West Ham survived at the expense of the Blades, chiefly through the performances of star player Tevez, whose registration breached league rules on third-party ownership.

The panel are yet to determine the size of the payout, although a figure of up to £30 million has been suggested.

A statement on the Hammers' official website confirmed the club's intention to take the case all the way to the CAS in Geneva.

"However, the club can confirm that while we respect the judgement of the FA arbitration panel, we do not accept that one player's contribution can be placed over that of the team as a whole nor used as the basis for judging the results of a 38-game season.

"This ruling undermines the significant efforts of our entire playing squad and coaching staff over the duration of the 2006/07 Premier League season and does not take sufficient account of the performances of the other 19 clubs in the competition.

"We acknowledge again that the club broke Premier League rules in the original signing of Carlos Tevez but we were dealt with accordingly by an independent Premier League commission and accepted the significant punishment handed down at that time.

"In light of this and the wider implications of this latest ruling for English football we have decided to ask that the case be considered by the Court of Arbitration for Sport."

"As a result of today's hearing, Terry's three match suspension has been withdrawn."

Ferguson, quoted in The Times, said: "From what I have heard, Keith Hackett has told the referee to rescind the red card and he wouldn't do it.

"If the referee has made a mistake, this is going to happen all the time."

Premier League - Aston Villa earned a deserved 2-1 victory at White Hart Lane.

Victory Aston Villa move up to fourth in table but it wasn't all good news for Martin O'Neill as key striker John Carew was forced off in the second half with what looked like a hamstring injury.

There was also some injury woe for Spurs with Luka Modric and Didier Zokora both exiting the game with knocks.

Tottenham now have just one point from their opening four matches making it their worst start to a season in 34 years.

Villa scored with their opening attack of the game after just five minutes as Gabriel Agbonlahor was found in acres of space down the left wing by Young.

He then put in a low cross that the Spurs defenders just watched and Carew was able to flick the ball into the path of Reo-Coker who side-footed home for his first goal in a Villa shirt.

Villa continued to dominate as Spurs struggled to get a grip of proceedings in midfield, and acrobatic saves from Gomes were needed to deny Gareth Barry and Agbonlahor.


Spurs huffed and puffed for a way back into the game but despite the best efforts of Bentley and the lively Aaron Lennon they continued to struggle.

Martin O'Neill will be hoping for better from Harewood in forthcoming weeks as he is likely to need the big striker after Carew went down unchallenged just after the hour mark.

Spurs on the other hand, have much bigger problems to worry about, as they remain the only Premier League club without a win this season.

Premier League - Everton Beat Stoke 2 - 3

Everton survived a stirring comeback to win a nail-bitting Premier League encounter 3-2 at the Britannia Stadium.

Toffees boss David Moyes was sent to the stands after his side were denied a penalty, but Tim Cahill secured an away win with a close-range header.

In the first half, Stoke set out to defend, getting men behind the ball and allowing the visitors to dominate possession.

Even with record signing Marouane Fellaini and Ecuadorian Segundo Castillo making their debuts, and Cahill back in the starting 11, chances were at a premium.

Stoke's Ricardo Fuller registered the only shot on target of a stultifying game before Yakubu broke the deadlock five minutes before the break.

It was a peach of a goal. Fellaini played a clever reverse ball to Cahill who teed up Yakubu.

The Nigerian - the most prolific striker of any currently playing in the English top flight - cut back onto his left side and placed a superb left-foot shot into the bottom-left corner from the edge of the box.

Just over five minutes into the second half, it looked to be all over when Anichebe made it two with a deft header. Mikel Arteta delivered a free-kick into the box and Anichebe let the ball brush to the top of his head, redirecting it just enough to guide it inside the far post.

Stoke had played nearly all the first half inside their own territory, but now they were forced to respond, and did so in thrilling fashion. Knowing their limitations, Stoke have made a useful habit of playing to their strengths.

Among these are the extraordinary long throws of Rory Delap, who time and again flung the ball into the Everton area, causing panic.

Delap's missiles led to both Stoke goals. First, on 54 minutes, Tim Howard palmed one long throw weakly to Seyi Olofinjana, who smashed a volley in from eight yards.

Nine minutes later Delap loaded up again and hurled towards the Everton goal. Jagielka jumped to head clear, but could only glance it over Howard and in for an equaliser.

On 73 minutes, Leon Cort handballed inside the Stoke box and referee Alan Wiley pointed to the penalty spot.

Chelsea the unstopppable

Chelsea spoil the party of Robinho's debut goal. Chelsea came from behind to win 3-1 over Manchester City at Eastlands in the Premier League.

Chelsea showed their nouveau-riche rivals that there is a long way to go before they can call themselves challengers.
