Off The Pitch 4

Chelsea returned to winning with three Spanish goals (1-3)

After five rounds of a

desert without knowing

the taste of victory and

the Club World Cup at

the door, Chelsea beat

Sunderland at the

Stadium of Light.

Fernando Torres scored

two and Juan Mata built

the triumph of blues.

Rafael Benitez asked goals

from Fernando Torres and

that's what its striker

offered. Soon after 11

minutes, 'El Niño' took an

assist from Eden Hazard to

inaugurate the strife,

repeating the dose before

the break, with a large well-

accomplished penalty.

The second half could not

get better. Juan Mata raised

to 0-3 at 49 minutes and

completely killed the hopes

of recovering at

Sunderland. By the end,

Martin O'Neill's men also

reduced, through A.

Johnson, at 66 minutes.

In the other matches ,

especially the seven

goals scored in the

victory at Norwich

City's ground Swansea

City (3-4). In an open

game, the pupils of

Chris Hughton added

his third win in five

games.

Aston Villa and Stoke

City annulled at Villa

Park (0-0), Southampton

hosted and won against

Reading out of the

relegation zone (1-0),

while QPR and Wigan

drew two balls at DW

Stadium (2-2 ), which

means that Harry

Redknapp's men have

did not lost for three

rounds for the Premier

League

Tottenham lets Everton turnaround

The team of Andre Villas-

Boas had the bird in the

hand, but let it fly. After a

game well done, the Spurs

were in front until the final

minutes, but relented before

the end of Everton pressure

and still lost the match.

Only in England!

After three consecutive wins,

the Londoners were not far

from achieving the fourth.

However, by the washing of

baskets is vintage and

Tottenham relaxed before the

final whistle.

The American Clint Dempsey

put the game in the hands of

the visitors on 76 minutes.

Villas-Boas moved and tried

to protect the team, maybe

too much. Is that the Toffees

have not given up and drew

upon the 90th minute,

through the South African

Steven Pienaar. Ball to center

and, soon after, Croatian

striker Jelavic turned the

contest for the Liverpool

team. Goodison Park was

down.

Thus, after three consecutive

draws, the set of David Moyes

returned to winning and took

fourth place in the

championship, with the same

26 points of Tottenham, which

fell to fifth.

MADchester Derby! Goals, emotion, heart

pounding until the end. Again,

the Manchester derby showed

that the 'El Clasico' has yet to

reach a big way a Man City-

Man United With two distinct

parts, the Red Devils finally

have the starlet of the meeting

and took the three points and

leadership isolated from the

Premier League to Old

Trafford.

Manchester City started

pressuring more, to send the

meeting, packed the support

coming from the benches of the

Etihad Stadium. But there was

Wayne Rooney. The England

international was lethal in the

first 45 minutes and materialize

the only two opportunities they

had to beat Joe Hart, at 16 'and

29'.

In the second half, more Man

City. Roberto Mancini

exchanged of Mario Balotelli

for Carlos Tevez and Argentine

tango with Aguero started to

bear fruit. At the hour of play

after a great confusion in the

area and two tremendous

defenses of De Gea, Yaya

Touré reduced. The citizens

believed they could draw and

enjoy the wear of Evra and

Rafael to score, this time with a

powerful shot from Pablo

Zabaleta.

But calm! As always, the

excitement lasted until the final

whistle. Against the run of play,

Tevez has committed a foul in

the right corner of the area and

his team paid dearly. Van Persie

asked Rooney to score the free

kick and not wasted, giving the

victory by 2-3 to the Red

Devils. Rio Ferdinand still had

time to quit bleeding after

being hit in the head with an

object and Tevez deserved to

be expelled for aggression to

the young Phil Jones.

Bayern wins and now is 14 points ahead of Dortmund

Only a collapse internally of

Bayern Munich will prevent

Jupp Heynckes's men steal

the Bundesliga title to

Borussia Dortmund. Today,

the formation of the Bavarian

defeated Augsburg out of

doors (0-2), while the pupils

of Jurgen Klopp allowed

Wolfsburg to leave Signal

Iduna Park with three points

in luggage (2-3).

The mega-Bundesliga leaders

always controlled the match

and totaled three points with a

goal in each half. In the first

half, Thomas Muller did not

missed a penalty and, in the last

45 minutes, the returning Mario

Gomez also did taste the foot.

This year, unlike last season,

Borussia Dortmund have been

more cohesive in the

Champions League than the

Bundesliga. This Saturday,

another defeat. Marco Reus

even placed the home team in

front, but Diego (36 '), a

penalty that earned expulsion

of M. Schmelzer and Naldo (41

') led Wolfsburg to half time in

front of the marker.

At the hour of play, Polish

J. Blaszczykowski still

leveled the match at two

balls, but the striker Bas

Dost, signed from

Heerenveen in the summer

market, signed victory

outsider, assisted by Diego,

at 73rd '.

In this context, Bayern

Munich now leads with 41

points and only if

Leverkusen could approach.

Borussia Dortmund is third

with 27 points and

distanced themselves from

places of descent, now

totaling 19 points.

In other matches this

afternoon, also highlight in

the defeat of Schalke 04

away in the field of

Stuttgart (3-1), another

opponent straight from

Bayern Munich lost more

three points in this 16th

Matchday. Moreover,

Freiburg hosted and won

against Furth (1-0) and

Nuremberg won without

problems against Fortuna

Düsseldorf (2-0).
