Suntherland V Manchester City

Very little change on the top of the premiership after the new year fixtures were played. Manchester United who were hot on the heels of Manchester City were beaten yesterday by Blackburn. If Manchester City had beating Suntherland today, they would have open up a significant lead over United, their Manchester rival. Instead, a last minute stoppage time strike by Ji Dong-won saw Suntherland dent Manchester City’s aura of invincibility.
An excellent report of the game on BBC website goes something like this:
Ji Dong-won’s injury-time winner earned Sunderland a superb victory over Premier League leaders Manchester City.

City were aiming to capitalise on Manchester United’s loss to Blackburn, but came up against a determined display by Martin O’Neill’s side.

Nicklas Bendtner and Stephane Sessegnon were denied a goal either side of the break, with Edin Dzeko and Micah Richards both hitting the woodwork.

But with the last kick of the game, Ji rounded Joe Hart to win it.

It was a breathless end to a pulsating second half as the Korean substitute latched onto Sessegnon’s through ball following an isolated counter-attack, before calmly finishing.

And it was a rich reward for a performance which would leave defensive coaches drooling such was their energy all over the pitch and their steel at the back.

Liverpool moved to the top of the Premiership yesterday in a dramatic way. Yossi Benayoun scored an injury-time winner which Fulham could not respond to. It looks as if the game was going to end in draw if not for Benayoun’s stoppage time goal.

Liverpool are perhaps temporarily ahead of Manchester United by two points however Manchester United has two games in hand, if Man U win both games they will move to the top by 4 points ahead of Liverpool.
Before the dramatic win, Andrea Dossena hit the bar twice – each time with a header, Xabi Alonso volleyed against the bar and Fernando Torres dragged a shot against the post.
