Molti pareggi hanno caratterizzato le gare di “English Premier League”, uno dei quali ha visto protagonista il Chelsea che, complice una incerta prestazione del portiere Cech, ha diviso la posta ( 3-3 ) contro l’ Everton. Importanti successi dei Wolves sul Tottenham e del Birmingham City ( tifosi in foto ) sul West Ham ( 1-0 ). Il quarto successo consecutivo dei padroni di casa sugli “Hammers” porta la firma dell’ ex Bowyer.  La vera notizia della giornata è, però. rappresentata dall’ Aston Villa “corsaro” sul terreno del Man United grazie ad una rete di Agbonlhaor.; i “Villans” non battevano i “Red Devils” da dieci anni. Sul fronte tifosi il Peterborough ha deciso di non fare più accedere supporters ospiti nella zona degli “executive boxes” dopo momenti di tensione in occasione della sfida contro il Swansea. Un fan di casa era stato allontanato dallo stadio dopo che, proprio in questa area in teoria “vip”, la presenza di sostenitori dei “cigni” aveva infiammato gli animi. In “Scottish Premier League” i Rangers hanno avuto facilmente ragione del St. Johnstone ( 3-0 ) che, qualora battessero nel recupero infrasettimanale il Dundee City, supererebbero i Celtic passati, con non poca fatica ( 3-2 ) a Motherwell. Proprio gli arancioni e gli Hibs hanno dovuto accontentarsi di poste divise fuori casa, allontanadosi leggermente dal duo di testa. A proposito di Dundee Rangers fa discutere l’ intenzione della locale dirigenza di fare ripagare il biglietto, seppure a metà prezzo, della gara sospesa per pioggia alla fine dei primi 45 minuti con i campioni in carica in vantaggio per una rete a zero.

Agbonlahor (far left) heads Villa in front after 21 minutes

Aston Villa ended a 10-year wait to beat Manchester United and moved up to third place after achieving their first Premier League victory at Old Trafford.

Gabriel Agbonlahor scored the winner, heading in from Ashley Young’s cross.Wayne Rooney’s shot smashed against the underside of the bar as United hit back, while Ryan Giggs also went close.Nemanja Vidic had a header cleared off the line and Brad Friedel superbly denied Dimitar Berbatov as Villa clung on to claim an historic win.The last time Villa beat United was in 1999, in a league cup match, and it is the first time in 28 league games that Villa have claimed all three points against Sir Alex Ferguson’s men, in a run stretching back to 1983.
