A Great Weekend for Football

So I know the weekend has yet to end (even longer back in the States), but I felt compelled to list a couple fixtures.

Fulham 2 - 0 Manchester United
Tottenham 1 - 0 Chelsea
Liverpool 5 - 0 Aston Villa

I'm really not sure which is most interesting, or which result seems least likely.

I'm most excited about the Spurs victory, and about the fact that they tied Chelsea in their last meeting, demonstrating once again that Tottenham can run with the big dogs.

Fulham beating MUFC 2 - 0 is simply stunning. Not only does Fulham still have a soft spot in my heart, even if they've shipped out most of their American talent, but they also, lets face it, are inferior in pretty much every way when compared to Man U. The scoreboard cannot lie, and 3 points taste even sweeter when mixed with a side of defeated United.

With Liverpool being the only top three team this weekend to squeeze out a win, and consequently 3 points, the top of the table keeps getting tighter - especially when you consider Man U did not win last week either, when Liverpool crushed them 4 -1.

Speaking of Liverpool crushing teams, FIVE - zero! Good old Steevie G cranked out a crowd-pleasing hat trick off of two penalty kicks and a set piece, all executed perfectly. Alberto Riera's goal in the 33rd minute was just sick, as was Kuyt's opener in the 8th. As my number 2 team, Liverpool pleased this weekend and last, to say the least.

All in all, this was one entertaining weekend of football, which I enjoyed thoroughly.
