Barcelona vs Espanyol Highlights: Primera Liga Highlights

Ten-man Barcelona saw their lead at the top of the Primera Liga cut down to seven points after a shock loss 2-1 at home to bottom club Espanyol in the city’s derby at the Nou Camp.

Former Barca player Ivan De La Pena did all the damage with two goals shortly after the interval, when the home side were already a man down following the first-half dismissal of Seydou Keita.

Yaya Toure pulled a goal back for the home side not long after that, but Pep Guardiola’s men were unable to come back this time and saw their lead cut by Real Madrid, who romped Real Betis 6-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Man United vs Blackburn Highlights: EPL Highlights

Manchester United’s record-breaking run of clean sheets came to an end – so Cristiano Ronaldo came up with a moment of sheer magic at the other end to sink Blackburn 2-1 at Old Trafford.

Ronaldo produced a fantastic free-kick on the hour to send United eight points clear at the Barclays Premier League summit after Roque Santa Cruz had scored for Rovers, ending United’s barren run at 1,334 minutes.

But visiting boss Sam Allardyce was left cursing referee Howard Webb for his failure to award a penalty when Rafael Da Silva appeared to foul Morten Gamst Pedersen as Rovers remained in the relegation zone.

Aston Villa vs Chelsea Highlights: EPL Highlights

Chelsea launched the Guus Hiddink era in positive fashion as Nicolas Anelka’s first-half strike earned them a 1-0 victory and kept alive their slim hopes of lifting the Premier League title as they leapfrogged Aston Villa into third spot.

Anelka struck his 21st goal of the campaign after 19 minutes to earn the Blues their first league win at Villa Park for 10 years.

It was his first goal in nine league games and brought an end to Villa’s 13-game unbeaten sequence in the top flight stretching back to early November.

Hiddink restricted himself to a little jig of delight after seeing Anelka lift some of the gloom which has been surrounding Stamford Bridge.

Arsenal vs Sunderland Highlights: EPL Highlights

Andrei Arshavin’s debut failed to help misfiring Arsenal conjure up a goal as they played out another frustrating goalless draw against Sunderland at Emirates Stadium.

The Russian talisman signed on deadline day from Zenit St Petersburg – saw an early low shot fly just wide, before Marton Fulop beat away his angled drive.

Sunderland, though, battled well, and in the end were worth a share of the spoils as the Gunners – who hit four in the FA Cup against Cardiff here on Monday night – again could not break down a stubborn top-flight defense and missed the chance to close the gap on the top four with a third successive goalless draw in the Barclays Premier League.
