It was a weekend to
savour for the majority of the top clubs in the country, with goals aplenty for
some of the Premier League’s most feared marksmen. Clean sheets were scarce
commodities, as strikers up and down the country ran riot; just another day for
one of the greatest football leagues in the world.
The story of the
weekend came from Stamford Bridge, as Chelsea
beat the formidable Man City 2-1, thanks to a
fortuitous late goal from recent goal-machine, Fernando Torres. A mix-up at the
back from the City defenders allowed the Spaniard to nip in and steal all three
of the points for the Blues, sending reverberations around the Premier League. A
potentially critical result in the grand scheme of things; one that may come
back to play a big part come the business end of the season.
The red half of
Manchester had a little more luck, but just barely, having fought back to win
3-2, after being behind twice at Old Trafford against a stubborn Stoke
side. Arsenal maintained their lead at the top
of the EPL with a hard fought 2-0 win over manager-less Crystal Palace; with
the Gunners playing with ten men for the best part of half an hour at Selhurst
Park.
Luis Suarez
continued his rich vein of form, smashing three past a bewildered West Brom, on
the way to a thumping 4-1 win; and Spurs
snatched a 1-0 win over Premier League new boys, Hull thanks to a late penalty
from big money man, Roberto Soldado.
