Game Week 11- Review

Chelsea put on a six-goal super show at Stamford Bridge to defeat Manchetser City. The Blues biggest win of the season came thanks to a Didier Drogba double and goals from Michael Essien, Joe Cole, Salomon Kalou and Andriy Shevchenko. Despite starting brightly Sven-Goran Eriksson's men had no answer to the attacking power of the west London side.

Manchester United swept off Boro with a 4-1 vicstory at home. Manchester United's Nani opened the scoring early on in an exciting encounter at Old Trafford. Jeremie Alliadiere equalised for the visitors just three minutes later. A Wayne Rooney goal on the 33rd minute was followed by a brace from Carlos Tevez in the second half to break the 100 year record of concecutive matches with four goals scored.

Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas continued his impressive run of goal scoring form when he canceled out Liverpool's lead late on. The home side went in front after captain Steven Gerrard scored directly from a free kick. The result sees Arsenal overtake Manchester United in the Barclay's Premier League table and regain top spot.

Newly appointed Spurs head coach Juande Ramos looked on from the directors box as Christopher Samba scored in injury time to grab all three points for the visitors. Tottenham took the lead through a Robbie Keane penalty before Benni McCarthy equalised. Rovers have now extended their winning run to four Barclays Premier League matches, while Spurs remain in the bottom three.

Luke Moore scored an equaliser for Villa, to prevent Bolton Wanderers' new manager Gary Megson from a victorious first match in charge of the Trotters. The home side took the lead through a Nicolas Anelka strike. The result leaves Villa still looking for their first away win of the season, while Bolton move one place off the foot of the Barclays Premier League table.

Goals from Ayegbeni Yakubu and Mikel Arteta handed all three points to Everton, as Derby County continued their run of poor goal scoring form. Everton have now climbed to eleventh in the Barclays Premier League table, while Derby remain in the relegation zone.

Former Juventus player Olivier Kapo was the Birmingham City hero as he scored a late winner for Steve Bruce's side against Wigan Athletic at St Andrews. City had twice fallen in arrears to a two-goal blast from Marcus Bent only for a Kapo penalty and skipper Liam Ridgewell's first goal for the club to bring Blues back on level terms before a dramatic finish.

Kenwyne Jones headed home a late equaliser to end 10-man Sunderland's losing run in the Barclays Premier League. The striker claimed his third goal in as many games after Greg Halford had been sent off for a second bookable offence. Fulham had taken the lead in the first half through a superb free kick from Simon Davies, but their saviour was Anti Niemi with a dramatic injury time save.

A late goal from substitute Shane Long handed all three points to Reading. Dave Kitson's opener for the Royals was cancelled out by a Michael Duberry own goal mid way through the second half. The two goals from the home side mean that Newcastle's 18 away league match run with out a clean sheet continues.

West Ham United goalkeeper Robert Green saved an injury time Benjani penalty to ensure it was honours even at Fratton Park. The nil-nil draw brings Portsmouth's run of four successive Barclay's Premier League wins to an end, while a point for the Hammers is their first in three away league matches.
