Chelsea 2-0 Arsenal

Chelsea have kept clean sheets in each of their last five outings against Arsenal in the Premier League.

The victory also means that Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is still waiting for his first Premier League victory over his Chelsea counterpart Jose Mourinho.

Meanwhile, Gabriel Paulista and Santi Cazorla took Arsenal's Premier League red card tally to 79 - no team has received more.


Aston Villa 0-1 West Bromwich Albion

West Brom's victory was their first at Villa Park since a 2-1 triumph in October 2011.

It's a venue where hosting Villa are without a win in their last four outings, losing three and drawing once.

As for manager Tim Sherwood, he has seen Villa defeated in six of their previous eight Premier League games.


Bournemouth 2-0 Sunderland

Sunderland defender Younes Kaboul was sent off for the sixth time in his Premier League career - only five players have been handed their marching orders on more occasions.

The loss, meanwhile, meant that the travelling Black Cats have not won any of their last nine Premier League games.

Bournemouth's Callum Wilson scored his fifth Premier League goal of the campaign in what was his sixth outing.


Newcastle United 1-2 Watford

Two-goal hero Odion Ighalo has now found the net 20 times in 2015 - no player in England's top four divisions has scored more goals during that time.

The Nigerian's contribution helped Watford to record their first victory in seven attempts over Newcastle - a run that dated back to 1993.

The hosting Magpies have scored just three goals from their six Premier League matches this term.


Stoke City 2-2 Leicester City

Jonathan Walters's goal took his tally for Stoke in the Premier League to 35, which makes him the club's leading goalscorer in the top flight.

However, Leicester's fightback means that the Potters are still without a victory this season.

Riyad Mahrez has scored seven goals and assisted three more in his last nine Premier League outings for the Foxes.


Swansea City 0-0 Everton

The last three Premier League meetings between these two sides have ended in draws.

Roberto Martinez's Everton have kept three clean sheets in a row away from home for the first time since December 2013.

Their winger - Kevin Mirallas - had been on the pitch for just 136 seconds when he became the first substitute this season to be handed a red card.


Manchester City 1-2 West Ham United

Victor Moses's goal was the first that Man City had conceded in the Premier League in 572 minutes.

The defeat also brought an end to City's run of 11 straight victories in the top flight.

West Ham defender Winston Reid made 21 clearances over the course of the 90 minutes, which is four more than any other defender this season.


Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 Crystal Palace

Tottenham's Son Heung-min became the seventh player from South Korea to have scored in the Premier League.

In contrast, Harry Kane's goal drought has continued, with the England international having scored just twice in his last 14 Premier League appearances.

Palace have not won away at White Hart Lane since November 1997.


Liverpool 1-1 Norwich City

Norwich's Russell Martin is the Premier League's top-scoring defender this campaign, having found the net three times.

Those three goals have come in his last five appearances - it had previously taken him 86 outings to reach that figure.

Liverpool centre-forward Daniel Sturridge made his first Premier League start since March.


Southampton 2-3 Manchester United

Man United's summer signing Anthony Martial has scored with each of his three shots on target in the Premier League.

After Louis Saha and Federico Macheda, the 19-year-old is the third player to score on his first two Premier League appearances for the Red Devils.

Of the 16 Premier League goals that Graziano Pelle has scored for Southampton, 14 have come at the St Mary's Stadium.
