da luck： Just the six games in the Premier League this week,
Who would prove mighty and who would be meek?
Well, Sunderland and Wolves could’ve played in the dark,
The difference in the result wouldn’t have been stark,
Man City mow Canaries in a six goal treat,
As Paul Lambert’s men become shredded tweet,
Swansea City end their losing run,
But Blackburn gloomy and having no fun,
Brendan Rodgers can thank the Swans super Sig,
The Icelandic maestro just loves having a dig,
But Manchester United five points clear,
As Manchester City enviously leer,
Two weeks now til the big showdown,
With United likely to retain their crown.
Goal of the Weekend
The performances of Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero have often been overshadowed this season by the antics of his fellow strikers, namely Mario Balotelli and Carlos Tevez. However, Aguero’s two goals on Saturday helped City thrash Norwich but his first strike in particular was magnificent.
He arrowed a 25-yard shot into the top corner rendering John Ruddy’s dive futile. It was the Argentinian’s first goal in the Premier League this season which has come outside of London and Manchester. Considering this statistic, it’s impressive that he’s third in the goal scoring charts with 21 goals in the Premier League.
Player of the Weekend
Had Papiss Demba Cissé not been performing so well for Newcastle United in recent weeks, it would be easy to label Gylfi Sigurdsson as the best signing in the January transfer window. The attacking midfielder, who’s also the chairman of an Icelandic fishing industry company, has seven goals in 14 appearances. This is the first time he has played in the Premier League having never had the opportunity to do so with Reading.
As he showed again on Saturday, he’s relishing the opportunity. Sigurdsson scored another spectacular effort against Blackburn, something which has become a trademark of the Icelandic. It was his first goal at the Liberty Stadium and he also grabbed an assist. Sigurdsson’s shot rebounded off the post onto Scott Dann and in turn into the goal, rounding off a 3-0 defeat for Blackburn and another good day for Gylfi Sigurdsson and Swansea.
Interview of the Weekend
Carlos Tevez is hardly a darling of English football after his refusal to come on as a substitute for Manchester City against Bayern Munich in September last year. However, his second start since Roberto Mancini declared he would never play for City again brought the Argentinian a hat-trick. This meant he was named man of the match by Sky Sports – cue Carlos facing the cameras, but not for very long.
After asking questions to Vincent Kompany, Sky Sports’ Andy Burton turned to Carlos Tevez and what happened next was bizarre, yet somehow expected….
Andy Burton: Carlos, you happy to be back?
Carlos Tevez: Yes [Laughs, then Pauses] I man of the match?
Andy Burton: You are man of the match, you’ll get that [bottle of champagne] in a minute
Carlos Tevez: Thank you! [Takes Champagne and tries to walk off] Thank you, see you
Andy Burton: Very quickly, did you dive?
Carlos Tevez: huh?
Andy Burton: Did you dive?
Carlos Tevez: I don’t know [Rushes off}
Andy Burton: OK, he’s off!
It’s doubtful this interview will endear Tevez any further to those who dislike him but if he helps claw Manchester City back into the title race, their fans won’t mind!
