You got to love the English Premier League for the sheer fact that you never know what is going to happen. Just as the last games of 2011 in the league were shocking, it turns out the first games of 2012 were just as shocking.

Sunderland 1 – Manchester City 0

Manchester United lads should probably send some bubbly to the Sunderland boys after today’s match. Because of the absolute stunner from Sunderland’s Ji Dong-won in the dying minutes of the match, the race for the English Premier League title is wide open.

And Sunderland truly went into this match as the underdogs, with injuries and problems in their back line. Boss Martin O’Neill had some of his midfielders step up to the plate to play in the back and what helped him out further was the fact that it seemed City’s Manager Roberto Mancini was thinking more about the clash with Liverpool coming up than the here and now.

Aguero and David Silva didn’t start, finding themselves on the bench, and current City star Mario Balotelli wasn’t even including in the 18 Mancini named for the game. It proved to be a lesson for all.

Despite all of Sunderland’s woes, they were clearly the better team in the beginning of the game. The only thing really keeping the Black Cats from the lead before the half was the fact striker Nicklas Bendtner couldn’t get the ball in the net. However, after keeper Joe Hart had to make a few saves, City finally started to take things a bit seriously and show up to the match.  They were able to rattle the crossbar a few times, but Sunderland’s make-shift back line held.

By the half, Mancini decided it was time to actually try to put the game away and brought on Aguero and Silva when the second 45 started. Things started to pick up again for City, but Sunderland’s keeper Simon Mignolet picked up some great saves. There was a heart-stopping moment in the 59th minute when Sunderland’s Sessegnon went down under a challenge by City’s Kolarov and the ref signaled for play to continue.  City pushed forward under the momentum, but again, a nice set up was wasted as Mignolet made a close save off a Aguero shot.

The minutes went by with more chances for both teams, but still nothing of merit. Finally, in the dying minutes of game – the fourth minute of injury time actually - Sessegnon pushed the ball into the path of Ji, who deftly moved around Joe Hart and snatched the three points for Sunderland.

It’s a stellar way to start off the year for Sunderland and makes things oh so interesting for the top of the table.

West Brom 0 – Everton 1

US International Landon Donovan didn’t start for Everton this morning, but the Toffees wouldn’t need him as substitute Victor Anichebe notched his first Premier League goal in the final minutes of the match against West Brom.

It was an easy game for Everton’s keeper Tim Howard, who didn’t have to make a save at all; all the shots that came from West Brom were wasted. On the other end, however, West Brom’s keeper Ben Foster had to make at least three saves for the club and unfortunately couldn’t stop the game winner.

Possession was about even during the match between both teams and West Brom had a whopping 13 shots, with none on goal. Everton managed two more shots than their opponent with four on goal.

Welcome to the New Year, footy fans! We hope you stay with Aerys Soccer during 2012 for all your EPL and soccer news!

Aston Villa displaced Chelsea, dropping the Blues into 5th place to close 2011. Today marked the last EPL match day of 2011. It included some surprising upsets which shook up the standings a bit. Four of seven results produced draws, but it was the losses that made headlines today.

Manchester United v Blackburn

Manchester United experienced a shocking loss to last place Blackburn. To add insult to injury, the loss took place on Sir Alex Ferguson’s 70th birthday, giving him little to celebrate as the year comes to a close. The result keeps the Red Devils in second place for the year behind their cross-town rivals. Manchester City pair up against Sunderland tomorrow.  Check out the in depth match report from United fan Kayla Knapp. Final score 2 – 3 at Old Trafford.

Chelsea v Aston Villa

A home crowd at Stamford Bridge watched in disbelief as Chelsea was unable to capture a win against middle of the table Aston Villa.

A Didier Drogba penalty kick gave the Blues their one and only lead of the game in the 23rd minute after a foul by Richard Dunne.  Five minutes later, Villa equalized as Stephen Ireland tapped in his own rebound to make it 1 – 1 at the half.

As the match entered the final 10 minutes, Chelsea feared they might be looking at their fourth 1 – 1 draw in a row.  Little did they know, a draw would have been a preferred result today.

In the 83rd minute, Stiliyan Petrov scored to give Villa the lead.  Only three minutes later, Darren Bent sealed the win, their first at Stamford Bridge since 2002.

The Claret and Blue have reason to celebrate their spectacular year-end result.  The three points breaks them into the top ten in a much deserved ninth place.

Chelsea has been displaced from the top four, allowing fifth place Arsenal to squeak into the number four spot thanks to their win today against QPR.

For soccer fans across the globe, the day after Christmas is really like a second Christmas, with the gift of English Premier League matches being played all day. With seven games on the schedule today, footy fans weren’t likely to leave the couch. In case you missed any of the action, here is a recap of all of the matches played today.

Fulham 1 – Chelsea 1

The day started off with an exciting match-up, as struggling Chelsea took on USMNT star Clint Dempsey and Fulham. The first half was slow and scoreless, but just two minutes into the second half, Juan Mata scored for Chelsea. Suddenly, the game had some life breathed into it, the the pace of play picked up. Not long after Mata’s goal, Fulham responded. Bryan Ruiz made a great run down the right flank, crossing the ball to a streaking Dempsey, who finished it into the back of the net to bring the score level. That was how the score would remain until the final whistle. Great result for Fulham, and Chelsea lost most ground on the two Manchester squads atop the table.

 Bolton 0 – Newcastle 2

The struggles continue for the Bolton Wanderers, as they lost yet again to Newcastle United today. Goals for Newcastle came late in the game, with the first from Hatem Ben Arfa in the 69th minute. The second was just two minutes later, from Demba Ba in the 71st minute. This was Newcastle’s first win in six matches, while Bolton’s woes continue, with only 4 Premier League wins this season.

Liverpool 1 – Blackburn 1

Bottom of the table Blackburn managed to squeeze out a result against a tough Liverpool side, with a stellar performance from goalkeeper Mark Bunn to keep them in the game. Blackburn’s goal came from the feet of Liverpool’s Charlie Adam, who accidentally put the ball in his own net off of a Blackburn corner in the 45th minute. Liverpool would get one back in the 53rd minute when Rodriguez Maxi headed the ball in, saving the day for the Reds.

Manchester United 5 – Wigan 0

Man United crushed Wigan 5-0 in a dominating performance today. The opening goal came in the 8th minute, when Patrice Evra made an excellent run into the box and crossed to J.S. Park, who put that ball in the net with a great finish from the middle of the area. The second goal didn’t come until almost halftime, when Dimitar Berbatov score in the 41st minute. It was Berbatov again in the 58th minute, putting the Red Devils up 3-0. United’s fourth goal came from Antonio Valencia, and the 5th from Berbatov yet again, completing the hat-trick.

The win pulls United level with Manchester City atop the Premier League table, with the two Manchester squads separated only by goal differential, which City leads by a whopping 10 goals.

Sunderland 1 – Everton 1

Sunderland took an early lead in this one, with a goal from Jack Colback in the 26th minute. But Sunderland was denied the victory when Everton was awarded a penalty in the 51st minute, and Leighton Baines finished it with ease. The match ended in a 1-1 draw.

West Brom 0 – Manchester City 0

One of the more surprising results of the day, West Brom managed to hold Manchester City scoreless for the first time this season, drawing 0-0. Both sides had their chances, each hitting the woodwork throughout the match, but neither able to convert those opportunities. City’s failure to pick up three points allowed United to pull level with them at the top of the league table.

Stoke 0 – Aston Villa 0

In the final match of the day, Stoke City took on Aston Villa. To be honest, it was a bit of a boring match. No goals, and not many chances for either side. You didn’t miss much here, folks.

In case you didn’t get your fix of soccer action today, there’s plenty more to come tomorrow! Three matches on the docket for Tuesday, with Arsenal taking on Wolves, QPR vs Swansea City and Tottenham facing off against Norwich. And as always, if you miss any of the action, you can find recaps here!

Transfers, transfers and you guessed it…more transfers! As the new year approaches, teams across Europe are looking to shuffle their rosters to improve for the second half of their season. Here is Wednesday’s Daily Kick Around.

La Liga

Spanish newspaper Marca, which is not always the most reliable source for football news, claim that Barca super star David Villa may be made available for a January transfer.  Manager Pep Guardiola denied the report and I can see why, given Villa has scored 32 goals in 75 appearances since his move to the club in summer 2010.

Real Madrid seem to have recovered from their defeat against Barcelona over the weekend.  On Tuesday, they beat Ponferradina 2-0 in the 4th round of the Copa del Rey.

English Premier League

Czech Republic native Tomas Rosicky may make a move to Bundesliga Club Wolfsburg in January.  The 31 year old is currently with Arsenal but has only made three appearances with the Gunners.  His manager has played down the rumors, which have been circulating since summer.

Roman Pavlyuchenko, currently of Tottenham, has failed to secure a regular role in the starting 11 for his team.  His frustration led him to seek out other opportunities, which include a possible return to his former club Spartak Moscow.  Reports indicate he has been offered to Queens Park Rangers.

The biggest rumor out this week, although probably not too surprising, is that Chelsea are looking to rid themselves of the out-of-form striker Fernando Torres.  Chelsea stole the spotty Spaniard from Liverpool last January in a whopping £50million move, yet supposedly Chelsea is set to let him go for a mere £20 million.  Ouch!

Unfortunate news for Manchester United’s Darren Fletcher, who has been diagnosed with a chronic bowel disease.  The midfielder was out from March to September, due to complications from the illness, which has no cure.  His ailment went into a brief remission and allowed the midfielder to get back into the lineup.  However, Fletcher is out once again, adding to United’s already growing list of injured players, and is aggressively seeking a way to keep the disease from affecting his ability to remain an active player.

Major League Soccer

NY Red Bulls player Tim Ream has been training with EPL clubs West Brom and Bolton since the end of the MLS season.  Both teams are showing an interest in the young starlet for a possible spring transfer.  Erik Soler, sporting director for the Red Bulls, has clearly stated that Ream is not available.

Argentine midfielder Mauro Rosales is staying with the Seattle Sounders after signing a multi-year contract with the club.

Women’s Professional Soccer

Big news today as the U.S. Soccer Federation has given a provisional approval to WPS as a first division league come 2012.  The rules require a minimum of eight teams, but they are making an exception considering WPS has only five teams.  The approval will become final once undisclosed conditions have been met.

Serie A

 Inter Milan has moved up to 7th place, mostly due to Japan international Yuto Nagatomo’s spectacular performance.  His second half goal clinched the match against Genoa, pleasing the Nerazzurri manager Claudio Ranieri.

FIFA Club World Cup

Neymar, whose growing reputation as a formidable striker continues to impress, as he helped Santos defeat Kashiwa Reysol and advance to the finals.

After a week of Champions League games that left many in the EPL shocked, this weekend’s games were a chance at a slight bit of redemption and good ol’ fashioned entertaining EPL football.

Saturday not only brought a solid game from Manchester United, but three-points to the Gunners as well.

The Bolton Wanderers tasted defeated again, this week at the hands of Aston Villa. Marc Albrighton and Stiliyan Petrov sealed the deal against the Wanderers in the first half, striking goals in the 32nd and 38th minutes. The only strike Bolton was able to pull back was in the 55th minute by Ivan Klasnic.

The win gave Aston their first victory away from home for the season, while Bolton’s 12th loss moved them to the end of the English Premier table.

Luis Suarez might be in the news again for an alleged rude gesture he made toward Fulham fans, but he made Liverpool fans happy yesterday as he scored the lone goal in the match against Queens Park Rangers. While the first half was pretty frustrating for the Reds, they came back out with a new attitude and Suarez’s goal came just two minutes into the second 45.

Manchester United weren’t the only team scoring tons of goals Saturday; Norwich City buried Newcastle United 4-2 with a brace from Grant Holt. Newcastle’s Dan Gosling was shown a red card after a dangerous tackle when he was attempting to win the ball back after losing it to Steve Morison, who would score Norwich’s third goal on a header.

Fulham lost out Saturday too to Swansea City. USMNT international Clint Dempsey missed a prime opportunity to at least give his side a goal after a missed penalty. Swansea would go on to win, 2-0.

West Brom also lost out on three points as Wigan Athletic beat them 2-1.

Today’s games provided an interesting little match between Tottenham Hotspur and Stoke City, with Stoke taking the 2-1 victory. The Potters’ started the game strong, sending out a message within the first minute that they were there to win. The throw in by Ryan Shotton was poorly cleared and Stoke capitalized on the moment, forcing Tottenham’s keeper Brad Friedel to make a hard save.

It didn’t take long for Stoke to get that first strike though; in the 13th minute, Matthew Etherington would notch his first goal of the game after a great counter attack when Tottenham’s Gareth Bale failed to score on the other end.

Tottenham was continuing to try to level up as well, but nothing could find its way into the back of the net.  Stoke played well against the pressure from the Spurs offensive attacks and their persistence paid off as Etherington grabbed his brace for the evening.

Shotton had a great long throw in, which Walters was able to play in to an unmarked Etherington. The Stoke striker was unmarked and while it wasn’t a pretty hit, it went into the back of the net and put the Potters up by two at the end of the half.

When the second 45 started, Tottenham seemed to be in a bit more control and pressing for a needed goal. It would come in the form of a penalty taken by Emmanuel Adebayor. Stoke’s Glenn Whelan fouled Luka Modric in the 62nd minute and the ref called the penalty.

After Adebayor calmly slotted the penalty into the net, he almost leveled up the game minutes later, but failed to curl the ball enough and it went just wide.

That’s when things started to get a little crazy. Thomas Sorensen made a brilliant save at one point, and took a little chip from Rafael van der Vaart in the process. It might have been a foul on van der Vaart’s part in some people’s eyes, but none was given.

The Spurs tried for another penalty after Younes Kaboul hit the ground after a challenge from Stoke’s Ryan Shawcross, but were denied. Shawcross was in the middle of another Spur claim at a penalty after Jermain Defoe went down in the box. As he was crying for a penalty, Kaboul took a shot and it was cleared away by what looked like Shawcross’ arm.

Stoke were losing their grip on the game as Tottenham continued to press hard against the back line. But the Spurs couldn’t close the deal. After a second yellow card in the 82nd minute, Kaboul was shown red and a 10-man Tottenham was beaten 2-1.

The other game today between Sunderland and Blackburn would end 2-1 as well, with Sunderland claiming the victory. David Vaughan and Sebastian Larsson would notch the two late-minute goals to come back from being down 1-0 early in the game.

QPR were denied their second home win of the season after Baggies top scorer Shane Long rescued a point for Roy Hodgson’s men Saturday.  Rangers got an unexpected goal after 20 minutes when in-form striker Heidar Helguson nodded home a goal for the R’s. But West Brom fought back to claim a point.

Albion began the brightest. James Morrison tried his luck with a low drive at goal that had Radek Cerny at full stretch, but the midfielder’s shot flashed just wide.

At the other end, Jamie Mackie saw off two challenges down the right before cutting the ball back to the edge of the area where Shaun Wright-Phillips was waiting; but his shot went just wide of the target.

QPR were on the attack once more. Alejandro Faurlin’s pass found Armand Traore on the left, whose subsequent ball into Joey Barton saw the R’s skipper fire an effort straight at keeper Ben Foster.

The R’s breakthrough finally came with 20 minutes gone. Fan favorite Mackie burst into the box and executed a teasing lob in the direction of Helguson, who made no mistake when he guided his header into the top right-hand corner.

Minutes later, Rangers thought they’d added a second. This time, Faurlin found Wright-Phillips, who danced past his marker to fire a stunning effort into the top right-hand corner of the net.

Fans celebrations were cut short after the effort was pulled back for offside, however replays proved that decision was incorrect.

The goal clearly gave the home side a lift as they were given the perfect opportunity to double their lead before the break.

Helguson’s ball into the box was deflected up into the path of an unmarked Wright-Phillips. With Foster some way of his line , he could only nod an effort wide. However minutes later the R’s missed arguably a greater chance to pull further clear of Albion.

Barton’s challenge with his marker saw the ball deflect into the path of Helguson, who put the skipper through on goal. Barton advanced toward the goal before attempting to guide the ball over an advancing Ben Foster, but his effort went agonizingly wide of the right-hand post.

After the break, Albion came out fighting and nearly got their just rewards. Gareth McAuley rose highest to meet James Morrison’s in-swinging free-kick, but his header went wide of the target.

The Baggies nearly handed Rangers their second goal on a plate as the ball bounced around the penalty area. But Wright-Phillips, Mackie and Helguson all couldn’t find the space to get a shot away.

Jay Bothroyd found Traore down the left before the full-back rounded Foster, who strayed to the edge of the box. But rather than  finishing, Traore squared to Wright-Phillips but he couldn’t capitalize on the opportunity to find an open goal.

As the half wore on both teams looked up for the challenge and play switched from end to end. West Brom levelled ten minutes later on the counter attack. Morrison’s driving run saw the Baggies midfield man skip past challenges from both Akos Buzsacky and Faurlin, before he fed Peter Odemwingie.

The Albion striker looked up before firing a low ball.  It deflected into the path Shane Long, who couldn’t miss from three yards to earn his side a point.

After the game, Rangers Manager Neil Warnock could not help but feel his side were undone by a poor refereeing decision once again. He said, “The linesman was in a great position and I can’t understand why he didn’t see it.

“We’ve missed out again because of a major decision. It was a superb volley and if it had been 2-0 I don’t think there would have been a way back for West Brom. You rely on the right decisions being made, and it makes it even more frustrating to then concede a goal – especially after creating so many chances.”

However Warnock knows the game and will pick his team up for their trip to Anfeild next week.

“It’s so disappointing it feels like we lost the game, but that’s the Premier League. I can’t fault the players really. I’ve got no complaints other than the fact we missed some chances and conceded that goal. What I said to Ale Faulin afterwards stays between me and him. But you can’t blame him – I thought him and Joey Barton were absolutely outstanding.”

English Premier League

In the Manchester City-Liverpool match yesterday, the always controversial Mario Balotelli was sent off after accumulating two yellow cards within 18 minutes of subbing on. Now, City manager Roberto Mancini is saying that Liverpool players are to blame for Balotelli’s second yellow.

Aside from the antics of Balotelli, City has also been dealing with striker Carlos Tevez, who is still somewhere in Argentina, refusing to come back to the English club. It is expected that Tevez will leave City in January during the transfer window, but some teams — like Juventus — have been saying, “No thanks” 

Midfielder Zoltan Gera’s return to West Brom has been cut short, at least for now. Gera suffered a serious knee injury during this weekend’s match against Tottenham, and will be out for the foreseeable future. Bad news for the Baggies!

Central midfielder Mikel Arteta scored the final goal from inside the box in the 73^rd minute, assisted by none other than — yep, you guessed it, Robin van Persie.

Malouda celebrates after scoring the match winning goal

Andre Villas-Boas received his first win as the new manager of the Blues as Chelsea rallied against West Brom 2-1 at home.

It was West Brom who made the first goal of the match when Shane Long cleared the ball past Hilaro. Somen Tchovi could have made it 2-nil for West Brom had the cross from Chris Brunt been more accurate.

The first half showed some poor defending on the Chelsea side, mostly from Alex, but it was in the second half where it began to catch their feet.

Ashley Cole threatened West Brom in the 41^’ when he drove the ball to the top corner, only to be deflected by Ben Foster.

Frank Lampard went down in the box laying the ball back to Anelka, who cut inside and unleashed a shot, nestled in the far corner giving the Blues that spark of life.

Lampard and Anelka were linking up well, the latter hooking over under pressure before Drogba just failed to control a great ball from Ivanovic.

Anelka wasted a great breakaway chance with 8 minutes remaining, steering the ball into the side netting from 35 yards after Foster had come racing off his line.

It didn’t matter as the match winner arrived a minute later, Bosingwa darted in between two defender and fires a perfect cross to the far post, leaving Malouda the opportunity to foot it in.
