Manchester City 1-3 Leicester City
Leicester City are now officially the favourite to win the EPL this season after an outstanding performance against the second placed Manchester City.
Leicester refused to read the script to produce a magnificent performance to score three good goal at the Etihad.
The first was scored in the third minute by Robert Huth from Mahrez free-kick after Kolarov committed a foul. Huth picked up the resulting free-kick inside the box and fired a shot that was deflected past Joe Hart.
A lightning fast counter-attack produced the second goal. Mahrez makes a great solo run and weaved his way past opponents before unleashing a cracking shot from the edge of the box, giving Joe Hart no chance of reaching it, coincidentally three minute into the second-half.
The third was another set-piece, whipped in from a corner and Huth was in the right place at the right time to plant a firm header perfectly into the left side of the goal in the 60th minute.
Manchester City rallied in the final minutes with Aguero connecting with a perfect cross from Bersant Celina to reduce the deficit. Too little too late!
It was a pulsating and entertaining encounter, a wonderful spectacle for football lovers. Leicester are now six points clear at the top, throwing down the gauntlet to the rest – catch us if you can.
Newcastle 1-0 West Brom
The Magpies got a very vital and well deserved victory to move them out of the relegation zone, especially after their midweek mauling in the hands of Everton.
The hosts dominated the match and are worthy winners. Mitrovic made the difference when coolly finishing a defence splitting and slidding through ball from Jonjo Shelvey.
It was the Magpies best performance for some time and could have had more, while West Brom on the other hand were uncharacteristically woeful.
Stoke City 0-3 Everton
Everton picked up where they left off after their comprehensive midweek victory. Goals from Lukaku, Coleman and Aaron Lennon ensured victory that helped the visitors climb into the top half of the table.
The match was won in the first half in a blistering performance by the visitors to record their first back to back victory since the start of the season.
Lukaku scored the first goal from the spot after Jack Butland fouled Tom Cleverly, forcing the referee to award a penalty that was duly tucked away to become Everton record breaker – 20 goals in successive seasons.
Cleverly provided the second from a corner for Seamus Coleman to head home before Lennon pounced on a mistake by Wollscheid to race through to complete the rout.
