Arsenal ponovno vodi, Liverpool poražen u Manchesteru

Nakon devet utakmica na tradicionalni 'Boxing Day', drugi dan Božića, Arsenal je opet vodeća momčad engleskog Premiershipa.

Naime, Topnici su u gostima s 3:1 svladali West Ham, a Liverpool je izgubio u derbiju kola. Manchester City je svladao Redse s 2:1 iako su gosti poveli preko Coutinha. Ipak, Kompany i Negredo, uz pomoć vratara Mignoleta, donijeli su Cityju pobjedu za drugo mjesto na ljestvici.

Edin Džeko ušao je u 77. minuti umjesto Negreda.

Pobjedu je ostvario Manchester United, a Everton je iznenađujuće poražen doma od Sunderlanda.
