Premier Leagueleaders impress

Nathan McMahon

This past week saw the continued
thrust by the league’s top teams to pull away
from each other in the race for the title.
Remaining at the’top of the league is Arsenal
who earned 3 points in a comprehensive 2—0
win over Fulham, getting goals from getting a
brace of goals from Santi Cazorla in the span of
five minutes.

This gives Arsenal 51 points, one

point clear of second place Manchester City.
Fulham remains just one point out of the bottom
three with 19 points after the arrival of loan
player Clint Dempsey.

Manchester City meanwhile
continued their rampant goal scoring in a 4-2
win over struggling Cardiff City where Vincent
Tan rules with an iron fist. This has brought
City’s goal tally to 100 on the season seeing goals
from Edin Dzeko, Jesus Navas, Yaya Toure, and
Sergio Aguero. City sits in second place with
50 points while Cardiff is in the bottom three

with 18 points. In a show of Chelsea’s continued
improvement as a team under Mourinho and
Manchester United’s disappointing season,
Chelsea took down the reigning champs 3-1.

Samuel Eto’o scored all three goals
to show his true talent and quiet the critics of
Chelsea’s striker force. Chelsea remains tight to
the top in third with 49 points with Moyes’ men
losing ground on the top four in seventh with
37 points.

To round out the top four is Liverpool
who really struggled against a resilient Aston

Villa who looked like the better side on the day.
The game ended in a 2—2 draw with Liverpool
coming back from a 2-0 deficit after goals from
Steven Gerrard and Daniel Sturridge who
made his first start after a long injury spell. The
salvaged point gives Liverpool 43 on the year,
keeping them in the top four over Tottenham
on goal differential while Villa sits in the
middle of the table with 24 points. The race
for Champion’s League soccer next season is
only going to continue to intensify as the season
progresses.
