Premier League: Sunday's matches - in pictures

West Brom v Liverpool In the day's early kick-off, Daniel Sturridge gave Liverpool the lead when he side-footed home at the far post from Luis Suárez's cross in the 24th minute. It was his 14th league strike of the season, and suspicions that he was offside were unwarranted Photograph: Carl Recine/Action Images

West Brom's goalkeeper Ben Foster was in fine form. At one stage he saved adroitly at the feet of Suárez Photograph: Carl Recine/Action Images

In the 67th minute, West Bromwich Albion's Victor Anichebe swept home an equaliser after being gifted possession on the edge of the box by Liverpool defender Kolo Touré Photograph: Nick Potts/PA

Touré's pass across the defensive line was utterly thoughtless, and the Ivorian rightly reproached himself for it. It cost Liverpool two points and meant they could only pull two points clear of fifth-placed Everton. Final score: 1-1 Photograph: Carl Recine/Action Images

Arsenal v Crystal Palace Palace arrived at the Emirates in resurgent form, and they had in their starting line-up former Gunner Marouane Chamakh (pictured, right) Photograph: GERRY PENNY/EPA

In the 47th minute, Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain broke the deadlock. The 20-year-old, who had been out for months with a knee injury, lifted the ball calmy over Julian Speroni when played through by Santi Cazorla Photograph: Adam Davy/PA

But when Oxlade-Chamberlain bagged his and Arsenal's second goal after a one-two with Olivier Giroud in the 73rd minute, the game was up Photograph: Mike Hewitt/Getty Images

Arsenal's 2-0 win moves them two points clear of Manchester City, who face Chelsea on Monday. Final score: 2-0 Photograph: Sang Tan/AP
