Arsenal, under pressure from City who won Saturday, resumed Sunday 1st place in the championship of England by winning at Newcastle (1-0), while Liverpool , the previous leader jostled by Chelsea ( 2-1) now back to 5th place .
After the victory in the Magpies pulled through to 1st Giroud month , Arsene Wenger praised the mental strength of his which ended the year at the end of the roll but with the pride of having taken 82 points since January.
Now with City ( 2) and Chelsea (3) the tailgating and a colon, the Gunners , whose group is much less extensive than those of his rivals, have great need of these qualities and fresh if they want to keep this rank in May.
Nevertheless, three are teammates Wilshere who, one year after the 7-3 reduced from Saint James Park, made the best impression by going to impose without Özil or Ramsey at 8th Newcastle who had lost that once since Nov. 2 . And who could get better with a little more success on a post Debuchy or involuntary head Rémy .
double blow
Victorious Liverpool , Chelsea also double blow by taking three points ahead of the fourth Everton while weakening a little more direct opponent after having inflicted , for the 1st time this season, a second straight defeat .
The course of the match could even crack a little more confidence Reds because , like City, they led before collapsing , which is now being rejected them in 5th place when they were first championship at Christmas Eve. Suarez, held to celebrate his reunion with Ivanovic , the defender he had bitten the spring before being suspended ten games is Skrtel who deceived Cech in the 4th minute .
But Chelsea took out the big game before the break , first to equalize thanks to Hazard, then to take the lead after the third goal of the season Eto'o . Decisive on two goals , Oscar proved invaluable as Luiz , unusual defensive midfielder, has managed to forget the suspension of Ramires .
Pity that the natural tendency of Blues has taken over and they are released in the second period thinking primarily to keep their slender lead . Liverpool then tried everything to come back and if Chelsea trembled as his post (54).
Beaten only once in their last nine league games , players Mourinho will however show anything during the 2nd half of the season if they want to thwart the aspirations of clubs that are ahead .
Four out of five matches at Anfield
As for the Reds , despite five months of beautifully crafted , they know what they need to improve to move up the rankings after taking five out of 21 points in their last seven trips. They can heal their wounds in January by playing four games in five at Anfield. After Manchester United on Saturday so they are Everton and Tottenham who made Sunday the bargain in the group of pursuers.
Winners 2-1 Southampton ( 9) , including through the 9th goal Lukaku but his first in six games , the Toffees are even 4th and will not have long doubted after losing three days earlier their unbeaten at home in 2013 . Uncomfortable at home, Tottenham ( 7) was able to resume at White Hart Lane, against Stoke ( 12) , beaten 3-0. Confirmed in office , the former interim Tim Sherwood will be able to breathe.
But not too long because before facing Arsenal in a week in section, Tottenham must first go Wednesday at Old Trafford to face Manchester United has the same number of points but ahead of a place.
