Super Sunday wasn't exactly super this week as we only had one game due to another installment of Monday Night Football. The cameras headed to Ewood Park as Blackburn took on West Brom, who have been woeful away from home. The game started at a really good pace with both teams looking threatening despite not creating a lot of chances. The best chance came within a minute when West Brom looked to punish Blackburn for sloppy possession play in mid-field, but Odemwingie's shot was smartly parried for a corner by Robinson. It was looking like going into half-time at 0-0 but with four minutes remaining the deadlock was broken, a Blackburn cross was headed into his own net by Tamas. The game did break a record at Ewood Park with no less then 21 internationals playing in the game overall, the most amount in a Premiership match. It was a Canadian who scored the decisive goal after just two minutes into the second half, David Hoillet sealed the victory for Blackburn which sees them move up to seventh in the league.
Monday Night Football this week was at the Reebok where Bolton hosted the out-of-sorts Chelsea. Ancelotti had almost conceded the title in his press conference but last night's performance has now convinced him otherwise after wiping Bolton aside. It took just eleven minutes before Drogba blasted Chelsea ahead with a bullet strike. Chelsea doubled their lead four minutes before half-time with a goal from Florent Malouda. The game was virtually finished eleven minutes after the restart when Anelka fired them three ahead and Ramires scored his first goal in English football with sixteen minutes left to finish the game 4-0. The win sees Chelsea move back into fourth place, three points ahead of Tottenham.
