English premier league
Alexis Sanchez's late penalty gave Arsenal a controversial 1-0 win over Burnley, while managerless Everton endured more misery in a 4-1 thrashing at Southampton yesterday. Arsene Wenger's side looked set for a frustrating draw as they entered stoppage-time at Turf Moor, but they snatched full points when James Tarkowski was ruled to have pushed Aaron Ramsey. Sanchez held his nerve to slot home the dramatic late penalty and moments later Arsenal were celebrating a win that lifted them into fourth place in the Premier League. The Gunners are still nine points behind leaders Manchester City, who face Huddersfield at the John Smith's Stadium later on Sunday.
