Emenike Now Fires On All Cylinders at Fener

Emmanuel Emenike grabbed one of Fenerbahce’s goals in weekend’s 3-2 win over Bursaspor.

Emenike guided home a superb header from an accurate corner-kick in the 83rd minute to increase his goal tally in the ongoing Turkish League season to four.
The 26-year-old has now scored on three consecutive match days following an early goal-barren start on his return to Istanbul.

Arsenal Proved Cynics Wrong By Winning Liverpool- Wenger

Arsene Wenger says Arsenal has rightly hit back at its critics with Saturday’s 2-0 win over Liverpool.

Goals from Santi Carzola and Aaron Ramsey helped the Gunners increase their lead to five points after Chelsea surprisingly lost 2-0 at Newcastle in the early kick-off.
“It was important to respond to convince people that we can win these big games,” said Wenger.
“To win it in a convincing way is even more important.”
Wenger’s side had lost two of their previous home matches prior to Saturday’s win. They lost 2-1 to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League and last week’s 2-0 loss to Chelsea in the League Cup.
But when the two top sides in the Premier League table clashed, Arsenal showed resilience and quality to maintain their fine start to the season.
Santi Carzola opened scoring with a fine first-half strike after his header struck the post and Aaron Ramsey scored his 10th goal of this campaign with a spectacular long-range effort on the hour.

Aaron Ramsey Scored His Tenth Goal of the Ongoing Season Against Liverpool.

The defeat puts Liverpool’s preparedness for a title challenge into perspective as Luis Suarez could only hit the post late on.
“Our defensive performance was outstanding,” Wenger added.

Enyeama Denies Falcao et al as Lille Ends Monaco’s Unbeaten Run

Super Eagles goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama inspired his French Ligue 1 side Lille Metropole to a 2-0 victory over Monaco, which brought an end to Claudio Ranieri’s men’s unbeaten run on Sunday.

Nolan Roux’s two goals at the Stade Pierre-Mouroy won the match and dealt a blow to the principality club’s hopes of battling Paris St Germain (PSG) for the championship but special recognition for Enyeama, 31, who made some absolutely crucial saves.
Sunday’s clean sheet was Enyeama seventh successive league games without conceding since Christopher Glombard of Stade de Reims scored against him on August 17.
The result sees Rene Girard’s men climb above their opponents in the table, two points behind league leaders PSG and a point ahead of the third-placed Monaco.
Roux opened scoring midway through the first-half when he poked a Marka Basa goalward header beyond the visitors’ goalkeeper Danijel Subasic, who had already committed himself in the direction of Basa’s initial leap.
Monaco were the better team throughout the second-half but Lille looked dangerous on the break and the second came from a swift counter through Solomon Kalou, who slipped in Rio Mavuba and the hosts captain unselfishly squared Roux to tap in.

Vincent Enyeama has Only Conceded Four Goals in 1080mins of Ligue 1 Football.
