So the race goes on.
Betting odds still favour leaders Chelsea but Spurs remain in the sports betting hunt.
Meanwhile, live betting saw late goals in London and an early goal on Teeside which has all but relegated Sunderland.
Chelsea 4-2 Southampton
If knowing the right time to score goals is the hallmark of champions, then Chelsea will be picking up the Premier League trophy next month.
For scoring early in each half and right on the stroke of half-time and full-time can kill opponents and damage their belief.
That is exactly what the leaders did to Southampton when they threatened to cause nerves around Stamford Bridge.
Avoid defeat at Everton this weekend and it’s hard to see Antonio Conte’s men slipping up.
Arsenal 1-0 Leicester City
For the second time in four days, Arsenal rode their luck – and they will not care one jot.
For Arsene Wenger will feel his side deserve the breaks they’re currently getting, such as the Nacho Monreal shot which deflected in off Robert Huth’s chest with just four minutes remaining.
Until that point, reigning champions Leicester looked set to frustrate the Gunners who are still in with a chance of Champions League qualification.
This was not a full house at the Emirates, a sign perhaps of disillusionment which exists among some home fans.
Middlesbrough 1-0 Sunderland
For Boro, a first league victory of 2017 – although it has probably come too late.
For Sunderland, a further push towards the trap door.
Marten De Roon’s early goal means the Wearsiders could go down as soon as this weekend – a position which has seemed certain for the past month now.
With many fans singing ‘you’re not fit to wear the shirt’ at their heroes, it was hard to argue.
Crystal Palace 0-1 Tottenham Hotspur
This title race ain’t over yet.
Not with Christian Eriksen the fulcrum of Mauricio Pochettino’s vibrant young side.
He may be unsung but Eriksen is certainly not under appreciated.
His 78th minute goal was enough as Spurs secured an eight consecutive league win for the first time since 1960.
They now have their highest ever points tally in the Premier League and surely runners-up spot is the lowest they will finish.
