Game Week 6- Review

Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal produced one of their most entertaining encounters in recent years with Arsenal winning the game 1-3. Martin Jol's side took the lead with a trademark free-kick from Gareth Bale but Emmanuel Adebayor squared the match when heading past Paul Robinson in the 65th minute. A stunning long-range effort from Cesc Fabregas made it 2-1 to the visitors and Adebayor rounded off the scoring with a sumptuous volley late on.

Manchester United secured their third 1-0 win in a row thanks to a late Nemanja Vidic header at Everton. United manager Sir Alex Ferguson will surely be pleased with the manner in which his side grinded out victory at Goodison Park.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was left frustrated after watching his side held to a 0-0 draw by Blackburn Rovers at Stamford Bridge. The Blues have now dropped five points in their last two matches.

Another encounter which surely demonstrated the strength of the Barclays Premier League this season was Liverpool's visit to Portsmouth. The match ended 0-0, but Pompey manager Harry Redknapp was left to rue Kanu's first-half penalty miss. Jose Reina dived to his right to keep out the Nigerian's penalty in the first-half after Alvaro Arbeloa had been penalised for hand-ball.

West Ham United continue to climb the table and are up to sixth after a fine 3-0 win over Middlesbrough at Upton Park. A Lee Bowyer strike and an own-goal from Luke Young either side of half-time put the Hammers in the ascendancy but the biggest cheer of the day was for Dean Ashton who struck in the 62nd minute to end a 16 month goal drought.

Wigan Athletic manager Chris Hutchings was also dealt a blow after Emile Heskey broke a metatarsal in the 1-1 draw with Fulham at the JJB Stadium. The England international will now be out for up to six weeks with the injury. Clint Dempsey gave Fulham a first-half lead but Jason Koumas equalised from the penalty spot to make it 1-1.

Sunderland got their second win on the board after seeing off the threat of Reading at the Stadium of Light. Kenwyne Jones was a constant thorn in Reading's side and gave his team the lead when he turned smartly and drilled a shot low into the bottom corner. Ross Wallace made it 2-0 and although Dave Kitson pulled a goal back for the visitors late on, they could not find an equaliser. Manager Steve Coppell will be looking for an improvement from his side after a disappointing display in this 2-1 defeat.

Birmingham City addedem more misery to Bolton's terrible start to this season.Olivier Kapo's first-half strike was enough to see off Bolton Wanderers 1-0 at St Andrews.

In Sunday's match, Manchester City's Michael Johnson enhanced his growing reputation with the only goal in a 1-0 win over Aston Villa. The youngster showed terrific determination to outmuscle the Villa defence before firing low past Scott Carson. City are up to second off the back of this win.
