Newcastle United have inflicted a second straight defeat
on Premier League champions Manchester United with a rousing
3-0 win to leave Manchester City three points clear at the top
of the table.
Demba Ba's first-half strike, the Newcastle talisman's 15th
league goal of the season, a Johan Cabaye free-kick after the
restart and a Phil Jones own goal late on gave Newcastle the
points and they stayed in seventh, a point behind Liverpool.
United's third defeat in 20 matches so far meant they stayed
second on 45 points, only three ahead of third-placed
Tottenham Hotspur, who have a game in hand.
Bolton Wanderers shocked Everton 2-1 away from home to move
off bottom spot to 18th with Chelsea transfer target and
England defender Gary Cahill scoring the winner 12 minutes
from time after Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard had given his
side the lead.
