Hi football fans this week was a huge week in the English Premier League with many crucial games as times fight against relegation and others fight for Champions League and Premiership Glory. Today we will be focusing on three major games: Tottenham vs Balckburn, Chelsea vs QPR and the Manchester Derby: Manchester United vs Manchester Ctiy.
Tottenham v Blackburn (2-0 Tottenhma Win)
This was a huge game with both teams desperate for a win for two different reasons. Tottenham was eager to end its dissapointing form slump and jump back into champions league contention while Blackburn was eager to win back to back matches and edge out of the relegation zone. however the game told a different story. It was clear that Tottenham were more desperate than Blackburn in front of a home crowd they dominated the game with over 60% possession and while the score was 2-0 they should have at least put 5 or six past blackburn with the post and side net being hit 5 times. Goals from Van Der vaart and a class free kick from Walker sealed the game for the spurs to keep them in the hunt. The Surprise however was how blackburn coach acted, for a desperate side blackburn lacked attacking options and the formation wasnt changed til it was too late. Blackburn had not one shot on goal, the first time a professional team hasnt had a shot since 2004.
Chelsea v QPR (6-1 Chelsea Win)
Torres, Hat Trick and Chelsea are not usually words you hear in the same sentence, however this was the case when chelsea came up against QPR on the weekend. Chelsea who were buoyed by their champion League semi-final win against Barcelona the previous week netted six goals past QPR who had beaten Tottenham in the previous week. Fernando Torres shined with three goals and three class finishes. Torres who has gained alot of confidence in recent weeks following some good performances has finally shown why he was worth over 50milion dollars and now it seem the joke is on Liverpool management and fans who let Torres go and now sit outside the top 6.
Manchester United v Manchester United (1-0 City Win)
Anticipated as one of the biggest games in English Premier League History, it was highlighted by many footballing experts that the winner of this game would be the winner of the English Premiership title. Before the game United were up by three points on the table however City had the higher goal difference and a win by City would mean City would Leapfrog United to the top. The game had an intnese atmosphere with over 60000 fans attending. Vincent Kompany headed a goal in first time with a header to put City in front. however the game was notable for the controversy on the sideline with United COach Sir Alex Fergusen accusing City coach Roberto Mancini if badgering the referee. the score remained the same ome 90 minutes and City Takes home the three points. While City is set to take the Premiership Trophy for the first time in over 30 years it needs to be weary of Newcastle United who is clearly a threat especially as newcastle pushes for a Champions League position. It is clear that the winner of the Premier League this year must win both games, exciting times Ahead!!!
By the Way Go SPURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
