Match of the Day 2 (2004) : 7x26

Colin Murray presents highlights from today's two Barclays Premier League matches, as well as all the goals and talking points from yesterday's eight games. Today's fixtures include Liverpool's visit to the Stadium of Light, where they suffered a controversial 1-0 defeat to Sunderland last season when Darren Bent's winner found the net after deflecting off a beach ball thrown onto the pitch by a Reds fan. Also in action today were Chelsea, who hosted Manchester City at Stamford Bridge. City have a good recent record against the Blues, winning the last three meetings, with their talisman Carlos Tevez finding the net in all three games. The Argentine scored twice in this fixture last season, when City came from behind to win 4-2 in a lively encounter, which Chelsea ended with nine men after both Juliano Belletti and Michael Ballack were sent off.
