Find out which teams impressed in week seven of the Premier League as Tottenham outplayed Man City and Man Utd were held at home to Stoke. 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?

The two players set up a Sunday showdown between former HSBC champions after finishing off their third rounds with identical birdies over three of the last five holes Saturday to separate themselves slightly from the rest of the crowded leaderboard.BRASILIA, Brazil -- Cristiano Ronaldos first goal of the World Cup earned Portugal a 2-1 win over Ghana but couldnt prevent his team being eliminated from the tournament along with the Africans on Thursday. Portugal finished level on four points with second-place United States in Group G but with an inferior goal difference. Germany topped the group after beating the U.S. 1-0 in Recife. Ronaldo slammed home the winner at Estadio Nacional with his left foot in the 80th minute to break his drought in Brazil and give Portugal its first win. He barely celebrated, though, with the goal coming too late to help Portugal qualify at the expense of the Americans. "We created many opportunities but we could not finish them," Ronaldo said. "We knew we had to score three goals and were depending on the result of the Germany game and we couldnt do that. "We deserved more, but thats football. We are leaving with our heads held high." Ghana captain Asamaoh Gyans 57th-minute header cancelled out an own goal scored by teammate John Boye in the 31st. It was a bittersweet ending to the World Cup for Ronaldo, who has been nursing a left leg injury and seen the likes of Brazil star Neymar and Argentina captain Lionel Messi upstage him with four goals apiece. The world player of the year earned the man-of-the-match award after a display that could easily have yielded three or four goals. Ronaldo struck the bar in the first half and had two great chances in injury time, but glanced a close-range finish over the bar and then shot straight at Fatawu Dauda when one on one with the goalkeeper. It was too little, too late from Ronaldo, who was downbeat as he trudged off the pitch after the final whistle. The result brought to an end a typically eventful few weeks in Brazil for the Ghanaiaans, who were part of thrilling games against the United States and Germany before their campaign ended in turmoil on and off the pitch.dddddddddddd Their players took to the field in the Brazilian capital amid a dispute with the countrys football federation over alleged unpaid World Cup bonuses. Adding to the chaos, two of the teams star players -- Sulley Muntari and Kevin-Prince Boateng -- were booted out of the squad hours before Thursdays kickoff for disciplinary reasons. "I dont think it had an impact on the game," said Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah, who confirmed that his players received their appearance-fee payments before kickoff as requested. "We had our chances but couldnt take them." It was perhaps no surprise that Ghana delivered its most subdued display of the tournament, ensuring the team finished bottom of the group and resulting in Ronaldo getting time and space to enjoy his most lively performance in Brazil. He could have had a hat trick by the time he finally found the net. An over-hit cross in the fifth minute flew over Dauda and slammed against the bar before the Real Madrid superstar squandered a gilt-edged chance, heading straight at the keeper from six yards (meters) out. After having two stinging shots saved, he was bailed out by Boye, who sliced Miguel Velosos cross into the top corner of his own net to give the Portuguese a halftime lead they just about deserved. Gyan could hardly miss with a header after Kwadwo Asamaohs delicious cross with the outside of his left foot, making it 1-1. With Germany having just taken the lead in Recife, Ghana was only a goal away from progressing at that stage. However, Ronaldo had the final say, making no mistake from eight yards (meters) out after Dauda had parried the ball high into the air. ' ' '
