black Cats’ reward for a spirited second-half fightback after Tevez had let them off the hook with an astonishing early miss.
The Argentinian fired high over an open goal after being played in by Yaya Toure, and the visitors were made to pay as the points slipped away.

Three goals also came in four first-half at the Weser Stadion, the hosts taking the lead with a penalty from Torsten Frings in the 33rd minute before Arnautovic doubled their advantage three minutes later.
Lukas Podolski equalised within 60 seconds, but Bremen were always in control and added two more goals from Hugo Almeida and Arnautovic in the second half.
Kevin McKenna grabbed a late consolation for the visitors.

Manchester United vs West Ham Highlights: EPL
Fabio Capello should have heaved a sigh of relief as Rooney managed to score his first goal since March and Manchester United kept the pressure on both Arsenal and Chelsea at top as they beat West Ham 3-0.
Rooney netted from the spot in the first half after Jonathan Spector’s poorly timed tackle on Ryan Giggs. While Nani was nowhere to be seen for the spot-kick after last weeks miss, the Portuguese winger cut inside brilliantly to fire United’s second, before Dimitar Berbatov’s maintained his goal scoring streak with an agile finish from his cross sealed the points.
