The Londoners benefited from the defeats of Manchester City (0:2 against Manchester United) and Aston Villa (0:1 against Everton). The duo are now seven points behind Arsenal.

Aston Villa's first home defeat since November 1 was sealed by former Basel striker Thierno Barry. The Frenchman skillfully converted a follow-up shot with a lob after just under an hour to score the winner.
