Everton managed to salvage a deserved point of Man United, Sunderland win the derby & have bragging writes over Newcastle, Hull continue to impress with a away win over West Brom & Blackburn could only draw against Middlesbrough..
In the live game that kick off at noon Everton faced Man United at Goodison Park where they haven’t won a game this season where Man United were after there 7th successive win in all competitions. Everton didn’t start the first half very well as Man United dominated & went a goal ahead when Giggs found Darren Fletcher which clever little pass & he finished to give United a deserved lead. In fact they should have had the game all done & dusted by half time but Tim Howard was in inspired form as he kept out Vidic, Giggs & Ronaldo. The second half was completely different as Everton got into the faces of Man United players & it seemed to rattle them & it was the 64th minute when the equaliser came as Fellaini rose above everyone n the United defence to head home a Phil Neville cross. As Everton got more possession they could have won it but Yakubu hit the post after a Rio Ferdinand error & a Van Der Sar save but it ended 1-1
Sunderland now have the bragging writes in the Tyne & Ware derby after winning for the first time in 28 years at home 2-1 over Newcastle. It was even to start off with but the deadlock was broken after 20 minutes Steed Malbranque took a shot that Shay Given saved but as it came out it was Djibril Cisse’s outstretched leg that poked it into the net. But it only took Newcastle 12 minuted to get back into the game from a Geremi free-kick that has headed into the net by Ameobi who has now scored in successive games. The game looked to be heading for a draw but it took a spectacular winner to seal the bragging writes it came from Kiran Richardson who scored with a stunning goal from a free kick there was no way back for Newcastle & it gave Sunderland the win but the game was marred by the crowed trouble that appeared after the final whistle..
Hull continued to defy the odds as they came away from the Hawthorns 3-0 winners against West Brom. They have a lot to thank there goal keeper Boaz Myhill though as he made some out standing saves from West Brom Player’s Robert Koren, Borja Valero & James Morrison & Jonas Olsson went & hit the crossbar with a close range header in the first half which West Brom Dominated but couldn’t score. It was the second half that Hull took advantage of West Broms problems at the back Hull’s first goal was a defensive error their second was good interplay between Marlon King & Geovanni which saw the Brazilian score with a diving header. Their third was a breakaway goal which saw West Brom commit many men forward & on the brake & Marlon King had a perfect first touch to slot the ball past Scott Carson..
There was late drama at Ewood Park as Blackburn & Middlesbrough fought out a 0-0 draw. Blackburn had most of the possession in the game but Middlesbrough was always there or there abouts. Both teams managed big efforts to take the lead in the first half as they hit the crossbar it also saw Tuncay Sanli flagged for off-side when clearly he wasn’t. The second half was just has close & Middlesbrough snatched the lead whit not long left through Afonso Alyes who smashed the ball from out side the penalty box. But 4 minutes into injury time the game looked won for Middlesbrough but up popped Benni McCarthy unmarked in the box to head home & give Blackburn a share of the points..
