Spanish League dominating this week !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was an exciting weekend for the Football fans , as there was a bombardment of goals in the Spanish league, Local rivals faced off in England and Arch Rivals faced off in Italy. There was plenty of excitement for the fans as i am sure everyone watched each and every league, as this week wasn't for he love of the team, it was for the love of FOOTBALL !!!!!!!

England Premiership

Biggest Upset of the week as top of the table team Manchester United were defeated by mid-table opponents Fulham 2-0. A game that should have been a stroll in the park for Manchester United but an underdog team of Fulham beat them. fulham had an advantage as 2 of the Manchester United players were sent of for their rash fouls and unhuman conduct. Fulham took that to thier advantage and defeated their opponents. Chelsea had a later game than Manchester United and they could have used Manchester's loss to thier advantage and they could ahve moved up the table but they had a tough game against their across town rivals Tottenham Hotspur. They suffered a close defeat to their rivals as tottenham moved up the table and saved themselves from relegation to the lower division next season. Luka Modric scored the only gaoal in the game to give Tottenham the lead and the win. Chelsea lost a perfect opportunity to keep their winning streak alive, but as the legend says football is unpredictable.
Liverpool took on inform team Aston Villa just to humiliate them 5-0. A result not expected as Aston Villa have been playing their best games in ages. Local hero Steven Gerrard scored a hatrick with Alberto Reira and Dirk Kuyt getting a goal a peice. Aston Villa fell to a team that could not have been stopped on that night. Arsenal defeated an out of form Newcastle United 3-1 as a missed penalty by Newcastle Striker Martins costed his team heavily.

Spanish League

Barcelona and Real Madrid had one of their easiest weeks in the whole season as Barcelona won 6-0 in their game and Real Madrid won their game 3-0. Barcelona had a tricky game with 6th place Malaga, as everyone expected this game to be a close contest. But Barcelona showed why they are called as one of the best teams this year by destroying Malaga 6-0. There was a brace from Samuel Etoo and goals a peice from Dani Alves, Theiry Henry, Lionel Messi and Xavi Hernandez. Barcelona extended their lead to 6 points ahead of Arch Rivals Real Madrid. REal Madrid also had an easy game agaisnt mid-table opponents Almeria, as there was a brace from new signing Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and a goal from youngster Marcelo, where the latter has recently been playing from the midfield than in defense. Local rivals of Real Madrid Atlethico Madrid fell to a relegation threatened team of Mallorca who have been suffering this season due to selling their best players over the summer. 3rd and 4rth place Sevilla and Villareal respectively beat their opponents by a good lead of 4-1 and 2-0 respectively.

Italian Calcio

2 of the big four of the Italian League faced off each other in a 5 goal thriller. Roma and Juventus both fighting a place for a Champions League spot for next season, the latter pushing for the Scudetto (The League Cup). It was a good day for Juventus as they defeated Roma 4-1. There was a brace from Iaquinta and a goal a peice from veteran midfielder Pavel Nedved and veteran defender Olaf Mellberg. Juventus have edged closer to top of the table Inter Milan. Inter Milan had a stroll in the park as they beat bottom of the table Reggina 3-0. There was a brace scored by Swedish Striker Ibrahimovich and a goal from Argentinian defensive midfielder Esteban Cambiasso. Genoa kept their good form up by beating Udinese 2-0 and staying in fourth position.
Milan tied with Napoli 0-0 which was a pretty boring game, as Milan wasn't expected to be held by Napoli to a draw.
