Both teams wanted a victory, but Diaby’s header from a perfect Rosicky cross was enough to preserve the result. Even if Liverpool appeared to be the better side because the big chances of N’Gog, Lucas Leiva and the last minute free-kick controversy, Arsenal was the winner of the match. Liverpool showed a lot of potential but it wasn’t enough. In the 93rd minute, Howard Webb accorded a free-kick. Gerrard executed it and Fabregas clearly handed the ball. The referee didn’t give a penalty and the final score was 1-0.

The Shock of the week: Sensational comeback for Everton against Chelsea (2-1) with Louis Saha in great form!
In the 17th minute Chelsea opened the score with Florent Malouda. Nobody believed that Everton can be capable to make a comeback, but the former striker of Manchester United equalised in the 33rd minute and Everton was back into the game. The final moments of the first half were like in horror movies for Chelsea players when for Everton was given a penalty. Louis Saha was the one who taked it. He missed. The score at half time was 1-1. Saha caused a lot of problems for the 1st placed team on the table, but Chelsea’s play remained the same: arrogant. Ancelotti’s team paid for the arrogance in the 75th minute when Saha scored again and made a comeback for his side. Drogba tried to equalise in the last minutes, but he didn’t score. The final score was 2-1 for Everton and Saha can be proud of his overall performance!
