Arsenal had to come back from the death again to secure a point with Sunderland, Man United look like they are getting back to normal with a easy win over Blackburn, West Brom got a scrappy win over Fulham & Middlesbrough got a away win over Wigan.
Sunderland thought they had pulled off a great win over Arsenal like Hull did before them but it ended in a 1-1 draw. Most of the action was in the second half & Arsenal thought they had taken the lead midway through when Van Persie had slotted a cut back from Theo Walcott but the linesman ruled that Walcott had taken the ball out before he cut it back so the goal was ruled off-side. Van Persie had another chance later on but he was guilty of missing a great chance when he was clear from 8 yards only for Gordon the parry it away. But it was the sub Leadbitter who came on with 5 minutes left collected the ball & ran straight at the Arsenal defence & smashed a shot that when in from the crossbar to put Sunderland Ahead. But in added time Arsenal pushing for that equalizer forced a corner which was floated over & Gorden raced out to clear it but Fabregas got there first to head into the goal & earn Arsenal a point..
Man United got back to winning way when they bear a Blackburn side 2-0 with some ease. The football match was all Man United as they passed the ball at will & scored there first goal through Wes Brown even though the Blackburn manager Paul Ince thought it was a foul on his goalkeeper. The second was another fantastic goal from Wayne Rooney when United were on the counter attack. Even Carlos Tevez hit the post towards the later stages of the game & showed why they are the champions…
Wigan now were a in form team found it hard against a stubborn Middlesbrough side & went down 1-0 in the end. Middlesbrough had restricted Wigan to half chances all game & made it hard for them. Wigan couldn’t find the killer pass even though Amr Zaki was trying to add to his 5 goals all ready this season but found the Middlesbrough keeper Ross Turnbull in fine form. The game was going towards a draw until the last minutes of the match when Downing climbed to head the ball into the ball of Aliadiere & he produced a fantastic finish past Chris Kirkland to give them all three points & a away win..
West Brom had a very vital win at home as they beat a not to good Fulham side 1-0. Although West Brom had some terrible finishing they could have won by more as Fulham didn’t really threaten in the match. It was striker Bednar who missed a lot of opportunities with some way wood finishing but he kept trying & got his reward on the hour mark. It was a corner into the box & Fulham couldn’t clear it & it ended up at Bednar’s feet for him to stab home from 2 yards out. Ryan Donk could have increased the lead but his header came off the post & the only real chance Fulham had was a free kick from Danny Murphy but that is as close as they got all afternoon…
