Chelsea moved up to fourth with a comfortable victory over struggling Southampton as the race for European football took another turn on Tuesday.
Enzo Maresca's side ended a three-match losing run to move back above Manchester City, although the reigning champions have a game in hand.
Brighton went level on points with seventh-placed Bournemouth with a 2-1 win against the Cherries, while Fulham boosted their chances of a European place by beating Wolves at Molineux.
However, there was disappointment for Aston Villa after a 4-1 defeat by Crystal Palace.
