Romelu Lukaku and Leon Osman scored for Everton at Villa Park to see the Toffees go past Manchetser City.

Manchester United were on the brink of another dismal defeat at Old Trafford against Stoke City, but showed a glimpse of their notorious fighting spirit to come from behind and win the match courtesy of late Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernanadez headers.

Mauricio Pochettini’s Southampton continues to impress with another clean sheet against uninspired Fulham. Rickie Lambert and Jay Rodriguez hit the back of the net to beat Martin Jol’s side.

Roberto Soldado’s late penalty strike was enough for Spurs to earn three points against The Tigers and stay in the top four.

Fernando Torres dramatic goal on 90 minutes saw Chelsea win against Manchester City and continue their successful home run under Jose Mourinho.
