Arsenal hit back to beat Chelsea

Frank Lampard of Chelsea clears the ball as Alex Song of Arsenal closes in

Arsenal have got their Premier League campaign back on track with a 2-1 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The Gunners had been trailing after an own goal by Johan Djorou, but two goals by Robin Van Persie in just three minutes, turned the game on its head.

Earlier, Wayne Rooney scored his 100th goal for Manchester United to give them a 1-0 win over rivals Manchester City.

United took control early on and kept the advantage even after a handball by Cristiano Ronaldo got him sent off.

The win means United stay third in the Premier League, narrowing the gap behind Chelsea and Liverpool to five points, while Arsenal leapfrog Aston Villa to go fourth.

Elsewhere, Everton beat Tottenham 1-0 thanks to a Steven Pienaar goal, while Portsmouth scored a 3-2 victory against Blackburn.

It's Pompey's first win with Tony Adams in charge at Fratton Park and sees them move up to eighth place.

Meanwhile, Blackburn are still stuck near the bottom of the table after their ninth defeat in a row, which is the club's worst run of results in a decade.
