So your Weekend Yank MVP is.....Landon Donovan.  Though he didn't make the score sheet, he helped set up a goal and since he has been at Goodison Park Everton have drawn Arsenal at home, and beat Chelsea and Manchester United in consecutive weeks.  If theres one good thing that will come out of the MLS CBA situation it could be that extends Landon's stay in England.  I know the Toffee's want him too.
