Sadio Mane and Roberto Fiminio scored doubles as Liverpool kept the heat on title rivals Manchester City with a 4-2 victory over Burnley at Anfield.
Gameweek 30 of the Premier League season began with Brighton beating rivals Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park for the first time ever in the Premier League.
Anthony Knockaert scored a stunning winner as Chris Hughton's side won 2-1 at Selhurst Park, but the Brighton forward was fortunate not to be sent off in the first half.
Tottenham welcomed back Dele Alli for their match at Southampton, in what was the pick of the 3pm kick offs, but the return of the England international wasn't enough to stop Spurs from slipping to a third defeat in four Premier League matches.
Meanwhile, Raheem Sterling scored a second-half hat-trick as Manchester City beat Watford 3-1 victory at Etihad Stadium.
Elsewhere, West Ham were beaten at Cardiff, Fulham lost at home to Leicester City, while Everton spurned a 2-0 lead at Newcastle, with Rafa Benitez's side winning the match 3-2.
Later on Sunday, the top four race will be under the microscope as Arsenal (fifth) host Manchester United (fourth), with Chelsea (sixth) hoping to leapfrog their rivals as the Blues welcome Wolves to Stamford Bridge.
