David Nugent rescued a crucial point at home to Stoke City with the Clarets man leveling for the Turf Moor outfit after Tuncay had put the away side ahead before the break.
Arsenal triumphed over Burnley at the Emirates to go second in the Premier League table but did not have it all their own way against their travel sick opponents.
It wasn’t until a late goal from Andrei Arshavin near to the final whistle that the Gunners had safely claimed all three points against a Burnley side who are notoriously bad away from home. Cesc Fabregas put Arsenal ahead but David Nugent leveled early in the second half only for Theo Walcott to put the north London side back in front on the hour mark.
Andrei Arshavin settled Arsenal’s nerves scored a third at the death. Less pleasing for the Emirates side was the injury sustained by captain Cesc Fabregas soon after he had scored. The last thing Arsene Wenger needs as he looks to push on with a title chase is to lose his mercurial skipper for any lengthy period of the time.
Chelsea snatched three valuable points as the Stamford Bridge outfit overcame a determined Burnley side at Turf Moor. Nicolas Anelka gave the away side the lead but Steven Fletcher equalized after being found by a fantastic Robbie Blake past which the Clarets striker put away expertly.
Man of the moment, for all the wrong reasons, John Terry then headed the Blues back into the lead late on and the west London side held on for a crucial win.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United side took over an hour to break down Burnley at Old Trafford before goals from strike pairing Dimitar Berbatov and Wayne Rooney sealed the win for the title chasers before Diouf scored his first for the club.
Arsenal skipper Cesc Fabregas gave the north London side the lead at Burnley, only to see Graham Alexander score an equalizer from the spot. The draw hampers Arsenal’s title hopes and Arsene Wenger’s side had enough opportunities to take all three points.
Mark Hughes’s Man City side showed great character to come from two goals down to take the lead against Burnley but a late goal from Kevin McDonald salvaged a well deserved point for the Clarets.
A selection of talent from Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester United, Chelsea, Everton, Stoke City, Burnley, Sunderland and Aston Villa who should get more in the way of plaudits.
