No stopping Man United as Liverpool struggle

LONDON, Oct 14 (Reuters) Premier League leaders Manchester United put the pressure on champions Chelsea by coming from a goal down to trounce Wigan Athletic 3-1 today.

With Chelsea playing Reading in the day's late kickoff, United set the pace by moving three points clear of both Portsmouth and Jose Mourinho's men with an impressive second half display.

Goals by Serbian defender Nemanja Vidic, French striker Louis Saha and Norwegian forward Ole Gunnar Solskjaer turned around the game at the JJB Stadium after Wigan left back Leighton Baines had opened the scoring from 25 metres.

Arsenal captain Thierry Henry scored one and made another as they beat Watford 3-0, while Liverpool were spared defeat at Anfield by a Craig Bellamy equaliser against his old club in a 1-1 draw.

Aston Villa striker Juan Pablo Angel missed a penalty and scored an own goal in the space of three minutes in their 1-1 draw with 10-man Tottenham Hotspur, Portsmouth beat struggling West Ham United 2-0 and Middlesbrough edged Everton 2-1.
