The EPL Wrap

Sunday 21/12/14

Overnight, Round 17 of the EPL commenced with 2^nd place Manchester City, 3^rd place Manchester United, 4^th place West Ham United and 5^th place Southampton involved. Sunday saw comfortable wins for Manchester City over Crystal Palace (3-0), West Ham over Leicester City (2-0) and Southampton over Everton (3-0), while Manchester United could only manage a 1-1 draw at Aston Villa, with a Falcao header cancelling out Christian Benteke’s wonderstrike.

In other EPL news, Swansea City defeated Hull City 1-0, QPR defeated West Bromwich Albion 3-2 and Tottenham returned to winning ways with a 2-1 win over Burnley.

In the Big Bash League, the veterans of Jacques Kallis and Michael Hussey (both scoring 96) helped the Sydney Thunder reach an imposing total of 1/208 after 20 overs. The Brisbane Heat could only manage 152 in their chase, handing victory to the Thunder, who have won the Wooden Spoon in all 3 previous Big Bash Leagues.
