Added-Time takes a look back at match-day 16 of the English Premier League season to get you caught up on all the important results, stories and moments. Cheap Jerseys USA . This week, United resiliently claims the Manchester Derby and pulls six points clear at the top of the table. Meanwhile Everton moves into the top four with a dramatic victory over Tottenham and Norwich and Swansea play a seven goal slugfest. STORIES OF THE WEEK With all of the hype and anticipation that went into the first Manchester Derby of the season, you would think there was no chance the game could live up to lofty expectations. Not only did it produce one of the most entertaining games of the year, it also left little doubt that Manchester United should be considered the favourite going forward. After surviving 15 minutes of offensive pressure from a City side that had not lost a game at Etihad Stadium in over two years, United forward Wayne Rooney slotted a ball from midfielder Ashley Young past a flatfooted Joe Hart and into the net for a 1-0 lead. Rooney would go on to double Uniteds advantage when, in the 29th minute, he collected a cross from Rafael and once again beat Hart to give his side a two goal lead they would carry into the half. The home side was fortunate not to fall behind by three goals in the second half as Young was ruled offside when he fired home a ball that forward Robin van Persie rattled off the post. Replays showed that Young might have been in line with the last defender when the ball was played. Just prior to the Young chance, City substituted striker Carlos Tevez into the game and his energy would turn the contest in their favour in the process. United keeper David De Gea would finally concede a goal when, after making saves on both Tevez and midfielder David Silva, he was not able to make a third on midfielder Yaya Toure who cut the lead in half. City would complete the comeback with four minutes left on the clock when defender Pablo Zabaleta struck the ball into the net from a Tevez corner to tie the score at two. United had one more trick left in the bag when in stoppage time, van Persie converted a free kick just outside the box, that took a deflection off City midfielder Samir Nasri and into the net to seal the victory. "It was obviously a difficult angle, but we work on that together at the training ground," said Rooney. "I had no doubt he could score from there, and thankfully hes won us the game." Despite the loss, City manager Roberto Mancini does not believe the six point deficit is insurmountable. "Even though we have lost this game we have shown we can win the title this year," said Mancini. "It is clear, we need to work hard and stop making mistakes. We cant continue to go one or two goals behind because it is difficult to recover." Following the winning marker there were ugly scenes at Etihad stadium as United defender Rio Ferdinand was bloodied after being hit with an object thrown from the stands and Hart was forced to restrain a fan that ran on the pitch. In other EPL action, It took into the 75th minute before the scoreboard was affected in Evertons home victory over Tottenham and it was the roadside that counted first. Spurs forward Clint Dempseys shot deflected off Everton defender Sylvain Distin and over keeper Tim Howards head for the opening goal. Gylfi Sigurdsson almost secured the victory for Tottenham when he fired the ball off the crossbar nine minutes later, keeping the score at 1-0. Everton would make the visitors pay, first in the 90th minute former Spur Steven Pienaar headed home a cross from teammate Seamus Coleman to level the score, then in stoppage time Nikica Jelavic hammered home a winner to secure the points for the home team. The win allows Everton to leapfrog Tottenham for fourth place due to having an equal number of points and a superior goal differential. RESULT OF THE WEEK Outside of the Manchester Derby which is both the story and result of the week, Norwich City claimed a very entertaining 4-3 victory over Swansea City in a battle of two teams that were promoted to the EPL last season. Steven Whittaker opened the scoring for the road Norwich side when he danced into the opposition box and fired home his first goal of the season to put his team ahead. Before the halftime interval, Sebastien Bassong and Grant Holt both found the back of the net to increase the lead to 3-0, silencing the home crowd. Second half, different story, first Swansea midfielder Michu pulled one back as he slotted into the net to cut the disadvantage to two, then Canadian midfielder Jonathan De Guzman scored from a failed clearance to pull the home team within a goal. Unfortunately for the hosts, Robert Snodgrass would score for Norwich to restore the two goal advantage that, despite another goal by Michu from a De Guzman cross, would be enough for them to go on for the win.

The Reds will be without Eric Hassli as they try to pull another upset against the Los Angeles Galaxy this evening (TSN, 10:30pm et/7:30pm pt). The teams have not played since Toronto upset the Galaxy 3-2 on aggregate in the CONCACAF Champions League quarter-finals in March. But Torontos chances for a repeat took a blow when Hassli was ruled out of the match at Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., because of a right ankle injury sustained late in last Saturdays 1-1 draw with the Philadelphia Union at BMO Field. It was not good news for a team that is trying for its first MLS victory since defeating the Colorado Rapids on July 18. The 31-year-old French striker had a magnetic resonance imaging procedure on Wednesday. "It didnt look very good," TFC head coach Paul Mariner said after training on Thursday afternoon before the club departed for Los Angeles. "The specialist is going to have a look at it today, hes going to have a CT scan on it, so he is obviously out for the weekend." Mariner said Hassli also was "extremely doubtful" for Tuesdays CONCACAF Champions League group stage match in El Salvador against CD Aguila on Tuesday. TFC defeated Aguila 5-1 at BMO Field on Aug. 1 and need goals after losing 3-1 to Mexicos Santos Laguna at BMO Field on Aug. 28. "Its a massive blow for us," Mariner said of Hasslis injury. "Its just one of those things, it was a bad tackle from out viewpoint and we lose one of our star players which is unfortunate for us." Mariner did not reveal his plans for replacing Hassli, but pairing Ryan Johnson and Luis Silva up front is a strong possibility. It could also mean a bigger role for forward Quincy Amarikwa, who was obtained in a trade with the New York Red Bulls on July 21. Amarikwas speed can be used to stretch opposition defences. "Quincy has come on and done extremely well," Mariner said earlier in the week. "He holds the ball up well. He runs the channels very well. We have a couple of options." It has been a difficult season for Torontos designated players with midfielder Torsten Frings (hip) and striker Danny Koevermans (knee) out with season-ending surgeries and midfielder Julian de Guzman being shipped to FC Dallas.

Buut Toronto will face a more daunting Galaxy side with Keane, Beckham and Landon Donovan likely in the fold. Cheap Jerseys. Mariner said his team should be eager to play the Galaxy. "We were saying the other day in the coaches that these are the games you want to play in a player," Mariner said. "L.A. are really playing well. David will back. Landon will definitely be playing again. Robbie will be leading the lineup. Theyve got some very good players." Forward Andrew Wiedeman said TFCs desperation for a win could trump the Galaxys star power. "Its L.A., theyve got the big names," Wiedeman said. "But I think what gives us a charge is not having won in two months. In practice this week everyones bodys definitely been amped up. Its very competitive out here and I think its showing." Toronto has six losses and three draws in MLS since defeating Colorado. "Were hungry for a win," Wiedeman said. "So I think thats probably the big thing that is going to provide the extra charge, not necessarily that were going in and playing these big names. Theyre a great team, theyre one of the best teams in the league so its kind of a measuring stick for a club. If we can go in and do well against them it would definitely be a good result. But its more than that." Regardless of their respective standings in the league, the teams have played four consecutive draws in MLS matches, three of them 0-0 and the other was 2-2 on June 11, 2011, at Carson. In the CCL the teams tied 2-2 at a sold-out Rogers Centre on March 7 and Toronto defeated the Galaxy 2-1 on March 14 to advance to the semifinals, where they were eliminated by Santos Laguna in April. Since then the teams have travelled different paths. Both started their MLS seasons slowly but the Galaxy have recovered. Toronto is last in the Eastern Conference (5-17-7) while the Galaxy (14-11-4) are third in the Western Conference on goal differential although tied at 46 points with Real Salt Lake.
