Last night was pretty much a full Premier League fixture list. One of the big games was the London derby between Arsenal v Spurs. The game ended 4-4!!! The first goal of the game was by Spurs and was a great goal by Bentley. He scored from about 40 yards out. He controlled the ball and volleyed it over Almunia (ala Beckham). Check out the video at the bottom of this post.
At one point, Arsenal were 4-2 with just 2 minutes of extra time to go. However after a mistake by Arsenal who were trying to pass there were out of defence instead of just kicking it clear, Jenas scored and then in injury time Lennon scored after Modric hit the post. I am happy for Harry Redknapp that hes got the draw against Arsenal. He will need to sort out the defence though especially the keeper who looks like a liability.
The other main game (as far as I was concerned!) was the United v West Ham game. United ended up winning 2-0 but it should have been a lot more. The first half they played brilliantly cutting apart West Ham. They could have scored 4 or 5 (or maybe more). Ronaldo got the 2 goals (he actually celebrated the 1st one), the 2nd was after some great play by Berbatov. Check out the video at the bottom of this post.
In the 2nd half, like in the Everton game, United took the foot of the gas and didnt punish West Ham. It was a chance to get a few more goals and improve goal difference which could be all important at the end of the season. Apparently Fergie wasnt pleased either with United easing off in the 2nd half.
