The most unpredictable Premier League season in years threw up more surprises Saturday when Chelsea conceded an injury-time winner at Stoke and beleaguered defending champion Manchester United lost to Newcastle for a second home defeat in four days, AP reported. With Manchester City being held 1-1 at Southampton, Liverpool was able to capitalize on its rivals' slip-ups by thrashing West Ham 4-1 to go second, with Luis Suarez following up his spectacular quadruple in midweek by scoring again at Anfield. It was a good day for Arsenal, which retained its four-point lead ahead of its game against Everton on Sunday. Chelsea's 3-2 loss at Stoke saw Jose Mourinho's side drop to third on goal difference behind Liverpool. United's flimsy title hopes took another battering by losing 1-0 to Newcastle at Old Trafford, keeping the champions ninth. -- SPA 20:39 LOCAL TIME 17:39 GMT تغريد
