Arsenal Outguns Manchester United After Win Over Everton

Bad news for Manchester United. The win by Arsenal against Everton (4-1) means that Arsenal is ahead of Man Utd in the league table.

It was by no means an easy win for Arsenal. The match was dominated by Everton's more skilful play but luck was not on their side despite an early lead with a goal after 19 minutes. Soon after the break Eduardo equalised and scored yet another goal at 58 minutes.

Everton had a chance to make good after Bendtner was sent off. But a mix-up between Yobo and the goalie let Adebyor to kick into an empty Everton net. Ugly scenes led to a facing off between the teams' players after Arteta seemed to have hit Fabregas in the face. Arteta being sent off the field lost Everton's numerical advantage. Quickly Arsenal solidified their win with a final goal by Rosicky.

Despite the loss the Everton team thought they played the better game, and were stunned to have lost 4-1.

Meanwhile, Manchester Utd lost to West Ham 1-2. Much blame was placed on Cristiano Ronaldo for missing a penalty kick. Still he was the player who scored the only goal for Man Utd with a header within 15 minutes of the game. Man Utd's boss said of his team,”You can't expect them to be perfect all the time.” I guess not, after what's happened elsewhere recently.
