In the "Premier League" in England, four matches were played on Thursday.
In a fierce London derby, "Tottenham" at home defeated "Arsenal", who were unable to find their game and suffered their fourth defeat in a row, by a score of 2-1.
Rafael van der Vaart put the hosts ahead just before half-time, scoring the 10,000th goal in the history of "Tottenham," but after the break, Aaron Ramsey equalized the score.
However, in the 73rd minute, Kyle Walker secured the victory for his team with an impressive long-range shot.
Frank Lampard scored three goals as London's "Chelsea" easily thrashed the bottom of the table "Bolton" team 5-1.
The first goal came after just over a minute, when Daniel Sturridge headed the ball into the net. Lampard soon doubled the lead, signaling a tough afternoon for the hosts.
Adam Bogdan's mistakes before half-time allowed "Chelsea" to start their rout, and Dedryck Boyata's consolation goal had little significance as Lampard, scoring his fifth goal, reestablished a four-goal lead.
