Fellaini ban imminent as Benteke shocks Brendan Rogers & Liverpool
The Premier League weekend entertained once more and in all seven of Saturday’s matches, every team in action managed to find the net.
Manchester City got the ball rolling for the day when they went to Newcastle United and outclassed their opponents for the majority of the match. It was one of City’s best performances of the season and they ran out 3-1 winners.
Manchester United quickly responded though in their encounter against Sunderland at Old Trafford as they were victorious by the same score-line. Once again, Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie were on target for Sir Alex Ferguson’s side.
One of the shocks of the day came from Anfield as Aston Villa made it seven goals in their last two away matches as they beat Liverpool 3-1. It was the kind of result that Paul Lambert would have been dreaming of and it moved his team up to 14th, whereas Liverpool slipped into the bottom half.
Stoke City and Everton then played out a 1-1 draw, but it was three off-the-ball incidents involving Marouane Fellaini that grabbed all the headlines.
Norwich City then continued their impressive Premier League form with a 2-1 victory over Wigan Athletic, which moved them into seventh place. The Canaries are now unbeaten in ten top flight matches.
The wait is finally over for Queens Park Rangers now as well as they beat Fulham 2-1 to claim their first victory of the campaign. Harry Redknapp knows his men have to go on a superb run now, but will feel as though a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders.
Super Sunday did not really live up to its name this weekend as two games took place and just one goal was scored.
Tottenham Hotspur were the side to grab that goal as they defeated Swansea City at White Hart Lane. After that, West Bromwich Albion and West Ham United drew 0-0 in a game that will not live long in the memory.
Reading and Arsenal go head to head this evening, which rounds off the Premier League action for another week.
