LONDON, Dec. 12 (Xinhua) -- Manchester United and Manchester City disappointed as the Manchester derby ended in a dull 0-0 draw at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.

David de Gea did well to deny Riyad Mahrez who was clean through on goal in the best chance of the game, while at the other end United were denied a penalty when VAR decided that Kyle Walker's clip on Marcus Rashford was just outside of the penalty area.

Gylfi Sigurdsson's 22nd minute penalty gave Everton a 1-0 win at home to Chelsea, inflicting the first defeat on the visitors in 13 games in all competitions.

Chelsea hit the woodwork through Reece James and Mason Mount, but Everton rode their luck and defended well to show once again just how unpredictable the Premier League is this season.

Anwar El Ghazi's penalty late into injury-time gave Aston Villa a 1-0 win in the Midlands derby away to Wolves.

The penalty came after a Nelson Semedo foul and Wolves' afternoon got even worse in the 95th minute of the game when Joao Moutinho was sent off after seeing a second yellow card.

Newcastle United further deepened West Brom's problems as they beat the strugglers 2-1 at St James' Park.

Miguel Almiron scored the quickest top-flight goal of this season when he put Newcastle ahead after just 20 seconds.

Darnell Furlong volleyed West Brom level five minutes into the second half, but Dwight Gayle's 80th minute header ensured the points stayed in Newcastle to leave the visitors second from bottom.

The round of games began on Friday with West Ham continuing their excellent season with a 2-1 win away to Leeds United thanks to goals from Tomas Soucek and Angelo Ogbonna that overturned Mateusz Klich's fifth minute penalty for Leeds. Enditem
