Cammy Dick's Three Match Round Up

Ten-man Manchester City moved up to second in the Premier League table with a convincing 3-0 win at Southampton on Sunday afternoon.

Despite a goal-less first half and Manchester City defender Mangala being sent off, it was the second half goals from Yaya Toure, Frank Lampard, and Gael Clichy that sealed the win.

Both sides also had great chances to break the deadlock in an evenly contested opening 45 minutes. Southampton’s frontman Graziano Pelle failed to beat City keeper Joe Hart from just six yards out in the opening stages.  A miss that proved costly as Man City took control of the game in the second half with some cool and clinical finishing.

In the end Manchester City move into second place behind Chelsea with 27 points.

Tottenham staged a superb first-half comeback as they came from behind to beat Everton 2-1 at White Hart Lane on Sunday.

Kevin Mirallas put the visitors in front inside the opening quarter of an hour with a stunning curling effort, but Christian Eriksen levelled things seven minutes later before Roberto Soldado completed the turnaround in first-half stoppage time with a cool and composed finish.

In the end Tottenham earned another 3 points, a valuable win that puts them up to 7^th in the table. Man of the Match was given to Tottenham’s striker Harry Kane.

Manchester United beat struggling Hull City 3-0 at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon thanks to goals from Chris Smalling, Wayne Rooney and Robin Van Persie.

After beating Arsenal the previous week, Man U surprised many by changing the successful formation and reverting to a back four.

But that change had no impact on United's fluency as they dominated proceedings right from the kick-off, and it was no real surprise when centre-back Smalling gave them a 16th-minute lead following a Juan Mata corner on the left.

Another two goals followed from Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie who put in a game winning perfromance. In the end United emerged into 4^th place and the Man of the Match was given to Manchester United’s Ander Herrera.
