"Arsenal rises to first place in the Premier League" (6 VIDEOS) © EuroFootball.com

On Saturday, sixteenth round matches took place in the English Premier League, while the "Blackpool" - "Man Utd" match was postponed due to very poor weather conditions.

A fantastic performance by Samir Nasri helped London's "Arsenal" footballers defeat their neighbor "Fulham" team 2-1 in front of their own fans and rise to the top of the league table.

However, the "Red Devils" are just one point behind the "Gunners" and have played one less game.

London's "Chelsea" eleven continues to not experience the joy of victories, this time failing to beat Liverpool's "Everton" team at home - 1-1.

It is worth noting that last season the "Blues" lost five points at the "Stamford Bridge" stadium - as much as in less than half of this season.

In other matches, "Man City" defeated "Bolton" footballers by a minimal result of 1-0, while the match between "Birmingham" and London's "Tottenham" ended in a 1-1 draw.
