Manchester United dominated the first-half but it was in the second period, after the Mancunians had lost Nicky Butt, from an already bare-bones line-up that the game was won. Kewell nodded in an Ian Harte cross in the 67th minute. Man Utd's Premiership challenge is already in tatters.

West Brom too, are enjoying life in the Premiership. They won at Southampton though they can thank some comedic keeping from Paul Jones as he let a speculative effort from Sean Gregan fly past his flapping form.

Middlesbrough's run of good form faded at Goodison Park as Everton ran out 2-1 winners despite going behind in the 11th minute to a Szilard Nemeth goal. Skipper Kevin Campbell's double in the 32nd and 77th minute won the game for David Moyes' side.
