In every English premier league season we talk more about the toppers of the leaderboard than those who reside at the bottom, and actually, whoever ends campaign at the bottom is equally mentionable – though for its poor form. Aston Villa is one such side who has been devastating throughout the year and for its insensible display of form in the field, this Villa Park side could only secure a bottom place for itself after they lose another game to Manchester United by 1-0 last night. The game itself has nothing to talk about except Marcus Rashford’s only winner that took his side little bit closer to the top four, though Red Devils have virtually no chance to seal a Championship league qualification. Aston Villa centre-back Joleon Lescott talked about their latest blow to ManU and if they deserved a loss at Old Trafford, he said in an interview after the game, “We knew before the game what we had to do but coming to Old Trafford is never easy no matter what situation you're in. … [Read more...]
Man United hails EPL title for the 20th time
Nothing could provide a better piece of mind than winning a major league title in front of 70000 odd fans and with a clean sweep. This is what happened with Manchester United, who has long been predicted as the winner of EPL title this season, and they did it in style; they defeated Aston Villa with a 3-0 clean sweep last night. It was Van Persie who showed a magnificent display of soccer and put on a hat trick in the first half itself which was too much for Villa to even equalize. It was actually the night of ManU where whole stadium was chanting Chamipon, Champion and No. 20. coz this was going to be the twentieth title for the Alex Ferguson team.

Even though, the winner has been decided but trophy will only be rewarded after the final match of the league against Swansea on … [Read more...]

Chelsea celebrates their big win over Villa
8 - 0 This is something amazing happened to Chelsea after they see the worst for them in recent times. Their scoring machine leveled most of their last defeats by surging their average goal per match count to three. Moreover, their astonishing win over Villa in premium league made it sure that Rafael Benítez’s team will better be placed at the third spot in EPL. Aston Villa must have been feeling pity when they have been slapping one after another goal by Blues’ force. More interestingly, Chelsea fired 8 goals in total and none of the goals could be answered by Villa, perhaps, total count would have been much more should Villa goalkeeper have not done a splendid job by stopping many brilliant shots fired by the Blues. This is probably the first time in history when seven different players scored for Chelsea’s eight fired goals. Despite a biggest ever EPL win in recent times, Rafael Benitez still sees much room for improvement in the team. After the match, the jubilant manager told … [Read more...]
