During the matches of the 23rd round of the English Premier League played on Saturday, the championship favorites added three points each to their account in the tournament table.
In the London "Chelsea" game, players at home defeated the "Blackburn" eleven with a score of 2-0 after precise strikes by Branislav Ivanovic and Nicolas Anelka in the second half.
Another team from the capital, "Arsenal," also celebrated a dry victory, defeating the "West Ham" team 3-0 away. Among the winners, the recovering striker Robin van Persie stood out, who defeated the opponents' goalkeeper twice.
Meanwhile, "Man City" won 4-3 against the "Wolves" football players in front of their own audience, at least temporarily rising to the first place in the championship standings.
It is worth mentioning that the debut of the Bosnian and Herzegovinian national team member, forward Edin Dzeko, who cost around 32 million euros, took place within the ranks of the Arab-owned club. He made a productive pass for the third goal.
