Premier League Results: City and Chelsea march on but Utd are held

Edin Dzeko nets late on as City pull off the win
Both Manchester City and Chelsea won 2-1 away from home but the betting drama was at Old Trafford, Carrow Road and the Madejski Stadium where the goals were flowing...
Manchester United and Tottenham have their fair share of Premier League crackers and there was another classic clash between the two at Old Trafford this evening.
An early Spurs ambush sent the visitors on their way through a Jan Vertonghen goal against a sluggish home side. And United found themselves two down at the break after a Gareth Bale burst down the pitch resulted in a right foot finish past Anders Lindegaard.
Spurs have been here before though, and when Nani scored shortly after halftime memories of past capitulations were at the forefront of Spurs' minds. Which only made Clint Dempsey's third goal for Tottenham all the more surprising. Shinji Kagawa pulled one back for United on 53 minutes and the last 40 minutes was a period of extended United domination.
But to the surprise of just about everyone watching United were unable to do it. Tottenham were backed at 7.413/2 to win, with the 3-2 final score backed at a high of 70.069/1. United are 3.3512/5 for the title, Spurs trade can be backed around 50.049/1 to win the league.
Manchester City kept pace in the title race but they did it the hard way with a come-from-behind win at Fulham today. The three points ensured they didn't fall behind leaders Chelsea who took the spoils at Arsenal in the early kick-off.
Elsewhere there were wins for Liverpool - who hammered Norwich 5-2 at Carrow Road - Everton, Stoke and Sunderland while Reading and Newcastle entertained the fans with a four goal second-half in a 2-2 draw.
City were backed at an in-play high of 6.411/2 to win at Craven Cottage after Mladen Petric, in the side due to Dimitar Berbatov's injury, opened the scoring from the penalty spot. But the champions' multi million pound forward line came good with Sergio Aguero and Edin Dzeko sealing the three points.
Earlier in the day another expensive purchase was on target when Fernando Torres opened the scoring for Chelsea at the Emirates. Gervinho was able to strike back for the home side but Juan Mata gave the Blues a win that was backed at a high of 4.57/2 on Betfair.
Chelsea are now 4.47/2 to win the title, with City 2.9215/8. Arsenal, now seven points adrift of the leaders, are 13.012/1.
Second-placed Everton continue to enjoy a great start with a 3-1 home win over Southampton and the Toffees are now 6.611/2 for a top four finish.
Liverpool won their first league game under Brendan Rodgers thanks in part to a Luis Suarez hat-trick as Norwich were humbled 5-2 in front of their own fans. The scoreline was backed at a high of 120.0119/1 in-play on Betfair.
There was similar joy for correct score backers in the match at the Madejski - where the 2-2 scoreline traded at 85.084/1 on the exchange.
but there was less drama at the Britannia and Stadium of Light as Stoke and Sunderland both won, 2-0 and 1-0 respectively.
