Liverpool back on top, Everton drubs Arsenal
Print Edition
STEVEN Gerrard scored two penalties as Liverpool went back to the top of the English Premier League with a 2-1 win at West Ham United yesterday.
West Ham equalized a minute later with a controversial goal from Guy Demel after former Liverpool striker Andy Carroll fouled Liverpool keeper Simon Mignolet. The ball dropped to Demel who swept it in.
Earlier Everton crushed a woeful Arsenal side 3-0 at Goodison Park to boost its chances of a top four finish and a possible place in next season’s Champions League for the first time in nine seasons.
The two vitally important games had a big bearing on the top of the table with Liverpool top with 74 points from 33 matches, two ahead of Chelsea who have also played 33.
Goals from Steven Naismith, Romelu Lukaku and an own-goal by Everton old boy Mikel Arteta saw the Toffees, who have a game in hand over Arsenal, record a convincing victory.
Arsenal is now in the danger of missing out on a top four finish.
On Saturday, Chelsea and Manchester City both earned routine victories.
Chelsea beat Stoke 3-0 to take back the lead at the top and Manchester City brushed aside Southampton 4-1.
Manchester United has struggled at home all season but maintained its good away form with David Moyes’ sixth-place side claiming a league-leading 10th road win by beating Newcastle 4-0 with Juan Mata scoring twice.
Fulham climbed off the bottom with a 2-1 win at Aston Villa to 18th place, five points from Norwich, which lost 0-1 at West Bromwich Albion.
