Weekend Review 3rd,4th and 5th:
After last weeks disappointment, we had three volleys last weekend with two drastically altering the result of the game, a first for the Premier League and Lovely Volley.
We’ll start with the best, Dimitar Berbatov. The Bulgarian striker executed a sublime, albeit un-orthodox bicycle kick, to score against Sunderland on Saturday evening. It appeared that the game was heading for a draw after Sunderland had taken the lead then equalised, in what was an impressive performance by the Black Cats. However Anton Ferdinand who was still dazed by the majesty of Berbatov’s volley then attempted his own. Unfortunately Anton’s was neither a volley, nor in the Man United goal and he downed his side to a undeserved loss at Old Trafford.
Next we will look at the most inform volleyer in the Premier Leage, Hull City’s Geovanni. Geovanni now has two volleys in as many games and puts him joint first with Dirk Kyut. Geo’volley-me-senseless’Vanni’s goal came on 68 minutes, when he struck home into an open net in the game against Wigan. Hull won 3-1 and picked up a much needed three points.
The last volley of the weekend came at Upton Park in the game between West Ham and Fulham. Zoltan Gera’s 57 minute volley won the game for Fulham, despite Junior Stanislas deflected effort in injury time. This was the second volley that altered a games result as Fulham won 2-3.
The rest of the action went as follows, in a new feature i like to call ‘One Line Reviews’:
Portsmouth finally get a point! and three at that: Wolves 0-1 Portsmouth
Burnley win at home, again: Burnley 2-1 Birmingham
Tottenham get lucky thanks to some Croatian goals: Bolton 2-2 Tottenham
Liverpool play badly, Drogba doesn’t: Chelsea 2-0 Liverpool
Arsenal score lots, Blackburn score two: Arsenal 6-2 Blackburn
Dunne wont celebrate, Bellamy will though: Aston Villa 1-1 Man City
