Yesterday saw only two premier league fixtures played and as usual, the premier league delivered nothing but high-paced excitement and enjoyment. The fixtures saw Everton take on a Manchester United side which recently garnered some momentum before meeting Chelsea last week and then, the most likely winners face off against a resilient Arsenal side who looked stronger than ever after a confidence-boosting run of 9 domestic wins.
The "Super Sunday" (as days with matches this important are called) kicked off with Manchester United's travel to Goodison Park where they suffered a second loss in two games after losing 1-0 to Chelsea last time. This took the tally of home wins for the toffees against the red devils to 3 consecutive seasons. A shock 3-0 loss saw McCarthy open the scoring within five minutes with two brilliant goals from John Stones and Kevin Mirallas to seal a win that hindered Manchester United from climbing up to second place on the log.
Next off was a London derby between two bitter rivals. It kicked off with Arsenal aiming to dent Chelsea's title hopes with a morale boosting win over the league leaders. That was not to be the case as both clubs tried hard to produce something out of the fixture all to no avail. The game was barren of goals, but certainly not devoid of action and controversy as opportunities were created and penalty claims were turned down by referee Michael Oliver. The match was also ignited by the sideline rivalry of the two managers Arsene Wenger and JoseMourinho which failed to cause controversy on the day. Chelsea defended well as is known of them against a stronger Arsenal team who pressed earnestly for a winning goal. Another talking point was the return of former Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas and how he received boos from the majority of the arsenal faithful.
