Everton v Stoke
Everton saw off a second half fight-back from Stoke to record a 2-1 victory on History Day.
After first half goals from Jo and Joleon Lescott, the Toffees seemed to be cruising towards another home win.
But the relegation-threatened visitors fought back after half time and Ryan Shawcross' header got them back into the game.
Nervous periods ensued but newly-coiffured Marouane Fellaini put the game to bed as the game entered injury time.
The result will have been especially pleasing for David Moyes as he celebrates seven years in charge this weekend.

And his side immediately appeared in confident mood, with Fellaini, Steven Pienaar and Leighton Baines showing neat touches.
Indeed, five minutes in, the South African stole into the box only to see his effort snuffed out by Shawcross.
Then Leon Osman fired over after good work down the Everton left.
The Toffees' early composure warranted reward and it duly arrived in the 18th minute.
Fellaini played in Jo and the Brazilian's low, left-foot shot squeezed underneath Thomas Sorensen.

The Blues continued to dominate and soon extended their lead.
Joleon Lescott pounced in the 25th minute, providing a simple finish after Tim Cahill's header was saved.
The defender then brandished a black armband in what he described as a personal and private tribute.
Things looked comfortable at this stage and there was even opportunity for Phil Neville to fire a speculative long-ranger way over.
Jo's goal had invigourated the striker, and he oozed confidence as an array of step-overs set up Leon Osman to shoot over.
David Moyes brought Louis Saha on for Cahill at half time but Everton struggled in the opening stages.
Stoke began in barnstorming fashion and from a 52nd minute corner, the unmarked Shawcross headed in a goal that threatened to turn the tide.

There was more danger just before the hour when Danny Higginbotham's header flashed across goal and past the post, then Diao volleyed just wide from long distance.
Seeking to secure a cushion for Everton, Jagielka provided a great cross missed everyone. But Stoke went straight up the other end and fired a thunderbolt just wide. Play immediately returned to the Potters' box though, and Jo couldn't capitalise on another Sorensen blunder.
With 15 minutes to go Saha saw his first chance, a right-foot drive, deflected wide, then Pienaar fired a rising effort a yard or two over the bar.
Jack Rodwell entered the fray late on and he begun the move that saw Sorensen save well from Osman and brilliantly from Pienaar's rebound.
Victory was assured when Fellaini collected Baines' deep cross and finished with the aid of a deflection on the 90 minute mark.
