November 11, 2013 08:23

While Newcastle made London teams regret for the second time in a row (this time it was Tottenham), Man City also unexpectedly "fell off the horse" against Sunderland and Arsenal officially ended their unbeaten streak in the Premier League after this 11th round.

Quite a few surprises happened in round 11 of the 2013/14 English Premier League when a series of teams that were considered weaker in the confrontations all won excellently.

Tottenham taste bitter fruit at home

Coach Villas-Boas's players are in good form in all competitions. And playing at home against Newcastle is the basis for the Roosters to believe they can win all 3 points in round 11.

On the other hand, except for the shocking win against Chelsea at St James Park, the Magpies' form is generally not good.

However, in the second time in two weeks facing London teams, coach Alan Pardew and his team made their opponents taste bitter fruit. A similar tragedy to what happened to The Blues was repeated with coach Villas-Boas' students.

Newcastle’s overly solid and pragmatic style of play, combined with goalkeeper Tim Krul’s “possessed” performance, has left the home team’s best players shaking their heads in dismay. With two consecutive victories against two teams considered stronger, Newcastle will surely be reassessed by many people regarding their strength.

Man City unexpectedly lost painfully to Man Utd's "backyard"

“Black Cat” Sunderland has always been considered as the “backyard” of Man Utd when this team often buys out-of-date characters at Old Trafford. Besides, every time they faced the students of coach Alex Ferguson in the past, Sunderland often lost miserably.

Meanwhile, Man City, with their stable performance and already having a "deep hatred" for Man Utd, will obviously have a reason to "borrow" Sunderland as a "scapegoat" to help them prove their strength to the red half of Manchester. Therefore, playing at The Light is not a very solid support for Sunderland in this match.

However, the scenario on the field went in a direction that few people could have imagined. From the beginning, coach Manuel Pellegrini's students did not hide their intention to win all 3 points in this match and flooded the opponent's field. In a match where people were confident in Man City's ability to open the score early, surprisingly Sunderland scored first in the 21st minute, and the one who scored - more surprisingly, was defender - Bardsley.

After that surprise goal, a double-decker bus was erected in front of goalkeeper Mannone's goal. And no matter how hard they tried, The Citizens could not turn any of their chances into goals.

Arsenal was "killed" by an "old man" right at Old Trafford

This season, The Gunners visit Old Trafford with a new position – the team leading the Premier League. Meanwhile, on the other side, the owner of the Theatre of Dreams is having a series of unimpressive achievements.

It was thought that, with that momentum, Arsenal would have a chance to improve their poor head-to-head record with Man Utd in recent years. However, once again, with the "know yourself, know your enemy" style of play, the Red Devils made coach Arsene Wenger and his team cry once again.

Playing a defensive counter-attack and constantly pressing the opponent, Man Utd completely controlled the situation and forced the opponent into their own position. Throughout the match, Arsenal seemed unable to create any decent chances. Not only that, the North London team also suffered a painful blow from their former captain - Van Persie. This was a very convincing victory for Man Utd, and the 3 points won at Old Trafford can be seen as the Red Devils of Manchester's affirmation of an extremely strong comeback in the near future.
