Super Sunday !

It's very rare that you see 2 matches of the top 4 of the EPL. Yesterday was a real treat.

Match 1: Man U Vs Liverpool

I sincerely believe alex fergusson has done a good job of bringing the Man U team to where it is today. But somehow, Gerrard and his men seemed more aggressive in the pitch and wanted to prove a point that they too stand a good chance of winning the cup. Well, this seemed like something making sense, until Carlos Tevez managed to touch a flying in shot by Rooney late in the first half to score the only goal of the match. Man U were leading the table at this time.

Match 2: Chelsea Vs Arsenal

But happiness was short lived when Arsen Wenga's team on their home turf took on Chelsea in a feisty and energetic match filled with near misses and lots of yellow cards, with Terry's broken ankle thrown in.

Arsenal's captain, William Gallard was the only scorer scoring a 'nothing fabulous' header to a corner when Lampard fell short of his defensive header.

Arsenal head back to the head of the table and now Liverpool slip to 5th position with Man City taking on the 4th position.

The only real threat to Man u's dominance has been Arsenal and if someone deserves to win this cup - it's probably Arsenal with the way they have been playing.

Exciting weeks to come ...
