WHAT THE?…THE PREM, ROUND 15

Written by: Tyler

WHAT THE? is my weekly Premiership review with only the interesting events that should not have happened in the first place.

This round was a little more entertaining than the ties of last week.

• Who said Arsenal was done? Chelsea hosted Arsenal in a must win game if Arsenal had any chance winning the Prem this season. Van Persie took the game into his hands and scored twice in 3 second half minutes to lead Arsenal to a 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge. Arsenal still has a lot of work to do but this was a big blow for Chelsea as they try to keep up with Liverpool at the top of the table.

• Speaking of Liverpool, they had a chance to go 3 points clear at the top when they met West Ham on Monday at Anfield. Unfortunately they were held to a 0-0 draw which now puts them at the top of the table by 1 point instead of a potential 3. I’m pulling for Liverpool this year because I would like to see someone other than Chelsea, Man U and Arsenal win it.

• Tottenham lost their first game at home under Redknapp with a 0-1 lost to Everton. Tottenham are still out of the relegated zone but only based on goal differential. Still too close for comfort.

• Two of the new boys meet with Stoke and Hull battling to a 1-1 draw. Hull City is still battling for a place in Europe, currently sitting in 6th, 2 points behind Aston Villa.

• The Manchester derby was this weekend and dog supplement
  saw plenty of talking before the game with Man U players claiming the new money backing Man City wont help them against their in town rivals. Manchester United backed up the talk with a 1-0 win at the Eastlands. The lone goal was scored by Rooney and saw Ronaldo sent off in the 68th minute. Manchester is still 6 points from the top with one game in hand.
