Divock Origi and James Milner both struck late on as Liverpool claimed a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Sunderland on Saturday.
The Reds had looked to be heading for a frustrating stalemate against the Black Cats after Philippe Coutinho was stretchered off midway through the first half.
Coutinho's replacement, Origi, changed the course of the match with a deflected effort 15 minutes from time before James Milner wrapped up the points with a penalty after Sadio Mane was fouled.
Sadio Mane was brought down by Jason Denayer and James Milner made no mistake from the spot.
Chelsea 2-1 Tottenham
Antonio Conte's side fought back from a goal down to secure their seventh straight Premier League victory and leap-frog Liverpool at the top of the table.
Chelsea's run of ten hours without conceding a goal was abruptly ended when Christian Eriksen spectacularly fired Tottenham in front from range.
Pedro then struck a superb leveller on the brink of half-time, cutting onto his right foot, before curling into the corner past Hugo Lloris.
It was in-form Victor Moses who then put Chelsea in front as he swooped in a the back post to smash home via a deflection off Jan Vertonghen, an emphatic finish which proved to be the winner.
Hull City 1-1 West Brom
Hull carried out a defiant fightback at the KCOM Stadium when they came from behind to snatch a point against West Brom.
A strong, volleyed finish from captain Michael Dawson was enough to cancel out a first half header by Gareth McAuley.
A match which saw a tedious opening 45 minutes soon exploded into life after the interval, with chances raining down at both ends but the sides each had to settle for a point.
Leicester 2-2 Middlesbrough
Reigning Premier League champions Leicester left it late with a second penalty to rescue a stoppage time 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough at the King Power Stadium.
Alvaro Negredo ended his 10-game barren spell by opening the scoring for the visitors before Leicester rediscovered their form to equalise from the penalty spot through Riyad Mahrez after Calum Chambers' handball.
Jamie Vardy came close to ending his own scoring slump before being replaced by summer signing Islam Slimani who took over penalty responsibilities to earn a point from the penalty spot in stoppage time after Marten de Roon was brought down by Foxes captain Wes Morgan.
Swansea 5-4 Crystal Palace
Sunderland are back at the bottom of the Premier League following that breath-taking finish between Swansea and Crystal Palace.
Alan Pardew's side are now only two points above the Swans after relinquishing a lead in injury-time and still somehow managing to lose the game all together.
Hull 1-1 West Brom
No such drama in the closing stages between Hull and West Brom. Mike Phelan's side looked doomed to another defeat at the interval but they showed spirit in the second half.
The Tigers may have had this down as a chance to win, but they have to settle for just the point.
