    Chelsea beat.. Nine-man Arsenal


    Kurt Zouma and Eden Hazard gave Chelsea a controversial 2-0 win over nine-man Arsenal on Saturday as the simmering feud between the bitter rivals boiled over with red cards for Gabriel and Santi Cazorla.
     Watford heaped more misery on former England manager Steve McClaren with a 2-1 win at Newcastle while Bournemouth managed their first ever Premier League home win in beating Sunderland 2-0. The acrimonious relationship between Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho and Gunners boss Arsene Wenger seeped through to both teams at Stamford Bridge in a tetchy London derby featuring even more flashpoints than usual. Wenger was furious Mike Dean opted not to send off Diego Costa following a clash with Laurent Koscielny and the referee further infuriated the Frenchman when he dismissed Gabriel for kicking Costa and then showed Cazorla a red card in the second half. "I would not like to be Mike Dean tonight. Costa twice should be sent off," Wenger said. "In every game Costa has aggravation and he gets away with it because of the weakness of the referee." Mourinho's response felt designed to provoke Wenger as he said: "I don't have a view on the sending off. Man of the match for sure was Diego Costa. He brought everything to the game." Odion Ighalo kept Newcastle in the relegation zone as the Nigerian forward's double inspired Watford's 2-1 win at St James' Park. Ighalo gave Watford a 10th minute lead with a low strike and he increased their advantage with his fourth goal in six matches in the 28th minute. Newcastle ended a nearly 500-minute goal drought when Dutch defender Daryl Janmaat netted in the 62nd minute, but McClaren's team were unable to avoid their third consecutive loss. "No-one said this job was going to be easy, we didn't think it would be. We know now this is a tough job," McClaren said. Ten-man Sunderland slipped to the bottom of the table alongside north-east rivals Newcastle after their fourth defeat of the season. Bournemouth, in the top tier for the first time, raced into a two-goal lead inside the first nine minutes, with Callum Wilson striking in the fourth minute before Matt Ritchie smashed in a superb volley. Sunderland's miserable day was completed when French defender Younes Kaboul was sent off for a second booking in the 74th minute. Saido Berahino came in from the cold to fire West Bromwich Albion to a 1-0 win at local rivals Aston Villa. Berahino had threatened to go on strike after Albion refused to sell him to Tottenham on transfer deadline day and was dropped for several matches. draw at Stoke. Former Barcelona forward Bojan Krkic put Stoke ahead in the 13th minute and Jon Walters doubled their lead seven minutes later. But the second-placed Foxes had come from two goals down to beat Aston Villa last week and they reduced the deficit in the 51st minute through Riyad Mahrez's penalty before Jamie Vardy equalised in the 59th minute. Everton's Kevin Mirallas was sent off for a foul on Modou Barrow in the final moments of his side's 0-0 draw at Swansea.
