\"Cardiff-2-Man-United-2-EPL-Week-12\"<\/a><\/h1>\n

Manchester United took a draw not expect in Cardiff,\u00a0Liverpool and Everton’s goal duel,\u00a0The heaviest humiliation the history of Manchester City gave Tottenham.<\/h1>\n

Cardiff City 2 Manchester United 2:Welsh\u00a0did not pass to the boys of Moyes<\/h2>\n

Manchester United had been heading for all three points and a victory that would have helped take them up to fourth but Kyung headed powerfully past David De Gea to thwart David Moyes’ side.<\/p>\n

First-half goals from Wayne Rooney and Patrice Evra had looked to be enough to secure the three points and lift them into fourth in the table.<\/p>\n

David Moyes had been mulling over dropping Wayne Rooney before the game, not because of his form but because of his fear that he might burn out before the World Cup.<\/p>\n

United had been in fine fettle coming into the game having dispatched Arsenal 1-0 before the international break.<\/p>\n

The visitors were more expansive in their play going forward, but were lucky not to be down to 10 men when Rooney hacked down Jordan Mutch.<\/p>\n

After chasing the ball, Rooney appeared to elbow and then kicked Mutch in a moment of over-exuberance.<\/p>\n

But the man at the centre of the game’s main talking point made amends in the 15th minute when he read a delightful flick from Javier Hernandez before spinning and shooting past David Marshall via a Gary Medel deflection.<\/p>\n

Cardiff didn’t lose heart and started to carve out chances of their own- Peter Odemwingie blazed over after Adnan Januzaj lost possession for United.<\/p>\n

The equaliser came after 33 minutes. A flowing move involving Peter Whittingham resulted in a perfectly weighted pass into Frazier Campbell’s path. He showed composure to tuck the ball immaculately past David De Gea.<\/p>\n

But United regained the lead on the stroke of half-time when Patrice Evra rose highest from a Rooney corner to nod past Marshall for his first league goal of the season.<\/p>\n

United brought on Ryan Giggs with 15 minutes remaining to shore things up, and they should have sewn the game up however Danny Welbeck blazed over from 16 yards out.<\/p>\n

However Bo-Kyung had the last laugh as Cardiff secured a memorable point.<\/p>\n

Everton 3 Liverpool 3:Reds not enough at Goodison Park<\/h3>\n

\"Everton-3-Liverpool-3-Lukaku-Goal\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yet the reality that his header provided a sense of comfort for Liverpool, while at the same time provoking concerns over their striker, ensured the chatter continued and was indicative of a pulsating Merseyside derby that pummelled the senses.<\/p>\n

In unravelling a game that conjured the most goals in this fixture since 1935 and which should have seen the red-card count reach 21 in the Premier League era, it feels pertinent to begin not at the start but at the end.<\/p>\n

Steven Gerrard\u2019s pinpoint free-kick was met by Sturridge and his flicked header with seconds of normal time remaining restored parity.<\/p>\n

Some 10 minutes earlier, Sturridge had sashayed on to centre stage, though that Liverpool\u2019s leading scorer began on the sidelines was a bone of contention.<\/p>\n

Fit to play, but not fit to start? It is on days like Saturday when a real insight into Brendan Rodgers\u2019 job can be gained, the roles of coach, manager and psychologist rolled into one where Sturridge is concerned.<\/p>\n

The forward had looked off the pace over 90 minutes for England on Tuesday on the back of half a training session with the national team following a foot injury.<\/p>\n

Still, he had trained on the eve of the trip to Goodison Park. Just like Steven Gerrard, who lasted 52 minutes before his back stiffened up at Wembley, and Luis Suarez, who returned to Merseyside following a 7,000-mile flight from Uruguay where his country had booked their place at the World Cup.<\/p>\n

However, when Rodgers finalised his line-up, he decided Sturridge was a gamble not worth taking. \u201cI have seen it before. There is a trend,\u201d said the Liverpool boss. \u201cThere are some games when Daniel hasn\u2019t played well and that has come on the back of not training. I had to make the call.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is clearly an issue, which has ramifications for England\u2019s World Cup campaign, whereby Sturridge needs to make every effort to get on to the training pitch and then, when he is there, to think of the career which, feasibly, is stretching out before him.<\/p>\n

Asked whether he could learn from the indefatigable Suarez, Rodgers said: \u201cDifferent personalities, different types. But listen, Daniel has done great since he has been here.\u201d<\/p>\n

It spoke volumes that a standing ovation in the away dressing room was reserved for Jon Flanagan, who was the most sure-footed Liverpool defender on this, his derby debut.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wants to play and he will be in a derby that is shown on Sky in 30 years\u2019 time because of his desire to put himself out there every day,\u201d said Rodgers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t do that there is a consequence you don\u2019t play.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want to be a champion, if you want to win things, you have to be ready. For this game, I just felt Daniel wasn\u2019t ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

Further along the corridor, the sense will have been of two points lost.<\/p>\n

Had Joe Allen put Liverpool 3-1 up after an hour, instead of producing a contender for miss of the season, from just 12 yards, Everton would have struggled to respond again.<\/p>\n

Yet Roberto Martinez, who saw Kevin Mirallas score in between goals from Philippe Coutinho and Suarez in the first half and then escape a red card for an awful knee-high tackle on the Uruguayan, engenders the spirit of adventure that brings with it a freshness after the David Moyes era.<\/p>\n

Having thrown on rookie Spaniard Gerard Deulofeu when Leighton Baines limped off with a broken toe, Everton cut swathes through a Liverpool midfield that went AWOL.<\/p>\n

Romelu Lukaku woke from his slumbers and steered a close-range shot and a header beyond Belgian compatriot Simon Mignolet.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have always been capable of beating anyone,\u201d said Martinez. \u201cWhat we are trying to do is to get 70 points. What was great to see is we were the better side in open play. The next step is to get three points from these situations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sturridge denied him, but his contribution brought with it questions of its own.<\/p>\n

Manchester City 6 Tottenham 0:Humiliation<\/h4>\n

\"Manchester-City-6-Tottenham-0-Match\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The 6-0 humiliation against Manchester City yesterday was Spurs\u2019 worst Premier League result since a 7-1 defeat by Newcastle in December 1996 and piled the pressure on Villas-Boas \u2013 with Manchester United visiting White Hart Lane on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Spurs, who have taken only one point and failed to score in their last three games, never recovered after falling behind after just 14 seconds \u2013 the fifth fastest goal in Premier League history \u2013 and conceded as many goals in 90 minutes as they had done in the previous 11 games.<\/p>\n

And Villas-Boas admitted his team were so bad it could have been worse.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to be ashamed of ourselves after this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is difficult to explain. Everything went wrong for us. From being one of the best defences in the country to conceding six goals. Our plan and motivation was immediately affected by conceding after 14 seconds.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t need to point out individuals, but to lose 6-0 is extremely embarrassing for anyone involved in that. It is the worst defeat for all of us involved in Tottenham because we have high expectations and for international players to suffer this to a title rival tends to stick more.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a bad moment for everybody. We can only make sure we respond. After the first 20 minutes when we could have got back into the game, we lost control of the situation. It is my responsibility to lift the players.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to respond in the Europa League on Thursday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Villas-Boas later tweeted: \u201cThe only thing I can say is sorry. It\u2019s a very poor result, not to our level.\u201d<\/p>\n

The winger’s sumptuous chip after just 14 seconds set the tone as City swept aside Spurs with comfortable ease.<\/p>\n

Tottenham were looking to bounce back after their surprise defeat at home to Newcastle prior to the international break.<\/p>\n

Andre Villas-Boas’ had also boasted the record of having the meanest defence in the Premier League, having shipped just six goals but their defence was far from watertight against a rampant City.<\/p>\n

The game was barely a minute old when City drew first blood.<\/p>\n

An inept clearance from Hugo Lloris was latched on by Sergio Aguero. The Argentine fired an effort at Lloris, who parried the ball out but Navas was alive to the danger and lofted the ball over the Frenchman from an acute angle. The strike was the second fastest of the season following Asmir Begovic’s goal for Stoke.<\/p>\n

Spurs tried to hit back through Erik Lamela, but he got his feet all wrong and contrived to miss from a few yards with the goal at his mercy.<\/p>\n

City looked the hungrier and played with more verve and panache going forward.<\/p>\n

Tottenham on the other hand were tentative and ponderous in their build-up play. City doubled their lead on 34 minutes when another poor Lloris clearance resulted in Alvaro Negredo’s shot hitting Younes Kaboul before deflecting off Sandro and ending up in the net, which was credited as an own goal.<\/p>\n

City continued to look menacing and there was no let up as Pellegrini’s side kept coming at Spurs.<\/p>\n

Aguero made it three four minutes before the break scoring from close range.<\/p>\n

Aguero grabbed a second and City’s fourth on 50 minutes when he side-footed home from close range.<\/p>\n

Negredo stretched City’s lead even further with a left-footed shot that he crashed home.<\/p>\n

And there was time for a sixth when Navas rounded off the scoring when he fired past Lloris.<\/p>\n
