Midweek Fixtures,Results n Goal Scorers

With most of the epl teams playing 3 games this week,everyone knew that selection of players was going to be a dilemma for all the managers. Most managers rested key players who played a part last weekend and were likely to play a major part during the weekend.
Chelase were held at Villa park after Arjen Robben gave them the lead. Villa were lucky as Chelsea missed a penalty and a normally brilliant defence let the Villians score a second half goal.
Manchester Utd n Blackburn Rovers were involved in a 7 goal thriller at Ewood Park. Rio Ferdinand had a real nightmarish game. He was responsible for Rovers 2nd goal n also got sent off late in the 2nd half. New signing David Bentley scored a hat trick. Lucas Neil was also on the scoresheet for Rovers as they completed a double after 75 years on Machester Utd.
Arsenal are under real pressure now,as they suffered one more defeat,this time at home to fellow Londoners, West Ham United. Nigel Reo Coker opened the scoring in this match with a real stunner. Wham were leading 2-0 at one stage before Henry pulled one back before half time. Both sides added 1 more goal each to their tally as West Ham recorded a major upset.
Liverpool's impressive home run wasn't the only thing Blackburn had to contend with as they played Liverpool at Anfield. Simon Johnson got send off midway through the 1st half after making a two footed challenge on Liverpool debutant, Danny Agger. Liverpool opened the scoring in the 2nd half and the win looked certain until, Xabi Alonso chested the ball in the back of his own net in the 88th minute. Liverpool couldv'e stolen a late win,but they were denied first by Taylor,when he made a brilliant save of a freekick taken by Alonso. After that Didi Hamann hit the post for Liverpool n then in the dying seconds, Robbie Fowler almost made it a dream comeback. He scored from a spectacular bycycle kick,but only to be denied by the linesman.
