{PREMIER LEAGUE}


A very interesting match that just ended minutes ago between Manchester United and Manchester City, in which Man. City were beaten 4~2. The game which saw James Milner, David Silva, and Vincent Kompany receive yellow cards for the Man. city side ended in favour of the red devils.

Sergio Aguero opened the scoreline to give Man. City an early lead in the 8th minute saw Ashley Young equalize in the 14th minute. Man. United moved up with a goal from Marouane Fellaini in the 27th minute andd that ended the first half. The second half resumed with Juan Mata and Chris Smalling bringing the scoreline to 4~1 in the 67th and 73rd minute respectively. But Manchester City were not to end the match without adding another goal as Sergio Aguero completed his brace in the 89th minute. The match which ended 4~2 in favour of the home side who played at Old Trafford and had a large spectators of 75313 also had contriversial referee, Mark Clattenburg officiating the match.


Meanwhile, at Loftus Road, Cesc Fabregas scored a late a winner to maintain Chelsea’s seven-point lead at the top of the Premier League table and put a huge dent inthe survival hopes of Queens Park Rangers. The 88th-minute goal was Chelsea’s first shot on target at Loftus Road and was harsh on QPR, who had tested Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois on at least three occasions.

Chelsea's Didier Drogba and QPR's duo of Bobby Zamora & Sandro received yellow cards in the 60th, 75th and 78th minute respectively. Andre Marriner was the officiating referre before a crowd of 17939 spectators. With a game in hand over second-placed Arsenal, this west London derby success underlines the fact Jose Mourinho’s men should now clinch the title with few problems.

Arsenal were playing away to Burnley in a match that simply ended 1~0 with Aaron Ramsey grabbing the winner in the early minutes of the game. The only yellow cautions of the game was handed un the 25th and 27th minutes to Burnley's Ben Mee & Michael Duff respectively.

Officiated by Mike Dean before 20165 spectators, Arsenal's unlikely late title challenge gained further momentum when Aaron Ramsey struck the winning goal in the 12th minute at Burnley to record their eighth consecutive victory.Ramsey, the outstanding individual on show, finished strongly early in the first half to leave Arsene Wenger's men just four points behind Chelsea albeit with the leaders having two games in hand, the first of which is at QPR on Sunday.
