Arsenal extends lead

Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the Premier League with a 2-0 win over Wigan, while Manchester United slumped to a shock 1-0 defeat at Bolton on Saturday.
Arsene Wenger's side moved three points clear of second-placed United with a game on hand, with the goals from William Gallas and Tomas Rosicky in the final seven minutes at the Emirates Stadium.
There was more good news for Arsenal from the Bolton, where Nicolas Anelka helped his old club as his first-half winner ended United's 9-match winning run in the league. Now Arsenal have 33 points from 13 games while Man u have only 30 points from 14 games.
Arsenal found it hard to break down Wigan but eventually took the lead when William Gallas headed home in the 83rd minute. Rosicky's goal two minutes later ensured Wigan, watched by their new manager Steve Bruce, slumped to a seventh successive defeat.
Bolton, who won for the first time under Gary Megson, stunned the champions in the 11th minute when Anelka punished sloppy marking to turn in Ivan Campo's free-kick.
It was a miserable day for Alex Ferguson, who was without injured striker Wayne Rooney and surprisingly he rested Portugal winger Cristiano Ronaldo.
The United boss was sent to the stands for repeatedly questioning referee Mark Clattenburg's decisions and had to watch as his side waste a host of chances to equalise.
Ferguson launched a scathing attack on Clattenbury after the match.
"They set an aggressive tone and we needed some protection from the referee but we didn't get it," he said. "The first-half was a shambles. It was just foul, after foul, after foul." "I told him exactly what I thought and he didn't like it. Some referees don't like the truth. I just told him how bad I thought he was in the first-half."
Chelsea remain in fourth place after goals from Salomon Kalou and Shaun Wright-Phillips earned a 2-0 win at Derby that was marred by Michael Essien's stoppage-time dismissal.
Kalou's cool finish opened the scoring in the 17th minute and Wright-Phillips bagged his first club goal of the season in the closing stages to extend Chelsea's unbeaten run to 12 matches.
But Essien was given a red card when he swung an elbow at Kenny Miller in the last minute.
Steven Gerrard's stunning strike put Liverpool on course for a 3-0 win against Newcastle.
Gerrard broke the deadlock at St James' Park with a fierce long-range effort in the 28th minute and Dirk Kuyt's close range effort a minute after half-time left Rafa Benitez's side in complete control.
Liverpool added a third in the 66th minute when Ryan Babel side-footed home Gerrard's pass.
Aston Villa gave Martin O'Neill the perfect gift after he committed his future to the club as they beat Middlesbrough 3-0 at the Riverside Stadium. O'Neill was one of the favourites for the vacant England job but he insists he won't turn his back on Villa.
His players responded as Gareth Barry's 45th minute cross picked out John Carew and the Norway striker lashed his shot past Mark Schwarzer.
Villa increased their lead when Olof Mellberg drove in his first goal since August 2006 in the 48th minute before Gabriel Agbonlahor put the result beyond doubt in the 58th minute.
Australia midfielder Tim Cahill's double strike helped Everton claim their biggest win of the season as they demolished Sunderland 7-1 at Goodison Park.
Cahill took his tally to five goals in seven games since he returned from a broken foot as Everton extended their unbeaten in run to seven matches.
David Moyes's side raced into a two-goal lead through Yakubu's 12th minute goal and Cahill's effort five minutes.
South African midfielder Steven Pienaar smashed in the third after 43 minutes before Sunderland pulled one back through Dwight Yorke.
Cahill got his second the 62nd minute, Yakubu made it five after 73 minutes and Andy Johnson and Leon Osman completed the rout.
Manchester City extended their 100 percent home league run as Stephen Ireland's stoppage time goal clinched a 2-1 win over Reading.

Portsmouth celebrated manager Harry Redknapp's 200th Premier League game in charge as they beat managerless Birmingham 2-0 at St Andrews thanks to goals from Sulley Ali Muntari and Niko Kranjcar.

Croatia midfielder Kranjcar scored a superb 82nd minute effort that took Portsmouth's unbeaten run to seven league games.
