Leicester City have ended their four-match winless run, as goals from Youri Tielemans, Caglar Soyuncu, Jamie Vardy and Patson Daka helped them to a comeback 4-2 home win over Manchester United.
With the score 2-2 late in the game, Vardy netted a superb goal with the outside of his foot to cap a frantic five-minute spell, before substitute Patson Daka put the icing on the cake for Leicester in stoppage time.
Mason Greenwood fired United into a 19th-minute lead, when he unleashed a thunderbolt from 20 metres that flew into the far corner, as it shaved the inside of the post.
But the visitors were punished for sloppy passing in the danger zone in the 31st, as Kelechi Iheanacho robbed Harry Maguire of the ball and squared it for Tielemans to hit the top corner with a looping shot over goalkeeper David De Gea.
A tame second half came to life, when Soyuncu turned the tide with a close-range effort in the 78th minute, before Marcus Rashford, returning after shoulder surgery in August, levelled for United in the 82nd.
Less than 60 seconds later, substitute Ayoze Perez chipped the ball into Vardy's path and the striker gave De Gea no chance, before Daka took advantage of more poor defending by United to tap the ball in at the far post.
Chelsea kept their grip on the top spot in the Premier League, as they beat neighbours Brentford 1-0, thanks to a Ben Chilwell strike, but only after a string of last-gasp defending and saves by goalkeeper Edouard Mendy denied the hosts.
Chilwell scored for the second match in a row, when Brentford failed to clear and the ball dropped kindly for the England defender to strike from 12 yards with a half volley.
Brentford spent much of the first half pegged back by Chelsea, but the red-and-white shirts piled forward after the break, roared on by their supporters.
In the 83rd minute, Chelsea goalkeeper Mendy denied Saman Ghoddos and Trevoh Chalobah, then saved the visitors by clearing off line from Christian Norgaard. Mendy made further fine saves, turning over an acrobatic overhead effort by Norgaard in injury time.
The result leaves Chelsea one point clear of Liverpool at the top of the table. Brentford stand in seventh place on 12 points.
Meanwhile, Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne were on target, as Manchester City beat Burnley 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium.
Portuguese midfielder Silva opened the scoring in the 12th minute, tapping in, after Burnley keeper Nick Pope had pushed out a low drive from Phil Foden.
Burnley caused City some problems and Maxwel Cornet could have brought them level, when he latched on to a ball over the top from Dwight McNeil, but City keeper Zack Steffen did well to save with his legs.
Riyad Mahrez went close to doubling City's lead after the break, clipping the crossbar after a smart pull-back from Silva.
City finally put the contest to bed in the 70th minute, when Ashley Westwood failed to clear for Burnley and the ball fell to De Bruyne, who smashed home with his left foot.
Pep Guardiola's side are on 17 points from eight games, in third place.
Earlier, Mohamed Salah set up Sadio Mane's 100th Premier League goal and scored a brilliant goal of his own, while Roberto Firmino bagged a hat-trick, as Liverpool claimed a 5-0 win over Watford in Claudio Ranieri's first game in charge.
The visitors took the lead in the ninth minute, when Salah played a sublime pass to Mane with the outside of his left boot for the Senegalese striker to notch his Premier League century.
Mane then picked out James Milner on an overlapping run and he drove a perfect ball across the goal for Firmino to steer home from close range in the 37th minute to put the Reds 2-0 up at halftime.
Firmino added his second seven minutes after the break, pouncing on a defensive mistake to poke home, before Salah stole the headlines two minutes later, with an outrageous display of close control, outwitting three defenders in a tight space, before curling the ball into the net.
Ranieri, who took over as Watford boss on October 4, after Xisco Munoz was sacked, was left in no doubt about the size of the task he faces, as Watford came up woefully short, and Firmino added his third in second-half stoppage time.
