Saturday Night Roundup

What an exciting Saturday night of soccer action with heartbreak in Tyneside and Craven Cottage and lots of luck shared around.

Newcastle 0-2 Chelsea

Shearer couldnt do more than wach his team stumble to another lost against title contenders Chelsea. Having watched the match with the Romanticism of having a club legend on mission impossible try to glean a result off a very consistent Chelsea side, the result was a routine one with Lampard and Malouda capitalising on defensive errors. Harper was the busier of the two keepers and did well to keep Chelsea at bay.

Blackburn 2-1 Tottenham

As expected, Big Sam was able to put more distance between Rovers and 18th place with a well deserved win against an in-form Tottenham. A Palacios red card had allowed Blackburn back into the game with goals from Ooijer and McCarthy.

Arsenal 2-0 Man City

Red hot Arsenal were once again proving too hot for the monied City to handle with Adebayor notching two top quality strikes which oozed confidence and determination. Mark Huges will definitely need to dip his hands into the bank and do some serious work in post season. Robinho really should do more. The most costly player in the world is looking like the costliest flop ever.

Fulham 0-1 Liverpool

Liverpool once again came lucky against a resilient Fulham with a lucky 90th minute goal by Benayoun. Fulham were saved on 3 occasions by the goal which denied Alonso and Torres on more than one occasion. Really lucky for Pool and unlucky fo Fulham. They now find themselves top of the table unless Man Utd can do something against it.

Elsewhere, the results are as follows:

Bolton 4-1 Middlesbrough
Hull 0-0 Portsmouth
West Brom 0-2 Stoke City
West Ham 2-0 Sunderland

All eyes will be on tonight's match where Aston Villa take on Man Utd with both teams desperate to win the 3 points.
