Chelsea made it six wins in a row after beating Crystal Palace 2-0 at Stamford Bridge thanks to goals from Tammy Abraham and Christian Pulisic.

The Blues had to be patient as the visitors set up to frustrate but eventually took the lead in the second half as Abraham netted his 11th goal of an impressive season.

In-form Christian Pulisic added a second before full time as the Blues temporarily moved up to second in the table.

In the evening game however, Leicester leapfrogged the Londoners following a 2-0 win over Arsenal at the King Power stadium.

Jamie Vardy game the Foxes a second half lead before teeing up James Maddison to condemn the Gunners to their third defeat of the season.

The battle of the Claret and Blues at Turf Moor saw Burnley run out comfortable winners against West Ham.

Goals from Ashley Barnes, Chris Wood and an own goal from Roberto means the Hammers are now six league games without a win.
