AM matches that kept me awake

Liverpool vs Portsmouth: 1-0
Anfield, Liverpool

LFC won with 1-0 against Portsmouth last night and bagged another 3 points for the team. the goal was a PK made by Gerrard in the 74' min. from the attempted shots made by the players, it could have gotten LFC greater goals if luck was on their side but sadly, most shots are either blocked or caught by the keeper. during the first half, Kuyt's and Arbeloa's shots are both possible goals for the team but unfortunately, James blocked Kuyt's ball with both hands and as for Arbeloa's, it was a few inches away from the goal post. for the second half, they started high-spirited like usual but as time passed on, they began weakening as the ball was mostly obtained or possessed by the opposing team. if they weren't too tired, they might have played a better game than what they performed last night. nevertheless, the one goal is enough to keep LFC still on top of the league.

Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur: 4-4
Emirates Stadium, North London

it was an amazing match and the outcome was absolutely unexpected! Tottenham is blessed with a new manager, Harry Redknapp (ex-Pompey manager) as he changed the team dramatically from losers to a winning, strong team. Tottenham already got talented players and clearly it was the one that managed the team before was the problem so there's no surprise that they're suddenly appear as a confident and risky team with Redknapp. in the first half, the score was 1-1 with Tottenham leading by Bentley's goal from a long range at 13' min and equalized later by Arsenal's Silvestre during the team's corner kick at 37' min. During the second half, Arsenal scored their second goal with Gallas heading a ball from their corner kick at 46' min. Adebayor also scored at 64' min where he was running towards the passed ball by Nasri in mid-air and quickly kicked it into the net before the defender had any chance in kicking it out. Now the score became 3-1 but that changed at 67' as Tottenham's Huddlestone shot a low drive but blocked by Almunia and Bent who was nearby, took a chance and shots for the net. He scored making it 3-2, but a minute after that Arsenal bagged another goal with Van Persie leaving them with 4-2. everyone was confident that Arsenal would be the match's winner but at 89' min, Jenas unexpectedly goaled as he shots for the net. High-spirited & confident, Tottenham tried their luck for an equalizer and within the additional minute, 90+(5) Lennon made the last goal which immediately ends the game with 4-4.
