English Premier League Round-Up
Eto'o Hat-Trick Sinks United
19 January 2014
The win sees Jose Mourinho's men remain in third, but only two points behind leaders Arsenal, while the Red Devils remain seventh, six points adrift of fourth placed Liverpool and a staggering 14 points behind top spot.
Ashley Young nearly put United ahead in the second minute, the winger linked up well with Danny Welbeck before drilling a low effort, which was palmed away by Peter Cech.
Samuel Eto'o gave Chelsea the lead in the 16th minute with a deflected shot from just outside the area, after the striker did well to get past Phil Jones.
Patrice came close to leveling matters in the 27th minute, after the Frenchman dispossessed Branislav Ivanovic, before firing an effort just wide.
Welbeck had a chance to equalise for the visitors in the 37th minute, but the striker's effort from close range was parried away by Cech.
Oscar nearly doubled the Blues lead in the 42nd minute but the midfielder's bicycle kick flew over the bar.
Eto'o doubled Chelsea's advantage in the 45th minute with a finish from close range, following a cross from Gary Cahill.
Eto'o completed his hat-trick in the 48th minute, after Cahill's header was saved by David De Gea, but the Cameroonian was on hand to finish the rebound.
Javier Hernandez pulled one back for the away side in the 78th minute after turning in Phil Jones' shot.
Hernandez came close in the 89th minute but the Mexican's header was directed straight at Cech.

Adebayor Brace Secures Spurs Win
19 January 2014
A brace from Emmanuel Adebayor saw Tottenham Hotspur to a convincing 3-1 win over Swansea in an English Premier League match at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Spurs dominated the early possession stakes, but struggled to break down a stubborn Swansea defence.
Instead, the first chance on goal came at the other end in the 13th minute as Swansea broke on the counter-attack which concluded with Jonjo Shelvey firing a shot on goal from just outside the box, but he saw his effort superbly saved by Hugo Lloris.
Leon Britton was quickest to pounce on the rebound, but he fired wide with the goal at his mercy.
Swansea were at it again in the 25th minute as Wilfried Bony struck the crossbar with a powerful shot after being put through on goal by Shelvey.
Ten minutes later, though, and Swansea found themselves a goal down as Adebayor headed home a Christian Eriksen cross at the back post, 1-0.
A minute after taking the lead, Spurs were unlucky not to find their second goals as Gerhard Tremmel produced a fantastic save to deny Nacer Chadli from just inside the box.
The half ended 1-0.
The start of the second 45 saw Spurs dominating matters and they made their pressure tell seven minutes after the restart as Chico Flores diverted Kyle Walker's cross into his own net, 2-0.
The result was put beyond doubt in the 71st minute as Adebayor found his second of the afternoon, producing a cool finish after Danny Rose had played him into space behind the defence, 3-0.
Swansea did find a consolation goal in the 78th minute after Wilfried Bony guided a low cross into the corner of the net from the edge of the box, 3-1.
It was too little too late for Swansea as Spurs picked up the three points.
