England: United knock off Arsenal; Chelsea hit their stride

Written by: Stephen Sharp(soccer-europe.com)

 

MANCHESTER, Apr 9 (SW) - Manchester United saw off rivals Arsenal with a victory at Old Trafford on Sunday, but they gained no ground on leaders Chelsea who overcame early adversity to crush West Ham United.

 

Manchester United - Arsenal 2-0

 

In front of a Premiership record crowd of 70,908 fans, Wayne Rooney twice nearly gave them the lead in the first half, but on both occasions new German number one Jens Lehmann thwarted the young striker.

 

That was not the case, though, in the 54th minute as Rooney gave United the lead with a thunderous shot after a nice ball in from Mikaël Silvestre, but Arsenal equalized through Emmanuel Adebayor, but his shot went over the bar.

 

The match was beyond doubt with 12 minutes to play as Rooney's cross found Ji-Sung Park, and the Korea Republic midfielder slotted home to secure the win.

 

Chelsea - West Ham United 4-1

 

Attempting to fend off a late challenge from United, Chelsea found their form on Sunday, thrashing London rivals West Ham at Stamford Bridge, despite an early deficit and dismissal.

 

Hammers center-back James Collins fired the visitors into the lead after just ten minutes when he headed home a Yossi Benayoun corner, and then Chelsea's situation got worse six minutes later as Maniche was given a straight red card for his harsh tackle on Lionel Scaloni.

 

The dismissal only seemed to open up things a bit for the Blues and they found an equalizer through Didier Drogba in the 29th minute, the Ivorian striker converting on the second chance after a long ball from Frank Lampard. Just two minutes later, Chelsea took the lead as Hernán Crespo pounced on a deflected Drogba shot.

 

West Ham were reeling despite having the extra man over Chelsea, but the Blues kept coming and skipper John Terry made it 3-1 in the 54th minute following a William Gallas shot off the crossbar, and Gallas finally got one of his own in the 69th minute to complete the rout.

 

Liverpool - Bolton Wanderers 1-0

 

Liverpool continued to strengthen their hold on third place as they beat a slipping Bolton side at Anfield Road. The results leaves Bolton's hopes of getting into the Champions League hanging by a thread.

 

Fan-favorite Robbie Fowler struck the winning goal for the Reds on the stroke of half-time from 18 yards out after some nice play between he and Peter Crouch.

 

Bolton never really got anything going for most of the game, and Liverpool held on with relative ease to claim the victory.

 

Middlesbrough - Newcastle United 1-2

 

After a thrilling comeback in the UEFA Cup on Thursday, Middlesbrough fell back to down to earth with a home loss to Newcastle.

 

Under a high amount of pressure from the Magpies attack, Boro's George Boateng gave Newcastle the lead just shy of the half-hour mark when the ball went in the net off of him with a sea of players converging.

 

Newcastle doubled the lead just before half-time when Shola Ameobi took advantage of an error by teammate Stephen Carr to beat Mark Schwarzer for a 2-0 lead.

 

Boateng put one in the right net in the 79th minute after a chested-down ball by Mark Viduka, and they nearly pulled level late on with a free kick by Fabio Rochemback, but Shay Given made a fantastic save.

 

Aston Villa - West Bromwich Albion 0-0

 

With the prospect of relegation staring them in the face, West Brom will rue their lack of finishing as they played to a 0-0 draw with rivals Villa.

 

Everyone struggled to put away gilt-edged chances for the Baggies, who remain one point deep in the relegation zone, behind Birmingham City.

 

 

 

ahahahahaha!!! panalo, ManU over Arsenal, 2-0, great goals from Rooney & Park, dahil sa loss, Arsenal moves to 6th place behind Blackburn Rovers, lakas ng Blackburn ngayon, matindi ang laban ng Blackburn&Tottenham for the last CL berth..

 

galing ng performance ng back 4, good combination ni Ferdinand-Vidic in the middle of the defense with Silvestre at leftback & Neville at rightback..

 

galing tlga ng Chelsea, w/ ten men, 4-1 winners over West Ham United, Maniche was red-carded pero panalo pa din sila..

 

magiging exciting ang race for the title nito..go ManU!!!

yaiks... nakalimutan ko ang blackburn...

 

i'm still betting on the spurs to secure the final CL slot... mas may pedigree naman silang maglaro sa CL... at maganda ang past record nila sa european competition... ilang beses na nilang napanalunan ang uefa cup...

I also hope that the Spurs will be able to secure the last spot. They're yet to face Everton (April 15), ManU (April 17), Arsenal (April 22), and then Bolton (April 30). Sana matalo Bolton sa Sat (vs. Chelsea).

Lipat na kayo global Destiny, hehe, sarap manood ng football channels nila. they have 2 channels that show football plus ESPN and STar Sports. they showed the ManU vs Arsenal game plus the othe EPL games live ( Chelsea vs West ham and Liverpool vs bolton ) that time. The best ang Supersport3. :)

wala kwenta talaga ESPN at Star Sports dito sa pinas, don't expect them to show any football games. Just watch it in the internet or switch cable providers.

okay lang na kalaban ang everton... kaso mahirap 'yung mga sunod na laban...

 

i'm betting on arsenal na manalo sa CL... in the new rule... the champion will automatically have a place in the competition to defend their title...

Go Sunderland! Soon to be champions in the... Championship!!! :P

 

Tingin nyo ba magkakaroon ng impact ang Reading sa Premiership? Nilalampaso nila ang championship ngayon hehehe...

 

A week ago, written off na ang ManUtd sa title hunt sabi sa Final Score, kasi nga naman napakaimposible hehehe...

 

Sana Tottenham ang 4th tapos talo Arsenal sa CL, tapos sa sobrang asar ni henry lilipat siya sa chelsea :lol:

bwiset!!! 0-0 to sunderland..that sucks..well you win some, you lose some..go ManU!!..excited na ko makita kung sino magiging bagong players ng ManU..

 

feeling ko sa Tottenham na talaga ang last place for the Champions League, masama talaga nilalaro ng Arsenal domestically, mas ok pa nga ang laro ng Blackburn sa kanila..

 

pag hindi nagchampion Arsenal sa CL, goodbye Thierry Henry..san kaya siya pupunta? ang rumors sa Barcelona daw..ang tinding attacking formation nun..Eto'o & Henry upfront tpos Ronaldinho & Deco, grabe siguro yun, dudurugin na lahat ng kalaban nila..
