With the Premier League games done for the week, the world waits to see the results for tomorrows UEFA Champion's League results between Manchester United and Chelsea.
United's victory against West Ham was crucial for the team, knowing that if Arsenal achieved a win against the Rover's would show they we're still for a challenge to earn the title Premier League champions, however Arsenal were unable to be in top form against the lower table team Blackburn, drawing with a 1:1.
Newcastle made sure the Wolves were unable to advance from the relegation zone with an immense win of 4:1 at St. James Park.
Liverpool were unable to advance, the better team ending up the worst when they took on West Brom. Though Liverpool were able to make the first goal after a less then exciting first half, courtesy of defender Martin Skrtel, West Brom's midfielder Chris Brunt was able to make both awarded penalty kicks into the net, ending the game with a score of 2:1, a victory for West Bromwich Albion at home.
Birmingham City advanced from the relegation zone thanks to a win against Bolton, ending at 2:1 at St. Andrews.
Other then the games stated above, the rest were all draws on Saturday's fixtures. As stated, Arsenal drew with Blackburn with much surprise, neither team able to make a goal. This was the same result for Wigan and Tottenham, the Hotspurs also defeated in the EUFA CL game against Real Madrid, losing 4:0 at Santiago Bernabeu.
Everton and Aston Villa drew with a score of 2:2, Leon Osman making the only goal in the first half. During the second it would have seemed Villa were going to win as they picked their game up with two goals made by Darren Bent, however a penalty kick was awarded from an unneeded challenge made by Jean Makoun against Phil Jagielka within the box. Leighton Baines stood before the goal, able to make the PK giving them the equalizer.
Stoke City hosted Chelsea at Britannia Stadium, the game ending with an amazing 1:1 draw as well. Stoke started the game off with a goal only 8 minutes in, only to have an equalizer made at the 33ed by Didier Drogba. Both teams used all three of their substitutions in the second half, as well three yellow cards being issued. Neither team were able to get an advantage over the other however, the second half ending goalless.
Sunday's two games were very one sided for the two teams that saw victory.
Manchester City went above and beyond against Sunderland, winning 5:0 thanks to goals made by Johnson, Tevez with a penalty kick, Silva, Vieira, and Yaya Toure. They are now a point above Chelsea on the PL Table.
Fulham took on Blackpool at home, giving Fulham fans the joy of a 3:0 victory. Bobby Zamora scored two goals within the first half, the only thing given to Blackpool being a yellow card to striker Charlie Adam. Though Fulham was given two yellow cards within the second, Dickson Etuhu was able to seal the deal with a third goal at the 72ed minute.
