Chelsea beat United to inch closer to title, Leicester win again

A first-half goal from Eden Hazard took Chelsea another giant step closer to the Premier League title as they beat Manchester United 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.

Jose Mourinho's Blues are now 10 points clear of second-placed Arsenal thanks to Belgium international Hazard, who rounded off a neat move with a fine finish after 38 minutes.

Louis van Gaal's United dominated possession for large spells, but were unable to find a way through as Chelsea defended stoutly.

But they could have opened the scoring when Wayne Rooney, found by a Luke Shaw pass, curled an effort narrowly wide from 18 yards.

Hazard came close to scoring his second goal of the game after the break when an improvised effort from close range came back off the crossbar.

Leicester kept up their hopes of Premier League survival with their third win in three games as they beat Swansea 2-0 at home.

Leonardo Ulloa, a late starter due to an injury for David Nugent in the warm-up, hammered the ball into the bottom corner after Wes Morgan's knock down in the 15th minute to score his first since January.

The Foxes had to wait until the last minute to make the game safe as Lukasz Fabianski flapped at a free kick and Andy King slotted home to ensure they are only in the relegation zone on goal difference.

Southampton failed to leapfrog Liverpool into fifth place, as they were beaten 2-1 by Stoke.

Southampton took the lead as Steven Davis' corner was headed back across goal by Jose Fonte, and Morgan Schneiderlin was on hand to poke home at the back post in the 22nd minute.

After the break, Stoke were quickly level as Mame Biram Diouf took advantage in the 47th minute. Steven Nzonzi's sliced shot came back off the bar and Diouf finished smartly past goalkeeper Kelvin Davis.

Substitute Charlie Adam then gave the Potters all three points as the midfielder controlled well after a scramble in the box and lashed home in the 84th minute.

Burnley fell deeper into relegation trouble as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at Everton.

Everton went ahead as Kevin Mirallas smashed into the net from close range in the 29th minute after Arouna Kone failed to control Seamus Coleman's low cross.

Tom Heaton kept them in the game by saving a Ross Barkley penalty but, just before half-time, Ashley Barnes made the task harder as he was sent off for a second bookable offence after bringing Coleman down.

West Brom halted Crystal Palace's recent good run with a 2-0 win at Selhurst Park that aids their fight against relegation.

West Brom took an early lead as James Morrison headed home Chris Brunt's corner inside two minutes. The Baggies kept Palace at bay until half-time and, after the break, Craig Gardner fired a stunning 25-yard drive past Julian Speroni in the 53rd minute to double the lead.

Glenn Murray's airshot then found Dwight Gayle four yards out, but his diving header went over the bar and Palace could not get back into the game despite Yaya Sanago having a goal ruled out for offside.
