City win again while Liverpool continue to stumble

Manchester City toiled to another victory over Blackpool as they inched closer to the summit of the English Premier League. The Citizens' 3-2 away victory at Blackpool moves them to second place, only 1 point shy of leaders Chelsea. It was a hard match but goals from Carlos Tevez and David Silva sealed the game for City while Marlon Harewood and Gary Taylor Fletcher scored for the Seasiders.

It was a tale of two halves as the home team completely controlled the pace throughout the first half but failed to find the first goal. DJ Campbell had the best chance of the half when he was put through but in a one on one situation with Joe Hart, the forward balked and missed his shot. After the interval, Blackpool continued to dominate but the introduction of David Silva changed the tempo of the match. Tevez scored not long after that and added a second just after Marlon Harewood had equalized for Blackpool. Silva scored City's third in the 85 minuted before Fletcher's late consolation.

Over at Goodison Park, Roy Hodgson tenure at Liverpool suffered a new low when his side was beaten in the Merseyside derby. The 2-0 loss to Everton condemned Liverpool to second from bottom, having only taken 2 points from a possible 15. Goals in each half by Tim Cahill and Mikael Arteta settled this leg of the Merseyside derby.

It was a thoroughly deserved victory for Everton as they showed more passion and determination to win the game. Liverpool's stars like Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Fernando Torres worked their socks off but was largely let down by uninspiring performances from Joe Cole, Maxi Rodriguez and Raul Meirelles. In the stands were the new owners of Liverpool who must be wondering if they have made the right decision in purchasing the club.
