On Saturday Man city defeated Southampton by 4 goals to 1 at the City of
Manchester stadium and it looked comfortable from the start as on 2 minutes
they had a penalty as Kolorov looks to slip the ball to Nazri but he is caught
out by chambers the right back is soon supporting Laklana in attack but he is disposed.
Toure passes to Silva who passes to Djecko the big forward runs into the box
and is tripped by the trailing leg of Fonte that’s a penalty. Toure scores to
his right and puts the keeper the wrong way. Man City lead 1-0 after 4 minutes.
Cork dribles into the
box and is tripped right in the corner by Zabaletta. Lambert chipped the ball
into the top right hand corner 37 minutes gone its 1-1. Silva slips the ball
down to kolorov down the left hand side of the area via a neat flick from
Djecko. Djecko was offside when the ball hit him. Kolorov hits the ball to
Nazri who score from 5 yards. 45 plus 1 Southamptons work is all kaput and it
gets worse minutes later as more neat work from Silva 20 yards out and just to
the left. He passes to kolorov on the touchline who hits in a quality cross
across the face of goal for Djecko who put the ball into the net off the post
45+1 its now 3-1 Man City
81 minutes gone its now 4-1 as Navas goes down the right
flank and hits a low cross. Negredo comes in and brings 2 defenders and the
goalkeeper towards him none of them get anything on it and Jovetic puts the
ball into the net with no one near him from 8 yards
Chelsea went to top of the table with a 3-0 win over Stoke Mohamad
Salah 32, Frank Lampard 61 William 72
On Sunday Liverpool won 2-1 with 2 controversial decisions
one going with them and one going against them. The first Liverpool penalty was
perfectly fine as Suarez is through on the left and lifts the ball past Tomkins
and the defenders arm gets in the way. Gerard then goes to tuck the penalty aay
1-0 Liverpool. The equaliser came as Caroll clearly fouls Minulet as the ball
comes in Daniel pounces on it and hammers it in. The reds clearly think that
they were wrong to award the penalty The second penalty was a pass out wide to Flanagan
who was caught by the keeper Aidrian who
caught the ball and then the man. The first penalty was a clear and odious one as
this one was not so much.
All of this sets up the game on Sunday as Liverpool ply Man
City at Afield and this could be the title contender.
No a big football person but your blog really helps me keep up to date with what is going on.
