Arsenal 5 - Derby 0
Well how do I start to explain this one except wow. Arsenal once again did the magic with Diaby opening up only 10 mins into the game right foot shot going in high right. Adebayor then gave the second by going around the keeper. Into the second half we saw a penalty given away by the Derby Captain on 50 mins, Adabayor took the penalty shot and put away his second goal beating Bywater who only managed to get finger tips on the ball but it wasn't enough to keep it from hitting the back of the net. Fabregas then put away a cracker on 70 mins giving arsenal 4. The action didn't stop as Adabayor then put away his hat trick on 79th min. I cant really say a lot about Derby, They just couldn't get it together and defended very bad , gave away possession to many times a totally different side from last Monday against Newcastle where they took their first win.

Middlesbrough 2 - Sunderland 2
Boro hosted the Blackcats for this north east Derby. Chopra passed a good ball in for Leadbitter to score on 2 mins. Arca answered back for Boro with a header on 15 mins. There was a call for hand ball as Higginbotham cleared used his arm for help clear the ball from the area , even though the Ref was only 10 yds away he didn't give it as a penalty but replays showed a clear hand ball and a deliberate one at that. Leadbitter and Cattermole went at it throwing their teddy's in the corner and stating a ding dong , and earning a yellow card each (thicko's). Stuart Downing then Boro a lead with a powerful low shot on 67th min. But Miller got Sunderland back on an even Keel with an equaliser on 89 min.

Reading 2 - Wigan 1
Royals entertained Wigan today. well I say entertain but they where desperate for the win after a string of losses. Rosenior put kirkland into action straight away with a very early attempt. Doyle then went in with a strike but denied and fumbled by Kirkland and falling for Kitson to finnish giving Reading the lead after 29 mins. Ingimarsson almost gave away a penalty with a challenge so close to the box only just out of the penalty box, a free kick given to Wigan which was a very good attempt from Koumas hitting the cross bar. Second half saw Marcus Bent put away the eqauliser on 50 mins with a header, and Wigan where laying on the pressure, Duberry did a sterling jod once again in defence with a very well timed tackle that could have so easily put Wigan ahead. James Harper left it late 90th min to get the winner shortly follwed by another from Doyle.

Liverpool 0 - Birmingham 0
Pennant gave the first real good bit of action with a training ground move with a 20 yd drive just over the bar. Torres kept people entertained with his over head kick attempt that didnt work but never mind it looked very good. Liverpool just couldnt wear down the Blues defence they wher very strong and walked away with a deserved point from a top 4 club.
