Joe Dyer reports on the betting action from Stamford Bridge and across the grounds on a busy Sunday in the Premier League.

Manchester United were backed at [1.38] in-running on Betfair to overcome title rivals Chelsea after taking an early lead this afternoon.

But a 78th minute equaliser from Salomon Kalou cancelled out Ji-Sung Park's opener.

In a typically cagey game, the draw went no higher than [4.3] on the exchange.

The Man Utd/Draw half-time/full-time result was backed at a high of [19.5].

The result leaves Chelsea as 2.16 favourites to win the league with Man Utd back on 3.7. Leaders Arsenal are [5.7] with Liverpool on double figures at 10.5.

In the early match Aston Villa blitzed West Brom with two first-half goals in a 2-1 win. That half-time scoreline was backed at [27.0].

With all three goals scored in the first half over 3.5 goals in the game was backed at a low of [1.15].

There was heartbreak at the KC Stadium where Hull, matched at a high of 3.85 pre-match, were a [1.05] when 2-0 up against Everton.

The Toffees drifted to [140.0] at that stage with the draw trading at [23.0]. But David Moyes' men produced a classic fightback to draw 2-2.

The 0-0 correct score was matched at a high of [16.0] as Tottenham and Wigan fought out a dull scoreless draw. Spurs were matched at a low of [1.72] to win.

In complete contrast to sad Tottenham, Manchester City feasted on goals at home to Portsmouth where the home fans cheered a 6-0 victory. Six goals or more was matched at [27.0].
