Premier League MatchDay
27 saw no change at the top as all the top four teams won their games. Tottenham
seem to be stuck in the Europa League spot with a loss at Norwich and Man Utd,
despite a win at Crystal Palace, are left 11 points behind Liverpool in the last
Champions League place. West Ham, Newcastle and Norwich all registered valuable
wins while Fulham picked up a point at equally troubled West Brom and Cardiff were
crushed by Hull to put the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer under pressure

John Terry grabbed a stoppage-time winner as
Chelsea beat
Everton to retain their advantage at the top of the Premier League. Blues captain Terry slid in with goalkeeper Tim Howard to meet Frank Lampard's inswinging free-kick, denying Everton a fully deserved point against their lacklustre hosts.
Olivier Giroud marked his return to action with two goals as
Arsenal swept aside lowly
Sunderland to stay a point behind Premier League leaders Chelsea. He stroked home an early opener after a deflected Jack Wilshere shot fell to him, and capitalised on a poor Santiago Vergini back-pass for his second. Tomas Rosicky finished a neat move and Laurent Koscielny headed a fourth.
Hull took a big step towards Premier League safety by thrashing
Cardiff to leave their hosts deep in trouble. Tom Huddlestone's deflected shot and Nikica Jelavic's low finish inside the box gave the Tigers a 2-0 half-time lead, despite Cardiff enjoying the greater possession.
Jelavic headed his second from Liam Rosenior's cross, with Jake Livermore's powerful shot capping a fine win. Steve Bruce's side move up to 11th, eight points clear of Cardiff in 19th.

Manchester City kept up the pressure on title rivals Chelsea as they beat
Stoke to stay three points behind the Premier League leaders. The hosts had struggled to break down their stubborn opponents and almost went behind . The hosts knew the importance of a victory over Stoke, having seen title rivals Chelsea beat Everton in the early kick-off, yet lacked the urgency they might have been expected to show until Toure's effort.
Matej Vydra's 86th-minute equaliser denied Felix Magath a winning start as
Fulham manager as fellow strugglers
West Brom fought back to earn a deserved late point. Ashkan Dejagah's first-half goal had looked set to lift the Cottagers off the bottom of the Premier League table with victory in a game Magath had described as "the most important in the club's history".
In-form
West Ham earned their fourth consecutive league victory after coming from behind to defeat
Southampton. Maya Yoshida headed Southampton in front from Steven Davis's free-kick but Matt Jarvis levelled after tapping past Artur Boruc. Three minutes later, Carlton Cole made it 2-1 for West Ham before Rickie Lambert hit a post for Saints. Kevin Nolan made the game safe with a volley from close range and Mohamed Diame also hit the bar late on.
Manchester United ended a three-match Premier League winless run as goals from Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney condemned
Crystal Palace to defeat. Van Persie slotted home his fourth goal in five games from the penalty spot after Patrice Evra was fouled by Palace striker Marouane Chamakh. And Rooney doubled the lead with a shot into the top corner from 12 yards.

Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge scored twice as
Liverpool beat
Swansea in a thriller to tighten their grip on fourth place in the Premier League. Sturridge's opener came two minutes in and Henderson soon bent in a second. But Jonjo Shelvey pulled one back with a fine 20-yard shot and Wilfried Bony headed in off Martin Skrtel to level. Sturridge headed in his second from Luis Suarez's cross but Bony pulled Swansea level from the penalty spot before Henderson stabbed in the winner.
Loic Remy scored a stoppage-time winner as
Newcastle ended a run of four successive home league defeats by beating
Aston Villa at St James' Park. Remy atoned for an earlier miss when he latched on to De Jong's deflected shot, cut inside Ron Vlaar and fired into the net.
Robert Snodgrass scored the only goal as
Norwich moved away from the relegation zone and dented
Tottenham's top-four hopes. Scotland winger Snodgrass curled his low shot from 18 yards beyond Hugo Lloris after Bradley Johnson's pass. Goalkeeper John Ruddy helped Norwich to victory, denying Emmaunel Adebayor and Nacer Chadli in the second half.

Returning captain John Terry bundled in a stoppage-time goal as Chelsea beat Everton 1-0 to consolidate their lead at the top of the Premier League.
It appeared two points would be dropped by Jose Mourinho's men as an entertaining contest remained goalless until Phil Jagielka was adjudged to have fouled Ramires in the left channel.
Frank Lampard's inswinging free-kick was glanced down by Branislav Ivanovic and Terry slid in to score past Tim Howard.
It was a timely intervention from Terry, who returned following a three-game absence with a gluteal muscle problem. Chelsea had won once in his absence, but they now travel to Galatasaray for the Champions League last-16 first leg with Didier Drogba's side on Wednesday after a morale-boosting victory.

15:00 Arsenal (3) 4 Sunderland (0) 1 |
Arsenal stayed within a point of Chelsea with a comfortable 4-1 win over Sunderland at the Emirates with the recalled Olivier Giroud their match-winner.
The opening goal came just five minutes in, and it was a wonderful flowing move which saw Jack Wilshere flick the ball into the path of Giroud to stroke home.
The second came on the half-hour and was a defensive howler from Santiago Vergini as his pass back was straight to Giroud, who dispatched it past former Gunners keeper Vito Mannone.
Giroud then turned provider for third which arrived before the break as he played a lovely one-two with Tomas Rosicky, who dinked his finish over the despairing Mannone.
The scoring continued in the second half and on the hour Laurent Koscielny headed home a Santi Cazorla corner.
Sunderland did manage to claim a late goal when substitute Emanuele Giaccherini fired home a wonderful effort from 25 yards - but it was no more than a mere consolation.
Arsenal (4-3-2-1): Szczesny 7; Sagna 7, Mertesacker 7, Koscielny 7.5 (Flamini 67), Monreal 6 (Jenkinson 45, 6); Arteta 7, Wilshere 7, Rosicky 8 (Gnabry 73); Cazorla 7.5, Podolski 6.5; Giroud 8.5.

Hull City are just a point further back from West Ham after they hammered Cardiff City 4-0 in South Wales.
Tom Huddlestone fired home the opener on 18 minutes after David Marshall saved well from Nikita Jelavic, albeit via a deflection off Andrew Taylor.
The second arrived before half time and was a nice move as Shane Long played it into Jelavic to fire home.
The third came on 57 minutes as an unmarked Jelavic rose to head home Liam Rosenior's cross, before Jake Livermore stroked home the fourth after a clinical counter-attack to seal a brilliant win for Steve Bruce's side.

Manchester City made sure of the status quo at the top after a hard fought 1-0 win over Stoke City at the Etihad Stadium.
The only goal arrived 20 minutes from time and it was a lovely finish from Yaya Toure as he finished from close range after Aleksandar Kolarov drilled the ball into the six-yard box.
There was time for Edin Dzeko to produce one of the misses of the season as failed to connect from just two yards out.

West Bromwich Albion claimed a 1-1 draw with Fulham thanks to a late goal from Matej Vydra.
Fulham went ahead just before the half-hour mark as West Brom failed to clear Kieran Richardson's cross and it fell for Ashkan Dejagah on the edge of the box and he lashed it home.
Felix Magath looked to be on his way to an opening win, but with just five minutes left Vydra managed to squeeze a shot under Maarten Steklenburg to secure a precious point for Pepe Mel.

15:00 West Ham (2) 3 Southampton (1) 1 |
West Ham moved into the top half of the Premier League after they came from behind to beat Southampton 3-1 at Upton Park.
The Saints went ahead early on when an unmarked Maya Yoshida headed home after just eight minutes from Steve Davis' free-kick.
The Hammers, though, levelled not long after as Kevin Nolan's ball over the top broke the offside trap and Matt Jarvis took it down before finishing past Artur Boruc.
Yoshida then turned villain as he failed to clear Carlton Cole's header which rebounded off the post and the striker reacted quickest to turn it home.
The three points were secured on 71 minutes when Cole headed the ball down for Nolan, who produced an acrobatic finish to beat Boruc.
West Ham (4-4-1-1): Adrian 6; Demel 6, Collins 6.5, Tomkins 7, McCartney 6; Jarvis 6.5 (Diame 57, 6), Taylor 7, Noble 8.5, Downing 7.5; Nolan 8 (Reid 73, 6); Carlton Cole 7.5

In the day's late game, Wayne Rooney added the gloss to the new contract he signed on Friday as he scored a fine goal in Manchester United's 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace.
Robin van Persie broke the deadlock from the penalty spot in the 62nd minute after Patrice Evra had been fouled by Marouane Chamakh.
Rooney then volleyed exquisitely into the top corner from Evra's cross six minutes later, as United sealed an important win and left Palace very much in the relegation scrap.

Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge both netted twice as title outsiders Liverpool edged a 4-3 victory against Swansea in an Anfield classic.
Brendan Rodgers' side continue to be plagued by a poor defence but moved within four points of Barclays Premier League leaders Chelsea after emerging victorious from one of the games of the season.
Henderson had the final word in his side's success, forcing home from point-blank range in the 74th minute after his initial effort had been saved.

13:30 Newcastle United (0) 1 Aston Villa (0) 0 ~ SkySports1 |
Loic Remy ended Newcastle United's goal drought with a stoppage-time strike as Aston Villa went down 1-0 at St James' Park.
Remy had squandered a glorious chance moments earlier when he could only hit the post with the goal seemingly at his mercy, and it looked as though the Magpies were set to finish a fifth straight game without getting on the scoresheet.

Norwich secured a vital 1-0 win over Tottenham at Carrow Road, where Robert Snodgrass scored the winning goal on Sunday.
Spurs struggled for rhythm and pace the visitors as much at fault for their midfield shortcomings as Norwich merited praise for continually hassling them off their stride.
Norwich City: Ruddy 7.5; Martin 7, Yobo 7, Bassong 6.5, Olsson 7; Snodgrass 8, Tettey 7.5, Fer 7, Johnson 7.5, Redmond 7 (Hoolahan 86); Van Wolfswinkel 6 (Hooper 72).
