Keane's double spells trouble for Wolves

Premier League round-up:  Robbie Keane came back to haunt his former team and his former international manager as he marked his full Aston Villadebut with two goals, including s superb second-half winner against Mick McCarthy's Wolvesat Molineux.

The on-loan Los Angeles Galaxy striker’s double helped Villa to come from behind against his old club after Darren Bent’s early penalty had been cancelled out by goals from Michael Kightly and Dave Edwards.

Wolves had been reduced to 10 men with 15 minutes remaining after midfielder Karl Henry kicked out at winger Marc Albrighton and received a red card.

Clint Dempsey’s hat-trick helped

Fulham

to an impressive 5-2 defeat of

Newcastle

at Craven Cottage.

Having gone behind to a first-half Danny Guthrie screamer, the Cottagers came out firing in the second period.

Danny Murphy and Bobby Zamora netted penalties either side of a Dempsey brace in a 16-minute period.

Hatem Ben Arfa pulled one back with the clock winding down, although Dempsey scored again at the last.

Stephane Sessegnon’s superb goal set

Sunderland

on the way to a 2-0 victory over

Swansea

as the Black Cats extended their unbeaten home record under Martin O’Neill.

The Benin international produced a fine 14th-minute finish after linking with James McClean to open the scoring, and substitute Craig Gardner made sure with a thumping volley five minutes from time.

But the hosts did not have things all their own way and goalkeeper Simon Mignolet had to pull off a good 58th-minute save to keep out Gylfi Sigurdsson’s free-kick in a tight encounter.

Mark Hughes registered his first Premier League win as

QPR

manager with a convincing 3-1 win over fellow strugglers

Wigan

at Loftus Road.

Rangers started nervously, but took the lead in the 32nd minute when Heidar Helguson slotted home from the penalty spot after James McCarthy handled in the box and they then made it 2-0 on the stroke of half-time thanks to Akos Buzsaky’s brilliant free-kick.

Hugo Rodallega pulled one back for the Latics with a strike of equal brilliance before Tommy Smith blasted home from 25 yards to complete the win following Helguson’s failure to convert a second penalty.

West Brom

finally ended their 30-year hoodoo at

Stoke

as well as bringing the curtain down on their recent miserable run with a 2-1 victory.

After losing 13 games and drawing five of their previous 18 visits to this part of the Potteries, it required two mistakes from Stoke goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen to gift Albion the points.

Sorensen first allowed by a low 30-yard screamer from James Morrison, and after substitute Cameron Jerome seemingly salvaged a point in the 86th minute, Graham Dorrans then beat the Norwegian in injury time with a 25-yard free-kick.

David Goodwillie earned

Blackburn

a precious point in a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park after Tim Cahill had ended a 13-month goal drought to put

Everton

ahead.

The Australian, who had not scored since a clash with Manchester City in December 2010, took advantage of some poor defending to tap in in the 24th minute.

Blackburn had hit the woodwork twice in the first half but it took them until 18 minutes from time to level when Goodwillie bundled in a free-kick, and they rode their luck to hang on for a draw.
