Premier League: Arsenal in pole position

Arsenal remain in charge of the Premier League title race after a dramatic 3-2 victory over Manchester United. The Gunners are five points clear at the top. An Erling Haaland hat-trick gave second-placed Manchester City a comfortable win over Wolves. Newcastle United stretched their unbeaten run in the league to 15 matches with a goalless draw at Crystal Palace. The Magpies are third in the table, above Manchester United on goal difference. A 2-0 home victory for West Ham over Everton in a key game at the bottom of the table saw the Hammers move out of the relegation zone. Everton are second from bottom as manager Frank Lampard comes under increasing pressure.
