So what's been up in the world of football?

CSKA Moskva kept the Russian title race open as they handed Zenit St. Petersburg their first home defeat since August 2009 with a 3-1 margin. Zenit just needed a point to seize the deal however they were held at bay. The next games will prove vital as Zenit take on FC Rostov while CSKA will want 3 points from Spartak Nalchik. If both sides take victories, Zenit will look for some "simple" points against FC Rubin Kazan and PFC Krylya Sovetov Samara. Fernando Torres meanwhile has been wowing of late, giving Liverpool a 2-0 win over Chelsea alongside a 1-1 draw with Wigan Athletic. As fantastic as it is, he must be wondering when his team mates will start performing as solo efforts alone almost never buoy a team to greatness. In Scotland though, the Bhoy's set a record against Aberdeen, scoring 9 times without reply to hand the Dons their worst result in club history. Celtic do not lead the league yet. In Italy though, Inter Milan will be taking on AC Milan this Sunday in a game that may significantly decide the league title race as not only will the victors take 3 points, but they'll also be given a huge boost that will definately increase confidence. Inter sit 3 points behind their rivals. Spain at the same time will be looking on as 2nd place Barca take on 3rd place Villarreal in a game where the Yellow Submarines will hope Nilmar's eye for goal will continue. The two teams are only seperated by 2 points. Finally, Turkey will be witness to the titanic battle between the unbeaten Bursaspor, who have drawn 4/5 games that they have played. Trabzonspor have taken the league apex because of this, having won their last 5 games including a 2-0 clash with Galatasaray.
