Arsenal came from behind to record a 3-1 win over Stoke City at the Emirates and move to the top of the Premier League.
Arsene Wenger's side extend their unbeaten run to 14 Premier League matches and move ahead of Chelsea, who face West Brom at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, at the top of the table on goals scored .
Stoke took the lead after half an hour through Charlie Adam's penalty, awarded for a Granit Xhaka elbow into the face of Joe Allen, but Theo Walcott levelled matters on 42 minutes with his seventh Premier League goal of the season from Hector Bellerin's cross.
Mesut Ozil netted with a rare header from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's ball over the top four minutes into the second half, then Alex Iwobi wrapped up the scoring on 75 minutes with a curling shot beyond Stoke goalkeeper Lee Grant from Alexis Sanchez's pass.
Burnley move up to 13th in the Premier League table, five points clear of the relegation zone, after a 3-2 home win over Bournemouth.
Ireland midfielder Jeff Hendrick gave the Clarets a sensational lead on 13 minutes with a volley on the bounce from goalkeeper Tom Heaton's kick, then his international colleague Stephen Ward made it 2-0 with a tap-in from close range three minutes later, after Artur Boruc could only block Ben Mee's header.
It was the Dubliner's first Premier League goal since January 2012, 1804 days ago, but his hopes of a clean-sheet bonus were dashed in first-half injury-time as an unmarked Benik Afobe drilled home Simon Francis' cross from the right flank.
George Boyd made it 3-1 on 75 minutes from Andre Gray's backheel, but Charlie Daniels made it a nervy last few minutes for the Turf Moor crowd with a brilliant consolation for the Cherries.
Hull and Crystal Palace wowed the crowd at KCOM Stadium with six goals in a Hollywood-style thriller in the Premier League.
A Robert Snodgrass penalty gave the Tigers the lead, before a Christian Benteke penalty levelled matters after the break.
Wilfried Zaha then pushed Palace ahead before Adama Diomande levelled matters once more for the home side. Jake Livermore thought he had won it for Hull before a late equaliser from Frazier Campbell ensured a share of the spoils for Palace.
The points sees Palace consolidate their mid-table positioning in 15th, while Hull remain rooted in the bottom three in 19th.
Snodgrass' penalty came in the 27th minute. Snodgrass himself went over in the box but it appeared that Scott Dann had made little to no contact, with the Palace players up in arms over the decision to award the spot kick. Dann was booked for protesting but it mattered not as Snodgrass stood up to slam home the penalty.
The teams were level on 52 minutes when Benteke smashed home a spot kick for the visitors. Zaha twisted and turned in the box with goalscorer Snodgrass bringing him down. Benteke sent David Marshall the wrong way with the penalty to make it 1-1.
Palace turned the game on its head with a second on 70 minutes. The ball fell to Zaha from a corner and controlling it expertly he jinked past two defenders before riffling home from an acute angle past Marshall.
The lead was very short lived; however, as Hull responded two minutes later. Harry Maguire found Diomande and the striker turned, nutmegged Dann, and calmly slotted home past Wayne Hennessy.
An absolute cracker of a game threw up a fifth goal on 78 minutes. Livermore played a 1-2 with Snodgrass before weaving his way into the box and sidefooting home low to the corner of the net.
The final twist came in the 89th minute as Palace snatched a late equaliser. Zaha sent over a cross from the right allowing subsitute Campbell the chance to climb and head home at the near post.
Swansea scored three en route to three points against Sunderland in the relegation six-pointer at the Liberty Stadium.
A penalty from Gylfi Sigurdsson and a brace from Fernando Llorente saw the Swans home as they climbed off the bottom of the table and out of the relegation zone to 17th in the table, while the Cats drop down to take their spot as the league’s basement side.
It took until after half-time time to break the deadlock at Liberty Stadium with Jason Denayer punished for a handball and Sigurdsson smashing the resulting penalty down the middle past Jordan Pickford.
Three minutes later it was 2-0 to the Swans as Llorente finished sweetly from a corner that had come from a superb Pickford save from Modou Barrow.
The killer blow came from Swansea with ten minutes of normal time remaining. Wayne Routledge released Jefferson Montero on the left to cross for Llorente to head home and guarantee the points.
