It was a match lots of soccer pundits had expected the Red Devils to lose considering the current form of Tottenham Hotspur; and especially for the fact that one of United’s players got red-carded in the second half of the game. Spurs failed to capitalize on the deficiency to win the tension-soaked match.
It was however a sweet weekend for the Blues as Chelsea returned to winning ways by beating highly rated Blackburn Rovers 2-0 to keep their hope of winning the league back-to-back alive. Chelsea’s goals came through Ivanovic and Nicolas Anelka. The win Coach Carlo Ancelotti and the fans of the club something to cheer about.
Arsenal were in their devastating form as they spanked Westham 3-0 in an away game to close gap on league leaders Manchester United. The Gunners had a superlative performance after losing 0-1 to Leeds United in the FA Cup the previous week.
Manchester City maintained their winning streaks by beating Wolves 4-3 in a highly pulsating match. The host came from a goal down to completely overrun their guests and narrow the gap between them and their city rivals Manchester united who are currently on top of the table.
West Bromwich Albion defeated Blackpool 3-2 with Peter Osaze Odewingie scoring the 2 goals for his side to keep their hope of remaining in the premiership alive after series of losses in their previous games.
Liverpool FC was not as lucky by dropping 2 vital points at Anfield, as they ended their match against Everton 2-2. Raul Meireles and Dirk Kuyt scored for the home side in the 29th and 68th minutes respectively: but Sylvian Distin’s 46th minute and Jermaine Beckford’s 52nd minute goals ensured the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
Liverpool has been struggling since the commencement of this current season and has remained inconsistent with their top striker Fernando Torres finding it consistently difficult to score goals. The team captain Stephen Gerrard seems to have lost the flares he is known for. The team has lost her first 2 matches since Kenny Dalglish took over from Roy Hodgson as Head Coach.
The match between Sunderland and Newcastle ended in a 1-1 draw. Kevin Nolan scored for Newcastle in the 52nd minute while Ghana’s 2010 world revelation Asamoah Gyan scored the equalizer for Sunderland in injury time.
Birmingham and Aston Villa also ended their game on a 1-1 draw. Roger Johnson scored for Birmingham; but James Collins made sure they ran away with a point. Villa had a 3-3 draw against defending champions Chelsea at Stamford bridge the previous week and only able to recover a point during the weekend.
The league still remains very open with fierce competition and the struggle for the title now toughest between Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea FC.
