EPL: Chelsea 1-1 Manchester United

September 22nd 2008 03:55

Sat, Sep 20:

Sunderland 2 - 0 Middlesbrough
West Ham 3 - 1 Newcastle
Blackburn 1 - 0 Fulham
Liverpool 0 - 0 Stoke

Sun, Sep 21:

Tottenham 0 - 0 Wigan

SUMMARY:

Last season's Champions League finalists went into battle in the English Premier League over the weekend with a share of the spoils for both sides as they played out an entertaining 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge.

The visitors took an early lead through South Korea international Ji-Sung Park after he bundled home a loose ball but just like at Anfield last weekend, the reigning champs lost their way in the second half and allowed Chelsea to dominate proceedings and the home side were duly rewarded when Salomon Kalou salvaged a point with a goal in the 80th minute to preserve Chelsea's 85-game unbeaten home record.

Arsenal moved to the top of the Premier League with a superb 3-1 win over Bolton at the Reebok on Saturday. Cementing their reputation as the team that plays the most attractive football in the EPL, the Gunners actually fell behind to a goal before Emmanuel Eboue and Nicklas Bendtner turned the game on its head with two goals in two minutes.

Denilson then made sure of victory three minutes from time, sweeping home a cross from Adebayor.

The match of the weekend took place in Manchester as City ran riot in front of their new Chairman, firing six unanswered goals past Portsmouth. The home side ripped apart Harry Redknapp's side from the get go, the Pompey's 3-5-2 line-up unable to withstand the City onslaught led by Brazilians Jo and British record signing Robinho, who made it two goals in two games with his new club.

In all, six different players got on the scoresheet: Jô (13), Richard Dunne (20), Robinho (57), Shaun Wright-Phillips (68), Ched Evans (78) and Fernandes Gelson (83).

In other matches, wins were recorded for Sunderland, West Ham, Blackburn and Aston Villa. Tottenham remains rooted at the bottom of the table with just 2 points from 5 matches.

EPL: Liverpool beats Manchester United at Anfield

September 15th 2008 04:15

Sat, Sep 13:

Liverpool 2 - 1 Man Utd
Blackburn 0 - 4 Arsenal
Fulham 2 - 1 Bolton
Newcastle 1 - 2 Hull
Portsmouth 2 - 1 Middlesbrough
West Brom 3 - 2 West Ham
Wigan 1 - 1 Sunderland
Man City 1 - 3 Chelsea

Sun, Sep 14:

Stoke 2 - 3 Everton

SUMMARY:

Every fan was looking forward to this weekend's Premier League action because it had all the ingredients for an explosive weekend. First there was arguably the biggest club match in world football - Liverpool vs. Man Utd; the match-up between two of the world's most cash-rich clubs: Man City vs Chelsea including the British record signing Robinho and whether Mike Ashley would survive the weekend as Newcastle takes on Hull for their first match since Kevin Keegan walked out on the club.

Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez finally got one over his Manchester United counterpart as the Reds beat United 2-1 at Anfield on Saturday - their first win in eight league games against their bitter rivals.

The early signs were not good for the home side as they fell behind to an early Carlos Tevez goal after a neat pass from new signing Dimitar Berbatov in the 3rd minute. But Liverpool never buckled under the pressure and were level with a Wes Brown own goal before dominating the second half, playing the best football they have played this season, and grabbed a priceless win with 13 minutes left when Dutch winger Ryan Babel came onto score the winner.

Arsenal turned on the style against Blackburn at Ewood Park by scoring four unanswered goals against Paul Ince's men. Emmanuel Adebayor became the second Gunner to score a hat-trick this week following teammate Theo Walcott's exploits for England earlier in the week.

The 19 year-old didn't get on the scoresheet in this match but he set up the opening goal for Robin van Persie in the eighth minute before Adebayor stole the limelight with three goals.

Meanwhile, new British record signing Robinho scored on debut for Manchester City but could not stop his side from falling to a 3-1 defeat against Chelsea. The Brazilian forward lashed home a superb 13th-minute free-kick but it was downhill all the way after that as Chelsea scored three times without reply to register a seventh straight win over the Sky Blues.

EPL: 'Perfect' starts ended

September 1st 2008 04:50

Sat, Aug 30:

Bolton 0 - 0 West Brom
Everton 0 - 3 Portsmouth
Hull 0 - 5 Wigan
Middlesbrough 2 - 1 Stoke
West Ham 4 - 1 Blackburn
Arsenal 3 - 0 Newcastle

Sun, Aug 31:

Chelsea 1 - 1 Tottenham
Sunderland 0 - 3 Man City
Aston Villa 0 - 0 Liverpool

SUMMARY:

Chelsea and Liverpool's perfect start to the new campaign was ended over the weekend after drawing with Tottenham and Aston Villa respectively while normal service was resumed for Arsenal (3-0 winners of Newcastle) and Wigan gave Premiership newbies Hull City a serious thrashing.

After a season-opening rout with new boss Luiz Felipe Scolari at the helm, Chelsea have yet to scale the same heights in their subsequent matches and this time they allowed London rivals Tottenham to earn their solitary point of the season.

Juliano Belletti gave the home side a deserved lead in the 27th minute but allowed the visitors to equalise against the run of play through Darren Bent on the stroke of half-time. Despite a frantic finish by Chelsea, Spurs were able to hang on for a draw to slightly ease the pressure on Juande Ramos.

Liverpool's sub-par form continued with an away trip to Aston Villa that ended 0-0. Reds' boss Rafa Benitez received a torrent of abuse from the home fans for his involvement in the Gareth Barry saga - not that it worried him in the slightest - but to see his no.1 striker Fernando Torres limp off on the stroke of half-time would have ruffled a few feathers.

Coupled with the fact that Captain marvel Steven Gerrard was out injured, the Reds lacked that extra cutting edge to break down Villa despite always in control of the match.

In the match of the weekend, Wigan destroyed Premiership new boys Hull City with a 5-0 rout that ended their fairytale start to life in the Premier League. The visitors ruthlessly punished the home side's woeful defending and all it took was an own goal by Sam Ricketts in only the fourth minute of the match to get things rolling.

Heading into the break at 2-0, Wigan added three more goals in the second half with striker Amr Zaki saving the best for last - a thunderous effort that came off the crossbar and down over the line.

In other matches, wins were recorded for Arsenal, Portsmouth, Middlesbrough, West Ham and Manchester City.
