Recap

Chelsea ended Everton's fine run of eight consecutive wins at Goodison Park and moved a step closer to the title with a hard-fought 3-0 win. While the final score may suggest a routine victory, the Toffees made life hard for the Blues, and the match was in the air until Pedro bagged the opener in the 66th minute.

The Spaniard curled home a lovely strike from outside the box to break the deadlock, and Gary Cahill and Willian would add goals of their own afterwards.

Former Blues star Michael Ballack loved it:

Spurs knew they couldn't afford a loss in the north London derby if they wanted to keep pace with Chelsea, and two quick goals from Dele Alli and Harry Kane after the 55th minute set them on their way.

Per Bleacher Report's Nick Akerman, the Gunners' run of finishing ahead of their rivals, which has lasted for over 20 seasons, has come to an end:

The Manchester clubs didn't have their best results on Sunday, with both slumping to draws. The Citizens defence was badly exposed against lowly Middlesbrough, who took the lead late on through Calum Chambers, with Gabriel Jesus saving his team further blushes.

Per Bleacher Report UK, manager Pep Guardiola's first season in the Premier League hasn't gone to plan defensively:

United didn't fare any better against another relegation candidate, playing out a 1-1 draw with Swansea City. Gylfi Sigurdsson won his side a point after Wayne Rooney had opened the scoring from the penalty spot.

As shared by WhoScored.com, the Red Devils are the kings of the draw this season:

Those two results leave Liverpool in third place, as the hunt for a top-four finish and a ticket for the UEFA Champions League is extremely close entering the final weeks of the season.
