The 212st Merseyside derby on November 29, 2009 at Goodison Park went the way of Liverpool as they overcame their local rivals 2-0. Not the greatest of performances from Liverpool, but they got the three points they required. Everton dominated the game, but could not turn it into goals.
Final full time score :- Everton 0-2 Liverpool ( Joseph Yobo 12’OG, Dirk Kuyt 80′)
Avram Grant suffers defeat in his first game as Portsmouth manager as his side are dismantled 4-1 by Manchester United at Fratton Park on November 26, 2009.
Final full time score :- Portsmouth 1-4 Manchester United ( Kevin Prince Boateng 32’/ Wayne Rooney 24′ pen, 48, 54′ pen, Ryan Giggs 87′)
The final score at White Hart Lane on November 22, 2009 would have made for sorry reading if you were a Latics fan- Tottenham 9-1 Wigan. Spurs lead 1-0 at half time, but pumped in eight more in the second half to crush Wigan. Jermain Defoe scored five goals, joining Ted Harper, Alfie Stokes and Les Allen as the only other Spurs players to have scored five in a game. It is Tottenham’s biggest ever top flight win, and needless to say, Wigan’s heaviest ever defeat in the top flight. The last time a team pumped in nine goals in the Premiership was in March 1995, when Manchester United crushed Ipswich 9-0.
