Tuncay and Boro Team end Arsenal's unbeaten run!

Middlesbrough inflicted Premier League Arsenal's first league defeat of the season with a 2-1 win at the Riverside on Sunday.

Defeat left Arsenal just a point ahead of second-placed Manchester United.

Stewart Downing, with a fourth-minute penalty, and Tuncay Sanli, with a close-range strike 16 minutes from time, scored for Boro.

Tomas Rosicky pulled a goal back for Arsenal in the fifth minute of stoppage time but there was barely time left for the ensuing kick-off before the final whistle blew.

The result meant Boro, who started Sunday in the relegation zone, had won only their third league game of the season.

WATCH FENERBAHCE V GALATASARAY DERBY HIGHLIGHTS

FENERBAHCE 1- GALATASARAY 0 (GOAL BY SEMIH SENTURK )



FENERBAHCE 2 GALATASARAY 0(GOAL BY BRAZILIAN DEIVID )AND BRAZILIAN DANCE SHOW BY ROBERTO CARLOS, DEIVID AND WEDERSON!.....

THE DERBY BELONGS TO FENERBAHCE!....2-0

What I thought, and wrote before the match, it happened..well, we have to wait until Sunday to see if Sivaspor could claim the top spot again from Galatasaray.

Galatasaray not only lost to Fenerbahace, they might lose the top spot if Sivaspsor wins at home tomorrow against Denizlispor.

Galatasaray team was unbeatable for 14 weeks in the Turkcell Super League...That was a a huge run by Gala and German Coach Mr Feldkamp. No one in the Turkish media gives him credit for that.

Forget about the credit, the Guy(Erman Toroglu), who has a stick in his hand every week at the "Maraton" program on LiGTV, has a balls to ask him a question in a nasty and absurd way, why he does not play the veteran players on the bench!.... Any way, I don't want to take away any thing from Fenerbahce's gusty win over Galatasaray.

As I said it before, Fenerbahce won it with experience players... Galatasaray, was without Lincoln, Lindreroth, Ayhan and Hasan Sas. I think that was the difference...

Galatasaray had no midfield and early goal scored by Fenerbahce didn't help things , in my opinion.

They were shock and Fenerbahce with the fantastic fan base in Sukru Sracoglu Stadium total winner as a team on a Saturday night in Istanbul. They put on a great show and soccer !.....

They must learned from nasty mistakes from last season....This is the way every stadium in Turkey should be.... Full and every fan enjoying them self!....

Although he and his defense made a huge mistake on the first goal, Galatasaray keeper Orkun played a hell of game...the score instead two zip, it could well be five zip, if Orkun did not make those important saves. My player of the match was Roberto Carlos he ran like a young man out there...

Fenerbahce keeper Volakn made key saves too....he looks like, got his confidence..that is good for Turkish National Team an for Fenerbahce,,,,if that, does not go to his big head!....

I don't know about you guys but I noticed, one thing after the match, both team coaches talked to the LIGTV reporters both of them looked calm and cool.... Our Turkish coaches , I hope learned from them last night.....No one complain about the referee or critiqued the own players...that's the way it should be..

Lastly, we have to teach a TV journalism to those guys who keeps people in front of the TV screens for hours!....Like that guy, with a stick in his hand , making bold and absurd comments..
