Domestic matches 11/20.

Well, in England we only had one game today in the top flight with Chelsea welcoming the fluctuating team from Liverpool. Boy were the Blues surprised as they fell behind in the 33rd minute from a Maxi Rodriguez goal. The half time score was 0-1 to the visitors. Chelsea fought back though, making things level in the 55th minute through Daniel Sturridge. The game continued at this pace for much of the rest of the game, before Glen Johnson showed up. With a strike in the 87th minute, Liverpool had won it and Chelsea were left scratching their heads. After the result Chelsea are in 4th place in the league while Liverpool are 6th. Manchester City are now the only undefeated team in the league, still sitting at the top of the table with a 5 point lead over 2nd place rivals Manchester United. Meanwhile, across the Channel in Germany, Hamburg defeated Hoffenheim 2-0 thanks to an opener from Jose Paolo Guerrero in the 25th and a closer from Marcell Jansen in the 65th minute. Stuttgart were able to edge their guests Augsburg in their match today as well: Martin Harnik opened the scoring account in the 41st minute giving Stuttgart a 1-0 lead before the half.
