West Ham became the first away team to win at Tottenham’s new ground, Cardiff edged nearer to relegation, Brighton secured a valuable point, while Southampton and Bournemouth shared six goals in a pulsating south coast derby.
Michail Antonio’s brilliant second-half goal was enough to give the Hammers what was only their third away win of the season, with Fabian Balbuena clearing Vincent Janssen’s header off the line in stoppage time to ensure their three points.
Fulham’s Ryan Babel fired in a superb goal from 25 yards out to condemn Cardiff to a 1-0 defeat at Craven Cottage. The result leaves the Bluebirds third from bottom with two games left, four points short of Brighton, who came from behind to draw 1-1 at Newcastle in Saturday’s late game.
Ayoze Perez gave Rafael Benitez’s side an 18th-minute lead, but Pascal Gross’ second-half header – Brighton’s first goal in eight matches – earned Chris Hughton’s team a draw.
Bournemouth’s Callum Wilson bundled in an 86th-minute equaliser to give the Cherries a share of the points at Southampton. The away side were 2-1 up at half-time, but goals from James Ward-Prowse and Matt Targett gave Saints the lead in the second half. However, the point earned by Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side, together with Cardiff’s defeat, means Southampton are safe from relegation.
Wolves stay in seventh place after a 2-1 win away to Watford. Diogo Jota grabbed the winning goal 13 minutes from time to send Watford down to ninth in the table.
Everton lost ground in the race to possibly take a place in the Europa League next season with a goalless draw at home to Crystal Palace. Everton’s Cenk Tosun saw a brilliant back-heeled effort saved by Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita in the closing stages, while Bernard and Lucas Digne hit the post for Everton in the second half. The Toffees are eighth, four points behind Wolves.
