Liverpool Level With Chelsea, Spurs Climb to Third

With eight games played on Saturday, there wasn't a lot left for the spectators. But we were treated to a Chelsea Liverpool ding dong on Sunday and Spurs entertained Villa on Monday Night Football. Chelsea's form has been poor recently after their defeat at home to Arsenal and Liverpool took full advantage, succumbing Chelsea to another home defeat. The deadlock was broken three minutes after the half hour mark through Maxi Rodriguez. Daniel Sturridge equalised ten minutes into the second half before Glen Johnson finished off a mazy run three minutes from time to put Liverpool level on points with Chelsea.

Tottenham moved up to third as they continued their impressive form against Aston Villa. Harry Redknapp returned to the dugout after recent heart surgery and was treated to the three points. Villa didn't provide much up front and gave too much respect to the home side. Both goals came from poor defending with Emmanuel Adebayor first scoring a bicycle kick from eight yards after fourteen minutes before making it 2-0 five minutes before half-time. Villa still sit eighth in the table but level with QPR.
