Yesterday, on Sunday, all ten matches of the nineteenth round of the English Premier League took place. The second day of Christmas was more successful for the hosts, who won five games, two matches ended in a draw, and the visitors won three times.
The leaders of the championship, Chelsea footballers, won at home with a minimal result against Aston Villa. The victory of the team that has not lost at the familiar Stamford Bridge stadium for 22 matches was determined by a single goal from Irishman Damien Duff in the 30th minute of the match. The defending champions, Arsenal, also won at home in front of more than 38 thousand spectators, beating city neighbor Fulham 2-0.
Still very successfully playing in third place in the championship is Everton from Liverpool. This time, David Moyes' players defeated the mid-table Man City 2-1. Manchester United also won, beating Bolton 2-0 at home. R.Giggs and P.Scholes performed well in this match.
In other matches, Liverpool also won an impressive victory, crushing the bottom team W.B.A. 5-0 away. Birmingham achieved a somewhat unexpected victory, beating Middlesbrough 2-0, who were in fifth place in the league.
