Surprise Premier League leaders Leicester City go into the Christmas period at the top of the table after their 11th win in 17 matches. Two penalties from Riyad Mahrez and a fine finish from Shinji Okazaki helped the Foxes to a 3-2 win over Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday. Elsewhere, relegation-threatened Norwich secured a shock 2-1 victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford, while Chelsea eased to a 3-1 win over Sunderland in their first game since Jose Mourinho’s ouster. Mourinho was sacked on Thursday and Dutchman Guus Hiddink appointed as interim manager. In other games: Tottenham beat Southampton 2-0, Crystal Palace overcame Stoke City 2-1, Newcastle drew 1-1 with Aston Villa, and Bournemouth continued their unbeaten run with a 2-1 win over West Brom.
