Liverpool vs Man Utd … Arsenal vs Chelsea

Yesterday was the weekend big two matches between the top four teams in the Premiership. I believe now it will be a two horse race between my beloved Man Utd and Arsenal , with their respective win yesterday

The first big match went my way with Man Utd winning, and I was hoping Gunners would either lose or draw so as we can stay on top of the league table. Aiya, but Gunners won. I guess going into the new year, it’s exciting to see the top four trying to climb the league ladder but for now, the consensus believe it will be a Man Utd or Arsenal for the title this year

Liverpool 0 vs 1 Manu

I think the Red Devils played a good counter attacking game earlier this morning, they got the men behind the ball and absorb any raids by the Reds. Manu’s Anderson I think played well despite his young age

Liverpool should have put Ryan Babbel earlier on, as he was menacing down the left flanks. Second half saw the Reds quite desperate, pumping long balls hoping the substitute Peter Crouch will latch on the ball, and hoping for the miracle.

Scorer: Tevez off a corner that Rooney shot and he latch on it (43min)

Arsenal 1 vs 0 Chelsea

The very one mistake Cech did, and it resulted in a goal by a fine header off William Gallas, the former Chelsea defender, who was offloaded by his former team. Payback you might say. It is not the first time Gallas scores crucial goals for the Gunners, and he’s quite a talisman for them these days

Chelsea played better in the second half with the inclusion of Pizzarro and and Kalou. Makelele and Mikel was ineffective in midfield. Their jobs to stifle the Gunners midfield was a joke. Although Chelsea’s keeper Peter Cech redeemed himself with amazing countless goalmouth saves, it was his first half mistake that led to the winning goal and it stayed that way. Soccer can be cruel at times, as I saw fit this game as a draw
