LONDON: Arsenal ended the perfect start of Sven-Goran Eriksson as Manchester City manager on Saturday with a 1-0 win, while Chelsea also won 1-0 against Portsmouth to go top of the Premier League. Cesc Fabregas scored in the 80th minute for the Gunners, who earlier had a penalty saved by Man City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel. Arsenal’s win ended the perfect start to the Man City career of former England coach Eriksson. City also lost top spot to Chelsea, with Frank Lampard’s goal giving the Blues 10 points. City is second with nine points.
Frank Lampard gave Chelsea the lead in the 31st minute. After collecting a flick-on from Didier Drogba, Lampard ran clear and struck the ball under Portsmouth goalkeeper David James.
Liverpool defeated Sunderland 2-0 with debut Premier League goals from Mohamed Sissoko and Andriy Voronin. Sissoko scored in the 37th minute with a powerful shot into the corner of the goal. Voronin, who joined Liverpool in the offseason, added a second in the 87th minute in another well-worked move.
The results: Arsenal 1 (Cesc Fabregas) bt Manchester City 0; Chelsea 1 (Frank Lampard) bt Portsmouth 0; Aston Villa 2 (Ashley Young, Shaun Molony) bt Fulham 1 (Clint Dempsey); Bolton Wanderers 3 (Gary Speed, Nicolas Anelka, Daniel Braa ten) bt Reading 0; Derby County 1 (Matt Oakley) lost to Birmingham City 2 (Cameron Jerome-2); West Ham 1 (Lee Bowyer) drew with Wigan Athletic 1 (Paul Scharner); Sunderland 0 lost to Liverpool 2 (Mohamed Sissoko, Andriy Voronin). — Agencies
