On Wednesday, Manchester clubs, slowly distancing themselves from the closest pursuers, secured victories in the XIV round of the English Premier League matches.
The defending champions, "Man City," secured a 2-0 victory over "Wigan" thanks to precise shots from Mario Balotelli and James Milner in the second half.
Meanwhile, the leading team in the standings, "Man Utd," pleased their fans with just a one-goal victory over "West Ham" in London. Robin van Persie scored a goal in the 33rd second of the match, although it was somewhat lucky as the ball hit the opponent's goalkeeper after being deflected by his own defenders.
It is worth noting that this was the fastest goal in the Premier League season.
Rafael Benitez failed to calm the discontent of the fans of London's "Chelsea" club with his appointment as head coach, as the "Blues" drew 0-0 with "Fulham" in the familiar "Stamford Bridge" stadium.
In a match between Liverpool's "Everton" and London's "Arsenal," the referee's final whistle resulted in a 1-1 draw, while "West Bromwich Albion" was displaced in the standings by the "Swansea" team, who secured a 3-1 victory at home.
