LONDON (AP) — Premier League leader Chelsea left it late to beat Everton 1-0 on Wednesday and maintain its seven-point advantage over Manchester City as the champions won 4-1 at Stoke.
Willian's 89th-minute winner for Chelsea came a minute after a foul on the midfielder led to Everton midfielder Gareth Barry being sent off for a second bookable offense. The victory dashed City's hopes of closing the gap on Chelsea on a night when Sergio Aguero scored twice to end his team's four-game winless run.
Manchester United remains five points behind neighbor City but rose to third with an unconvincing 3-1 victory over Burnley. Southampton dropped to fourth after being held 0-0 by 10-man West Ham.
