EPL Week 1 Review

What a week! The start of the new Premier League campaign started off with a bang on saturday at lunch hour. New boys Sunderland, led by Manchester United legend Roy Keane, pulled out a late victory over Top 4 hopefuls Tottenham. Brilliant.

Liverpool beat Aston Villa to get off on the right foot. A late penalty from Villa that leveled the game, was dismantled by a Steven Gerrard cracker from a 25 yard free kick. Next up Chelsea, who scraped a victory together against other new boys Birmingham City. Arsenal also produced a victory, thanks to late penalty from Van Persie.

Shock of the week was the fixture of Manchester United and Reading. The game was clinical by United, great possession and chances aplenty BUT they couldn't find the back of the net. So much for all the money they spent on Nani, and Tevez, after all the whining they did to get him, rod the pine. Love IT!!!!!!!!!

Here's the rest of the results from the weekend:

Manchester United 0 Reading 0
Chelsea 3 Birmingham City 2
Arsenal 2 Fulham 1
Aston Villa 1 Liverpool 2
Middlesbrough 1 Blackburn Rovers 2
Bolton Wanderers 1 Newcastle United 3
Everton 2 Wigan Athletic 1
Derby County 2 Portsmouth 2
West Ham United 0 Manchester City 2
Sunderland 1 Tottenham Hotspur 0
