Defending Premier League Champions, Manchester United, were shockingly defeated by Wigan Athletic, 1-0, on Wednesday.
Nobody expected United to drop the three points to Wigan. The loss, coupled with a Manchester City win, has tightened up the Barclays Premier League title race.
United (79 points) now lead City (74 points) by only 5 points, with the bitter rivals set to meet later this month.
In other soccer news, American Clint Dempsey continues to tear up the Barclays Premier League for Fulham. Dempsey is 4th in the Premier League in scoring with 16 goals. With Dempsey playing as well as he is, there is much speculation that he will be leaving Fulham this summer. Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City are all said to be interested in Dempsey's services.
If Dempsey were to leave Fulham for one of the bigger clubs in English soccer, this will definitely be a boost for Dempsey and American soccer.
