September 30 - On Monday, leading English Premier League team,
Manchester City, who were no doubt still smarting from their 4-3 defeat at
the hands of their biggest rivals, Manchester United, the week before, took on
West Ham United at home and trounced them by 3-1, to the delight of their
betting fans.

What made the victory even sweeter for Manchester City fans was the fact that
two of their team's three goals were scored by talented Argentinean-born striker
Carlos Tevez, who previously played for West Ham. The skilful player scored
against his old team in the 5th and 61st minute, to a roar from the stadium.
Tevez's two goals sandwiched that of Bulgarian-born wing Martin Petrov, who's
superb strike found its mark at the back of the West Ham net, putting Manchester
City up by 2-1. West Ham's goal came from Carlton Cole, which sent shockwaves
through the stadium given the difference in skill between the two teams.
But score West Ham did, and once Tevez had secured his second goal, a feeling
pulsed through the ground that the game was over for the visitors. When Tevez
was signed by Man City, he was welcomed to the city with the now infamous
billboard depicting him accompanied by the words 'Welcome to Manchester'.
The irony that Manchester City's victory on Monday was mainly due to the
Argentinean would not have been lost on West Ham, because when he played for
them, he saved them from being relegated one year. Currently third from the
bottom of the league, West Ham may have a similar battle on their hands this
season.
On Sunday Sunderland took on the Wolverhampton Wanderers and dished out a
crushing 5-2 defeat at the Stadium of Light. While both teams seemed evenly
matched early on, it was Sunderland who struck first when striker, Darren Bent,
scored off a penalty awarded to him after being fouled by Segundo Castillo.
From that point onwards the game was pretty staid and seemed as though neither
team could make any headway against the other. But in what was arguably not the
most exciting of English Premier League matches, Sunderland eventually came out
on top, ranking them at 8 in the Premier League and the Wolves at 16.
