Spanish striker Fernando Torres of Liverpool scored not one but two goals against Chelsea to win today's game. Torres scored in the 11th and 44th minute of the game.
Chelsea came alive in the second half with Didier Drogba brought in but Liverpool's defending proved superior.
Chelsea who did not have Frank Lampard and Michael Essien will have to do better in their next matches against Fulham and then Sunderland if they are to improve their lead in the Table.

Brazilian Grand Prix - Sebastian Vettel wins
Sebastian Vettel won the Brazilian Grand Prix followed by Mark Webber. Red Bull won the constructors championship for the first time.
Ferrari's Fernando Alonso came third place and retains the championship.
Vettel led the race after taking the lead from pole position driver Nico Hulkenberg. Webber went past Hulkenberg later maintaining the position a few close few seconds behind Vettel.
This means that the final in Abu Dhabi next weekend will be fought out between Fernando Alonso,Mark Webber,Sebastian Vettel and Louis Hamilton. Should be an exciting one.

Formula 1 - Machine gun - Jenson Button
It was unfortunate that Jenson Button was nearly caught up in a carjacking on Saturday evening as he made his way back from he circuit.
His undercover police driver did a great job of outwitting the armed men of which at least one had a machine gun.
Button said it was a a random attack. It more likely was. A former colleague of mine who is originally from Brazil said this happens all the time and is mostly random. The combination of poverty and drugs does not help the security siuation especially in big cities like Sao Paulo. I am sure that Jenson Button is very grateful to his undercover police driver. Hopefully this incident does not play on Jenson's mind as he takes to the Brazilian Grand Prix.

Bolton Wanderers versus Spurs - Premier League
Following Spurs winning the Champions League against Internazionale by 3-1, I was expecting Spurs would be quite formidable in their game against Bolton Wanderers today at the the Reebok Stadium.
Kevin Davies of Bolton opened the scoring. Gretar Steinsson added the second and Kevin Davies scored a third. Spurs nearly made a return with Alan Hutton and a volley from Roman Pavlyuchenko.
The Bolton substitute Petrov finished off any chances of Spurs achieving a draw and the home crowd were delighted with a 4-2 win.

Lee Westwood and Francesco Molinari close
Francesco Molinari has a slender lead over Lee Westwood world number one as we go into the weekend HSBC golf Champions. Molinari started with two birdies in his first four holes. Westwood is one shot behind leader Francesco Molinari. Tiger Woods is five off the lead.
Many of the holes are along the existing canal, 50 metre quarry and around man made lakes. Two holes which require good shots are the 16 and 17 play around and over the quarry.

A good start for England against Western Australia
Stuart Broad of England took 3 wickets before lunch for a total of 19 wickets. Although Western Australia declared at 242 for eight, the England bowlers were pleased with their performance.
With Australia's national side also not doing very well against Sri Lanka, England will be a strong challenge for Australia.

WBA World Heavyweight boxing - David Haye versus Audley Harrison
David Haye who has had a very good run of boxing fixtures so far is up against a strong opponent to fight this time - Audley Harrison. There were rumours that David Haye got knocked down during sparring. Haye has denied that and said that the rumours were from the other camp.
The fight should be interesting Saturday week in Manchester.

Lee Westwood - World No.1 in the Golf rankings
Lee Westwood who has become the World No 1 Golf ranking at the weekend will have a challenge to maintain his position. He ended the reign of Tiger Woods for that position but has three equally good rivals - Phil Mickleson, Tiger Woods and Martin Kaymer.
A tough week for Westwood at the HSBC Champions in Shanghai because of his injury problems. Let us hope he overcomes that.

England versus Western Australia
Graham Strauss the England cricket skipper has said that England will be in Test mode in the three day match before the first Test. It is a good attitude to have as Australia always field good quality players.
England cannot afford to take a light approach if they are to have a winning momentum

Chelsea and Spartak Moscow - a great game
Chelsea played a really good game against Spartak Moscow at Stamford Bridge by beating them 4-1 in the UEFA Champions League.
Nicolas Anelka was the star with a tremendous second-half by the Chelsea team. Their fourth successive win of the competition. Drobga's shot from the penalty spot was great to watch too.
