There were two big Barclays Premier League matches played last
night.

Manchester United 0-3 Liverpool (Gerrard 34'pen, 46'pen, Suarez
84')

This is Liverpool's first win at Old Trafford since March 2009.
There were three penalties awarded to Liverpool in the game and a
red card to Vidic for two bookable offences. Steven Gerrard took
all three penalties and scored two of them, while Luis Suarez added
in a third for the visitors. This is Man Utd's heaviest home defeat
under David Moyes this season, and this will decrease their chances
of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League next season.

Tottenham 0-1 Arsenal (Rosicky 2')

This is Arsenal's first win at White Hart Lane since 2007.
Arsenal went ahead after only 72 seconds through Tomas Rosicky.
Tottenham had more attempts (17) compared to Arsenal (7). They also
had more possession (59%) and completed more passes (471) than
Arsenal (330). However, these stats proved nothing for Tottenham as
they crashed to a second consecutive defeat in the league and
failing to score in both matches.

In conclusion, both matches had a total of four goals scored,
and all four of them were scored by away teams.
