ARSENAL, CITY STAY ON CHELSEAS TAIL In the English Premier League EPL, John Terry grabbed a stoppage-time winner as leaders Chelsea showed their Premier League title mettle by snatching a 1-0 victory over Everton on Saturday having looked set to suffer another damaging blow. The Chelsea captain strained every sinew to get a faint touch to a Frank Lampard free kick in the 93rd minute and keep his team a point clear of Arsenal who thrashed Sunderland 4-1 and three ahead of Manchester City who beat Stoke City 1-0. After drawing their last league game against West Bromwich Albion and suffering a chastening FA Cup defeat to rivals manchester city, Jose Mourinhos side were looking for a morale-boosting return to form. Yet they looked sluggish for most of the match and after finally sparking into life they came up against a stubborn Everton rearguard that only crumbled deep into added time. West Broms Matej Vydra snatched an 86th-minute equaliser to earn a 1-1 draw against Fulham, denying the London club a win that would have moved them off the foot of the table. Fulham stay a point behind Cardiff City whose sorry season hit a new low after a 4-0 home defeat by Hull City. Hull are now six points clear of trouble and one point behind West Ham United who continued their recent resurgence with a 3-1 win over Southampton. Meanwhile on Sunday, Jordan Hendersons 74th-minute winner gave Liverpool an extraordinary 4-3 win over Swansea City on Sunday that maintained the clubs impressive bid for a top-four Premier League finish.
