Liverpool remains on the top of the league by defeating Bolton 3-0 at Anfield. Robbie Keane scored two goals in the second half to take his tally to 3 goals in two matches. Liverpool dominated the match and deserved to win. Chelsea played very professionally to defeat West Brom 2-0. Chelsea scored both goals in the first half. Manchester United overcame the jetlag to defeat Stoke 1-0. Tevez scored the winner in the 84th minute. But the turning of the match was sent off of Wilkinson. He needlessly fouled Ronaldo in the 72nd minute for his second yellow card. With this defeat Stroke moved into the relegation zone. It will be very difficult for them to move out of this zone.
Manchester City crushed Hull 5-1. Caicedo and Robinho scored twice. They were leading 4-0 at halftime. Manchester city have to be consistent to finish on the top. They moved out of the relegation zone. But Hull started to slip. This is their second consecutive big defeats. They now conceded 9 goals in last two matches after drawing 2-2 with Liverpool. It will not be easy for them to qualify for Europe if they do not improve.
Arsenal and Aston Villa played a thrilling 2-2 draw. Aston Villa should have won this match. They have hot the crossbar thrice in the first half. Aston Villa are now placed fourth whereas Arsenal is lying in the fifth position.
Everton moved quietly in the sixth position with a 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough. Middlesbrough is now lying 17th position. Tottenham who played a 0-0 draw with Fulham is in the 16th position. Middlesbrough, Tottenham, and Stroke all have 20 points. Sunderland played a 0-0 draw with Blackburn who is still in the relegation zone.
Wigan defeated Newcastle 2-1 and West Ham defeated Portsmouth 4-1 to register valuable win.
More excitement will be on Sunday. I will be more interested in the relegation zone battles.
