Newcastle 3-1 West HamMark Viduka announced his arrival on Tyneside with a first-half double as Newcastle saw off West Ham 3-1.The Australian got his side off to the perfect start with a second-minute bullet header, and then converted Charles N'Zogbia's cross four minutes before half-time.
In the meantime, Dean Ashton had dragged the visitors back into it with his second goal in as many games since his return from injury, and the Hammers could count themselves unfortunate to go in behind at the break after pinning their hosts back for long periods.
Keeper Steve Harper had to produce excellent one-handed saves to deny first Mark Noble and then former team-mate Lee Bowyer, but the Magpies dominated the second half and were rewarded when N'Zogbia slotted home their third goal after 76 minutes
Aston villa 2-0 Everton
Blackburn 0-1 Portsmouth
A solitary strike from Kanu was enough to give Portsmouth their first away victory of the year and consign Blackburn to a second defeat in four days.Harry Redknapp's side had not savoured a win on the road since a Boxing Day triumph at West Ham, since when they had suffered eight defeats and five draws.
Kanu's 25th-minute strike was his third goal of the season, adding to Blackburn's woes after their shock loss to Larissa on Thursday in the first leg of a UEFA Cup first-round tie.
Bolton 1-1 Tottenham
Tottenham took the lead in the 33rd minute through Keane's first league goal of the season.It was poor defending by Bolton after Jaaskelainen got a hand to Jermaine Jenas' close-range effort. The ball broke to Campo but he only succeeded in setting up Keane, who took advantage from close range.Campo made amends five minutes later by grabbing the equaliser with a thumping header into the corner following a free-kick from El-Hadji Diouf.
