The tenth round of the English Premier League season got underway with Saturday’s early match between Manchester United and Spurs at the Old Trafford, a tussle between the second and third placed sides, though Spurs started the game without their high scoring talisman Harry Kane due to injury. In a game where the 2 sides generally cancelled each other out, United claimed the points with a 1-nil victory courtesy of Anthony Martial’s 81st minute winner.
In Saturday’s later games, Crystal Palace hosted West Ham at Selhurst Park, and fell 2-nil behind to goals from Javier Hernandez and a fine Andre Ayew, individual effort by the visitors, before second half goals from a Luka Milivojevic penalty given for a foul on Andros Townsend by Angelo Ogbonna, and an injury time equaliser from Wilfried Zaha when West Ham should have retained the ball rather than give it away, left both sides with a point from a 2-all draw.
