It was an evenly matched first half. Both defences kept out the opposition strikers and the game was mainly played in the middle of the Park.

The second came 5 minutes later when Mcbride sweetly finished off a cross from Bullard to go 2 nil up.

It was then an evenly matched game and Bolton continued to wonder if they were ever going to Equalize until a moment of sheer brilliance old gun Nicholas Anelka who showed his experience to stay on his feet while Tackles came in from all around him to cleanly sneak the ball under the body of Hahnemann. The game looked sets to end in a draw untill the last play of the game came from a corner. The Bolton managed screamed for all the players to be in the box. But it wasn?t any normal goal.

The first goal came inside the 20th minute when Striker Forssell scored after an excellent through ball from Parnaby, they scored 10 minutes later when again Forssell scored but this time through his own skill when he found a hole in the defence and shot the ball straight through for a brilliant goal. Bywater later signalled to the defence that these new balls swerve a lot in the air. Derby looked down for the count until a superbly placed cross from earnshaw found the forehead of Howard and he headed it down and into the bottom left corner. Once again Birmingham found the back of net after the break when Nafti superbly put through and De Ridder slotted home after a 1 on 1 with goalkeeper Bywater. In the last 10 minutes Derby fans began to leave the ground but the staying supporters were provided with some of Derby’s best ever play. When derby made a substitution it was defender Edworthy to come off for Striker Barnes. Barnes made an immediate impact as he set up Macken to bring the game back to 3-2 to Birmingham. In the last minute of Normal time Barnes scored from just under 30 yards as the ball swerved when it looked like it was going top right but ended up going in the top left.

Everton Vs Blackburn
Blackburn went 1-0 up after 18 minutes but the goal was disallowed after Santa Cruz was deemed to be offside replays showed that not be the case. Was it to be crucial in the final result?

The second half bought plenty of shots but most of them off target. It was a last gasp chance from Kerimoglu after Pederson sent him a pass so he was one on one with the keeper. Howard came dashing out and Kerimoglu deftly chipped it over the keeper. Everyone was holding their breath as Osman tried to chase the ball and divert it to no affect as Blackburn went up 2-1 and took 3 points from the match.

Middlesbrough Vs Newcastle United
A fairly regulation victory for Newcastle, as a shocker of a day for Goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer. Newcastle opened there account after only 3 minutes when one of two howlers from Schwarzer as Solano poked the ball through Schwarzer’s legs. The borough defence kept Newcastle out of the penalty area so Schwarzer was safe. In the 73rd minute Duff turned away from his marker and Schwarzer fumbled and the ball fell over the line as Newcastle doubled their lead. The third goal was sheer brilliance from Obafemi Martins has his volley rocketed into the back of the Net
Middlesbrough 0 – Newcastle United 3


Manchester United Vs Tottenham Hotspur
Manchester United put Tottenham to the sword as Man Utd. Put Half a dozen goals in the back of the Spurs net. 5 goals in the first half and a disallowed goal for man Utd. Pretty much summed up a rather poor day for Tottenham defence as Robinson did all he could in his power to keep out the Man Utd. 2 goals for Solskjaer in the first 6 minutes had Tottenham out and Man Utd. Never looked back as 2 more found the back of the net all of them inside 20 Minutes. The last goal of the half came from Nani as a superb run and fine finish bought United’s 5th. Only one goal came in the second half this was from ronaldo after he headed home after a cross from Scholes found his feet. With Tottenham only conceding one goal this was probably the only positive of the game. The must have been a very fiery speech from Spurs manager definitely got through to his players.
Manchester United 6 – Tottenham Hotspur 0

West Ham United Vs Wigan
An Evenly poised game finished with each team collecting a solitary point. Bellamy put The Hammers ahead after 23 minutes with a fine finish. From there on each team shared the honours with both making fine pieces of play courtesy of the wingers. But also some fine saves from the Goalkeepers proving how evenly matched the teams were. But it was Heskey on 89 minutes that sealed a fair point for each team.
