Premier League leaders Arsenal suffered a comedown from their midweek Champions League win over AC Milan as they were held to a 0-0 draw at strugglers Wigan Athletic on Sunday.

The Londoners have 66 points from 29 games, United 64 from 28 and Chelsea 58 from 27.

Arsenal, drawing for the third successive game in the league, were far from their fluent best and created few clear openings. Emmanuel Adebayor and Cesc Fabregas wasted their best chances.

Andrew Johnson's second-half goal secured Everton a 1-0 win at Sunderland to stay firmly in the hunt for a Champions League place.

Johnson bundled in Mikael Arteta's cross after 55 minutes to increase the relegation worries for Sunderland who remain in 16th place, two points above the drop zone.

Tottenham Hotspur increased the pressure on under-fire West Ham United manager Alan Curbishley after handing the east London [Images] side a third successive 4-0 defeat with Bulgaria striker Dimitar Berbatov netting twice at White Hart Lane.

Gilberto and Darren Bent were also on target for Spurs.

West Ham had Luis Boa Morte sent off just before halftime for a second booking.
