The race for fourth remains as even as it was before this round of fixtures, with Chelsea still holding a one-point lead over Man City in the final Champions League spot.

Fulham were arguably the biggest victors on Sunday as the West London outfit sit only four points behind fifth-placed Man City.

Tottenham remain in the bottom half of the ...
