Tottenham piled on the misery for north London rivals Arsenal as Kyle Walker’s long-range strike clinched a 2-1 win, while Frank Lampard hit a hat-trick in Chelsea’s 5-1 victory at Bolton on Sunday.Harry Redknapp’s side condemned the Gunners to their fourth defeat in seven Premier League games this season after Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny failed to deal with Walker’s swerving 30-yard effort in the 73rd minute at White Hart Lane.
Sixth-placed Spurs had taken the lead through Rafael van der Vaart’s cool finish in the 40th minute, although the Dutch midfielder appeared to use the upper part of his arm to control Emmanuel Adebayor’s pass prior to the goal.The game was all but over when Johnson scored again in the 38th minute and he earned his treble with a fierce effort in the 59th minute.
Clint Dempsey got the fifth six minutes later and Bobby Zamora sealed the rout in the closing stages.
“We had injuries and we were at sixes and sevens at the back and it showed. They cut through us like a knife through butter,” QPR boss Neil Warnock said.
Swansea striker Danny Graham scored his first goal for the club as Brendan Rodgers’ side beat Stoke 2-0 at the Liberty Stadium.
Scott Sinclair opened the scoring with a ninth minute penalty after the former Chelsea winger was brought down by Ryan Shawcross.
Then Graham, who cost a club record 3.5 million pounds from Watford in pre-season, put the result beyond doubt when he lifted his shot over Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic in the 85th minute
