Man City, Spurs win in Premier League

LONDON, England (AFP) — Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini praised his side’s all-round display after they overcame a disallowed penalty appeal and a red card shown to Eliaquim Mangala to win 3-0 away to Southampton yesterday.

Victory saw reigning Premier League champions City climb above Southampton into second place and move to within six points of leaders Chelsea.

Yaya Toure opened the scoring in the 51st minute at St Mary’s Stadium before centre-back Mangala was sent off for a second bookable offence.

Goals in the final 10 minutes from substitute Frank Lampard and Gael Clichy secured victory for the visitors.

Despite an ultimately convincing scoreline, some of the shine of victory was removed for City after a late injury to Vincent Kompany meant they finished the game down to nine men.

This loss represented a first home defeat since April for Southampton, the surprise package of the Premier League season so far.

The other Premier League match yesterday saw Tottenham Hotspur come from behind to beat Everton 2-1 at White Hart Lane in a match where Spurs striker Roberto Soldado scored the winner to end his near 10-hour wait for a goal in all competitions.

Kevin Mirallas gave visitors Everton a 15th-minute lead before Christian Eriksen equalised six minutes later.

Then, in first-half stoppage-time, former Valencia forward Soldado kept his composure to beat Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard with a low shot after a fine pass from Aaron Lennon.

His strike meant Soldado ended a run of 593 minutes without a goal.

Victory saw Tottenham climb above Everton and into seventh place, level on points with north London arch-rivals Arsenal.

Chelsea, who remained unbeaten, dropped points for only the third time this season after they were held to a goalless draw at Sunderland on Saturday.

Liverpool ended their three-match losing streak as Glen Johnson’s late goal clinched a hard-fought 1-0 success against Stoke at Anfield.

Robin van Persie scored only his fourth goal for Manchester United this season as the hosts cruised to a 3-0 win over Hull at Old Trafford.

Meanwhile, Danny Welbeck returned from injury to maintain Arsenal’s recent revival as the England striker sealed a 1-0 win at West Bromwich Albion.
