Birmingham vs Chelsea Highlights : EPL Highlights

Birmingham stopper Ben Foster produced a superb performance as leaders Chelsea suffered successive Barclays Premier League defeats for the first time in more than four years. Lee Bowyer’s opening-half goal, his first for nearly 12 months, earned Alex McLeish’s side a shock victory. But their hero tonight was Foster who bounced back from his error on England duty in midweek with a series of stunning saves.

Chelsea dominated proceedings for the entire 90 minutes but they could not find the back of the net past the former Manchester United player. It was a vastly improved performance by Chelsea compared to their 3-0 home mauling by Sunderland last weekend.
But they tasted defeat in back to back league games for the first time since the end of the 2005-2006 campaign and they now only lead Manchester United on goal difference. In addition to Foster, City centre-backs Scott Dann and Roger Johnson were solid and outstanding.

Everton vs Arsenal Highlights: EPL Highlights

Goals from Bacary Sagna and Cesc Fabregas in either half proved decisive as Arsenal held off an Everton fightback to claim second place in the Premier League with a 2-1 win.Sagna opened the scoring after 35 minutes at Goodison Park with a ferocious strike from a tight angle and Fabregas doubled the lead early into the second half.

Samir Nasri and Marouane Chamakh wasted some glorious chances to add to the lead but Everton produced a thrilling finish and deservedly pulled one back through Tim Cahill late on. The Gunners also had Lukasz Fabianksi to thank for their three points, the goalkeeper having produced some fine saves to deny Jermaine Beckford, Steven Pienaar and Louis Saha. Jack Rodwell also blazed a fine chance over as Everton fought hard not to surrender their seven-match unbeaten run.

Chelsea vs Sunderland Highlights: EPL Highlights

Sunderland denied Chelsea the chance to stretch the lead at the top of the table with a 3-0 victory against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Nedum Onuoha, Asamoah Gyan and Danny Welbeck were on the score-sheet as Chelsea suffered their first home defeat since March and their first at the hands of Sunderland since 2001.

The visitors stunned Carlo Ancelotti’s side on the stroke of half-time when Onuoha blasted his way through the home defence to score. Gyan added the second just after half-time with a cool finish and Welbeck seized on a poor backpass by Ashley Cole in the 87th minute to hand Chelsea their second defeat in three games.

Stoke City vs Liverpool Highlights: EPL Highlights

When it seemed that Roy Hodgson’s men have finally found winning ways, their recent revival slumped in dismal fashion as they lost 2-0 to Stoke at the Britannia Stadium. A six-match unbeaten run came to end as they were outfought, outplayed and out manned by Tony Pulis’ side.

Ricardo Fuller opened the scoring just after half-time and Kenwyne Jones completed a comprehensive victory in the final minute before Lucas Leiva was sent off for a second yellow card. The Potters more than deserved their win against a team who appear to have lost their way as quickly as they found it. Liverpool have won away from home only once this season and only three times since last November.
