Champions Manchester United went top of the Premier League on Sunday, but only by a point after being held to a 0-0 draw by Newcastle United at Old Trafford.Both sides rued decisions by referee Paul Durkin, with Newcastle skipper Alan Shearer having a solid penalty appeal turned down in the first half and United’s France defender Mikael Silvestre having a goal disallowed in the second.But the draw was good news for both Arsenal, who had been overnight leaders on alphabetical order, and Chelsea, who hammered Leicester City 4-0 earlier on Sunday and reduced the gap separating them from United to five points.Chelsea’s Dutch striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink claimed two in the first half, Romanian substitute Adrian Mutu ended a two-month goal drought in the 88th minute and Nigeria defender Celestine Babayaro rifled in their fourth in stoppage time.
