An exciting weekend at both ends of the table ended with a superb Super Sunday as the country remembered the 96 fans who went to Hillsborough 25 years ago for an FA Cup semi-final and never came back, a brilliant memorial for the fans came as every game kicked off seven minutes later than planned in remembrance of the 3.06pm abandoning of the tragic game in 1989.
Crystal Palace gave their survival hopes a massive boost with a 1-0 win over Aston Villa who themselves are still not safe, Puncheon's rich scoring form continued with the winning goal in the 76th minute that puts the Eagles above their opponents into 12th place.
Fulham moved to two points from safety with a 1-0 win over Norwich who now sit just above the Cottagers ahead of a nightmare run-in with Rodallega striking the crucial winner in the 40th minute.
Cardiff stunned Southampton as the Bluebirds edged closer to safety with a 1-0 with the crucial strike coming from Cala in the 65th minute while Stoke secured a 1-0 win at home to Newcastle with a superb strike from Pieters in the 42nd minute, his first goal in six years after fooling Krul from a cross-like shot.
Everton took advantage of Arsenal being in the FA Cup to overtake the Gunners in the race for fourth place with a 1-0 win away to Sunderland who as a result find themselves seven points away from safety at the bottom but with two games in hand with the vital goal coming in the 75th minute as Brown hit into his own net.
After five minutes of their game at home to Tottenham, West Brom looked on for a rare win as they led 2-0 with goals from Vydra and Brunt and went one better as Sessegnon made it three inside 32 minutes. However just like in their previous home game, they blew the lead and had to settle for a point as Tottenham came roaring back with an Olsson own goal and a strike from Kane before levelling in the final minute through Eriksen for 3-3.
Super Sunday began with a five-goal thriller between title rivals Liverpool and Manchester City with the hosts leading 2-0 thanks to goals from Sterling in the 6th minute and a Skrtel header in the 26th minute.
City came back in style with two goals in five minutes with Silva tapping in from a Milner cross before having a shot deflected in by Johnson for 2-2 just after the hour mark but Coutinho sealed a 3-2 in in style after a mistake from Kompany and Liverpool held on despite the late dismissal of Henderson to go five clear at the top.
Chelsea knew a win would close the gap to Liverpool while creating one between themselves and Manchester City when they faced Swansea and got an early helping hand as Chico was dismissed for Swansea and Ba continued where he left off in midweek with the winning goal in the 68th minute to put his side five clear of third-placed City.
