Southampton have gone third in the Premier League with a 1-0 win away to Manchester United.

Dusan Tadic got the game's only goal as the Saints leapfrog today's hosts in the table.

The goal came 21 minutes from the end, and leaves Southampton two points clear of United.

Meanwhile, Arsenal rose to fifth in the Premier League following a 3-0 defeat of Stoke at the Emirates.

Alexis Sanchez scored twice, adding to Laurent Koscielny's opener for Arsene Wenger's side.

Arsenal go into next weekend's crunch clash with Manchester City just outside the top four places after their comfortable win.

Today's results see Southampton eight points behind second-placed City, who are just two points behind leaders Chelsea.
