Highlights:
United were thrashed 4-0 by Everton
Liverpool and Manchester City refuse to cede ground in statistically the greatest Premier League title race of all-time.
LIVERPOOL 2-0 CARDIFF
Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League with a hard-fought 2-0 victory away at relegation-threatened Cardiff on Super Sunday.
Georginio Wijnaldum's third goal of the season (57) and a late James Milner penalty (81) sealed a ninth-consecutive victory for Jurgen Klopp's side that restores their two-point lead over Manchester City.
Things could have been different for Cardiff had captain Sean Morrison converted a gilt-edged close-range header immediately after Wijnaldum's opener, but, after spurning a host of first-half chances, Liverpool ultimately got the job done.
Liverpool's victory piles the pressure on the champions ahead of Wednesday's Manchester derby at Old Trafford - live on Sky Sports - and leaves 18th-placed Cardiff with just three games to secure their top-flight status.
MANCITY 1-0 SPURS
Phil Foden scored his first Premier League goal as Manchester City battled to a 1-0 win over their Champions League conquerors Tottenham to return to the top of the table.
Four days on from their dramatic quarter-final exit at the hands of Spurs, Foden's fifth-minute header sealed a priceless victory for Pep Guardiola's side on an incredibly tense afternoon at the Etihad Stadium.
Heung-Min Son spurned four first-half chances as Spurs threatened to haunt City again, while a handball in his own penalty area from Kyle Walker went unpunished midway through the second half.
But City held their nerve, securing a 10th successive league victory that moves them a point clear of title rivals Liverpool. Spurs remain third, a point clear of Arsenal having played a game more.
EVERTON 4-0 MANCHESTER UNITED
Everton inflicted a humiliating 4-0 defeat on Manchester United, who have now lost six of their last eight games.
Out-fought and out-played by their hosts at Goodison Park, United didn't manage to produce a shot on target until the 85th minute.
Gary Neville was outspoken in his criticism of United's display while Jamie Carragher described it as the worst he had seen from United during his time.
An acrobatic volley from Richarlison put Everton ahead in the 12th minute and the hosts were two up at half-time courtesy of Gylfi Sigurdsson's 25-yard drive (28).
Lucas Digne fired home a third (56) early in the second half, and Theo Walcott raced clear to complete the scoring in the 64th minute.
Courtesy of their fine victory, Everton are up to seventh in the league table while United's latest defeat leaves them two points outside the Champions League places with just four games remaining.
ARSENAL 2-3 PALACE
Arsenal 2-3 Crystal Palace: Gunners top-four hopes dealt blow after defensive horror show
Arsenal defensive frailties came back to haunt them as Crystal Palace dented their top four hopes with a 3-2 win at The Emirates.
The Gunners had kept back-to-back clean sheets after wins at Watford and Napoli but were all over the place defensively as Christian Benteke (17), Wilfried Zaha (61) and James McArthur (69) punished some lacklustre Arsenal play.
Two of the goals came via set-pieces and Zaha's was put on a plate for him by a calamitous defensive error from Shkodran Mustafi.
Arsenal had levelled the game at 1-1 through Mesut Ozil (47) before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (77) gave hope of a comeback but it didn't materialise as Palace won away for the eighth time this season and broke through the 40 points barrier.
The result leaves Arsenal still in fourth place and means there are only three points now covering the four teams chasing Champions League qualification with four games to go.
Scott Dann had already given Arsenal a warning about Palace's set-piece strength when his free header was somehow skewed over the crossbar from close range by Martin Kelly.
