Bournemouth’s fourth league victory in five matches moved them to 28 points after 17 games, while United are 13th with 22 points and will spend Christmas in the bottom half of the table for the first time in Premier League history.

Liverpool beat Spurs 6-3

Liverpool extended their lead at the top with a dominant but chaotic 6-3 win at Tottenham Hotspur thanks to doubles from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah.

Diaz met Trent Alexander-Arnold’s beautiful cross with a diving header to open the scoring before Alexis Mac Allister nodded home from close range to double Liverpool’s lead, but James Maddison pulled one back four minutes before half-time.

Dominik Szoboszlai scored in added time and Salah netted twice in seven second-half minutes, before Dejan Kulusevski’s volley was followed by Dominic Solanke’s 83rd-minute goal to set up a frantic finish until Diaz made it 6-3 two minutes later.

Liverpool are top with 39 points from 16 games, four points above second-placed Chelsea who have played a game more. Spurs remain 11th, with 23 points from 17 games.

Chelsea held by Everton

Striker Nicolas Jackson struck the post with a close-range header as Chelsea were held to a 0-0 draw by Everton at a blustery Goodison Park. The conditions made it difficult for both teams, but they each had chances to win the game.
