Chelsea Suffer Remembrance Sunday Blues as Arsenal Gun Themselves Into Second

This week's Super Sunday was Remembrance Sunday as two Premiership grounds fell silent in honour before watching their soldiers combat in the war of the Premiership. The first battle was at Goodison Park where Everton took on Arsenal. 66/1 was the odds on Bacary Sagna scoring the opening goal, but that's exactly what happened after 36 minutes with Sagna blasting the ball into the roof of Everton's net. The half-time team talk didn't work for David Moyes as Arsenal started the second half stronger and a typical Arsenal was rounded off by captain Fabregas just three minutes after the restart. From there Everton came into the half and Fabianski had a masterclass in front of goal to deny Everton from scoring. Although Arsenal should have been down to ten men when Squillaci brought down Saha when he was last man, he escaped with a yellow card. However it didn't deter the Everton attack and they pulled one back just before injury time through Tim Cahill after Arsenal failed to deal with a corner. But Everton couldn't force an equaliser and Arsenal moved to second in the table.

Arsenal stayed two points behind leaders Chelsea, who suffered their first home defeat of the season and their worst home defeat for seven years against Sunderland. In truth, Chelsea weren't at the races with their makeshift midfield and defence but Petr Cech also displayed a goalkeeping masterclass to keep Sunderland at bay. Chelsea were also lucky not to be down to ten men when Ivanovic imitated Squillaci and also escaped with a yellow card. Sunderland got their reward however just before half-time when Nedum Onouha capitalised on slack defending and just waltzed into the box before firing past Cech. Chelsea didn't get any better in the second half and were two behind seven minutes after the restart when in form Gyan struck again. Sunderland rounded off the night with an Ashley Cole mistake, he played a through ball to opponent, and on loan from Manchester United, Danny Welbeck who beat Cech in the one-on-one situation to make 3-0 three minutes from time.
