Arsenal and Chelsea on Saturday faltered after both sides settled for draws against their opponents in the English Premier League (EPL).
While Arsenal were held to 1-1 by Brighton, Chelsea suffered same fate against Crystal Palace.
With the latest outcome, Chelsea have failed to win in four matches recently.
City Resurgence
Earlier, Manchester City continued their recovery process with a convincing 4-1 thumping of West Ham, making it their second consecutive win.
Also, Erling Haaland scored again with a brace versus West Ham to make it three in two matches.
Defending champions City returned to winning ways at Leicester last week after a long lean spell and picked up three more points against Julen Lopetegui’s West Ham at the Etihad.
Spurs Slump
In the early kick-off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Newcastle came from behind to clinch a fifth straight Premier League win and heap more misery on injury-hit Spurs.
The victory leaves Newcastle in fifth spot, which may yet prove enough to secure a place in the Champions League next season, but Spurs have slumped to 12th in the table after five defeats in seven matches.
Leicester City Deep In Relegation Pot
Aston Villa beat relegation-threatened Leicester 2-1 at home with goals from Ross Barkley and Leon Bailey.
Brentford recorded a rare win on the road, smashing bottom side Southampton 5-0, and Bournemouth beat Everton 1-0.
