Arsenal left it late at the Emirates against Cardiff City
with goals from Nicklas Bendtner and Theo Walcott ensuring the league leaders climb
back to top the log on new year’s day with a 2 – 0 victory after Manchester City
had briefly stayed up. The Gunners who showed a tired display after a congested
round of 3 games in a week got a boost from substitute Nicklas Bendtner’s goal
on the 88th minute after replacing German machine Lukas Podolski. There
were wins for title rivals Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea as the title
race stretches on.
Manchester United began their 2014 run with a 2-1 loss to Tottenham
Hotspur at the Old Trafford, their forth defeat at home and sixth in the league
putting them 11 points off the league leaders and seventh position behind Spurs
at sixth. Adebayor and Christian Eriksen had put Spurs ahead before Danny
Welbeck pulled one back for the red devils.
At the bottom of the league, Fulham won 2-1 against 10-man
West Ham United who stay second-bottom above Sunderland who lost to Aston Villa
1-0. Crystal Palace are 18th after a 1-1 draw with Norwich City.
