BEIJING, Oct. 20 -- Chelsea romped to a 5-0 win at Middlesbrough, Manchester United thumped West Bromwich Albion 4-0 and Liverpool and Arsenal produced stirring fightbacks to claim home wins over Wigan Athletic and Everton, respectively, on Saturday. The results mean the English Premier League now looks more familiar with the "Big Four" filling the top four slots.
Chelsea's lunchtime demolition job gave the leader 20 points from eight games but Liverpool joined the Blues on the same total after scoring twice in the last 10 minutes against 10-man Wigan to snatch a 3-2 victory.
Arsenal moved up to third on 16 points after netting three second-half goals to record a 3-1 victory against Everton.
United is up to fourth on 14, along with Aston Villa, held goalless at home by Portsmouth, and Hull City, which was hosting West Ham United later yesterday.
Chelsea travelled to Middlesbrough shorn of several injured regulars but went ahead through Salomon Kalou after 14 minutes.
It then cut loose with four goals in 16 minutes early in the second half, starting with another stunning 30-meter shot by Brazilian long-range specialist Juliano Belletti.
A second for Kalou and goals by Frank Lampard and Florent Malouda secured its best away league win for five years.
"From the first moment our football, our movement and passing...that was the best we've played for a long time," Lampard told Sky Sports.
