EPL: Chelsea come from behind to beat Southampton

The Hammers move into fifth in the EPL with a comfortable 1-0 victory at Upton Park
–  Leicester pull five points clear at the top with a late goal
–  Stoke send Aston Villa closer to relegation
–  Watford in a stalemate

reviews week 27 of the EPL. Leicester pull five points clear of Tottenham on top of the league to continue their incredible Premier League title challenge while Chelsea came from behind to record another valuable win to move them higher up the table.
Stoke City made Villa’s Premier League survival an uphill battle and Antonio gave Sam Allardyce a miserable homecoming. The Sunderland and ex-West Ham manager, Sam Allardyce, was given a miserable homecoming to his old stomping ground by Michail Antonio’s first half strike.
Antonio’s solo strike ensured an unhappy return for the former Hammer boss and helped the east Londoners climb into fifth position in the EPL.
West Ham could have made it more comfortable but for Mark Noble’s and Andy Carroll’s efforts hitting the cross-bar.
Antonio’s decisive goal, his fifth in 19 games, came on the half-hour mark. After out muscling Patrick van Aanholt, he drove inside before curling a low drive into the far corner.
Sunderland remain second bottom and in deep danger of relegation with time running out. Leicester 1-0 Norwich
The Premier League leaders left it late but eventually prevailed with a huge three points to move five points clear at the helm, keeping their incredible title charge on course.
The home side did not let the two weeks of dormancy since their defeat at the Emirates hinder their progress, with Ulloa’s late strike the difference between the two sides.
Norwich wasted two glorious opportunities in the first half that could have changed the course of the match and helped their battle against relegation but they showed enough fight and determination.
Leonardo Ulloa gave Leicester the last laugh and a huge sigh of relief when he fired home a superb goal from Marc Albrighton’s low cross.
