Totally against the run of play.

Just as the Premier League wallowed into another month of surprises, everyone's predictions were swiftly buried in the snow. Manchester City's ability to turn logic on its head acquired legendary status with another opportunity frittered away. Everton's fourth successive victory away at Eastlands ensured Roberto Mancini's chin kept wobbling more furiously than a turkey's on Christmas Eve. If City can take one positive from last evening, it was Carlos Tevez's sudden reversal of his transfer request decision. However, it's anyone's guess if he'll stay at Eastlands beyond the summer.

Manchester United now seem in pole position to cement their spot at no. 1 with two games in hand and a squad injected with a new sense of belief. It remains to be seen if Chelsea on the other hand have turned over the tide and can get back to winning ways. There is little evidence to suggest Arsenal can still mount a serious challenge. They give a good account of themselves every time they step out on the pitch. Sadly, it doesn't always last the duration of 90 minutes. And the results are always against the run of play. Just like the Premier League falling foul of the adverse weather.
