Premier League leaders Chelsea continued their march towards the title after sweeping aside Arsenal 3-1 at Stamford Bridge.

Goals from Marcos Alonso, Eden Hazard, and Cesc Fabregas secured a comfortable victory for Antonio Conte’s men, with Olivier Giroud’s late consolation all that Gunners fans had to cheer on a miserable afternoon in West London.

The Blues remain nine points clear of second place Tottenham, after Mauricio Pochettino’s side edged past struggling Middlesbrough 1-0 at White Hart Lane, while Manchester City moved up to third courtesy of a last-gasp 2-1 win over Swansea on Sunday.

They leapfrogged both Arsenal and Liverpool, with Jurgen Klopp’s side now winless in five after suffering a surprise 2-0 defeat against an improving Hull, and the Reds are now just a point ahead of sixth place Manchester United, who breezed past champions Leicester 3-0 on Sunday.

Everton remain seventh and five points behind United after a remarkable 6-3 victory over Eddie Howe’s Bournemouth, who slip to 14th after a third defeat in four matches, while West Brom picked up their fourth win in six games after getting past Stoke 1-0 at the Hawthorns.

West Ham moved up to ninth after beating a struggling Southampton 3-1 at St Mary’s, while Watford ascended into the top half of the table courtesy of a 2-1 win over Burnley, who remain without an away win in the league this term.

And, at the bottom, Sunderland produced a sensational display to emphatically beat Crystal Palace 4-0 at Selhurst Park, although David Moyes’ side still remain bottom of the division.

So, in what was a frantic weekend of action in the top-flight, many supporters took to social media to express their views on the matches, with Chelsea’s win over Arsenal producing quite a response on Twitter, with Blues fans thrilled at yet another three points…
