Premier League Review: Arsenal Maintains League Lead, Leicester In Barren Draw, United Is Back & More

Man City left it late to hit a late double against Watford, Odion Ighalo's scoring power was caged by City's defence, Arsenal needed Koscielny to keep them on top of the league, United & Rooney returned to winning ways.

Koscielny's goal saw Arsenal pull two points clear of second-place Leicester City at the Premier League summit on Saturday, while Wayne Rooney scored a milestone winner for Manchester United.

Koscielny stabbed home a flick-on from France teammate Olivier Giroud in the 72nd minute at a rain-lashed Emirates Stadium to earn a below-par Arsenal a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United.

Premier League Round Up: Man City On Top As Jurgen Klopp Draws Again

Manchester City returned to the Premier League summit after a 0-0 draw against arch rivals Manchester United, while Jurgen Klopp was dramatically denied his first win as Liverpool boss in a 1-1 draw with Southampton.

A forgettable 170th Manchester derby yielded only two shots on target at Old Trafford, but that was enough to return City to the top of the table on goal difference above Arsenal, with United two points back in fourth place.

Manuel Pellegrini's City could point to the absence of injured duo Sergio Aguero and David Silva, which partly explained why their attack ran dry after a flood of 11 goals in two league games.
