We asked Sky Sports football pundit Charlie Nicholas to give each side a grade, based purely on their performance at the weekend.So, how did your side fare? Do they get a stunning A*, a woeful F, or something in between? Read on to find out... Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ￡6.99. No contract. Tottenham - A+It was the performance of the weekend. Mauricio Pochettinos side were at it right from the first whistle, they squeezed City and forced them into situations where their defence looked nervous. You could see the panic in Aleksandar Kolarovs face for his own goal. It was a first-class display and must give them even greater belief considering they were missing Harry Kane. Tottenham 2-0 Man City highlights Stoke - B+It was their strongest performance of the season so far. Joe Allen was excellent and the man of the match at Old Trafford for me. It was a shame for them that Xherdan Shaqiris final ball was poor far too often, though. The set-pieces were absolutely abysmal and I cant believe they kept letting him take them. If Stokes final pass was better, they could have opened Man Utd up and scored more goals. That is a promising sign. Joe Allen celebrates his equaliser for Stoke City at Man Utd West Brom - B+They dominated spells of the game against Sunderland, and Matt Phillips and Craig Dawson got forward well on the right flank. Salomon Rondon put in another good shift, but Tony Pulis stayed quite rigid until late in the game and if they had scored the second goal when they were on top, they would have won. They just failed to kill it off and thats why its not an A performance.Liverpool - B+Liverpool maintained their momentum and their belief will grow having showed character to come from behind. When Roberto Firmino, Philippe Coutinho, Sadio Mane and Adam Lallana get it right, it is so exciting to watch. We all enjoyed Jurgen Klopp on Monday Night Football, but his team is prone to mood swings defensively. For me, they are not strong enough to win the title, but Im tipping them to make the top four with no European football. Swansea 1-2 Liverpool highlights Crystal Palace - BIt was a good away performance and I thought they could have won the match at the end too. They have found success in terms of feeding Christian Benteke. What a wonderful header that was. Palace need Andros Townsend on the left to feed Benteke, because when he plays on the right he cuts in and shoots. With him mainly on the left and Wilfried Zaha on the right, they can supply the big striker. Ref watch: Koscielny call correct Ref Watch: Laurent Koscielnys winning goal was correctly awarded Watford - BThey kept coming back, twice showing character against Bournemouth, and they could have won it. The one thing thats frustrating me with Watford is Odion Ighalo. He looks like he needs to come out of the team. Nordin Amrabat impressed me and Troy Deeney always does, and Watford more than played their part in a very entertaining game. Watford 2-2 Bournemouth highlights Bournemouth - BI love the fact Eddie Howe doesnt change his style. I thought they were a little bit soft-centred but on Soccer Saturday we identified Harry Arter, who is aggressive in the tackle and good on the ball too. He can physically disrupt the opposition and it looks like, with Jack Wilshere adding a little more class in midfield, Howe has the balance right. We know Bournemouth are capable of scoring goals, but they should have seen the game out.Middlesbrough - BAitor Karanka will be pleased with a point, which stops a run of defeats. I thought they played really well, and it looks like Calum Chambers is settling into the back four, which is a good sign. They are well drilled and in Cristhian Stuani, they have a goalscorer. Defensively and style-wise, they looked very solid. West Ham 1-1 Middlesbrough highlights Sunderland - BThey played with drive and passion in the first 20 minutes and had the crowd behind them, but the terrifying thing is David Moyes is right to say this is another season battling relegation. Some of their players are not good enough to take it any further. With 20 minutes gone and after just two West Brom attacks, Sunderland became the most nervous team Ive seen at this level. But then, with 20 minutes to go and 1-0 down, Moyes changed the game with his substitutions and all of a sudden the crowd got behind them and they created chances again. They showed a bit of fight, which I liked, but this team is really low on confidence and nervous as a kitten. Sunderland 1-1 West Brom highlights Arsenal - BSometimes when youre not playing well, you just need to grind out a result and thats what Arsenal did. It was an incredibly lucky goal because there were a couple of controversies to it with the handball and a possible offside. Overall, they werent silky smooth in attack, but Burnley made it difficult and it takes two to tango. You could see the smiles on the Arsenal players faces at the end because they knew it was a big three points. Burnley 0 - 1 Arsenal highlights Man Utd - B-I thought Man Utd played OK, and I wouldnt totally disagree with Jose Mourinhos optimistic outlook after the game. Sometimes he looks to camouflage bad performances, but in this one they created plenty of chances. They didnt always use the ball well, but they played with a purpose and an energy that was threatening, the only thing was, they werent clinical enough. Manchester Utd 1-1 Stoke highlights Chelsea - C+Antonio Conte will be chuffed to bits. Diego Costa got back on the goal trail, Willian also scored a really nice goal, but they didnt play well so thats why they miss out on a B. They looked clinical and its a case of take the clean sheet, the three points and move on because there are still issues at Chelsea. Hull 0-2 Chelsea highlights Southampton - C+Charlie Austin had a couple of chances, and although he was unlucky to hit the post, he probably should have scored at least one. It was a relatively bland performance after a tough European away game. They could have won the match, but a draw was a fair result.Burnley - CIm not being disrespectful to Burnley, but their plan seemed to be to rely upon being a threat at set-pieces. They were organised and tough to break down but I think you need to offer more than that in your home games. In their defence, the goal they conceded was bad luck and there were encouraging signs for Sean Dyche, but at Turf Moor I thought they could have had more of a go. Leicester 0-0 Southampton highlights Leicester - CTeams can find it difficult to adjust after playing European football in midweek and it seemed to be the case for both Leicester and Southampton. It wasnt an inspiring game and there was very little in it. I thought Leicester would kick on after beating Porto, and while they did look solid on Sunday, it was pretty ordinary in terms of performance.West Ham - CWest Ham were really struggling to break down Middlesbrough, but when you have class in your team you feel something will come, and it was a stunning individual goal by Dimitri Payet. I think we shouted, hit it five times and he just kept on going and going. A wonderful strike. The second-half performance was decent after an ordinary first half. They lacked fluency and there are still problems Slaven Bilic has to resolve at the club. Payet’s solo stunner for West Ham Swansea - CSwansea played well, but obviously it was not enough to save Francesco Guidolin. When you go in front as they did on Saturday, and then you have two or three more opportunities to score, you need to get the result. Everton - CI thought it would be tight against Palace, and the reason Im not giving them a higher grade is they should have gone on and won, and I was disappointed in Ross Barkleys performance again. Im a fan of his, but it looks like Sam Allardyces decision to leave him out of his first England squad has set him back. It seems hes not quite recovered and I think Ronald Koeman might be tempted to take him out of the team and make him prove his worth. Everton 1-1 Crystal Palace highlights Hull City - DYou can see theyve lost their momentum after a fast start, and off the pitch they have dallied over the role of interim manager when they should have just nailed it down. The club have not handled that situation well, and the players seem to have lost belief as a result. They were together and spirited, but lacked quality up front, and its going to be a long season.Man City - DWelcome to reality. The City juggernaut took a hit against Spurs, who were better in every area. I love City and am a massive Pep Guardiola fan, but every system is vulnerable. When they click, they are fabulous to watch, but when they dont, they lack fluency and look nervous. I didnt see many positives at all for Pep and they were awful defensively.Do you agree with Charlie Nicholas grades?

Best Price Nike Air Max 270 .com) - Patrick Reed poured in a 19-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole Monday to defeat Jimmy Walker and win the Hyundai Tournament of Champions. IRVING, Texas -- David Duval gets only limited chances on the PGA Tour these days, much different than 15 years ago when he was the No. 1 player in the world. So Duval gutted it out Thursday at the Byron Nelson Championship despite the pain from a muscle issue in his right elbow, a day after his stepson had to drive him because he couldnt even use that arm. "Im just glad I chose to tee off today because I was seriously considering not," said Duval, who almost withdrew about a half-hour before his round. Duval, now 42 years old and ranked 890th in the world, birdied his last three holes -- Nos. 7-9 -- after pitching in from 57 feet for another birdie at the fifth hole. He shot 4-under 66, a stroke behind leader Peter Hanson and tied with Marc Leishman and Tim Wilkinson. After a bogey on his 12th hole, the 528-yard third hole, Duval was even par for his round. He had the long pitch on No. 5, and a similar shot from 43 feet at the par-5 seventh hole started his closing birdie stretch. He sank putts of 3 1/2 and 17 feet to finish. "Im tickled pink it feels as good as it does right now," Duval said. "Im not getting to play a whole lot right now and it would have been a hard thing to swallow not to be able to tee off." Duvals arm started bothering him Tuesday when he hit 20 or 30 balls after getting to North Texas, and he managed to play only six holes after having a trainer work on his arm. He had an injection that night and hit only 20 or 30 more balls Wednesday before he couldnt even move his arm. He got more treatment before teeing off Thursday. As a 13-time winner on the PGA Tour, his last victory in the 2001 British Open, Duval has past champion status. But past champions are 32nd in the line of 36 categories to fill open spots in tournament fields. "A little disadvantage when you dont get to play consistently," he said. "But I have the utmost confidence in what Im trying to do right now, and I feel like I can succeed even with that sporadic schedule." Martin Kaymer, The Players Championship winner Sunday, waas among eight players at 67.dddddddddddd. When Duval finished his round, he had a share of the lead -- until Hanson sank a 6-foot putt at No. 18 for his only back-nine birdie. Duval hasnt led the end of any round on the PGA Tour since the fourth of five rounds at Las Vegas in 2002. This is his only his eighth tournament this season, matching last years total. Hanson made the turn at 5 under after shooting 30 on the front side. The Swede couldnt keep up the pace on the back nine at TPC Four Seasons that he hadnt played before Thursday because of travel issues and a sore back. "I still have quite a bit of pain, but I really wanted to play this week," Hanson said. "Heading over to Europe the next two weeks. We have a big tournament, Wentworth, and then my national open back in Sweden the week after that. This is a bit of a test." Leishman was the only of the top four who played in the morning, and had a tap-in birdie putt at the par-3 second hole. His only bogey, at the 431-yard fourth hole after missing the green, was sandwiched by a pair of birdies. "It was fairly stress-free for the most part," the Australian said after hitting 13 of 14 fairways and 16 greens in regulation. It was Leishmans best-scoring round since opening with a 66 at Torrey Pines in January when he was the runner-up with his second consecutive top-five finish. In eight tournaments since, he missed three cuts and his only finish in the top 30 was his tie for 23th at The Players Championship. Jordan Spieth had to birdie two of his last three holes for an even-par 70 at the course where he made the cut as an amateur at ages 16 and 17. Spieth, now 20 and the eighth-ranked player in the world, had a double-bogey 6 after driving into the water at No. 3, his 12th hole. With a large gallery following him only four days after he was in the final group with Kaymer at The Players, the Masters runner-up from Dallas hit only four of 14 fairways and 10 of 18 greens in regulation. Spieth played with defending Nelson champ Sang-Moon Bae, the South Korean who had an opening 73. ' ' '
