Chelsea stormed to a 7-2 victory over Sunderland to remain a point clear at the top of the Premier League as champion Manchester United beat Burnley 3-0 on Saturday. Frank Lampard and Nicolas Anelka both scored twice for Chelsea. Second-place United took until the second half to get going against Burnley, with Dimitar Berbatov, Wayne Rooney and Mame Biram Diouf eventually hitting second-half goals at Old Trafford.
But it was a frustrating day for Liverpool, which conceded a 90th-minute equaliser to draw 1-1 at Stoke, and Tottenham, which was held 0-0 by Hull.
