Tottenham capitalised on Chelsea losing yesterday, by beating 10-man West Bromwich Albio to move within 1 point of their London rivals. The home side dominated the first half, but failed to open the scoring, with Shane Long spurring numerous chances. Straight after half time, West Brom defender Goran Popov appeared to spit at Tottenham's Kyle Walker, and was given a straight red card. Tottenham dominated the game from there on in, with the only goal of the game scored by Gareth Bale 20 minutes from time.
The Barclays Premier League Champions were held to a 2-2 draw by Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium this afternoon. Edin Dzeko opened the scoring for Manchester City after 23 minutes, as they looked to reduce Manchester United's lead at the top of the league to 7 points with a win. However, just 6 minutes later, Daniel Sturridge fired home a superb equaliser against his old club to draw Liverpool level.
The away side started to dominate the game, and with less than 20 minutes remaining, captain Steven Gerrard fired home a superb trademark volley from 25 yards, leaving Joe Hart helpless. But almost immediately, City were level, as Pepe Reina came out to close down Sergio Aguero, but the Argentine took the ball around the Spaniard and produced an outstanding finish from a tight angle.
