Chelsea 2-1 Arsenal
Chelsea overcame their London rivals Arsenal 2-1 at Stamford Bridge this afternoon, despite a spirited second half from the Gunners. The home side took the lead early when Juan Mata fired past Szczesny, and were 2 up when Frank Lampard converted a penalty after Szczesny felled Ramires. Arsenal fought in the second half, and got one back when Walcott curled past Petr Cech, but couldn't find an equaliser as Chelsea held out for the win.
Man of the Match: Juan Mata
Tottenham 1-1 Manchester United
Spurs left it late to earn a deserved point against Premier League leaders Manchester United at White Hart Lane. Former Arsenal forward Robin van Persie gave United a 25 minute lead with his 18th league goal of the season, and were looking odds-on to stretch the lead over second placed Man City to 7 points. However, Spurs dominated the second half, creating numerous chances, before Clint Dempsey finished from close range to end the match level.
Man of the Match: Michael Carrick
