Weekend Roundup 4/27/09
This weekend's premier league action started off with a Manchester City 2-1 win over Everton in which Robinho scored one of the two goals for City. Robinho has been the victim of a good deal of criticism over the last few weeks due to the lack of goals that he has scored for his new club. Solomon Kalou grabbed the win for Chelsea on Saturday beating West Ham 1-0. These three points added to Liverpool's reacent draw allowed Chelsea to move within 3 points of Liverpool. Also on Saturday Bolton pulled off a 1-1 draw against 5th place Aston Villa. Stoke suffered a 1-0 defeat to Fulham, and in an amazing relegation battle West Brom beat Sunderland 3-0. The win for West Brom could prove to be vital to their survival in the premier league. Liverpool beat Hull City 3-1 on Saturday ( no surprise there.) The big game this weekend turned out to be the Tottenham vs. Manchester United that ended in a 2-5 Manchester United Victory. The first half of this game was probably enough to put many United fans on the verge of a heart attack. Tottenham's Darren Bent and Luca Modric each scored goals in the first half. The second half was a much different story. United won a very controversial penalty kick which Ronaldo finished cooly. However, upon replay it was evident that the penalty was falsely awarded. According to Spur's boss Harry Redknapp, " the penalty changed the game." United followed up the penalty with 3 more goals in quick succession, and the fifth goal came from ex- Tottenham player Dimitar Berbatov. All of United's goals were the result of poor defending on the part of Tottenham, who could have come away with the win at Old Trafford. Man U remain at the top of the Table 3 points ahead of Liverpool and Tottenham dropped down to 10th. On Sunday Arsenal beat Middlesbrough 2-0 thanks to 2 goals from Cesc Fabregas, also on Sunday Blackburn beat Wigan 2-0 despite the return of striker Amir Zaki for Wigan who was in sensational form at the Beginning of the Season.
