United come from behind to beat Hull
Rooney chalks up his 150th Premier League goal for the Red Devils as they continue their surge
Manchester United recovered from conceding two early goals and were then gifted a 3-2 win over Hull City on Saturday night to continue their recent Premier League surge.
Forced to battle back from going 2-0 down within 15 minutes, they did so with Chris Smalling's header, a Christmas cracker from Wayne Rooney and James Chester's own goal.
It was rough on former United player Chester who had shot Hull in front after four minutes, but a festive boost for the champions who despite not playing well showed their old knack of turning around unpromising situations.
Theo Walcott's double fired Arsenal back to the top as the Gunners got their title challenge back on track with a 3-1 victory at West Ham. Carlton Cole opened the scoring for lowly West Ham after the break but Walcott struck twice before Lucas Podolski wrapped up a first win in four league games for Arsenal.
Eden Hazard's goal was enough for Chelsea to secure a 1-0 home win against Swansea City and move into second place.
We are fighting hard and hopefully we can surprise some people now
Christmas leaders Liverpool would go back top on goal difference if they won at Manchester City in the later game.
