European club soccer resumed this weekend. There were some interesting scores that came out of England and the FA Premier League.
In Manchester, the cash-reinforced squad of Manchester City managed to blow by Arsenal by a score of 4-2. Netting the decisive goal for City was ex-Arsenal forward Emmanuel Adebayor. Adebayor's departure from the London squad this summer was a bitter affair and he has publicly stated how overjoyed he was to leave the team. In his goal scoring celebration today, the Togolese forward blatantly taunted Arsenal fans while doing his best to show Arsenal just how much they are missing without him.
At White Hart Lane in London, defending champions Manchester United defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3-1. The Red Devils were down to ten men after Paul Scholes' dismissal in the second half.
A stoppage-time goal from Florent Malouda gave Chelsea a 2-1 win at Stoke City.
At Anfield, Liverpool ran riot against newly-promoted Burnley winning 4-0.
What stood out today was just how tough Manchester City looked against top-four rivals Arsenal. This could be the year City becomes one of the top teams with all their new arrivals. If Arsene Wenger and Arsenal are going to hang onto a Champions League spot this year, they will need to get better in a hurry.
