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.

FA Cup: Everton edges Liverpool at last

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

Dan Gosling scored with two minutes left in extra time to put Everton into the fifth round of the FA Cup at the expense of its bitter rival, Liverpool.

Liverpool was reduced to 10 men with 14 minutes remaining in regulation time when Lucas was shown a second yellow card.

Rafa Benitez, the Liverpool manager, said: “The turning point of the game was the second yellow card for Lucas, I was not happy, but I do not want to say anything about the referee.”

Liverpool’s plans were set back after 15 minutes when captain Steven Gerrard limped off with what was believed to be a hamstring injury.

FA CUP:Cardiff-Arsenal

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

Cardiff are a decent outfit and Ninian Park is certainly an atmospheric ground. Although this is the competition we’re most likely to get silverware from this season, there’ll be some rotation of the squad with Wednesday’s league game against Everton coming up, which will be a very difficult game for Arsenal.

It’s a game we’re certainly capable of winning.

Arsene  Wenger coach from Arsenal said:

“We are not there yet and I can understand that people doubt us,” “We are more consistent now than we were at the start of the season and we have beaten all the big teams. Why should we not believe that we can come back?

“We are now four points behind Chelsea and with two minutes to go last week we were one point behind them, Manchester United as well. So why would we give up now?

“I take a distance with what people say because I believed when we weren’t winning that we would come back.

“That is why this game for me is not only a cup game but it is an alignment with a very important quality for us; showing that we put it in, in every single game we play.

“I ignore that it is a cup game. I just want to see another game where we come out and do the job.”

Wigan – Everton 1-0 (0-0)

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

Henri Camara scoring in a 1-0 victory over Everton on Monday.

The Senegalese striker’s Henri Camara scored in  51st-minute goal six minutes after coming on ended Everton’s five-game unbeaten run and took Wigan from 18th to 15th in the congested Premier League standings.

Wigan goalkeeper Chris Kirkland had made a one-handed save from Louis Saha, the home side created the better chances and Wilson Palacios headed a cross from Antonio Valencia over the bar in the 34th minute.

Howard was beaten when Valencia eluded Joleon Lescott and swung over a cross from the right and Camara, looking suspiciously offside, escaped his markers to tap the ball home.

Tim Cahill had a close-range shot blocked off the line by a defender, and the Australia midfielder fired over the bar in injury time.
