Premier League football moves beyond the festive fixture pile-up, but plenty more games await in January as gameweek 22 kicks off.
The action began as West Ham lost 1-0 at Sheffield United on Friday night - a result which sent the Blades fifth - before an action-packed Saturday began at Selhurst Park.
Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang opened the scoring, but was later sent off as the hosts fought back to draw 1-1 at Selhurst Park. A deflected effort by Jordan Ayew at the start of the second period earned the hosts a deserved point.
In the 3pm kick-offs, Manchester United thrashed sorry Norwich as Chelsea got back to winning ways in front of their own fans against Burnley.
The tie of the weekend saw Liverpool eek out a narrow 1-0 win to move 16 points clear, with a game in hand thanks to Roberto Firmino's first-half goal.
