Chelsea recovers to stay 3 points clear of City

Chelsea produced an instant response to its first setback of the Premier League season on Saturday by beating Hull to maintain a three-point leader over Manchester City after the champions won at Leicester, AP reported.
Eden Hazard scored and set up Diego Costa's strike as Chelsea produced a 2-0 victory over Hull, which had Tom Huddlestone sent off between the goals.
City coped again without injured top scorer Sergio Aguero, with Frank Lampard securing the 1-0 victory at bottom-place Leicester. The former Chelsea midfielder's 175th Premier League goal put him level with ex-Arsenal striker Thierry Henry in fourth on the all-time list.
West Ham stayed fourth despite being held 1-1 by Sunderland, but Southampton's decline continued with a 1-0 loss at Burnley. The south-coast side remained fifth despite the fourth successive loss.
