Arsenal grab late point as Chelsea march on
ARSENAL staged a dramatic late fightback to grab a 2-2 draw at Everton on Saturday.
The Toffees hit 1-14 in-play as they led 2-0 with less than ten minutes to go, but goals from Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud secured the Gunners a point.
Seamus Coleman broke the deadlock and Steven Naismith added a second for Everton before the break but Arsenal battled back and are 13-2 for the title.
Arsenal are on four points from two matches, while Chelsea made it two straight wins after the 6-5 title favourites beat Leicester 2-0 at Stamford Bridge.
New striker Diego Costa opened the scoring in the second half and Eden Hazard doubled Chelsea’s advantage in a game where the Championship winners competed well for an hour.
Managerless Crystal Palace need to rapidly finish their search for a new boss judging by their 3-1 loss to London rivals West Ham at Selhurst Park.
Mauro Zarate, Stewart Downing and Carlton Cole were on target for the Hammers, while Marouane Chamakh notched for Palace.
Neil Lennon is 7-4 favourite with bet365 and Ladbrokes to replace Tony Pulis and Palace are 11-8 with Paddy Power to be relegated, while Burnley are the favourites in that market as they wait for their first point.
The Clarets went down 1-0 at Swansea, while there was nothing to shout about in the Premier League’s two other matches – Aston Villa v Newcastle and Southampton v West Brom – with both games ending goalless
