EPL: City extend lead to 13 points after thrashing Bournemouth 4-0,  Man U  2-2  Leicester, Everton 0-0 Chelsea, other results



Leicester 2-2 Manchester United:

Harry Maguire netted a 94th-minute equaliser as Manchester United were punished for their wastefulness in a 2-2 draw at Leicester.

Somewhat against the run of play, Jamie Vardy finished off a fantastic counter attack in the 27th minute to break the deadlock - his 50th Premier League goal, and his fourth in all competitions against United.

United deservedly restored parity 13 minutes later, as Juan Mata stroked the ball home after good work from Jesse Lingard, before the Spain international curled a delightful free-kick into the net on the hour mark to complete the turn around.

Leicester pressed for an equaliser, but substitute Daniel Amartey's needless red card after two quick-fire bookings didn't help their cause, as it seemed United would go on to extend their lead.

However, after Jose Mourinho's men wasted a host of gilt-edged chances to seal victory, Maguire stole in at the back post to snatch the Foxes a point in the most dramatic fashion, with the last kick of the game.

As a result, United are now 13 points behind leaders Manchester City, while Leicester stay eighth.
   

Burnley 0-3 Tottenham: Harry Kane nets hat-trick as Spurs go fifth

Harry Kane scored his seventh hat-trick of 2017 as Tottenham moved above Burnley into fifth with a 3-0 victory at Turf Moor.

Kane opened the scoring from the penalty spot on six minutes after Dele Alli, who was lucky to avoid a red card for a wild early challenge on Charlie Taylor, went down in the box.

Spurs dominated from that moment on and should have been further ahead by the time Kane netted two second-half goals to take his tally of goals for club and country in 2017 to 53 goals.

Sanchez, Mesut Ozil, Virgil van Dijk, Antoine Griezmann and Philippe Coutinho were discussed

The 24-year-old's treble also sees him equal Alan Shearer's record of 36 Premier League goals in a calendar year.

The result ends a run of five games without an away win for Spurs, who also move above Arsenal and to within one point of Liverpool in fourth.
   

Everton 0-0 Chelsea

Everton extended their unbeaten Premier League run to six matches with a hard-earned goalless draw against Chelsea at Goodison Park on Saturday.

Chelsea controlled possession and created the better chances, but could not find a breakthrough against a dogged Everton defence.

Phil Jagielka and Ashley Williams both cleared off the line for the Toffees and the latter also deflected a cross from Victor Moses on to his own bar.

Everton did not have a shot on target but could have snatched a winner in injury-time as Michael Keane headed over from a corner.

The draw continues Everton's revival under Sam Allardyce, who remains unbeaten since he took charge almost a month ago. Chelsea, meanwhile, are 13 points behind leaders Manchester City - who face Bournemouth later on Saturday.

   
Manchester City 4-0 Bournemouth

Sergio Aguero scored his 100th and 101st goals at the Etihad Stadium as Manchester City extended their Premier League winning streak to 17 games with a 4-0 thrashing of Bournemouth.

City’s record scorer was left unmarked to head in Fernandinho’s clipped cross on 27 minutes and nodded home their 100th goal of 2017 with 10 minutes to play, after Raheem Sterling had slotted in a second eight minutes into the second half.

There was still time for substitute Danilo to drill in a fourth with five minutes remaining as City made their total dominance count and moved 13 points clear at the top of the Premier League table after Manchester United were held 2-2 by Leicester City.
