BURNLEY, England (Reuters): Liverpool moved clear at the top of the Premier League with a hard-fought 2-1 win over West Ham United, while Chelsea and Manchester City also enjoyed victories on Saturday.

Chelsea cruised to a 3-0 scoreline at winless Burnley while City edged Sheffield United 1-0 away with full back Kyle Walker scoring against his former club.

Liverpool are top on 16 points, three more than local rivals Everton who visit Newcastle United on Sunday.

Wolverhampton Wanderers, who beat Crystal Place 2-0 on Friday, are third, also on 13 points, while Chelsea have moved up to fourth, level with Aston Villa and Leicester City on 12.

Juergen Klopp’s Liverpool side still look far from their best but will be encouraged that they extended their unbeaten home tally to a club record-equalling 63 games despite being below par and missing several regular starters.

Chelsea showed no signs of tiredness from their successful midweek Champions League trip to Krasnodar in Russia as they added to bottom club Burnley’s growing troubles.
