John Terry headed Chelsea to a 1-0 victory over Manchester United to extend the team's Premier League lead to five points Sunday, despite rarely threatening the defending champion. Chelsea had been frustrated by United for 76 minutes, but then profited from a contentiously awarded free kick when United midfielder Darren Fletcher was judged to have fouled defender Ashley Cole. Frank Lampard whipped the ball into the penalty area and captain Terry connected with a glancing header to clinch Chelsea's 11th consecutive win in all competitions at Stamford Bridge. Despite United having most of the possession, lone striker Wayne Rooney struggled to test Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech and Alex Ferguson's team, along with Arsenal, now find itself five points adrift of the pacesetter going into the two-week international break. Also Sunday, Everton won 2-1 at West Ham, Hull defeated Stoke 2-1 and Fulham drew 1-1 with Wigan. Louis Saha and Dan Gosling scored Everton's goals to leave West Ham in the relegation zone. Hull's victory eased the pressure on manager Phil Brown. Matthew Etherington had put Stoke in front, but Seyi Olofinjana leveled after the break and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink struck in the final minute after Stoke's Abdoulaye Faye was sent off. Fulham earned a point at Wigan after Clint Dempsey was brought down by Titus Bramble and then scored from the resulting penalty kick. Valencia routs Zaragoza First-half goals steered Valencia to a 3-1 win over Zaragoza Sunday, while Sporting Gijon and Athletic Bilbao also picked up victories to maintain their strong early season form in Spain. Valencia thus moved into third in the standings with 21 points. Meanwhile, Sporting edged Espanyol 1-0 and Bilbao beat Racing Santander 2-0 for both winning teams to move onto 16 points. Sporting is seventh, one place above Bilbao. Mate Bilic scored Sporting's winner, redirecting a shot by teammate Diego Castro in the third minute. Bilbao's Carlos Gurpegui headed home from a free kick in the 31st minute and Andoni Iraola converted a 75th minute penalty to put pressure on Santander coach Juan Carlos Mandia with his team lying 17th the standings. Almeria beat Osasuna 2-0. Xerez hung on for a 0-0 draw at Valladolid. In a late match, Sevilla edged Villarreal 3-2. Barcelona leads with 26 points and Madrid has 25. Eto'o earns Inter draw Samuel Eto'o earned Serie A leaders Inter Milan a 1-1 draw with AS Roma at the San Siro Sunday, while its city rivalsAC Milan climbed to third with a 2-1 win at troubled Lazio. The Cameroon forward controlled a Thiago Motta pass, spun around and drove home a diagonal strike just after the break to cancel out Mirko Vucinic's first-half goal.
