Review - - - Gameweek IV...


A lot of action was witnessed this gameweek i.e. Gameweek 4 with 23 goals scored in 10 matches and more prominently, the first goal-scoring draw with Wolves and Hull City playing a 1-1 draw.

Gameweek 4 began on expected lines with Chelsea making sure Burnley’s dream run ended and the Giant Killers being ensured it won’t be a cake-walk everytime they begin a match. Chelsea won 3-0. On the other hand, Liverpool’s form again went shaky though they managed to win this time 3-2 after Stevie G’s volley beating Bolton’s GK Jääskeläinen who otherwise had a splendid game. Other matches on the weekend went on expected lines with Everton defeating Wigan 2-1 after Joe earned Everton a penalty in extra time and Aston Villa defeating Fulham 2-0 at home.

The match predicted to be Match of the gameweek truly turned out to be so. It was Arsenal vs Manchester United with Andrey Arshavin scored a long ranger beating Manchester United Goal-keeper Ben Foster and leading Arsenal to 1-0 at half-time

1 or 2 changes were expected for Manchester United at half-time but it turned out to be the contrary with no change made after quite a disappointing performance in the 1st half. Ryan Giggs then made a beauty of a pass only for Almunia to trip Wayne Rooney and earn a quite deserving though controversial Penalty. It was Wayne Rooney himself taking the spot kick and scoring thus ensuring he can be a regular spot-kick taker for Manchester United for the season to come.
The best part of the match remained as a fact that Arsenal players scored 2 goals compared to Manchester United player scoring 1, but still Manchester United won, thanks to Diaby’s own goal. Foster and Rooney were the heroes for Manchester United for the match though the unsung hero but truly deserving Man of the Match went to Darren Fletcher.
