Are Arsenal Back?

What a Saturday of Premier League football. No goalless draws and plenty of goals scored - 26 in total with 2 games to play. These sort of weekends do occur in the Premier League every now and then and make the Premier League's marketing department proudly proclaim the league as the most exciting league in the world.



Firstly, undoubtedly the game of the round and a candidate for game of the season - and boy have we been blessed after last weekend's amazing Manchester derby..

Questions should be asked about Villa-Boas' Chelsea side in defence this season and if results don't improve, he could risk an early exit like Luiz Felipe Scolari in 2008.

Here are the highlights to the other games:














So the results mean that Man City and Man United still dominate the top of the table but Chelsea have lost ground to the leaders with that defeat while Arsenal move up to 7th behind Liverpool and Tottenham. Newly promoted Norwich and Swansea solidify their places in the top 10.  

Elsewhere in Europe,

Real Madrid and Barcelona continue to romp away in La Liga. Barcelona continue to thrash teams at home like there's no tomorrow with Mallorca the latest team at the wrong end of a 5-star thumping, while Real Madrid came away from a tough encounter with Real Sociedad at the San Anoeta with all 3 points.

Bayern Munich are also romping away in the Bundesliga taking advantage of Borussia Dortmund's slip-up at Stuttgart. Schalke take over second spot with a 3-1 win over Hoffenheim.

AC Milan have closed the gap to leaders Juventus at the top of Serie A to 2 points after beating Roma 3-2 in Rome. Inter remain in deep trouble following their latest loss to Juventus.

Football. Love it.
