Nothing much has changed at the top-six of the table. City keeps its unbeaten record and the top place as well as the five-points lead over the current runner-up rivals Man Utd. Newcastle on the other hand became the 19th team to lose a game in this season.
The Devils still keeps its campaign hot despite a slim 1-0 win over Swansea on Saturday. Same goes for Arsenal whose side had beaten Norwich side by just a 1-2 margin. I can’t comment much about the Spurs and Aston since they will only play each other on Monday night.
But a lot can be said regarding the Blues and the Reds. Chelsea lost another big game in their own yard. Glen Johnson’s goal in the 87th minute loosens Blue’s grip on their fourth place in the league. It certainly looks like Torres has yet to find his scoring boot for now. In fact, the only thing he did in this weekend’s match was to sit on the bench and watch the Blues plunder again in another decisive match.
Although Red’s victory means that we are not going up the league this weekend, but now the last UCL spot is definitely open to us. In fact, it’s open to us,Liverpool, our bitter rival Spurs, and of course the current holder Chelsea. The league is getting more and more competitive than it already is.
There’s no change in the bottom of the table since the Bolton lost to West Brom and Blackburn stalemated the last-placed Wigan.
Here’s the last weekend fixtures and results.
Norwich C. 1 – 2 Arsenal
Everton 2 – 1 Wolverhampton W.
Manchester C. 3 – 1 Newcastle U.
Stoke C. 2 – 3 Queens Park R.
Sunderland 0 – 0 Fulham
West Bromwich A.2 – 1 Bolton W.
Wigan Athletic 3 – 3 Blackburn R.
Swansea C. 0 – 1 Manchester U.
