Arsenal go top of league after defeating Bournemouth, Manchester United and Chelsea held to a stale mate, Late penalty saw Stoke steal the three points against Everton, Newcastle and Aston Villa drop back to relegation.
A sublime display from Mesut Ozil was the key for Arsenal as they overcame Bournemouth 2-0, assuring the top spot in the Premier League for at least 24 hours.
Arsene Wenger's side had passed up the chance to claim top spot when Southampton thrashed them 4-0 on Saturday and they were tentative during the early exchanges this time around at Emirates Stadium.
At the Old Trafford, Goalkeepers were the stars of the show as Manchester United and Chelsea drew 0-0 in the Premier League on Monday evening.
The hosts, with manager Louis van Gaal under similar
pressure to that which recently saw Guus Hiddink replace Jose Mourinho in the Blues' dugout, hit the woodwork through Juan Mata and Anthony Martial in the first half but had to rely upon David de Gea for some superb saves.
Thibaut Courtois similarly had to step up as Old Trafford
enjoyed an exhibition of reflexes between the posts but
Chelsea arguably had the best chance to win when Nemanja Matic squandered a threatening counterattack in the second period.
Crystal Palace faltered in their bid to end 2015 in the
Champions League qualification places, failing to find the breakthrough against Swansea City on Monday, settled for 0-0.
Mean while at the Goodison Park, Romelu Lukaku twice equalised from Xherdan Shaqiri goals and Gerard Deulofeu gave the hosts a second-half lead before Joselu and the Austrian turned the game on its head.
Xherdan Shaqiri and Romelu Lukaku scored twice each but it was Stoke City who had the last laugh with a late, late penalty seeing them through to a 4-3 Premier League victory against Everton
Else where, Norwich City deepened Aston Villa's woes with a 2-0 victory, which leaves the Birmingham club rooted to the bottom of the table and in serious relegation danger.
Manager Alex Neil underlined the importance of Monday's fixture at Carrow Road with Norwich languishing just above the Premier League relegation zone having won just once in their previous six outings.
And at Vicarage Road, An 89th-minute strike from substitute Son Heung-min secured Tottenham a dramatic 2-1 win over 10-man
Watford at Vicarage Road.
The South Korea international pounced to net his second Premier League goal one minute from time to punish the hosts, who had Nathan Ake sent off for catching Erik Lamela with a high leg with the scores level just after the hour.
And at the Hawthorns, A late header from Darren Fletcher gave West Brom a first Premier League win in six matches as they defeated struggling Newcastle United at The Hawthorns on Monday.
Finally, Substitute Andy Carroll helped West Ham come from behind to snap a run of five consecutive Premier League draws with a 2-1 win over Southampton at Upton Park.
