Manchester City 4-1 Tottenham

Manchester City marched to their 16th successive league win as they thumped Tottenham to extend their Premier League lead to 14 points.

City took the lead when Ilkay Gundogan headed in from Leroy's Sane's corner before Kevin de Bruyne smashed home the second after the break.

Raheem Sterling tapped in for 3-0 from Sane's pass and added his second when he slotted under keeper Hugo Lloris.

Christian Eriksen fired in a consolation for Spurs in stoppage time.

City could have had another but Gabriel Jesus missed a penalty with the score at 2-0.

Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle

Arsenal returned to winning ways but had Mesut Ozil to thank for scoring a wonderful winner as they toiled against out-of-form Newcastle.

Having taken just two points from their last three games, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger could not have wished for a better game in which to register a first Premier League win of the month.

But the performance in a tight 1-0 victory over the Magpies was met with incredulity from pockets of the home fans, with the likes of Alexis Sanchez and the recalled Alexandre Lacazette struggling to make an impact once again.

The winner came at the midway point of the first half. Sanchez’s strike was blocked by DeAndre Yedlin with the headed clearance then dropping to Ozil, whose controlled volley was weighted perfectly to beat Rob Elliot in the Newcastle goal.

Newcastle remain without a league victory since October 21 and their slide into the relegation battle continued despite a determined showing here, with profligate finishing their main issue.

Brighton 0-0 Burnley

Glenn Murray squandered a first-half penalty as Brighton’s winless run stretched to seven games with a goalless draw against high-flying Burnley.

Albion dominated for long spells at the Amex Stadium but their search for a first Premier League victory since the start of November goes on after Murray blazed his 36th-minute spot-kick high over the crossbar.

Anthony Knockaert had earlier rattled the woodwork for the Seagulls, while Sean Dyche’s Clarets could have won it late on through Chris Wood as they missed a chance to move to fourth in the table.

Chelsea 1-0 Southampton

Marcos Alonso’s pinpoint free-kick earned Chelsea victory over Southampton.

The Spanish full-back curled a stunning 30-yard effort past goalkeeper Fraser Forster and into the net in first-half stoppage time.

The Blues could have added to their tally but Pedro hit a post and Eden Hazard had a goal disallowed for offside.

Chelsea have now won eight of their last 10 league matches, including five in a row at Stamford Bridge.

Watford 1-4 Huddersfield

Aaron Mooy’s double helped Huddersfield secure only their second away win of the season.

Elias Kachunga and Mooy put Huddersfield two goals to the good at Vicarage Road before Troy Deeney was sent off for a dangerous lunge on Colin Quaner.

Laurent Depoitre added a third for the visitors shortly after half-time only for Watford to threaten a comeback when Huddersfield’s Jonathan Hogg was shown a second yellow card and Abdoulaye Doucoure reduced the deficit with a sweet half-volley.

Doucoure, however, then turned villain by fouling Depoitre in the box late on and Mooy banged in his second – and Huddersfield’s fourth – from the penalty spot to cap a thrilling victory.

Leicester City 0-3 Crystal Palace

Earlier in the day, Crystal Palace continued their resurgence under Roy Hodgson by shocking Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

Christian Benteke cost Palace victory when he missed an injury-time penalty he was not supposed to take last weekend, but the striker redeemed himself with a first-half header from Andros Townsend’s cross – his first goal of the campaign before Zaha and Sako added second and third goals respectively.

Stoke City 0-3 West Ham

West Ham climbed out of the relegation zone after striker Marko Arnautovic returned to haunt his troubled former club Stoke.

David Moyes' improving Hammers celebrated their first away victory of the season but the pressure will build further on Potters boss Mark Hughes, who has now won just one of his last eight games.

On his 300th league appearance, West Ham captain Mark Noble gave his side the lead from the penalty spot before Arnautovic doubled their lead and Sahko scored a late third.
