The first ever Premier League winter break has split gameweek 26 over two weekends, with the action starting at Goodison Park.
Bernard and Richarlison both scored stunning goals to leave Crystal Palace empty-handed and send Everton into seventh.
Later on Saturday, Adrian Mariappa's late own goal denied Watford a crucial victory against Brighton at the Amex Stadium.
Sunday's action was reduced to Sheffield United's comeback win over Bournemouth after Man City's meeting with West Ham was postponed due to Storm Ciara.
Next weekend sees six games, starting with Wolves hosting Leicester City on Friday night, Liverpool in action on Saturday, Tottenham and Arsenal on Sunday and on Monday - the headline act - sees Manchester United travel to face Chelsea.
