Gunners leave it late to seal draw
ARSENAL secured a 1-1 draw against Manchester United with a powerful late header from substitute Olivier Giroud at Old Trafford to leave home boss Jose Mourinho fuming.
Mourinho looked to be on course for another victory over old rival Gunners boss Arsene Wenger when Juan Mata fired the home side into a deserved lead on 68 minutes.
However, as the clock ran down into the 89th minute, Giroud rose at the far post to head home fellow substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s cross to earn a share of the points with what was Arsenal’s first attempt on target.
Manchester City moved level on points with leaders Liverpool, second now only on goals scored, after Yaya Toure netted twice in a 2-1 win at Crystal Palace.
Toure marked his return to Premier League action for the first time this season with the opening goal on 38 minutes but Palace were level on 66 minutes through substitute Connor Wickham.
City, though, left Selhurst Park with all three points when midfielder Toure converted a corner from Kevin De Bruyne with seven minutes left.
Liverpool dropped points in a frustrating goalless draw at Southampton.
Sunderland collected a second straight league win to move off the bottom of the table with a 3-0 victory over fellow strugglers Hull at the Stadium of Light. Jermain Defoe took his tally to 150 Premier League goals to put the Black Cats ahead on 34 minutes.
Bournemouth beat Stoke 1-0 at the Bet365 Stadium with a goal from onloan Chelsea defender Nathan Ake after 26 minutes. Stoke had a chance to equalise at the start of the second half, but Bojan Krkic crashed his penalty against the crossbar.
Champions Leicester slumped to a 2-1 defeat at Watford. The Hornets, who were beaten 6-1 by Liverpool before the international break, swept into the lead after just 33 seconds through Etienne Capoue’s volley and Roberto Pereyra made it 2-0 on 12 minutes.
Although Leicester quickly reduced the deficit just two minutes later with a penalty from Riyad Mahrez, there was no way back for the Foxes.
In Saturday’s late kick-off, Harry Kane scored a stoppage-time penalty as Tottenham came from behind to beat West Ham 3-2 at White Hart Lane and preserve their unbeaten Premier League record.
The Irons went in front rather against the run of play on 24 minutes through a header from Michail Antonio.
Harry Winks, the 20-year-old midfielder making his first Premier League start, equalised from close range six minutes into the second half.
However, Spurs soon fell behind again to a penalty from Manuel Lanzini after 68 minutes before Kane struck in the 89th minute to level again... and there was stil time for his winner.
