In the closing 20 minutes here Owen Coyle, the Burnley manager, got a lesson in keeping up with the Joneses, Premier League style. He brought on an England international, his Aston Villa counterpart Martin O'Neill brought on two – and it was not just a matter of quantity either. No offence to David Nugent and his solitary England appearance but if Burnley had 78 caps worth of Emile Heskey and...

Emile Heskey headed his first goal since April to produce the first drawn game here this season as Aston Villa fought back after a dire first-half performance, in atrocious weather conditions, to cancel out Steven Caldwell's opener. This week marks Owen Coyle's second anniversary at Turf Moor and he did not have to wait long before his players presented him with his present, though a sluggish Aston...

Harry Redknapp said yesterday’s team selection was the hardest he had faced as a manager, but any fears he had about restoring Robbie Keane in place of Peter Crouch were dispelled emphatically as Keane became the first Tottenham player since Jurgen Klinsmann – against Wimbledon in 1998 – to score four goals in a match. Spurs may have suffered hiccups against Manchester United and...

The hosts opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time as Didier Drogba broke down the right and crossed for Nicolas Anelka to score from point-blank range.
