On Saturday afternoon, the matches of the third round of the English Premier League were played.

In the earlier match, the country's Vice-Champions "Manchester City" met the league newcomers "Hull City" at home.

After a slow first half, more interesting events began in the second, when Alvaro Negredo, who came on after Pablo Zabaleta's pass from the corner, led the hosts ahead.

At the end of the match, the team leader Yaya Toure equalized the result with an amazing penalty kick, thus guaranteeing three important points after the failure in the previous round against "Cardiff City" team.

In the other matches today, there were few goals scored.

"Newcastle" club's victory over "Fulham" was decided by Hatem Ben Arfa's precise strike at the end of the match, while "Norwich City" secured three points after a goal by young Nathan Redmond against "Southampton".

"West Ham" surprisingly lost at home to "Stoke City", whose victory was sealed by Jermaine Pennant's strike, and the "Cardiff City" - "Everton" duel ended goalless.
