The premier league starts back after a EURO 2008 break. Arsenal find themselves on top after an impressive win over Tottenham. The Gunner handed Martin Jol’s men their fourth loss of the season and again it was due to a defense that just couldn’t do their job. Bale hit a curling free-kick to put Spurs on top early. Arsenal replied with an Adebayor header from a Fabregas free kick. Fabregas and Adebayor increased their lead with two great strikes. The Adebayor strike reminded me of this Ronaldinho goal. Portsmouth missed a chance to take 3pts at home vs. Liverpool. Man Utd. defeated a top-form Everton side with a lone goal from Vidic. West Ham picked up their third win in a row at home against Middlesbrough 3-0. Sammy Lee’s Bolton side lost their fifth of the season. The pressure continues to escalate on Sammy Lee as he has only recorded one win this season.

Sunderland 2 – Reading 1
