Manchester United finally flexed their muscle destroying sorry Wigan 4-0. Tevez finally showed why United worked so hard to get his services, and Ronaldo was rampant. United poached on every mistake made by Wigan, who seemed to have simply given up by the second half. Arsenal kept their spot atop the table after two wonderful goals by Robin Van Persie, the hottest player right now in the Premiership. To Sunderland's credit, they fought back and nearly stole a point off the leaders, kudos to Keane's side, but again they head home empty handed.
In Sunday's featured match, Tottenham came out and put on a display of how an attacking soccer team should play together. Unfortunately for Spurs, their defense is a leaky ship, just waiting to sink; and sink it did as Robinson gifted Voronin his goal and nearly gave Liverpool another before the sputtering defense finally gave up two points in the waning moments. It likely would have been worse had it not been for the strong effort of Didier Zakora, who continually cleaned up the mess left by Tottenham's other hapless defenders.
And a final note in the weekend's matches, spectacular Elano led third place Man City to all the points. The striker has been nothing less than sensational, scoring two incredible goals after last week's cracker from long range. Other crucial matches showed Michael Owen coming back from hernia surgery to grab the winner for Newcastle, Blackburn snagging all the points from unlucky Birmingham and Chelsea sneaking past Bolton 1-0.
