Everton-Birmingham Match

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

For the fifth time Birmingham has won in the Premier League, facing with Everton and having a great result:1-1 at Goodison Park.

Diniyar Bilyaletdinov is known to have put the Merseysiders, hovering above the relegation zone, with 5 minute before Sebastian Larsson has equalised with the 1st shot of Birmingham’s team.

Everton is the team which won only once in its last eleven league matches, and it has no victory at home. This is since beating the Blackburn team with 3-0.

However, the man of David Moyes wanted that sequence to come to an end when they succeed with that goal. The Everton’s team was happy to score, but not until his effort was ruled out for offside. Saha, the person who thought he scored felt unlucky in that moment.

On the other side, Larsson decided to exchange passes with Christian Benitez not until he shot past Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard. Then, Everton decided to continue after half-time while Birmingham held firm so that they have extended their unbeaten run to 8 matches.

“I’m very, very pleased indeed but any more than that I’m not saying at the moment,” said Allardyce.

Sam Allardyce got Bolton promoted to the Premier League and left after four consecutive top-eight finishes.

Sam Allardyce also managed only eight months at Newcastle, however.

Monday, November 10th, 2008

Nicolas Anelka continued his good run of form on Sunday as he scored both of Chelsea’s goals in a 2-0 win over Blackburn.

Defender Jose Bosingwa threw a hopeful shot towards goal that appeared to be headed wide, however the ball struck Anelka and left Blackburn keeper Paul Robinson with no chance.

Frank Lampard and Florent Malouda teamed up to put Anelka through on goal in the 68th minute, and the match it’s over for Blackburn.
