Sunday's Recap

Manchester City dominated possession in the first half but went in 1-0 down at the break thanks to Otamendi's own goal. 

Samuel Luckhurst at the Manchester Evening News was not overly impressed with the visitors' defence:

City were level within two minutes of the restart, with Aguero equalising from the penalty spot after a clash between Scott Malone and Sterling.

Leroy Sane then smashed an effort off the crossbar for the visitors off a free-kick before Fernandinho was booked for a dive on the edge of the penalty area.

Huddersfield continued to frustrate City until the visitors' pressure eventually was too much with just six minutes of normal time remaining.

Gabriel Jesus' shot was blocked by Jonas Lossl and rebounded off Sterling and into the back of the net. 

ESPN FC's Jonathan Smith said City had been fortunate:

The goal was a little cruel on a dogged Huddersfield side but secured another win for City, who continue to look like overwhelming favourites for the title.

Meanwhile, Arsenal needed a late penalty from Alexis Sanchez to beat Burnley at Turf Moor and move above north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the table.

The Gunners did not have the best preparation for the game, arriving late due to traffic and without Mesut Ozil due to illness, per Goal's Chris Wheatley:

The hosts defended well throughout the game, but with a minute of normal time remaining, James Tarkowski conceded a penalty for a push on Aaron Ramsey.

Up stepped Sanchez to convert from the spot and give the Gunners all three points. WhoScored.com showed how the Chilean's form has picked up in recent games:

It was disappointment for Burnley though, who have now lost their last three matches against Arsenal on goals in the 90th minute, per Opta:

ESPN FC's Mattias Karen said the result was tough on the hosts:

It is, however, another good result for Arsenal, who have shaken off an inconsistent start to take their place in the top four ahead of tough games against Huddersfield and Manchester United.

The first game of the day saw Southampton pile more misery on Everton with a 4-1 win at St Mary's Stadium. 

Dusan Tadic put the hosts ahead, and although Gylfi Sigurdsson equalised, two second-half headers from Charlie Austin put the Saints in control.

Opta showed how effective the striker has been for the Saints:

Steven Davis then fired home Southampton's fourth to leave the Toffees just two points above the relegation zone.

BBC Sport's Phil McNulty said the club are going backwards under caretaker manager David Unsworth:

There is no doubt Everton are in a real mess at the moment, still without a permanent manager and with just a single win in their last 12 games in all competitions.
