LONDON -- Andre Schuerrles hat trick sent Chelsea four points clear at the top of the English Premier League with a 3-1 victory at Fulham, capitalizing on
Arsenal losing at Stoke on Saturday.
Kenny Britt
Jersey . Chelsea took until the second half to trouble the leagues bottom
team, but Schuerrle then ripped through the defence with ease at Craven Cottage
to keep Jose Mourinhos side on track for the title. Having not won on seven
previous visits to Stoke, Arsenal came unstuck again as Jonathan Walters
clinched a 1-0 victory from the penalty spot. Liverpool moved ahead of Arsenal
on goal difference into second by winning 3-0 at Southampton in the late game.
Manchester City dropped to fourth but it was only six points from the top with
two games in hand, and could collect its first piece of silverware of the season
against Sunderland in the League Cup final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday. In the
days biggest controversy, Football Association officials will be investigating
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew, who was sent off for appearing to head-butt Hull
midfielder David Meyler. The touchline altercation overshadowed Newcastles 4-1
victory at Hull. Everton recovered from back-to-back league losses by beating
West Ham 1-0 and returning to sixth place. After Chelsea made the short trip to
Fulham, Mourinho was so annoyed at a poor first-half display that he wouldnt
speak to his players during the break. The silent treatment was motivation
enough, and the team was transformed, with the opener coming seven minutes into
the new half. From inside his own half, Eden Hazard picked out Schuerrle, who
headed the ball past Dan Burn, ran forward and slotted into the net. Schuerrle
was on the end again when Hazard slipped the ball through in the 65th and the
Germany midfielder scored. Torres was the creator for the third, with Schuerrle
scoring again with ease in the 68th. Fulham came alive again in the closing
stages, but all the team could produce was Johnny Heitinga tapping into an open
net. At St. James Park, Newcastle wrapped up the victory before halftime with
two goals from Moussa Sissoko and another from Loic Remy. But the real drama
unfolded in the 72nd minute with the dismissal of Pardew, who faces a touchline
ban. The apparent head-butt happened after Meyler barged into Pardew as he
looked to retrieve the ball for a throw-in at KC Stadium. "He was right on top
of me and I wanted to just ease him away from me but obviously I put my head in
a forward motion," Pardew said. "I want to apologize." On the south coast, a
fourth straight league win maintained Liverpools unexpected title push. Strikes
from Luis Suarez and Raheem Sterling, and a late penalty by Steven Gerrard
pushed Liverpool above Arsenal into second. The Britannia Stadium proved
unwelcome territory for another leading team, as Stoke followed up wins over
Chelsea and Manchester United, and a draw against City, by seeing off Arsenal.
The breakthrough came with around 15 minutes to go when Laurent Koscielny was
penalized for a handball and Walters scored from the spot to clinch Stokes
second win in 11 league games. "It is not slightly worrying -- it is a big worry
for us to lose a game like that," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said. "It is a
massive setback."

try to put an end to their first losing skid of the season when they pay a visit
to the Maryland Terrapins at the Comcast Center on Monday night in Atlantic
Coast Conference action.BALTIMORE -- The AL-East leading Baltimore Orioles
fortified their bullpen Thursday, obtaining Andrew Miller from the Boston Red
Sox for minor league left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. Miller provides the Orioles
another solid left-hander among a crop of relievers that has flourished this
season, led by Darren ODay (3-1, 1.10 ERA) and lefty Zach Britton (3-2, 1.65
ERA, 21 saves). "With the two really talented left-handed relievers at the end
of the game, along with Darren ODay, it gives us a very, very formidable backend
of the bullpen," Orioles vice-president of baseball operations Dan Duquette
said. The 29-year-old Miller has a 2.34 ERA in 50 appearances with the
last-place Red Sox, who unloaded several of their veterans Thursday before the
end of the non-waiver trade deadline. Miller has limited left-handed hitters to
a .150 batting average and kept righties to a .180 average in 150 plate
appearances. He was expected to be in uniform for Baltimore on Friday against
Seattle. "Millers emergence this year, being able to get out right-handers along
with lefties, made him very attractive," Duquette said. "Not just to us. We
ended up getting him, but there were a lot of other clubs that were in the
market for left-handed relievers. His capabilities and his performance this year
really distinguished himself from any other players in that position in the
market." Duquette liked the Orioles starting rotation and didnt want to give up
a playyer on the current 25-man roster, so adding Miller appeared to be just the
right move.

Rams Jersey. "This is one area where we could strengthen our club without
giving up an asset on the current team," Duquette said. Since becoming a
full-time reliever in 2012, Miller has a 2.78 ERA in 140 games while averaging
13.3 strikeouts per nine innings. His contract expires after this season, so
theres a chance he wont be with the Orioles beyond this year. "We know Andy
Miller is going to be a free agent," Showalter said. "We think he can impact our
ability to make the playoffs. Were willing to take that risk." The 21-year-old
Rodriguez is 3-7 with a 4.79 ERA in 16 starts with Double-A Bowie this year. "Im
not excited about losing Eduardo, but youve got to give up quality to get
quality," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "Its a tribute to our farm system
that we could sign and develop someone that brought Andrew." Duquette said, "We
hated to give up a young left-handed pitcher. We tried a lot of other
combinations short of Eduardo Rodriguez, but in this case it was required to
make the deal. " Although Miller isnt necessarily a huge name, he comes to the
Orioles on a day their division opponents lost star pitchers Jon Lester (Boston
to Oakland), John Lackey (Boston to St. Louis) and David Price (Tampa Bay to
Detroit). "Im hoping we play well enough to see them again," Showalter said.
