It was another exhilarating round of matches in the Premier League this past weekend as the title race swung slightly in Manchester City's favour, the battle for the top four took a new twist, and the fight to avoid relegation continued.
The round began at Villa Park with the early Saturday kick off where Aston Villa extended their excellent form with a 3-0 victory over top-four chasing Newcastle United.
That was followed by five matches in the traditional Saturday afternoon time slot when Chelsea's miserable form continued with a 2-1 home defeat by Brighton & Hove Albion, Fulham defeated Everton 3-1 at Goodison Park to damage the hosts' survival hopes, and Tottenham were stunned by a last-minute 3-2 loss at home against Bournemouth.
Elsewhere, Crystal Palace eased past bottom side Southampton 2-0 at St Mary's Stadium, while Wolves defeated Brentford by the same score at Molineux.
Sunday began with a dramatic 2-2 draw between West Ham and Arsenal, which saw the Premier League leaders throw away a two-goal lead for the second straight week, before Manchester United registered a third successive win by beating Nottingham Forest 2-0 at the City Ground.
The round concluded on Monday night at Elland Road where Liverpool destroyed Leeds United 6-1 to boost their slim top-four hopes while keeping Leeds mired in a relegation fight.
