Gareth Barry struck in stoppage time Saturday to ensure Manchester City kept the pressure on Manchester United in the Premier League title race with 1-0 victory over Reading.

The defending champions were being frustrated by bottom-place Reading until Barry rose over Nicky Shorey to head in David Silva's cross.

City is three points behind United ahead of the leaders' match at Swansea on Sunday.

Arsenal put five goals past Reading on Monday, and the resurgent London side produced a third consecutive win when Mikel Arteta's penalty clinched a 1-0 victory at Wigan.

Arsenal rose to third, ahead of Everton, Tottenham and West Bromwich Albion on goal difference.

Everton won 2-1 at West Ham, Tottenham was held to a 0-0 draw by Stoke and West Brom beat Norwich 2-1.
