Premier League round up this weekend


There were some interesting matches on this weekend and Chelsea v Liverpool must have been the pick of the lot. Liverpool eventually ran out 1-0 winners and that will have done wonders to their title hopes. Xabi Alonso was the one who got the goal at the 10 minute mark and since then Chelsea couldn't find any way back. This puts Liverpool three points ahead of Chelsea who are in second place with 20 points. It also ends Chelsea's' stupendous unbeaten run at home which had stretched to just under 90 matches!
Arsenal's young guns got a comfortable win over 10 men West Ham. Although it took them until 75 minutes to break the dead lock with an own goal from Faubert, they were in the lead and definately deserved their win.
Man Utd however succumbed to a 1-1 draw with sturdy Everton. In-form Darren Fletcher opened the scoring after combining well with Ryan Giggs and then finishing through Howards' legs. The Reds looked on top but in the second half Everton came out and equalized, Fellaini getting the goal after good work from P.Neville.
Else where struggling Tottenham got a good win over Bolton with goals from both their strikers, Pavluchenko and Bent getting on the score sheet, the latter with a penalty.
