Manchester United moved to the top of the Barclays Premier League for the first time this season thanks to Dimitar Berbatov's last-gasp winner against Bolton at the Reebok Stadium.

United, who started with Carlos Tevez up front in place of the injured Wayne Rooney, had chances through Berbatov and Cristiano Ronaldo in the first half while Jussi Jaaskelainen kept out Nemanja Vidic.

Kevin Davies should have given Bolton the win and the game looked set for a draw until the Bulgarian headed home Tevez's cross to move the Red Devils one point clear of Liverpool, who play Everton on Monday.

Chelsea win late too

Chelsea scored twice in the last six minutes as they came from behind to beat strugglers Stoke 2-1 at Stamford Bridge.

Didier Drogba was once again omitted from the squad but his replacement, Salomon Kalou, cleared the bar from six yards from a Frank Lampard cross early on.

Kalou then had an appeal for a penalty turned down by referee Peter Walton, Nicolas Anelka missed a chance just before the break, then Lampard saw a low shot saved by Stoke goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen.

Stoke stunned the hosts on the hour when James Beattie's deft touch found Rory Delap who lifted the ball over Petr Cech to give the Potters the lead.

Chelsea looked doomed but Juliano Belletti's header and Lampard's low drive in injury time gave Luiz Felipe Scolari's side the win.

Villa comeback

Aston Villa also had to come from behind to beat Sunderland 2-1 at the Stadium of Light.

The Black Cats broke the deadlock 14 minutes in when Carlos Edwards' free-kick found Danny Collins at the back post and he headed past a stranded Brad Friedel to register his first goal of the season.

James Milner's controversial goal levelled things on the hour. Ashley Young raced down the right to cross for the former Leeds man who dove to head the ball home but replays showed the ball may have struck his arm.

Young was then given a straight red for a two-footed lunge before Gareth Barry converted a penalty after Paul McShane fouled Gabriel Agbonlahor.

Boro thumped

West Brom moved off the foot of the table by cruising past struggling Middlesbrough 3-0 at the Hawthorns.

Chris Brunt's deflected shot and Robert Koren's brilliant brace put Middlesbrough in more trouble.
