| Luis Suarez scores against West Brom at Anfield |
Well well well..... the English Premier League season 2013-2014 is
well underway and nine games down the line, Arsenal is still at the top of the
log with 22 points thanks to the inform Ramsey who has scored five premier
league goals this season and their top quality signing from Real Madrid Mezut
Ozil not forgetting Mathieu Flamini, followed by Chelsea on 20 points same as
Liverpool who have an inferior goal difference. Tottenham have 19 points, Southampton
18, same as Everton while Manchester City have 16 points. Former champions
Manchester United have 14 points showing the transition from Alex Fergusson
their former manager to their new one David Moyes hasn’t been easy.
Last weekend saw Arsenal travel to Crystal Palace. Arsenal managed
to get a win of 2 – 0 with Arteta turning from hero to villain. He scored the
first goal from the penalty spot following a foul on Gnabry but got sent off
rather harshly for a foul on former gooner Chamakh, 35 yards away from goal.
Arsenal got the second goal from the hardworking Giroud with the assist coming
from one Ramsey ‘Rambo’.
Chelsea got a huge result against Man City at Stamford Bridge
beating them 2 – 1 thanks to Torres capitalising on a Joe Hart mistake on
ninety minutes. He continued with his fine form from his Champions League
exploits to punish Man City towards. He had missed a great opportunity to put
Chelsea ahead but turned provider for the opening goal for his team which was
tucked in by Andre Schurrle.
Manchester United put a stop to their terrible start in defence of
the title by coming back from behind twice to beat Stoke 3 goals to 2 at Old
Trafford.
Liverpool who are a team that appear unstoppable at the moment due
to the great partnership of Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge upfront comprehensively
beat West Brom 4 – 1 at Anfield with the Uruguayan scoring a hat-trick.
Tottenham Hotspur beat a stubborn Hull City from the penalty spot to earn
a crucial three points.
The season is quite unpredictable with the number one spot having
exchanged between so many teams, I have even lost count. Maybe the top six
teams excluding Manchester United who are having a difficult post Alex Fergusson season.
Arsenal have remained at the top for several weeks though and whether that
continues remains to be seen bearing in mind they will be meeting with Liverpool
next Saturday (Nov 2) at the Emirates Stadium..... for now let’s see how Asene
Wenger boys perform in the League One Cup tie against Chelsea tonight.
