Tony Pulis may have departed the club for Crystal Palace, but this is an equaliser that recalls his rough-and-tumble style of play 100%. A simple corner is delivered in and the size and pressing of Stoke’s physical squad allows Peter Crouch to scrap the ball in from close range.

West Brom started this match brightly, but Norwich take the lead through a goal that exemplifies the best qualities of both the goalscorer and creator.

Leroy Fer has sometimes struggled to create chances so far in his debut season in England, but he threads the right positive pass through the defence this time. And who could be more suited to finishing the move than poacher extraordinaire Gary Hooper? It’s his second goal of the season since his move from Celtic.

One of the league’s in-form strikers scores yet again to help propel Man City towards successive away victories for the first time this season.

The cross comes in from the left wing behind Sergio Aguero, and the Argentine does very well to twist his body and fire a solid shot low into the corner of the net.

The hosts face Mexico, after knocking them out of the 2013 Confederations Cup. Croatia and Cameroon aren’t without their share of world talent. Luka Modric and Mario Manzukic provide a potent attacking combination for the Croats, whilst the ageing Samuel Eto'o can still stalk defences at the highest level for Cameroon.

This was a riveting match between two teams who haven’t played riveting football lately. New Fulham coach Rene Mullensteen drilled his team well and let them play with more confidence. After taking the lead, they continued to hassle Spurs and almost equalised with the last action of the match, Kasami striking the post.

Spurs dug in though, and should have scored three or four over the course of the match. Jermain Defoe, Paulinho and Erik Lamela each missed eminently scorable chances, with Defoe’s in particular being wasteful. They may have sold Gareth Bale, but Spurs still like to score thirty-yard screamers…

For a deeper tactical analysis of this Spurs performance, click here.

Two of the league’s in-form teams cancelled each other out and both earned a deserved point. Tottenham will be the happier side, keeping a clean sheet away from home against fierce striker Romelu Lukaku, but it was a game of poor quality and poor refereeing, with neither side creating many clear chances to score. Tottenham had the better of the first half, Everton the second. Not really doing justice to “Super Sunday”, this one…

The most exciting moment came when Lukaku accidentally kneed Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris in the face. Amazingly, Lloris got up unharmed whilst Lukaku had to go off injured.

Norwich’s tired, beaten defenders give Edin Džeko far too much space in the area, and the striker has the ability to turn on a penny and find the bottom corner.

Sergio Agüero, the man who sets up the goal, is ever-so-slightly offside here. The goal shouldn’t have counted. But then with this scoreline, I don’t think it would have mattered…

Really poor set piece defending by Norwich, who can’t get a head to the ball in front of Nastasic despite having a hold of his shirt and the City man barely leaving the ground for his header.
