"The draw betwen Man City and Burnley was matched at a high of [12.5] and some lucky correct score backers grabbed the six goal thriller as high as [95.0]."

Gunners and Villa record but comprehensive wins but City stutter again...

Manchester City drew for the fifth successive match and Burnley picked up their first away points of the season as the sides took part in a dramatic 3-3 draw at Eastlands.

The draw was matched at a high of [12.5] and some lucky correct score backers grabbed the six goal thriller as high as [95.0]. City came in to [1.09] despite finding themselves 0-2 down after 32 minutes.

However, when Shaun Wright-Phillips put the home side back into with a great strike just before half-time things looked ominous for the Clarets. And so it proved, with Kolo Toure's first goal for City giving them the lead ten minutes into the second-half.

City surged forward in search of victory and they looked to have it when Craig Bellamy swept in his fifth of the seaon they looked to have it. But Burnley kept believing and their celebrated wildly when Steven Fletcher hit the equaliser with three minutes remaining.

Arsenal's title bid remains on course after they traded no higher than [1.6] for their win away to Wolves. Two own goals in the first half gave Arsenal a comfortable lead before Cesc Fabregas finished off a sublime move by firing his shot past the beleagured Wayne Hennessy.

The Gunners outplayed their hosts in every area of the field and, with all the attention on Chelsea and Manchester United in the build-up to Sunday's big game, it must be remembered that they are now up to second place in the table.

In the second half, Andrei Arshavin volleyed in Arsenal's fourth before Jody Craddock's 89th minute consolation goal rewarded those who backed over 4.5 goals at [11.0].

Six goals or more touched [18.9] as Aston Villa thumped Botlon 5-1. Villa were impressive in attack, with England youngsters Ashley Young and Grabriel Agbonlahor both on the scoresheet. Agbonlahor has now scored seven this season and, with Carlton Cole injured, is keen to play his way into Fabio Capello's plans.

Darren Bent endured as miserable return to White Hart Lane as his penalty was saved in his side's 2-0 defeat to Tottenham. However, Spurs keeper Gomes was lucky to be on the pitch after receiving on a yellow card for conceding the penalty. Other than that incident, and despite Sunderland's possession, it was a routine [1.7] win for Spurs in which Robbie Keane scored his sixth goal in his last four home matches.

Portsmouth were on course for a third win in a row until Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce introduced Jason Roberts at half-time. The South Coast side led 0-1 and Rovers traded at [7.2] before a brace from the big Rovers striker gave the home side a 3-1 win.
