Football: England, Premier League, Game week 34th
Arsenal team are
going through a crisis. Recently, they have squandered their title
chances. In the league they won for the last time on the 16th of March
against Tottenham. Then they suffered a devastating defeat from Chelsea
London (6:0), two draws with Swansea and Man City. During last
game week the Gunners could not win against their direct rivals for the
place in Champions League’s qualifiers Everton. The Toffees won 3:0.
Arsenal did not play during the weekend in the league because they had
their FA Cup semi-final against Wigan Athletic. The game was really
tough for Wenger’s boys but only after the penalty shootout. It was
Wigan who took the lead after being awarded with a penalty in the 63rd
minute of the game. Then it was the German defender Mertesacker who gave
the Gunners the equalizer. During the shootout the Polish goalkeeper
Łukasz Fabiański saved the first two penalties and eventually Arsenal
won 4:2 on penalties.
West Ham are
sitting rather safe in the Premiership. Being 7 points clear of the drop
zone and having only five games till the end of the season should be
enough to maintain their place in the Premiership. During the last game
week the Hammers hosted at Upton Park the current leaders Liverpool.
Steven Gerrard took the advantage of two penalties the Reds were awarded
with and these were enough for the visitors to win 1:2. When it comes
to the other recent performances of West Ham, they won against
Sunderland on the road and against Hull City at home. The Hammers have
got still a few difficult games in front of them, e.g. Tottenham Hotspur
and Manchester City in the two final game weeks of this season.
