Arsenal 4-1 Liverpool Referee: Anthony Taylor
Taylor has drawn the ire of Liverpool fans this season (specifically in the Chelsea game in November), but today they had no gripes with Taylor, who was very strong in the game.
76th Minute: Héctor Bellerín gets both ball and man in a challenge on Raheem Sterling in the box. Taylor correctly awards a penalty and Jordan Henderson stepped up to give Liverpool their only goal of the game.
84th Minute: Emre Can comes in with a late challenge from behind on Danny Welbeck. Good decision to issue a second yellow by Taylor.
Swansea City 3-1 Hull City Referee: Andre Marriner
Marriner shook off recent struggles to have a good game in an important match for Hull.
53rd Minute: Hull's David Meyler goes into Kyle Naughton's shin with his studs up. Marriner correctly shows a red card to Meyler for endangering the safety of an opponent. Nice work by Marriner.
Chelsea 2-1 Stoke City Referee: Jonathan Moss
Moss continued a run of good performances by these referees with a good match.
37th Minute: Chelsea gets a penalty after Philip Wollscheid trips up Cesc Fàbregas in the area. The contact was tough to spot from Moss' angle, so major credit is due to him for catching the trip.
Manchester United 3-1 Aston Villa Referee: Roger East
East was okay overall, but missed an obvious penalty in the 5th Minute.
5th Minute: Ciaran Clark grabs Wayne Rooney by the throat to stop him from scoring, but East somehow waves play on. Penalty is the right decision in my book.
West Brom 1-4 Queens Park Referee: Lee Probert
Probert had one key call and I think he nailed it.
83rd Minute: West Brom sub Youssuf Mulumbu sends a forearm to the head of Joey Barton during an aerial challenge. Great call from Probert to send Mulumbu off.
Leicester City 2-1 West Ham Referee: Mark Clattenburg
Clattenburg continued to prove himself as England's top referee with a good performance in this high stakes battle for Leicester.
14th Minute: West Ham's Carl Jenkinson clearly trips up Leonardo Ulloa in the box. Good penalty call by Clattenburg.
Crystal Palace 2-1 Manchester City Referee: Michael Oliver
Oliver was decent in the match, but missed a key handball in the 72nd Minute
72nd Minute: City cry for a penalty after a bouncing ball hits the outstretched hand of a Palace defender in the area. In my opinion, Oliver should have pointed to the spot.
Everton 1-0 Southampton Referee: Lee Mason
Burnley 0-0 Tottenham Referee: Martin Atkinson
Sunderland 1-0 Newcastle Referee: Mike Dean
Mason, Dean and Atkinson all had good games with no controversy. Good job by them and their crews.
