Fans call for Wenger exit as Gunners crash to WBA

Arsene Wenger felt the venom of the Arsenal fans as his side’s Champions League hopes suffered another blow with a 3-1 loss at West Brom on Saturday.

The Frenchman, who is yet to reveal whether he will remain in charge beyond the end of the season, saw his side beaten by two Craig Dawson headers, either side of a Hal Robson-Kanu goal.

Alexis Sanchez’s equaliser briefly brought the Gunners level, but it offered little cause for celebration for Wenger, who saw his side lose for the fourth time in five Premier League games, while he again bore the brunt of supporters’ anger as travelling fans called for his exit.

Chelsea’s march towards the league title continued at Stoke, but they had to rely on a Gary Cahill goal in the 87th minute to grab a 2-1 win.

Antonio Conte’s visitors went ahead in the 13th minute when Stoke goalkeeper Lee Grant could only palm Willian’s free-kick inside his own near post.

Mark Hughes’s men levelled through a Jonathan Walters penalty.

Cahill’s late winner took the Blues 13 points clear at the top.

Champions Leicester continued their remarkable resurgence under Craig Shakespeare as they won 3-2 away at West Ham.

Goals from Riyad Mahrez and Robert Huth had the Foxes two up after only seven minutes and, although Manuel Lanzini pulled one back in the 20th minute, a Jamie Vardy finish restored the visitors’ two-goal cushion before the break.

Andre Ayew headed home a second for the Hammers but they could not find a leveller.

Everton beat struggling Hull 4-0, Watford lost 1-0 at Crystal Palace and basement boys Sunderland drew 0-0 at home to Burnley.
