Boxing day matches have the reputation of always pulling an upset out of the bag .So much so that "upset" has become a byword of these boxing day matches.Yes! there were upsets yesterday. But we have also to bear in mind that, in the context of the EPL one can define upset only after some careful perusal.Such is the competitiveness of the teams in the league. Okay, coming to the point, this years boxing day matches did provide us with loads of entertainment and excitement.
Stamford Bridge hosted a thriller featuring Villa and Chelsea which had 8 goals and three red cards in 'em. Then White Hart Lane hosted a beleaguered Fulham in a match which ended in a 5-1 win for the hosts. Roy Keane got a sound drubbing from his ex-manager at the Stadium of Light, while Arsenal lost points at Fratton park.All in all, it was a very satisfying Boxing day for me.Not the least because Man Utd now are at the league's summit a point clear of the league-leaders-so -far Arsenal.
But for the Man Utd fans it is too early to celebrate. Given that the tough trips to North East and London(The Bridge and White Hart Lane) are ahead of them, it is important that they do not get carried away by yesterdays results. Hoping it is all for the good.
