Yesterday saw a curtailed version of the regular premier league gameweek but 5 games of massive incentives unfolded and nearly all the teams had something to play for, and if not anything there always are those 3 points.Manchester United started were in course for their quest to move up the table as they bagged full points, along with as many goals, although Robin Van Persie was let off easy I felt, even with a goal up early in the second half it would have been very difficult for a 10 man United to ward off a desperate West Bromwich Albion, who knocked at the Uniteds defense many a times during the course of the game.! Crystal Palace though eventually succumbed to Southamptons knocking as the struggle to stay up continued for the Eagles, Jay Rodrigezs brave 50-50 challenge win gave the saints a well deserved away victory.! A win is what still elludes Fulham and Felix Magath, and a visit to Cardiff didnt bring them any luck, Ole though can breathe a little easy after finishing on the winning end of this six pointer..! Another one of those was played out at The Carrow Road, where Norwich squandered a chance to stay 6 clear of the drop zone, Bradley Johnsons second half opener was cancelled out by Jonathan Walters converted penalty, The potters had to struggle to a point though as Walters saw direct red few minutes after.! The Gameweek got rounded off at the Stamford Bridge as Chelsea beat a resilient but fallible Spurs 4-0.! Both sides stashed heavily with physical prowess and strength, with Spurs having the advantage in that front, were at each others necks in first half, though Chelsea could have been two up within thee first three minutes , an off balance Hazard and yet not in the game linesman helped Spurs to keep it goal-less.! Oscars inclusion the second half, saw Spurs chasing, as their high-line, high pressing strategy was countered by the blue outfit and Etos finally creating the breakthrough in the 54-55th minutes after latching on to Vertongen slip-and howler error.But the referee took a major call, in 58th minute as Younis Kaboul was given marching orders as for his challenge in the box on Eto.Hazard steps up, slots the ball in from the spot and curtains on the London Derby.! Substitute Demba Ba got two customary goals.! The stolid stallion of the Blues continues to gallop at the expense and ridicule of the exclamations of pony by their Dyslexic manager.!
