Wigan 1-2 Aston Villa Highlights

by Joao on 16 March, 2010

wigan v villa

Villa pull out an important win to keep the coveted 4th place well within their sights, with James Milner the star of this match.

An own goal by James McCarthy gave Villa the lead, promptly taken back by a free kick curled in by Caldwell.

But Villa kept up their spirits and Wigan never seemed likely to score again. In the second half, a half-cleared ball fell into the shooting range of James Milner, who put it past a sea of bodies to score the winner.

Sevilla 1-2 CSKA Moscow Highlights

by Joao on 16 March, 2010

CSKA progress with a 3-2 win on aggregate, leaving a favorite Sevilla side behind.

The game was tight, with even chances for both teams in the first half. Keisuke Honda, the newly signed playmaker, was the man to watch in the Russian side, as he looked increasingly dangerous as the match progressed. And he would sign the assist for CSKA’s first goal, shot by Tomas Necid. But shortly after Sevilla equalized with a cunning goal by Diego Perotti.

The second half saw a much more organized CSKA preventing Sevilla from getting anything more out of the game. And Honda would score the final goal, getting CSKA through to the next round of the Champions League.

Inter Milan and Mourinho have done it. Chelsea president Abramovich must be fuming after his team gets booted out of the Champions League once again, and were taught a lesson is tactical football they’re wise not to forget.
The game itself wasn’t incredible or exciting the way we tend to look at it. I’m an adept [...]

Sunderland 1-1 Man City Highlights

March 14, 2010

City are looking more like a candidate to 5th place than to 4th. This draw is clearly a loss for City, despite Mancini’s upbeat speech.
City conceded a goal very early in the game, with Kenwyne Jones’ 9th minute header, and honestly didn’t go out to the pitch with the level of concentration they should be [...]

Stoke 0-0 Aston Villa Highlights

March 13, 2010

Villa fail to score and to get the three points at Stoke, and see their league objectives sail away.

Kilmarnock 0-3 Celtic Highlights

March 13, 2010

Celtic are on the sort of form they should have been all season, and had no trouble beating Kilmarnock.
Robbie Keane, of course, was the main figure of this win, scoring a hat-trick and looking like he could take on the entire Kilmarnock defensive line on his own. And sometimes it looked like it was just [...]

Chelsea 4-1 West Ham Highlights

March 12, 2010

A confident win for Chelsea with a great performance by Malouda, which honestly came as a surprise to me. West ham put up another dismal performance and are sinking deeper into relegation in a season where they had more than what it took to achieve a comfortable standing.
The action started early with a goal by [...]

Burnley 1-2 Wolverhampton Highlights

March 12, 2010

Burnley seriously damage their League hopes with this loss, while Wolverhampton will be glad with a win against fellow relegation strugglers.
An own goal by Carlisle and another by Jarvis were enough to see Wolverhampton get all three points, with Thompson’s lonely goal unable to dig Burnley out of the hole they dug themselves.
But more worrying [...]
