Fantasy Commentary

Summary of interesting matches this gameweek.

Manchester United 2-1 Liverpool

Manchester United has finally made a revenge after successfully reversed Liverpool 2-1 at Old Trafford.

The Reds is looked to complete the run of victories against United for two consecutive seasons when Fernando Torres headed in an unmarked header in as early as five minutes from the start. However, an unnecessary pull from Javier Mascherano against Antonio Valencia has seen Rooney on the spot in first half, in which he had to score from a rebound after a brilliant save by Pepe Reina.

The game then progressed as Park vs Reina as the South Korean was the one supplying various threatening attempts towards Liverpool's net and it was no surprise when Park Ji Sung headed in a brilliant goal in 59th minute.

The remainder of the game saw Torres missed to perfect chances supplied to him which ultimately cost Liverpool three points and also their chances to get into top four. A strong display by United's defence this time, especially Nemanja Vidic who didn't complete his quadruple of red cards against Liverpool this time.

Final score - Park Ji Sung 1, Reina 0.

The proud of Asia.

Manchester City 0-2 Everton

The Eastlanders have made the chase for fourth much more interesting after dropping full three points to the Toffees.

Despite City's domination in possession, Tim Cahill was the one who scored the first goal of the match.

Tim Howard performed various brilliant saves before Arteta eventually sealed the game 2-0 for them which allowed his team to get closer for Europa League aspirations.

"I'm unstoppable!"

All Games

Aston Villa was the loser of the week managing to only get 2 points from their possible 6.

Chelsea has officially lost their lead after a 1-1 draw with Blackburn, although they have quickly rebounded through a 5-0 demolition of Portsmouth.

Iain Dowie is nothing better than Phil Brown to be successfully reversed by Portsmouth 3-2.

Eidur Gudjohnsen benefited from Pavlyuchenko's injury as he was substituted in for the game and became the crucial factor for Tottenham's victory against Stoke City.

Arsenal achieved a tough victory against West Ham with Vermaelen being sent off and Bendtner being injured.

Wolverhampton is now almost freed from relegation crisis after snatching four points from this crucial gameweek.

Another hero of Tottenham emerged.
