Colorado Rapids 4 LA Galaxy 0
David Beckham’s much ballyhooed trip to Colorado was spoiled by a gritty host side as the Colorado Rapids thumped the Los Angeles Galaxy 4-0 in the 2008 MLS season opener for both clubs at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Beckham missed last year’s Galaxy trip to Commerce City but played all 90 minutes on Saturday. The [...]
Chelsea 1-0 Middlesbrough
A rare Ricardo Carvalho goal was enough for Chelsea as they hung on to beat Middlesbrough at Stamford Bridge. The defender headed home Wayne Bridge’s free-kick inside six minutes.

Taylor’s deflected drive doubled the lead before William Gallas volleyed [...]
Sunderland 2-1 West Ham
A late goal from Andy Reid saw Sunderland pull further clear of the drop zone with victory over West Ham.

But the goal fired up the home side and Kenwyne Jones soon equalised, slotting in Daryl Murphy’s flick-on. Sunderland kept the [...]
Derby 2-2 Fulham
