 Chelsea succumb to West Brom at the Hawthorns

West Bromwich Albion increased the pressure on Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas with a late winner in the Premier League clash at The Hawthorns.
Cheslsea was impresive in the first half but Sturridge missed a easy chance and they lost their form after the break and after 82 minutes defender McAuley socred when Ridgewell drove Andrews' chip across the area and McAuley diverted the ball past Cech.
The defeat left Chelsea struggling for a Champions League spot as they went three points adrift of Arsenal.

In the morning, the gunners left Liverpool facing up to another year without Champions League football as Robin van Persie scored both goals in Arsenal's 2-1 victory at Anfield.
After 23 minutes, Laurent Koscielny own goal had given the home side the lead. Eight minutes later van Persie equallised. He escaped the desperate challenge of Jamie Carragher picking up Sagna's to head past Reina.
With the fourth official signalling eight minutes of stoppage time, Arsenal sensed a late winner and Van Persie stunned Anfield by volleying Alex Song's pinpoint chip pass past Reina on 92 minutes.

City benifited from a 23rd minute own goal Steinsson to win their 18th straight Premier League home win
