Leicester City twice came from behind to deny Manchester United a record-equalling 11th consecutive away win in the Premier League on Saturday.
Aston Villa's impressive progress from relegation strugglers to the top six is down to the "maturity" of the players, says boss Dean Smith.
Fulham and Southampton played out a goalless draw in a hard-fought Premier League encounter at Craven Cottage.
A rejuvenated Arsenal recorded an important victory over Chelsea to end their seven-game run without a win in the Premier League and ease the pressure on boss Mikel Arteta.
Manchester City secured their customary home win over Newcastle as İlkay Gündoğan and Ferran Torres scored the goals that moved them up to fifth in the Premier League.
Everton moved up to second in the Premier League after edging a tight contest against Sheffield United at rain-lashed Bramall Lane.
Leeds bounced back from their heavy defeat at Old Trafford with a hard-earned victory over Burnley at Elland Road.
Tomáš Souček scored a late equaliser as West Ham came from behind to rescue a point against struggling Brighton.
Semi Ajayi scored a dramatic late equaliser against leaders Liverpool to earn struggling West Brom their first point since Sam Allardyce took charge.
Romain Saïss produced a header that watching Wolves team-mate Raúl Jiménez would have been proud of to deny Tottenham victory at Molineux, and a place in the top-four.
