Premiership Review Week 3

OK week three of the premiership and lets start with the midlands derby Wolverhampton Wanderers v Aston Villa a lunchtime kick off with a few chances of note although Wolves started brightly Stephen Hunt forcing a save from Aston Villa keeper Shay Given and Emille Heskey flicking a shot. Although Villa had the better of the second half Wolves will probably leave the happier.

Wigan Athletic took on Queens Park Rangers in another lunchtime kick off with Franco Di Santo scoring both goals the first before half time which was scored from a pass from Victor Moses and then a second into the top of the net which had been volleyed right into the net.

Chelsea were given a workout by Norwich City Jose Bosingwa scoring in the first half from 25 yards out. However Norwich City scored in the second half through Grant Holt captilising on a blunder by Hilario. A penalty by Frank Lampard made it 2-1 after a foul on Raul Ramires which saw Norwich City goalkeeper John Ruddy sent off. A third goal was scored by new signing Jose Mata.
