Premier League Round Up

It started very well for the league leaders Manchester United against Wolves when Nani scored in 3^rd minute to give United an early lead. Everyone would have thought that it will be a long night for Wolves but it was not the case as Elokobi scored from the corner to equalize within the first 10 minutes. Both sides cancelled each other out but just before the break, Kevin Doyle scored to give Wolves a half time lead.

United manager changed the things in the start of the second half with a view to turn around the things just like they did against Blackpool but it was not the case as hungry Wolves defended their goal like Lions and despite of a massive 5 minute injury time, they held onto their lead and caused first defeat to United this season.

Goals from Theo Walcott, Djourou and a brace from Robin Van Persie sailed Arsenal into a 4 goal lead with less than 25 minutes gone in the first half.

Even Alan Pardew would have told his players to keep score line respectable in the second half but it was totally a different story in the second half as 50^th minute sending off of French midfielder Abu Diaby changed the game on its head as Newcastle United scored 4 goals in less than 19 minutes to make a stupendous come back in the history of football.
