Super Sunday threw up another three games in the Barclay's Premier League, due to Europa and Champions League commitments. The first to kick-off was at one o'clock at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal hosted Newcastle. With Manchester United winning yesterday, Arsenal also needed to win to not lose any ground on second place. But a solitary goal from Andy Carroll just before half-time was enough to see Arsenal lose. Laurent Koscielny also saw red in second half injury time to add more bad news for Arsene Wenger.
The non-televised three o'clock kick-off was at the Hawthornes between West Brom and Manchester City. It turned out to be a interesting match for Mario Balotelli who won the game for City and then got sent off. Balotelli put City ahead after twenty minutes before then doubling the score just six minutes later. He then managed to pick up a second yellow card and City were then down to ten men after 63 minutes. West Brom's poor discipline struck again as Yousuff Mulumbu also picked up two yellow cards to be sent off with eight minutes remaining.
The four o'clock kick-off saw Liverpool entertain Chelsea in the match of the weekend. Liverpool's revival continued when Torres' rejuvenation looked to have started when he gave Liverpool the lead after eleven. Torres then added a second just before half-time with a classic solo effort. This means Chelsea are now just two points ahead of Manchester United, who face the Manchester Derby on Wednesday.
