LONDON – Slender victories for Chelsea and Manchester City, but a potent attacking display by Arsenal, left the top of the Premier League unchanged on Saturday.

Chelsea leads the way after captain John Terry clinched a 1-0 victory over Everton in stoppage time by bundling the ball over.

Arsenal is just a point behind its London rival as Olivier Giroud scored twice on his return to the starting lineup in a 4-1 victory over struggling Sunderland.

Third-placed City relied on Yaya Toure’s goal to see off former manager Mark Hughes’ Stoke 1-0 to remain three points from the summit with a game in hand.

In the late game, Manchester United is at Crystal Palace.
