Marcos Alonso bagged a brace to rescue a 2-2 draw for Chelsea at Bournemouth to keep the Blues in control of their top-four fate.
The Spaniard put the Blues ahead but they were at risk of being overtaken by Manchester United tomorrow when Jefferson Lerma and Josh King turned the tide with two quickfire goals.
However, the left-back saved the day with a late strike, and almost bagged his hat-trick in stoppage time.
It leaves Frank Lampard’s men four points ahead of fifth-place United, who travel to Everton on Sunday.
Elsewhere, West Ham capitalised on the Cherries’ draw and ended their eight-match winless streak with a much-needed 3-1 win over Southampton at the London Stadium.
Jarrod Bowen grabbed his first Hammers goal on his first start before Michael Obafemi equalised for the visitors.
But Sebastien Haller and Michail Antonio struck to move David Moyes’ side out of the relegation zone and level on points with Bournemouth.
Earlier in the day, a Jordan Ayew goal gave Crystal Palace the bragging rights over fierce rivals Brighton as the Eagles claimed a narrow 1-0 win at the Amex.
Meanwhile, Newcastle and Burnley played out a dull 0-0 draw at St James’ Park.
