Liverpool stay in top with 1-0 win over Pompey

Early this morning when I was preparing to go to work, I opened the TV to watch the latest in Wall Street but was surprised to see Barclays Premier League games on ESPN and Star Sports. I did not catch SportsCenter last night but I did check out the TV listings on ESPN’s website yesterday and found there were no BPL games on schedule.

Still, I was a bit disappointed that the Liverpool-Portsmouth game was never covered but I did see Arsenal went ahead 4-2 against Spurs after a massive Emmanuel Adebayor goal. Amazingly, when I checked the results just a few minutes ago on the web, Tottenham managed to grab a point at the Emirates as the scoreline ended 4-4. No doubt that the Houdini has really made a positive difference in that club.

Earlier, I was concerned that Liverpool might lose two points or worse will be beaten by Pompey with the match still scoreless at the half while the rest of the Big Four already hacking up a double in their respective fixtures. But Captain Marvelous Steven Gerrard made a goal 15 minutes left that proved to be the winner. That kept the Reds a full game ahead of Chelsea and 8 points top of Manchester United.

This is a good sign for Liverpool despite missing their top striker Fernando Torres. They are not burning the back of the net like the rest of the Big Four but they are getting the job done. And that is what matters. Incidentally, they will be up against the resurgent Spurs in the weekend in an interesting match up of two clubs that have so much to prove.
