Saturday summary

The Soccer Saturday panel reflect on a frantic day of Premier League football with thrills, spills and plenty of goals to analyse.

Newcastle are right in it now. They need to win a couple more games and quickly. The Sunderland one is going to be crucial. That's going to be very tight for me. The Fulham game is the one for me because that's going to be in between the legs of their Benfica tie. The fans were brilliant - still singing away at 4-0 today. Read our match report

Phil Thompson saw Tottenham start fast and hold on to earn a 2-1 victory at Swansea

They were 1-0 up after seven and 2-0 up after 20-odd minutes. What a couple of goals they were. For the first half hour of this game it was unbelievable from Spurs. Two teams pressing eachother and Spurs got out the better. It was amazing to watch. Jan Vertonghen is on an incredible run of goalscoring form. Because they pressure every one else, there wasn't enough pressure on him. Vertonghen played it to Gareth Bale and kept on running and when the ball came into the box, he brought it down and just flicks it past Michel Vorm. It's a stunning goal. The next goal, Vertonghen returned the favour. He shaped to shoot and then whipped it into Bale, who controlled it first time. It was stunning in its execution to control and shoot all in one motion. Just great. After that, Swansea have done brilliantly just to get a foothold in the game. Michu has had the best chances for Swansea with a couple of headers that didn't go right for him but he eventually took one well, gets up and produces a great header. It was all huff and puff from Swansea. They tried their best but Spurs did very, very well. Read our match report
