‘Big Four' fail to score in EPL
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 23 - 11 - 2008

Arsenal crashed to a 3-0 defeat at Manchester City, deepening the crisis enveloping the club after captain William Gallas was dropped for revealing infighting and criticizing the squad's lack of determination.
The Gunners' fifth defeat of the Premier League season - and second in a row - derails their fading title ambitions, with Aston Villa taking fourth spot by holding third-place Manchester to a 0-0 draw. Pacesetters Chelsea and Liverpool also both drew 0-0, on a day none of the “Big Four” clubs could score.
Stephen Ireland put Man. City ahead on the stroke of halftime. Gael Clichy and Mikael Silvestre collided as City striker Benjani Mwaruwari released Ireland to clip the ball over Manuel Almunia, Arsenal's captain for the afternoon.
Arsenal fell further behind in the 56th minute when Brazil forward Robinho lobbed Almunia to claim his ninth goal since joining in September. Daniel Sturridge compounded a miserable afternoon for Wenger in the 90th minute by converting from the penalty spot after the 19-year-old striker had been fouled by Johan Djourou. The defeat leaves Arsenal 10 points behind Chelsea and Liverpool.
Hull came from behind twice to draw 2-2 at Portsmouth, Bolton won 3-1 at Middlesbrough, and Stoke edged last-place West Bromwich Albion 1-0.
Inter defeats Juventus
In Milan, Sulley Muntari scored a second-half goal Saturday to give Inter Milan a 1-0 win over Juventus to stay top of the Serie A. Muntari tapped in a pass from Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the 72nd minute for his first goal of the year.
Ibrahimovic had failed to convert Inter's two best chances before the goal, shooting just wide in the 33rd and again in the 65th after bringing the ball down with his chest for a clear look at goal. Inter has 30 points, four more than AC Milan, which plays at Turin on Sunday. Juventus has 24 points. Napoli is fourth with 23.
In Florence, Fiorentina scored four second-half goals to come from behind to defeat Udinese 4
