Late Winners Help Top Six

Another exciting weekend in the Premier League saw four sides score crucial winning goals in the final minutes with two others confirming wins with second goals but the Gunners still remain top after all the action.

Arsenal faced a trip to Crystal Palace in the early kick-off and came away with a 2-0 win after an Arteta pen handed them the lead but the Spaniard was dismissed later on before Giroud confirmed the win three minutes from the end.

Everton continued their good form with a 2-0 win at Aston Villa with goals from Lukaku and Osman while Liverpool hit West Brom for four in a 4-1 home win that saw a first Anfield hat-trick from Luis Suarez followed by a Morrison penalty with Sturridge adding a spectacular fourth in the 77th minute.

Stoke are cursing their luck after letting a 2-1 half time lead at Old Trafford slip to lose 3-2 to a second half United comeback, Crouch put the Potters ahead in the 4th minute with Van Persie equalising two minutes from the break but Arnautovic gave Stoke a 2-1 lead right on half time and late goals from Rooney and Hernandez sealed the win.

Norwich and Cardiff drew 0-0 while Southampton beat Fulham 2-0 in the late kick off with goals from Lambert and Rodriguez while Sunday's early game was the Tyne/Wear derby that saw bottom side Sunderland shock neighbours Newcastle with an early opener from Fletcher with Debuchy equalising in the second half and Borini hit a superb winner with six minutes remaining.

A Joe Hart howler saw Torres hit the winning goal in a tense battle between Chelsea and Manchester City with the home side leading through Schurrle on the half-hour with Aguero levelling for City early in the second half with the Torres winner coming in the final minute for a 2-1 win.

Swansea and West Ham drew 0-0 while Tottenham won the first of two games this week against Hull (League Cup -midweek) with a 80th minute penalty from Soldado sealing the win.
