Everton vs. Swansea city
1-2
Swansea are now out of the relegation zone courtesy of a very crucial away victory against Everton, this means Swansea have now won their last two matches in the EPL.
Ghanaian Andre Ayew was influential for the swans, first winning a penalty, after properly reading a poor back pass from John Stones to Howard who was reluctant to come for the ball, and when he did go for the ball, he tripped Ayew and the referee had no choice but to award the spot kick which Sigurdsson converted in the 17th minute........... Andre Ayew did get the second goal but that was after a jack cork own goal had levelled matters at Goddison park, as Everton pressed on, and got their equalizer via a Gareth Barry flick from a corner kick that jack cork put past his own goalkeeper.
Andre Ayew's match winning goal came in the 34th minute and puts Swansea city four points clear of the bottom three.
Everton had injuries to Besic and Mirallas during the course of the game, and are currently 12th on the EPL log.
arsenal vs. Chelsea
0-1
DIEGO COSTA got another Arsenal player red carded in just like he did in the reverse fixture at Stamford bridge, this time around, it was Mertesacker on the receiving end in the 18th minute after bringing down Diego Costa who had been sent through by Willain's pass, and he(mertesacker) was shown a straight red card by the referee.
Diego Costa then added more salt to injury in the 23rd for arsenal as he swept home to finish from a fine cross by Ivanovic.
The gunners have now failed to score against Chelsea in the last 6 consecutive EPL meetings and it looks like there is no difference, Arsene Wenger's side always find it hard against Chelsea, Jose Mourinho or no Jose Mourinho.
Arsenal sit third after this home loss, as they failed to keep up with Leicester city. the good news for Arsenal is that star player Alexis Sanchez is back frim injury, and his entrance in the 2nd half seemed to boost Arsenal.
Chelsea are unbeaten since the sack of Jose Mourinho, and all seems to be going their way now. the blues are now 13th position in the EPL log, who knows, they may just gate-crash the top 6 party.
MANCHESTER CITY 2ND WITH 44 POINTS
ARSENAL 3RD WITH 44 POINTS
TOTTENHAM 4TH WITH 42 POINTS
MANCHESTER UNITED 5TH WITH 37 POINTS
THE BOTTOM THREE:
NEWCASTLE UNITED WITH 21 POINTS
