West Ham 1 - Tottenham 1

The first of todays 2 games being played, a London Derby from Upton Park. Loads of action and shots on goal. Boa Morte took advantage of a bad ball from Kaboul and stole the ball to pass to Solano who crossed for Cole to make a brilliant finish on the 20th min. Spurs where angry as they appealed for a penalty but on the replay it showed the play off side show a good call from Mike Riley. Dawson brought it all level with a header from a free kick on the 67th min. Jenas played well to keep the ball off the line from a West ham corner and defended well. Spurs where awarded a penalty as Defoe was brought down in the area , Defoe took the penalty and a bad penalty it was . You could read the shot through and thats exactly what Green did and saved the shot no problem. A good London derby game.

A very boring game in the first half and even Andy Gray was begging for a goal to break the boredom, Benni McCarthy was injured very early in the game and was subbed, thank goodness things picked up in the second half. Fulham had a penalty taken by Murphy on the 51st min struck the ball low right throwing Freidel off to the left taking them in front. Emerton brought it level as Blackburn scored on the 57th min, Kamara took Fulham in front again scoring from 4 yds sliding the ball in on the 63rd min , Warnock tapped in the draw goal on the 79th min for Blackburn.
