Newcastle boss Steve Bruce said a pressure-relieving win over Everton came from a "braver" approach crowned by Callum Wilson's double.
Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze continued his excellent debut season in the Premier League and added to Wolves' troubles with the only goal at Selhurst Park.
Pep Guardiola said his Manchester City players were "fighting like animals" after the Premier League leaders beat bottom club Sheffield United to record a club-record 12th successive victory.
West Bromwich Albion boss Sam Allardyce says his side playing "too much complex football" was the reason they were so poor in the first half of the draw against fellow strugglers Fulham.
Manchester United dropped points for the third time in four Premier League games with this goalless draw against an under-strength Arsenal side at Emirates Stadium.
Ross Barkley headed the winner as Aston Villa reignited their European hopes with victory over Southampton in the Premier League in an entertaining tussle at St Mary's.
Emphatic finishes from César Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso gave Thomas Tuchel his first victory as Chelsea head coach against a below-par Burnley.
Patrick Bamford had a role in all three goals as Leeds United fought back to beat Leicester - but revealed he was "fuming" after removing himself as captain in his fantasy football team.
Mohamed Salah scored for the first time in seven Premier League games with a brilliant double at West Ham United to help Liverpool move up to third in the table.
Brighton boss Graham Potter said the Seagulls produced their best performance for two years as they beat Tottenham to go seven points clear of the Premier League bottom three.
