This weekend’s football fixtures proved that this season the teams that are expected to fight it out at the bottom will make a bigger fight of it than a lot of the teams that have gone down over the years.

Stoke City’ home game with Aston Villa would have been on most people’s coupons as an away win banker but Stoke City showed great determination to beat their more illustrious rivals 3-2 with a injury time winner from striker Mamady Sidibe.

Fulham who also are fancied to face a battle this season overcame Arsenal 1-0 in front of the live TV cameras on Sunday with new defensive signing Hangeland grabbing the all important goal although Arsenal were very poor throughout the game and never really got going.

Hull City who as well as Stoke were made favourites for a instant return to the Coca Cola championship battled to a deserved 1-1 draw away at Blackburn Rovers with striker Richard Garcia equalising after Jason Roberts had opened the scoring for Rovers.

The other promoted side to the Premier League West Brom are still looking for their first points of the season after succumbing to a 2-1 home defeat by Everton with Leon Osman and Nigerian hit man Yakubu giving Everton a two goal cushion before Bednar grabbed a last minute consolation from the spot.

The other games had a few surprises with Sunderland’s 2-1 win over Tottenham at White Hart Lane courtesy of Cisse’s debut strike being the biggest with Spurs now rooted in the bottom 3, Liverpool’s two goals in the last 5 minutes in their home game with Middlesbrough made them early pace setters and Newcastle’s late Michael Owen winner gave them a 1-0 victory over Bolton at home.
