Recap

League leaders Chelsea may have been without star striker Diego Costa, but as sports writer Dan Levene shared, that didn't stop them on Monday:

The Blues served up one of their best performances of the season so far, running Bournemouth ragged on their way to a 3-0 win.

Pedro had one of his best outings in a Chelsea shirt, scoring twice and continuing his fine form, but team-mate Hazard stole the show with his creative impulses and a goal of his own. The strike was his ninth of the season already, a tally far better than that of most out-and-out strikers.

As shared by Bleacher Report UK, he also made some club history in the process:

Pedro was obviously a happy man:

At Old Trafford, Manchester United continued their fine stretch of form with an easy win over Sunderland. Ibrahimovic got on the scoreboard and also grabbed his first Premier League assist, underlining his solid form late in 2016.

Former England international Gary Lineker couldn't help but crack a joke at Sunderland manager David Moyes, who spent one season with the Red Devils:

Daley Blind and Henrikh Mkhitaryan also got on the scoresheet, while Paul Pogba played one of his best matches for United yet, running the show in midfield. The Frenchman took some time finding his feet after his summer move, but it's no coincidence United's strong play of late has come with the former Juventus man settling in.

Arsenal needed some late magic from Mesut Ozil and Giroud to grab the three points against West Bromwich Albion, who barely gave away any clear chances for 86 minutes but ultimately came up short.

Ben Foster had a stunning game in goal for the visitors, making several key stops and limiting second chances, but he was powerless to deal with the eventual goal. Ozil, who had a rough outing on Monday, fired in a perfect cross, and Giroud battled his way to the ball before heading home.

Per Copa90, the Gunners needed the win, ending a two-match losing streak:

The gap between Arsenal and Chelsea is still nine points, but at least the Gunners keep pace with the leaders.

City didn't have it easy against Hull, either, but some late fireworks ensured the three points for manager Pep Guardiola's men. Yaya Toure opened the score from the penalty spot after 72 minutes, and youngster Kelechi Iheanacho doubled the lead shortly after.

Curtis Davies added an own goal to put the final score on the board.
