Game 64 - Week 9

Deadlock in the big game of the day in the Premier League, Niall Cunningham's Chelsea held 0-0 by John Ferrier's Celtic at Stamford Bridge.  That result means Chelsea are knocked off the top of the table, Wolves taking over at the top.  Rich Coupland's side beat Man City 3-2 this week to move a point ahead of Chelsea, three clear of Ethan Bailey's Arsenal who beat Rangers 2-0 at the Emirates.  Celtic drop to fourth, Bournemouth are up to fifth after a 4-1 win at Man United whilst Derby are back in the top half of the table thanks to a 2-0 home win over Everton.

Scarborough's march to promotion continues as they record their ninth win in a row, two goals from Richards, one from Diego Ribas as Craig Rathey's outfit ease past Burnley 3-0.  West Ham stay second after Rafinha's early goal was just about enough for Kirk Greenway's side in the battle with Chris Burton's Sheffield Wednesday.  The Owls are now five points behind the Hammers in the race for the second automatic promotion spot, with Sam Roberts' Doncaster between the two after they won 2-0 at Wigan.

Still at tie at the top of Serie A, but now only two teams level after Lazio beat Real and PSV dropped two points at home to James West's AC Milan.  In this fiercely competitive league, relegation is going to be just as close as the battle for the title.  PSV thought they had the game won when Tah fired them in front 14 minutes from time, but Insigne levelled for the Italians just before the end.  Milan are now joint bottom of the table though, because Joe Spencer's Atletico won 2-1 at home to Mark Wheat's Juventus to move onto 8 points, level with AC and just two behind Juventus.  Back to the top, Lazio and Basle both won and are out front on their own, Glen Pine's Basle beating Bazz Wetton's Antwerp 4-2.  Two of last weeks top two faced each other, Rich Coupland's Lazio recording a 1-0 home win over James Teager's Real Madrid, Danilo with the only goal of the game.  Gerard O'Brien's Bayern comfortably beat David Burton's Mini Mars 3-0, Suarez, Schweinsteiger and Aguero all scoring, to move fourth, ahead of Benfica on goal difference now after Louis King's side won 2-1 at home to PSG.

Serie B has new leaders, Jamie Maycroft's Dnipro winning a thriller against Patrick Lyons' NY Red Bull.  Red Bull were 2-1 up at half time but an impressive 20 minute hat-trick from Sako at the start of the second half saw Dnipro take the match 4-3.  They go a point clear of both New York and Hayden Dando's Roma who won 2-0 at home to Leverkusen.
