Manchester derby stole the headline but it's not the Red devils

In the second week of premiership the headline was stolen by the blue half of Manchester. In a crunch encounter between the teams from Manchester the Manchester city stole all the 3 points in their home match against their local rivals United. The match was also seen as a head to head between the fiery Alex and ice cool Sven. Finally the battle was won by the Swede as his team won by solo gaol courtesy of the newly arrived Geovanni.

In other big match between Chelsea and Liverpool finished in a draw. Fernando Torres scored for the Liverpool and Lampard scored for the spot kick to label the match. Chelsea were lucky to recieve the penalty as the refree was unable to give the correct decision. Another match between Blackburn and Arsenal also was a tie. Van Persie scored for Arsenal and David Dunn scored for the Rovers. Blackburn's goal came thanks to the second blunder of the season by Lehmann in as many matches which cost 2 cruical points for the gunners.
