United level with City as Tottenham progress


Darron Gibson scored his first goal for Everton
Manchester United scored both the goals on penalties to beat Stoke City 2-0 as they level the points with Manchester City.
Javier Hernandez scored the first penalty when Ji-Sung Park was fouled by Jermaine Pennant and Dimitar Berbatov scored the second after Janathan Walters unfair challenge on Antonio Valencia.
Darron Gibson helped former team Manchester United as his first goal for Everton was enough to beat Premier League leaders Manchester City.
Gibson lifted the crowd further when he struck following Leighton Baines' cross while City created many chances with Samir Nasri hitting the bar twice but they could not capitalise.
Tottenham revived their Premier League campaign with a comfortable victory at White Hart Lane, as Wigan remained rooted to the foot of the table.
Gareth Bale scored the opener when he chested down Luka Modric's sublime crossfield pass to volley Spurs ahead from 10 yards.
Modric made it two with a powerful 20-yard shot on the turn and after a quiet spell in the second half, Bale found the bottom corner, before James McArthur chipped a consolation.
Liverpool beat Wolverhampton as Andy Carroll celebrated the first anniversary of his £35m move to Liverpool by scoring the opener.
Carroll, 23, prodded in at the far post at the start of the second half to open the scoring in the Premier League game.
Craig Bellamy added a second with a low finish and Dirk Kuyt scored a third after a quick break.
Neil Taylor's late own-goal saved 10-man Chelsea as the Swansea City defender denied his side a famous win.
Scott Sinclair ex-Chelsea winger whipped a left-foot effort over Chelsea keeper Petr Cech for a wonder goal.
But after Ashley Cole was sent off, Jose Bosingwa made amends for his part in Swansea's goal by helping Chelsea rescue a point in added time.
