A dramatic London derby between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur on Monday night closed out an incident-packed round of Premier League fixtures.

Dejan Kulusevski gave Spurs an early lead but Cole Palmer's penalty and Jackson's second-half hat-trick earned maximum points for Chelsea. Elsewhere, Arsenal lost 1-0 at Newcastle United with Mikel Arteta hitting out at the refereeing decisions in that game.

West Ham were beaten 3-2 at Brentford while Fulham suffered a late loss to Manchester United but there was plenty to smile about for Crystal Palace as they won 2-0 at Burnley.
