Premier League: Chelsea 2:1 Sunderland
Paolo Di Canio's debut as Sunderland manager ended in defeat, as Chelsea fought back from a deficit to win 2-1 at Stamford Bridge.
Despite a promising opening 45 minutes, Di Canio was unable to inspire Sunderland to a positive result in his bow with the north-east club - as they remain deep in a relegation dogfight.
In a disappointing affair, all three goals carried an element of fortune to them, with Cesar Azpilicueta's own goal followed by two deflected strikes in Chelsea's favour - courtesy of Sunderland's Matthew Kilgallon and Blues defender Branislav Ivanovic to give them all three points.
Chelsea made five changes to the team that dispatched Rubin Kazan in the Europa Lea

Premier League: Tottenham 2:2 Everton
A late equaliser from Gylfi Sigurdsson salvaged a point for Tottenham against Everton at White Hart Lane, in a 2-2 draw.
David Moyes' visitors had fought back brilliantly to take a surprise lead after going a goal down in the first minute, before Tottenham's Icelandic midfielder made it all square on 87 minutes.
A fabulous individual goal in the second half from Kevin Mirallas had made it 2-1 to the Toffees, after a frantic opening to the match. Emmanuel Adebayor had put Tottenham ahead in the first minute following brilliant play by Jan Vertonghen, before Phil Jagielka drew the visitors level after 15 minutes.

But Ferdinand is refusing to get ahead of himself and will only look towards the points record once the club have secured a 20th top-flight title.
"It is just about winning. Anything that comes after that is great, but winning it is the most important part," the 34-year-old said.

Ferguson fond of Di Canio
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has backed Sunderland boss Paolo Di Canio to perform at his new club.
The Italian has come under the microscope since replacing Martin O'Neill, who was sacked following the 1-0 defeat to the Premier League leaders, having previously described himself as a fascist.
Ferguson, however, admits that he admires Di Canio's passionate style as well as his emphasis on developing an attractive style of play.
"I must confess to a liking for the fellow and his approach to the game," Ferguson told United Review.

Valkanis: Wanderers defeat derailed Reds
Adelaide United coach Michael Valkanis said their horror defeat to Western Sydney Wanderers in mid-season marked the beginning of the end.
Valkanis believes his side's Round 12 disaster against the eventual minor premiers was the writing on the wall for the Reds, who were ousted from the A-League finals on Sunday with a 2-1 elimination final loss to Brisbane Roar at Hindmarsh Stadium.
Nudging top spot at the time, United were thumped 6-1 by the Wanderers four days before Christmas and never recovered.
The faltering Reds won just one of their last eight matches, seemingly worn down after a gruelli

Premier League: Liverpool 0:0 West Ham
Despite a dominating performance from Liverpool, a fantastic West Ham defensive display secured a well-deserved goalless draw at Anfield.
The hosts bossed possession in the first half but were unable to find their way through West Ham's defensive line, allowing the visitors to hit them on the counterattack with Mohamed Diame's lofted shot arguably being the best chance of the first period.
Liverpool continued their dominance after the restart and despite a multitude of chances and Daniel Sturridge having a goal rightly ruled out for offside, West Ham held on to pick up a point.

Juventus increased their lead at the top of Serie A to 12 points with a 2-1 home victory over bottom side Pescara on Saturday.
Antonio Conte's team were beaten 2-0 by Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday, and they started the clash in a positive fashion against the struggling visitors.

A short free-kick resulted in Arturo Vidal being roughly thrown to the ground by Guiseppe Rizzo, and Vucinic slammed the resulting spot-kick home.

Norwich manager Chris Hughton hopes good home form will be enough to guarantee his side's Premier League status.
Norwich scored a 2-2 draw against Swansea on Saturday which pulled them into the relegation dogfight.
Hughton's side conceded a late Luke Moore goal to forfeit the lead, and the draw leaves the Canaries a mere five points above safety and without a win in five matches.
They now face a difficult run-in, with away trips to Arsenal and Manchester City yet to come as well as season-defining clashes with fellow relegation contenders Reading, Aston Villa and Stoke.

However, a stunning long-range strike from Matthew Lowton and a sealer from Christian Benteke capped all three points, and Lambert believes his team are profiting from playing with confidence in front of goal.

Long balls hampered Saints style, says Pochettino
Southampton manager Mauric io Pochettino said their slow tempo in their 2-1 win over Reading was down to their rivals' style of play.
The Saints claimed their third league win in a row, with Jay Rodriguez and Adam Lallana scoring in each half at the Madejski Stadium.
The win improves the south-coast outfit's record against lower-half clubs, but they were noticeably slower out of the blocks than in the wins over the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea, something the Argentine hinted was due to the Royals' long-ball tactics.
