Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson said it took an "apoplectic" half-time team talk from assistant boss Ray Lewington to spark them into life in Monday's draw with Leicester.
Anwar El Ghazi scored his fifth goal in as many games as Aston Villa came from behind to earn a point against Chelsea in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge.
Arsenal are now in a "different world", according to manager Mikel Arteta, after they recorded back-to-back league wins for the first time since September by beating Brighton.
Burnley's recent Premier League improvement continued as they edged to a narrow victory over bottom side Sheffield United at Turf Moor.
Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhüttl said attempting to manage from home was "horrible" after his side were held at home by West Ham.
West Brom manager Sam Allardyce says an embarrassing 5-0 defeat by Leeds United shows he has a "tougher challenge" to keep his new club up than he thought.
Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford says it would be "stupid" to think about winning the Premier League title at the moment despite his injury-time goal against Wolverhampton Wanderers moving the Red Devils up to second in the table.
Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp said his side's position in the table is "the last thing" he is thinking about after they drew at Newcastle to finish 2020 three points clear at the top of the Premier League.
