Despite being the first team to score against them this season, Villa lost 2-1 to Chelsea yesterday. The Saturday before that Villa drew 1-1 with Tottenham, but really should have won. During midweek Villa thrashed Wycombe 8-3 in the Cup after trailing 3-1 at half-time. Villa play Middlesbrough next week.
Over the other side of the pond D.C. United have moved back to second in the East with a string of decent results. A 5-1 win against Real Salt Lake, a 2-1 win against FC Dallas and a 2-0 win against Colorado. The only blip in that string of results was a 1-0 loss away to Colorado. No game for United this weekend.
