Premier League champions Manchester City were stunned at home by Crystal Palace yesterday, as Chelsea were beaten by Leicester City...

Needing a victory to keep pace with their rivals in the race for Champions League qualification, spineless Arsenal showed none of the required poise and passion as they crumbled on a woebegone Monday night in south London.

Crystal Palace winger Andros Townsend has replaced Raheem Sterling in the England squad after the Manchester City forward withdrew due to an unspecified injury, the Football Association announced on Monday.

Andros Townsend scored one goal and made another as Crystal Palace inflicted a crushing 4-1 defeat upon winless Stoke City in the Premier League on Sunday.
