Arsenal took a 33rd-minute lead when Mesut Ozil's 12th assist of the season allowed Joel Campbell to slot home.

Stoke prevailed over City courtesy of a pair of early goals that were each created by Xherdan Shaqiri and finished by Marko Arnautovic.

United were unable to follow Leicester and Arsenal's lead as their goal-scoring problems resurfaced in a 0-0 draw at home to West Ham that left them level on points with City in fourth place.

Glenn Murray's 82nd-minute goal for Bournemouth condemned Chelsea to their worst defeat of a wretched season
