Arsenal 3-2 Bournemouth

Arsenal restored their five-point lead at the top of the table after coming from two goals down to win a five-goal thriller at the Emirates Stadium.

Thomas Partey pulled a goal back for the Gunners a couple of minutes later and Ben White set up a grandstand finish with the equaliser 20 minutes before time.

Reiss Nelson fired home the winner for Arsenal deep in stoppage time with a cracking diagonal shot in the box following a corner.

Chelsea 1-0 Leeds United

Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur could not win their third game in a row after going down 1-0 against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux Stadium.

The first stanza was a scrappy affair from the sides but the game came to life in the second stanza as Adama Traore fired home the all important goal for Wolves eight minutes before time.

Brighton and Hove Albion 4-0 West Ham United

Brighton and Hove Albion got back to winning ways after a resounding 4-0 win over West Ham United at the Amex Stadium.

Alexis Mac Allister gave Brighton the lead on 18 minutes from the penalty spot and Joel Veltman doubled their lead early in the second stanza.

Kaoru Mitoma put the game to bed for the Seagulls with 21 minutes to go and Danny Welbeck rounded off the thrashing in the last minute.

Aston Villa 1-0 Crystal Palace

Aston Villa won back-to-back matches after edging ten men Crystal Palace 1-0 at Villa Park.

Luck continued to elude the visitors as an own goal by Joachim Andersen just before the half-hour mark gave Villa the lead.

The Eagles shot themselves in the foot again shortly after the hour-mark after they were reduced to ten men following the second yellow of Cheick Doucoure, who was sent off.
