While fellow Yank Clint Dempsey keeps scoring goals (or at least inducing own goals) Landon Donovan is setting them up in a big way for Everton, and this play demonstrated some quality teamwork—from Phil Neville's challenge to Denis Stracqualursi's finish. [Fox Soccer] More »

Don't let this video frame fool you: Clint Dempsey is focused. The Fulham star continues to make his case for being the best American ever to play in the English Premier League, and this strike to put his squad up 2-0 on Stoke City was lethal. It's his 11th goal of the season. Sure, it may have technically been an own goal, but the ball was all Dempsey's. [Fox Soccer] More »

Liverpool striker Luis Suárez, who returned this week from an eight-game suspension for racial abuse, showed he was a changed man when meeting Patrice Evra before today's Manchester United-Liverpool match. Ha-ha, no, he refused to shake the hand of the player against whom he allegedly abused in the racial manner, forcing Evra to grab his arm in what definitely does not qualify as a handshake.

Five minutes after we published this paean to Landon Donovan's performance thus far in the Premiership, Clint Dempsey responded with a strike that broke the gridlock and gave Fulham a 1-0 edge on West Bromwich Albion. It's Dempsey's seventh goal in the last three matches at Fulham's home Craven Cottage. [Fox Soccer] More »

It's been another mediocre season for Aston Villa, and no play may characterize the struggles of the claret and blue squad than this play, in which Stephen Warnock cleanly lands a header directly into his own net. Villa landed a goal of their own late in the first half to cut QPR's advantage to 2-1, but Warnock's liable to feel the pain of this mistake for awhile. [Fox Soccer] More »

Fox is understandably proud of their experiment this morning to show English Premier League soccer live on U.S. broadcast TV for the first time. Yet it seems Fox affiliates aren't so excited, as 23 of Fox's 185 stations decided to air something else. Here's the list of cities where you can't see Arsenal take on Manchester United, and what they're showing instead. More »

Our own Luke O'Brien predicted in August a big season for American midfielder Clint Dempsey as he started his sixth season playing for Fulham in the EPL, and the past two weeks have borne that prediction in a big way. Dempsey followed his FA Cup hat trick two weeks ago with another today against Newcastle, the first-ever by an American playing in the Premiership. More »

Call it a fairytale, call it destiny, don't call it offside (which he was, most definitely) but Thierry Henry scoring for Arsenal—where he scored a club-record 226 goals between 1999 and 2007—is a story from the pages of British pulp fiction. That he scored the deciding goal in the Gunners' FA Cup match against Leeds makes the story that much more unbelievable. But there it is, above, proof that the French forward (on a two-month loan from MLS club New York Red Bulls) still has a bit left in him to compete in the Premiership. [Fox Soccer] More »

I suppose it's possible this Sunderland fan celebrating Nicklas Bendtner's opening goal over QPR at Loftus Road has a service animal of some sort, but I'm pretty sure seeing-eye dogs aren't meant to be tossed around like this poor pup. Sunderland won in a 3-2 heartbreaker. [BBC] More »

It's bright and early on Saturday morning and that means the Deadspin Pub is open for business, because even when times are tough people need a place to obsess over European soccer. Now you may not be able to headbutt a Gunner or crack a Magpie upside the head with a bottle of Newcastle, but you are more than welcome to come on in, grab your first beer of the day, and keep up with the fun in the comment section.

Neither Chelsea nor Manchester were entirely fit, but the sides put on another exciting match at Stamford Bridge. Ji-Sung Park put the Red Devils on the board 18 minutes into the game when Petr Cech was unable to hold on to Dimitar Berbatov's shot and for a while it looked like that could somehow be enough. Fortunately for the home side substitute Salomon Kalou was left unmarked on a corner kick with time running low in the second half, and the Ivorian headed the ball into the corner of the net to lock up the draw.

We've had to wait since May's epic Champions League Final but the time has finally come for the Blues of Chelsea to take on the Red Devils of Manchester United. Holy crap, I'm all tingly. Obviously I'm a bit of a homer for Chelsea, which is why I won't be live blogging the contest. That and I'll be too busy getting drunk.

Who needs some fancy sponsor when you've got a new manager in Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola? Not the Hammers apparently, because they came out and feasted on the Magpies with nothing adorning their shirts but a crest and a number. West Ham picked up their third consecutive win at Upton Park behind a pair of goals from Zola's countryman David Di Michele who is on loan from Torino. More »

Big Phil Scolari's first Premier League match at the helm of Chelsea was pretty much perfect. The Blues began their campaign to reclaim the the league title with a 4-0 thrashing of Portsmouth at Stamford Bridge. Harry Redknapp's side was under constant pressure from Chelsea's reworked midfield, and the Pompey back line was breached with regularity. Joe Cole was the first to do such 12 minutes into the match. His run perfectly coincided with a slick touch from Michael Ballack, and Cole had little trouble getting it past David James. More »

The English Premier League's new season is officially underway, and newcomer Samir Nasri has already made his mark with Arsenal. The dynamic young Frenchman scored the Gunners lone goal in this morning's (lunchtime over there) first match against newly promoted West Bromwich Albion. Arsenal dominated the first half of play, and probably should have put at least one more goal up on the board, but Emanuel Adebayor was left wanting. Aside from their lack of a goal the visitors from West Brom acquitted themselves quite well in the second half. More »
