And the change happens

So this weekend in the English Premier League was just one filled with so much drama , the kind that makes viewers all around the world love the EPL starting with the Leaders Arsenal losing heavily at Anfield 5 goals to 1; you would think they were in love with 'S names" cause Skrtel, Sterling and Sturridge all found the back of the net. Arteta's lone goal from the spot in the 69th minute being the only consolation for Arsenal.

Then the brilliant display from Eden Hazard gave Chelsea the much needed boost as they over came Newcastle at Stamford bridge 3-0. Now it seems the Little Horse is eating the much needed nutrients and is gradually becoming a Big horse. 

The Special one's comment on Hazard's performance was  'His performance today was no different to the way he's performed in other games, the only difference was that he scored a hat-trick for the first time. It was a very similar performance to the ones he had at Hull, Man City, at home against United and Liverpool, at Southampton. He's playing the same way. He's playing really well, he's had a big evolution, he has consistency, ambition and it's fantastic.'

Now to top it up, Man City did not take the opportunity of Arsenal's slip to go top of the League, but rather were held to  goalless draw by Norwich City. While on the red side of Manchester, they came back from a goal down to score 2 goals in 90 seconds courtesy RVP and Carrick; but Darren Bent cut short their joy in the dying seconds of the added 5 minutes as he slotted in a goal via a header. Thus Man U are still in 7th position after 25 games.
