Leaders Chelsea were held to a 1-1 draw by Burnley on Sunday, but the Blues still extended their lead at the summit of the Premier League.

Antonio Conte’s side went into their clash at Turf Moor knowing that Tottenham had lost at Liverpool, so victory would have taken them 12 points clear at the top.

And they looked to be on course to doing so when Pedro gave them a seventh minute lead, although Robbie Brady’s brilliant free-kick deservedly secured a point for Sean Dyche’s men, who moved up to 12th as a result.

As aforementioned, second place Spurs lost 2-0 at Anfield, which saw Liverpool move back into the top four, while Arsenal regained third after a controversial 2-0 success at home to Hull on Saturday.

Manchester United kept pace with the top four thanks to a 2-0 victory over Watford at Old Trafford, with Anthony Martial impressing, while fifth place Manchester City have the chance to go second in the table tonight with victory over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

Everton remained seventh following a 0-0 draw with relegation-threatened Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium, while Tony Pulis’ West Brom strengthened their grip on eighth with an entertaining 2-2 draw at West Ham.

At the bottom, all three sides in the relegation zone lost, with Hull losing at Arsenal, Crystal Palace narrowly going down 1-0 at Stoke, and Sunderland suffering a 4-0 thumping at home to Southampton.

However, Paul Clement’s Swansea moved themselves away from danger by beating Leicester 2-0 on Sunday, a result which plunges Claudio Ranieri’s Foxes into the mire after a fifth successive league defeat.

So, on what was a fascinating weekend of Premier League action, here is What’s Hot and What’s Not from the past few days in England’s top-flight…
