Watch English Premier League goals of the month (September 2008) here.

1. Boby Zamora (Fulham) against Bolton
2. Marlon King (Hull City) against Newcastle
3. Frank Lampard (Chelsea) against Man City
4. Nicklas Bendtner (Arsenal) against Bolton
5. Ashley Young (Aston Villa) against Sunderland
6. Wayne Rooney (Man Utd) against Bolton

Chelsea stayed top of the Premier League with an impressive demolition job on Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues were dominant throughout and Joe Cole drilled home the opener after running on to Frank Lampard’s pass.

Nicolas Anelka got the second when he finished off after Brad Friedel had kept out his first effort and an initial shot from Michael Ballack.

Anelka also hit the bar, while Villa failed to seriously test Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech.

The performance made a mockery of pre-match suggestions that Villa could threaten Chelsea’s 85-match unbeaten run at home.

The final scoreline did not reflect the difference in the two teams and on the evidence of this display Chelsea, who were without several first-choice players, will be hard to stop this season.

Villa went into the game with ideas of going top of the Premier League for the first time in nearly seven years.

Goals

1-0 J.Cole 21′

2-0 N.Anelka 43′

Dirk Kuyt scored an injury-time winner as Liverpool came back from two goals down to beat 10-man Manchester City.

Stephen Ireland lashed in a shot to put City ahead and Javier Garrido curled a 22-yard free-kick into the top corner to extend the home side’s lead.

But Fernando Torres slotted home and, after City’s Pablo Zabaleta was sent off for a tackle on Xabi Alonso, headed in to level for the visitors.

Kuyt then decided the match late on when he slotted in at the far post.

The game was a match up between the highest scoring side in the Premier League so far this season against a Reds side with the top-flight’s meanest defence.

There was a danger that the duo could cancel each other out but those fears proved unfounded after an action-packed match with plenty of drama.

Highlights

Newcastle fought back from two goals down to earn a draw away at Everton in Joe Kinnear’s first match in charge.

Mikel Arteta’s penalty gave Everton a deserved lead before Marouane Fellaini made it two with a neat finish.

Steven Taylor inspired Newcastle’s comeback, heading in on the stroke of half-time, and then crossing for Damien Duff to equalise after the break.

Baines cleared Charles N’Zogbia’s shot off the line as Everton claimed their first point at home this season.

Kinnear was forced to watch from the director’s box as he served a touchline ban issued while he was in charge of Nottingham Forest four years ago.

And he watched his side start like a team who had lost their previous four league matches, with the players looking drained of confidence.

In contrast Everton, showing little ill-effect from their midweek Uefa Cup exit, were much brighter and Steven Pienaar set Yakubu up for the first meaningful chance, but the Nigerian lifted his shot over the bar.
