Saturday Afternoon Kick Offs<\/b><\/h2>\n

Six legs of the Pick 15<\/a> kicked off at 15:00. Two were Premier League fixtures and four were Championship fixtures.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the Premier League fixtures was Swansea vs Sunderland. A \u2018<\/span>relegation six pointer\u2019.<\/b> An expected tight game opened up when Swansea won a penalty in the 51st minute. The ever reliable Gylfi Sigurdsson dispatched past Jordan Pickford. Three minutes later, Fernando Llorente doubled the Swans\u2019 lead. Llorente finished the scoring with his second of the match in the 80th minute. Three valuable points for <\/span>Swansea<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another high scoring game involving Crystal Palace.<\/span> Hull took the lead from the penalty spot, only for Benteke to equalise from the same <\/span>penalty spot.<\/b> Zaha’s goal<\/span> in the 70th minute, set up a frantic ten minutes for Hull to score in the 72nd and 78th minute. Campbell equalised for Palace in the <\/span>89th minute<\/b> and the points were shared one a piece.<\/span><\/p>\n
