Premier League Betting: Arsenal and Liverpool lose ground

Premier League / Jamie "The Pacman" Pacheco / 21 November 2009 / Leave a Comment

Darren Bent scored yet another big goal against a big team and his solitary effort was enough to dispose of an Arsenal side missing the injured Robin Van Persie.

"But Manchester City did what they have been doing all season and failed to hang on to a lead after that Stephen Ireland goal. The draw was backed at a high of 7.0 and the 2-2 correct score at a high of 75."

All the in-running prices from another fantasic afternoon of Premier League football....

It was a game made for in-play traders as Manchester City visited Liverpool this afternoon with all three outcomes trading at odds-on. Liverpool were backed at [1.23] after going a goal up early in the second half and Manchester City traded at [1.35] when they themselves took a shock lead with just 15 minutes to go. But Manchester City did what they have been doing all season and failed to hang on to a lead after that Stephen Ireland goal. The draw was backed at a high of [7.0] and the 2-2 correct score at a high of [75.0].

At the Stadium of Light Arsenal lost ground on league leaders Chelsea after Sunderland were backed at a high of [10.5] to beat the Gunners. It was the familiar name of Darren Bent who appeared on the score sheet in a 1-0 win. That result has caused Arsenal to drift to [7.0] to win the Premier League with Chelsea now just [1.83] after thrashing Wolves 4-0 and Manchester United [3.7] after doing a demolition job of their own over Everton with 3-0 the final scoreline.

There was plenty of drama as Hull City hosted West Ham in a match that had a penalty, a sending-off and six goals. Hull were matched at odds of 110 to be leading at half-time after going a goal down with the final 3-3 score line also matched at the exact same price.

Elsewhere Birmingham touched [2.66] before beating Fulham by a solitary goal and Villa scored a late goal to salvage a draw at Burnley with the stalemate touching [7.0].
