The Manchester and London derbies dominated weekend action in the English Premier League. In London, Chelsea's performance at home is becoming a real worry for Luiz Felipe Scolari, as Robin van Persie's second-half double earned Arsenal a victory that keeps them in the title chase. In the Manchester Derby, United got revenge for two league defeats by City last season, despite having winger Cristiano Ronaldo sent off for a deliberate handball in the second half. Meanwhile, Portsmouth overcome Blackburn 3-2. Everton edged past Tottenham Hotspur.
