Premier Round Up - One Hull of a game

September 29th, 2008 by admin

Hull City produced one of the biggest shocks in the history of the Premier Division when they came back from 1-0 behind to beat Arsenal 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium. In their first season in the top flight Hull battled back from going behind to a Paul McShane own goal to win, the first goal already a contender for the goal of the season when Geovanni hit an absolute beauty into the top corner from 35 yards, just three minutes later Daniel Cousin headed in a second to send the visiting fans into dreamworld.

Chelsea remained on top with a workman like performance over Stoke. Bosingwa scoring his first goal for the club in a 2-0 win, while Anelka added a second late on.

Liverpool kept their unbeaten run going with two goals from Spanish striker Fernando Torres giving them a 2-0 win at close rivals Everton. Tim Cahill was dramatically sent off late in the game.

Manchester United were awarded a dubious penalty by Rob Styles when Ronaldo went down under a challenge. The Portuguese winger picked himself up to score the resulting kick and then set up Wayne Rooney for the second to move them up to 9th place.

Aston Villa move up into third with a 2-1 win over Sunderland, Cisse opened the scoring for Sunderland before Ashley Young and Carew gave the home side the victory.

Big money spending Manchester City took their side to Wigan and were once again defeated this time 2-1 by Wigan.

Amr Zaki calmly scored a penalty to ensure Wigan grabbed all three points as they moved up to 10th position.  Luis Antonio Valencia had given Wigan the lead with a fine strike, before Vincent Kompany equalised soon after.

Stand-in boss Joe Kinnear failed to stop the rot as Newcastle crashed 2-1 at home to Blackburn. Rovers raced into the lead through Christopher Samba and Roque Santa Cruz while a Michael Owen penalty gave the Toon Army false hope.

Andy Johnson was sent off for two first-half yellow cards at Craven Cottage where Fulham were beaten 2-1 by West Ham United. The Hammers made it two wins out of two for new boss Gianfranco Zola.
