so another week of premiership.. and what an outcome it turned to be..
Arsenal,starting 2points clear of Manchester United with a game in hand
faltered at home to Middlesbrough 1-1 needing a late goal from Kolo Toure
to earn a share of the spoils with Middlesbrough.
Liverpool came back from a goal down to beat Reading 2-1 at anfield with
Torres yet scoring again. boring,boring,boring.
Chelsea closed the gap on Arsenal by beating Sunderland with John Terry
scoring with a bullet header which gave them the narrowest victory over
relegation-threatened Sunderland.
Meaning rock solid bottom-placed Derby hosted Manchester United in
what turned out to be a thrilling match. Derby's showdown and resistance
were so good that they could have took their 2chances in 1first half minute
to lead ManUnited 2-0 at the break. Instead , they failed to take their
chances, and in the 76th minute, their resistance were finally broken
when Rooney picked up a loose ball from the left wing and crossed in
perfectly bouncing into the path of Cristiano Ronaldo who tapped the ball
into the back of the net with a flying kung fu tap. It was Cristiano Ronaldo's
31st goal for ManUnited of the season, one short of George Best who had
32 in a season in the 40s. Ronaldo missed the chance to make it 2-0
with the bullet free kick, and missed the chance to score again in a 1-on-1
situation with former ManUnited employee, Roy Carroll. Ronaldo had
hit the post earlier in the game and saw Carroll pull off a string of saves.
in the end, it was good work and defensive display by Derby.
if they play like this against the other teams, they might make the top ten.
