United thus need only four wins out of the remaining 9 matches to wrestle the title back from their city rivals who nicked the championship in the last minute of the last game last season.
Man City’s loss also blew open the race for second place as
Chelsea won 2-0 against West Ham to move within four points of the defending
champions with Tottenham a further point behind.
Meanwhile Arsenal sashayed themselves into the top four mix
with a resounding 2-0 win over Swansea as Tottenham slipped for the second game
in a row. Spaniard Nacho Monreal and Ivorian Gervinho were both on target for
the Gunners as they moved to within 4 points of Spurs and with a game in hand. Tottenham
were beaten 1-0 by Fulham with former Spurs frontman Dimitar Berbatov scoring
the goal
Liverpool’s hopes of getting back to Champions League
however suffered a major setback after they lost 3-1 at St. Mary’s Stadium to
Southampton. The Reds were clearly outclassed by the team fighting off
relegation as Morgan Schneiderlin and Ricky Lambert handed them a 2-0 lead
before Philipe Coutinho drew one back. But Jay Rodriguez restored Southampton’s
2-goal cushion in the 80th minute to give them a vital win.
Meanwhile Wigan boss Roberto Martinez is setting the Latics
for yet another dramatic relegation dogfight. Arouna Kone scored a crucial 90th
minute winner for the FA Cup semi-finalists as they beat Newcastle United 2-1
to move them within 3 points of safety.
Aston Villa also claimed a vital 3-2 win over bottom side
Queens Park Rangers while Reading’s 1-0 loss to Manchester United further
dented their chances of survival.
The Premier League takes a two-week break to give way for international matches.
And That's thesteifmastertake!!
