MAN UNITED CONCEDED top spot to Leicester City, who moved above them on goal difference after a 1-1 draw at home to Tottenham in the Premier League today.

Delle Ali headed in a cross from Nacer Chadli to give Spurs an 81st-minute lead at the King Power Stadium, but within a minute Riyad Mahrez had cut in from the right and curled home his fourth goal of the season to level.

Elsewhere, Callum Wilson plundered a hat-trick as promoted Bournemouth won 4-3 at West Ham United in an incident-packed game to claim a first ever top-flight victory.

Wilson exploited a pair of errors by Aaron Cresswell to score twice in the opening 28 minutes, only for a Mark Noble penalty and a Cheikhou Kouyate rebound to draw West Ham level early in the second period.

But substitute Marc Pugh restored Bournemouth’s lead and Wilson completed his hat-trick from the spot after Carl Jenkinson had been sent off, before Modibo Maiga hit back for West Ham.

Debutant Bakary Sako struck in the 87th minute to give Crystal Palace a 2-1 win at home to Villa, who had been in line for a point after a Pape Souare own goal cancelled out Scott Dann’s header.

Bottom club Sunderland stopped the rot after two straight defeats by drawing 1-1 at home to Swansea City, with Jermain Defoe equalising for the hosts after Bafetimbi Gomis had scored his third goal of the campaign.

Record signing Xherdan Shaqiri created an early goal for Mame Biram Diouf on his Stoke City debut, but his side had to settle for a 1-1 draw at Norwich City due to Russell Martin’s 28th-minute equaliser.

In-form Manchester City go in search of a third straight win at Everton on Sunday, while champions Chelsea, beaten 3-0 at City last weekend, travel to West Bromwich Albion.
