Weekend Filled With Action

The weekend fixtures put premiership doubters wrong with a sequence of thoroughly entertaining football. Arsenal comfortably won their home fixture over Man City although Robert Pires wasted a second penalty after bizarrely attempting to set up Henry and conceding a free-kick.

Man Utd could only scrape a draw after an early Silvestre goal was subsequently cancelled out by a superb Jermaine Jenas free-kick.

Liverpool continued their poor league form by losing to Chris Colemans Fulham. Collins John and Luis Boa Morte both scored to give Fulham the victory over a lacklustre Liverpool.

At Villa Park an Aaron Hughes own goal and an Alan Mahon strike gave Wigan a third away win of the season at Aston Villa. Wigan now climb up to fourth in the table.

Meanhile, Blackburn, Bolton, West Ham and Charlton all won their Matches.

Sunday definatley prooved a point to all the pesemistic punters out there. The early match kick off between local rivals Necastle and Sunderland contained four first half goals in four minutes. Shola Ameobi gained more needy confidance by grabbing two, whilst Liam Lawrence and Steven Elliot clinched two goals for Sunderland. However, Newcastle controlled with the dominating midfield combination of Solano, Emre, Parker, and the skillful N'Zogbia. The game was then finally won by the man of the match Emre with a superb curling free-kick.

Everton also held Chelsea to a draw at Goodison Park with James Beattie scoring from the penalty spot. Nevertheless Frank Lampard equalised with a super long range trademark shot. The game ended 1-1.
