The two Premier League matches on Sunday ended in 1-1 draws featuring an own goal and a red card as Sunderland drew with Newcastle United at the Stadium of Light while Queens Park Rangers and Everton also drew at Loftus Road.
Sunderland and Newcastle finished all square with Newcastle scoring at the right end through Yohan Cabaye after three minutes and at the wrong end when Demba Ba put through his own net five minutes from time.
QPR went ahead with a brilliant solo goal from Junior Hoilett who scored after an 80-metre run.
Everton equalised after 33 minutes through Sylvain Distin header.
Late on Saturday, Arsenal missed a chance to move into fourth place when they suffered their first defeat at Norwich City since 1984 -- Grant Holt’s goal sealing the first league win of the season for Chris Hughton’s team.
