Liverpool v. Arsenal this Sunday. Although I support Liverpool, I enjoy watching Wenger's boys play. If all the stars on the pitch are feeling it, this could be one beautiful match.

Tottenham wins, 2-1! This was the best EPL match I've seen all year.

Spurs went ahead early in the secon half. Robbie Keane beat Boulahrouz twice on the left side of the field in succession, then crossed the ball, which was deflected to Lennon. Lennon controlled the ball, beat Ashley Cole to the left and put a strong lefty shot past Hilario. Fantastic sequence. Lennon is a dazzling player, and (with Theo Walcott) the future of English football.

From the second Tottenham goal until around minute 75, Chelsea seemed rattled. Terry even lost his famous cool and got tossed after some tangling and harsh words in the aftermath of a Chelsea corner. Around minute 75 the Blues, with only ten men, regained their composure and looked offensively menacing. But they couldn't equalize.

The entire match was played at a blistering pace, and was a joy to watch...unlike Liverpool's workmanlike win over Reading yesterday. A 2-0 win is a 2-0 win, but the Reds' win was certainly not one I'd watch again.

Just watched the first half of Spurs-Chelsea, 1-1. Wow. An absolute classic soccer match. It's like watching a hundred yard dash where the sprinters are punching each other and gobbling amphetamines.

Chelsea poured it on in the first twenty minutes and looked to obliterate Spurs. Robben's early wide open chance was squelched by an incredible recovery tackle from Ledley King. Moments later, Chelsea got its deserved goal from Makelele, who uncorked a highlight reel curveball from the top of the key on which Robinson had no chance. At that point I thought the Spurs might lose 4-nil. Chelsea was dominant.

Things changed at minute 24. Dawson head-flicked an incoming free kick to the far corner of Hilario's goal and levelled. Tottenham grabbed the momentum, and pressed hard, with Berbatov and Lennon creating all sorts of havoc for the Chelsea defense. Lennon, especially, had a sparkling effort where he beat Cole and Lampard then lofted a nice cross that, unfortunately, Spurs could not capitalize on.

This game is the best EPL match I've seen all year, so far. Onto the second half.
