English Premier News :: Manchester City go top of the Premier League on Saturday night

Posted on 2011-01-16 by Gooner

Manchester City moved to the top of the Barclays Premier League table after holding off a Wolves comeback to triumph 4-3 at the City of Manchester Stadium.

Avram Grant's reign as West Ham manager looked set to have ended in defeat as Arsenal romped to a convincing 3-0 win at Upton Park. The Hammers boss was widely expected to lose his job regardless of the result, with Martin O'Neill ready to step in - but nothing has been announced officially yet by West Ham.

Chelsea secured only their second win in their last 10 league games with goals from Branislav Ivanovic and Nicolas Anelka in a 2-0 victory over Blackburn at Stamford Bridge.

West Brom ended a run of six successive defeats with a 3-2 victory over Blackpool in a topsy-turvy clash at The Hawthorns.
