Arsenal's William Gallas - from goat to hero.

Arsenal's home pitch at the Emirates Stadium should've given them the advantage in their English Premier League match against rivals Manchester United.

However, it was Arsenal trailing at the end of the first half when Arsenal captain William Gallas scored an own-goal in the 45th minute to give Manchester United a 1-0 advantage. 2 minutes following the start of the second half, Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas collected a pass from team mate Bacary Sagna, and struck the ball into the corner of the goal past Manchester United keeper Edwin van der Sar to put the game level at 1-1.

Manchester United were able to go ahead in the 81st minute when Portuguese international Cristiano Ronaldo slotted the ball into an empty Arsenal goal, following a string of fine passes by Arsenal team mates Louis Saha and Patrice Evra to find an unmarked Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo's goal put Manchester United up 2-1, and it looked like that would be enough for Manchester United to walk away from the Emirates Stadium with 3 points and the solo lead of the English Premier League.

However, Arsenal captain William Gallas was able to volley the ball past Manchester United keeper Edwin van der Sar after a scramble in the box during injury time to draw the match at 2-2.

Manchester United midfielder Nani was the first to score when he fired a rocket of a shot from 30 meters out to beat Middlesbrough keeper Mark Schwarzer. Middlesbrough was able to get back in the game soon after when Aliadiere put a header into the Manchester United goal, the first goal conceded at Old Trafford this season. With the game tied at 1-1, Middlesbrough's Stewart Downing almost gave the lead for Boro, but his header sailed wide.

Six goals to Nil!

Chelsea was firing on all cylinders in their recent English Premier League match against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge. Manchester City, who are ranked at number 3 in the English Premier League points standings should've shown a better result, but it was all Chelsea from the start, and the downpour of goals were definitely a delight for Chelsea fans.

The Chelsea Blues biggest win of the season came thanks to two goals from Chelsea's super striker Didier Drogba and a goal each from the likes of Chelsea's Michael Essien, Joe Cole, Salomon Kalou and Andriy Shevchenko.

Chelsea's Michael Essien added some big stats to his record by also providing two assists and a goal, and could clearly qualify as Man of the Match as well as Didier Drogba, who scored two goals.

Manchester City has improved their quality of football under the new management of head coach Sven Goran-Erickson, but City was in no match for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in terms of getting the ball in the back of the net. The result was very favorable indeed for Chelsea, who have been struggling this 2007-08 season of the English Premier League in coming up with victories. Perhaps injuries to the likes of Michael Ballack and other key injuries have not been able to produce the best eleven footballers on the pitch at the same time for Chelsea. However, perhaps that will all change as it seems that the Chelsea players are getting healthier.

Perhaps Manchester City could've kept the deficit down had their starting goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel played. However, Manchester CIty had to rely on reserve keeper Joe Hart, and it must've been painful for Joe Hart to let in so many goals. But what could be done? Chelsea was just really playing some awesome football, finding the right space for passes and striking it into the back of the Manchester City net.

Chelsea manager Avram Grant is very pleased with the big win, his biggest win since taking over the management reigns of Chelsea after the resignation of Jose Mourinho.

"In the next game we have to do the same, and it's up to the team to keep working hard and keep the spirit going," commented Chelsea forward Salomon Kalou.

Chelsea's next English Premier League feature will be an away-match at the JJB Stadium against Wigan Athletic. Definitely, with Chelsea's top form, they look to make easy work of Wigan Athletic and maybe add 3 more points to their current 21 points in the English Premier League standings. Chelsea FC is currently 4th with 21 points, just one behind Manchester City who have 22, and just 5 from the English Premier League leaders Arsenal and Manchester United, who both have 26 points.
