Chelsea, Liverpool march on as Ronaldo lifts United in Premier League action

LONDON (AFP) - Chelsea's drive to reclaim the Premier League title gathered pace on Saturday with a 2-0 win at Stoke extending their unbeaten start to life under Luiz Felipe Scolari to eight matches.

The win lifted Scolari's men back to the top of the table, at least for a couple of hours before Arsenal's late kick-off match at home to Hull.

A Fernando Torres double ensured Liverpool returned to winning ways, comfortably overcoming ten-man Everton 2-0 in the Merseyside derby to match Chelsea's return of four wins and two draws from their opening six games.

It was also business as usual from champions Manchester United, who climbed into the top half of the table for the first time this season with a 2-0 win at home to Bolton in which Cristiano Ronaldo opened his league account.

But there was no relief for Newcastle's long-suffering supporters. A 2-1 home defeat by Blackburn leaves the Magpies mired in the relegation zone and underlined the scale of the task facing interim manager Joe Kinnear, who is due to take charge from Monday.

Chelsea were put on track to victory by right-back Jose Bosingwa. The Portugal defender demonstrated the finishing touch of a seasoned striker as he fired in his first goal for the club from an acute angle ten minutes before half-time.

Nicolas Anelka then made sure of the points with just under quarter of an hour left.

Liverpool -- who surrendered top spot when they were held at home by Stoke last weekend -- reasserted their title credentials with their derby victory.

Fernando Torres's second half double at Goodison Park sealed the points long before Everton had Australian midfielder Tim Cahill sent off for a studs-up challenge on Xabi Alonso.

The challenge was undeniably reckless but Everton manager David Moyes did not believe it merited a red card and will ask referee Mike Riley to rescind it.

At Old Trafford, Ronaldo made it two goals in as many games with a 60th-minute penalty that he won himself with what the Bolton defenders insisted was a blatant dive.

Wayne Rooney then added his first goal for United since April to make sure of the points with 13 minutes left.

Aston Villa's fine start to the season continued with a 2-1 win over Sunderland keeping Martin O'Neill's side in fourth.

Djibril Cisse's tenth-minute opener for Sunderland was quickly cancelled out when Ashley Young found the net from a 25-yard free-kick.

John Carew's deft back-heel finish then put Villa in front and that was the way the match finished.

West Ham made it two league wins out of two for new manager Gianfranco Zola with a 2-1 win at London rivals Fulham, who completely imploded in the space of four mad minutes at the end of opening period.

After conceding goals to Carlton Cole and Matt Etherington in quick succession, Roy Hodgson's side were reduced to ten men after Andy Johnson received a second yellow card for a reckless challenge in first half stoppage time.

A Danny Murphy penalty gave Fulham hope but West Ham were able to close out the match against tiring opponents.

First-half headers from Christopher Samba and Roque Santa Cruz left Paul Ince's Blackburn cruising at St James' Park.

Newcastle were given some hope when Michael Owen converted a 51st-minute penalty after he had been brought down by New Zealander Ryan Nelsen. But the home side were unable to conjure up an equaliser.

A close-range strike from Swedish defender Jonas Olsson was enough to earn West Brom a 1-0 win at Middlesbrough, the club their manager Tony Mowbray served for most of his playing career. It was the Baggies' first away win since they reclaimed their place in the top flight.
