Tottenham Hotspur recovered from losing to Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday by edging past Cardiff City by a lone goal at Wembley Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday.
Spurs have leapfrogged Chelsea into third place, although the Blues play at Southampton on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth's stellar form continued as the Cherries put four goals past 10-man Watford away from home. Bournemouth are now a point off the top four thanks to the bold attacking play favoured by manager Eddie Howe.
Wolverhampton Wanderes are another side punching above its collective weight. The winners of the Championship last season moved up to eighth when rising star Matt Doherty's goal beat Crystal Palace.
