Gunners scale Premier League summit

AFP, LONDON: Arsenal took over at the Premier League summit on Saturday, while Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was sent to the stands as his side crashed to defeat at West Ham United.
Buoyed by their mid-week win over Bayern Munich in the Champions League, Arsenal defeated Everton 2-1 to usurp previous leaders Manchester City, who visit Manchester United on Sunday in the Manchester derby.
But floundering champions Chelsea were left 11 points off the pace in 15th place after Mourinho, his assistant Silvino Louro and midfielder Nemanja Matic were dismissed in a 2-1 loss at Upton Park. Since the start of the month Arsenal have been a team transformed, beating United and Watford 3-0 before brilliantly overcoming Bayern, and they have now won four successive games in the league.
