German Bundesliga:
The home team for the most part seem to be doing very well today as Bayern are rather comfortable in their game against Eintracht Frankfurt. The score is 4-1 in the second half with strikes for Tymoshchuk, Muller, and Mario Gomez for Bayern and the Greek Gekas notching one for Frankfurt. Hamburg are also flying in their match against Stuttgart, leading by a margin of 4-2 thanks to the usual suspects: Trochowski, Petric, van Nistelrooy, and Pitroipa. Stuttgart have only been kept in through the efforts of Marica and Gentner, both scoring in the early moments of each half. Hannover are also winning, 3-0 over Freiburg, to keep the goal tally in the league today at three goals per game or more. Hoffenheim meanwhile are the only home team not winning today as Bayer Leverkusen are proving too much for them to handle. Leverkusen only scored in the first ten minutes of the game thus far, including a penalty kick which made it a 2-0 game before Ibisevic and then Sigurdsson pulled one back each for the home side to steal a point from their opponents, with the score 2-2 as the final whistle blows. Finally, Kaiserslautern are obliterating FC Schalke 04 5-0 thanks in large part to some relatively unknowns compared to Schalke's squad: Lakic, Amedick, Ilicevic, and Moravek have each scored; Lakic twice, as the Red Devils romp over their opponents.
Scottisch Premier League:
Celtic lead Inverness 2-0 at Celtic Park thanks to the efforts of Ki-Sung-Yong a little before half time and McCourt in the 65th minute. And then, Inverness showed up, as Foran in the 70th and Munro in the 83rd tied the game 2-2. A rather disappointing result for the Bhoys. Kilmarnock v.s. Aberdeen was the only other game with goals as the home team once more lead, this time 2-0 thanks to Sammon and Hamill in the 18th and 51st minutes respectively. Kilmarnock were actually able to run the game down, ending the game in the lead. Hamilton v.s. St. Mirren and Hib's v.s. St. Johnstone were both 0-0 matches.
English Premier League:
Aston Villa v.s. Arsenal went 0-2 for Arsenal, to 1-2, to 1-3, to 2-3, to 2-4 with Arsenal in the lead as the final whistle blows. Arshavin and Nasri scored in the first half before Clark put one in in the 52nd minute. Chamakh put one more in for Arsenal, in the 56th, to make it 1-3. Clark had a really good game as he scored another goal to bring the home side back up, but Wilshere put the game to bed in the 3rd minute of stoppage time with a final goal to send Arsenal to the league apex; for a time. Bolton v.s Blackpool is a really close game, 1-2 for the away side. Martin Petrov has sort of rekindled Bolton's energy with the team's first goal in the 76th minute, but Blackpool still lead thanks to Evatt and Varney. But that lead has been shattered as Mark Davies puts in a goal in the 89th minute to make the match 2-2! In another part of England, Everton is losing at home, 1-4, to West Brom. Tim Cahill's one strike minutes before half time hasn't been enough for the home side as West Brom have scored two goals in both periods of the game to put themselves in quite a commanding position. Fulham v.s. Birmingham meanwhile is a game that seems like it will go right down to the death. The two sides are tied 1-1 in the dying minutes thanks to Clint Dempsey in the 53rd and Sebastian Larsson in the 20th for the respective sides. Manchester United on the other hand are a force of mass destruction, seeing Blackburn off 7-1 with 5 goals from Dimitar Berbatov alone! Park Ji-Sung and Nani are the other United players to score, overshadowing Samba's 83rd minute goal. In the meantime, Stoke at home held Manchester City to a 1-1 draw as both teams scored really late goals to end the match in deadlock. Richards scored in the 81st minute for City but Etherington's 2nd minute of stoppage time goal busted the Manchester bubble, salvaging a point for the gritty Stoke side. West Ham v.s. Wigan on the other hand had a clearer winner, as Valon Behrami, Victor Obinna, and Scott Parker put three in for West Ham before Tom Cleverley managed one in the 86th minute. Finally, from going 1-0 up, to 1-2 down, Wolves finished the match 3-2, defeating Sunderland in the last 10 minutes thanks to the efforts of Kevin Foley, Stephen Hunt, and Sylvain Ebanks-Blake. Sunderland managed two goals though, through Darren Bent and Danny Welbeck. As I post this, Sampdoria and Milan are tied 0-0 in Italy while Zaragoza and Villarreal are also even, 0-0, in Spain. Pacos de Ferreira lead Olhanense 1-0 in Portugal as Maritimo are tied 0-0 with Vitoria SC.
