Chelsea and Spurs roll on, United beat Arsenal

Three goals in seven minutes gave Chelsea a 3-0 Premier League home win over Burnley on Saturday while champions Manchester United were thankful for an Abou Diaby own goal as they came from 1-0 down to beat Arsenal 2-1 at Old Trafford.

Tottenham Hotspur left it late to beat Birmingham City 2-1 to keep pace with Chelsea at the top. They both have a maximum 12 points with United on nine.
