WEST BROMWICH, England (AP) — Chelsea’s troubles deepened as Rafa Benitez’s side lost at West Ham in the Premier League yesterday, while Manchester United took advantage of Man City’s slip-up to extend their lead to three points.

United twice came from behind to win 4-3 at Reading after City had drawn 1-1 at home to Everton.

Chelsea are already 10 points behind United after a 3-1 loss at West Ham left the European champions without a win in seven league matches, three since Benitez replaced the fired Roberto Di Matteo as manager.

Tottenham are now only behind Chelsea on goal difference in fourth place after beating Fulham, 3-0.

Arsenal dropped to 10th after Michu’s double gave Swansea a 2-0 victory at Emirates Stadium.

Queens Park Rangers remains winless and bottom after being held to a 1-1 draw by Aston Villa. West Bromwich Albion dropped to fifth after being beaten 1-0 by Stoke, and Liverpool defeated Southampton, 1-0.

Liverpool’s former manager, Benitez, is enduring a miserable return to the league he left in 2010 with the fans against him and the team not performing.

Chelsea took the lead at West Ham in the 13th minute when Fernando Torres cut the ball back from the right to Juan Mata, who swept in his eighth goal of the season.

The hosts fought back in the second half, with former Chelsea striker Carlton Cole equalising in the 63rd minute after taking the place of the injured Andy Carroll.

Cole set up Mohamed Diame’s decisive goal for West Ham in the 86th before being replaced by Modibo Maiga, who added a third in stoppage time.

And the fans made their opposition to Benitez clear with “Rafa Out” banners and chants backing Di Matteo.

At Arsenal, manager Arsene Wenger also faced jeers from his own fans and the team’s title hopes faded further.

Swansea went in front in the 88th when Michu broke free after a neat one-two with Luke Moore and slotted the ball into the net.

In stoppage time, the Spaniard latched onto a long clearance and raced through to again beat goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, prolonging Arsenal’s worst start to a league season since Wenger arrived in 1996.

United were forced to come from behind to win for the seventh time in 15 league matches this season. All seven goals at Reading came in a 26-minute frenzy, starting in the eighth minute by Hal Robson-Kanu putting the hosts in front from close range.

Anderson equalised after a one-two with Ashley Young, and Wayne Rooney put United in front from the penalty spot after Jonny Evans had been brought down by Jay Tabb

But then corners from Nicky Shorey were headed in by Adam Le Fondre and then Sean Morrison to give Reading a 3-2 advantage.

Rooney began United’s second comeback by slotting the ball into the net from Patrice Evra’s cross and then setting up Robin van Persie to put United in front for good.

Tottenham had no trouble overcoming Fulham to record a third staight win. Sandro put Spurs ahead 10 minutes into the second half with a 35-yard strike, before Jermain Defoe scored twice in five minutes.

At Etihad Stadium, Marouane Fellaini headed Everton in front in the 33rd, but managed to concede a penalty before half time after tangling with Edin Dzeko.
