Manchester City's 12-game unbeaten run came to an end at Southampton while a late Marcus Rashford winner helped Manchester United beat West Ham United 1-0 and get back in the top four of the Premier League.
City needed a 65th-minute header by Aymeric Laporte to earn a point at St. Mary's, after Southampton took the lead through Kyle Walker-Peters in the seventh.
Kevin De Bruyne, who supplied the cross for Laporte’s goal, and substitute Gabriel Jesus hit the same post in the second half for City, for whom Raheem Sterling had a gilt-edged chance from close range saved by Fraser Forster before halftime.
Southampton's players defended stoutly after the break, just like they did when collecting a 0-0 draw at Etihad Stadium in September.
Rashford scored in stoppage time to help Manchester United leapfrog West Ham to fourth place. United had four strikers on the field towards the end of the match and all four combined to end with Rashford sending the ball into the back of the net.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United finally got their second win of the season with Jonjo Shelvey scoring in the 75th minute to get them a 1-0 win over Leeds United.
Aston Villa beat Everton 1-0 while Norwich City beat Watford 3-0. Wolverhampton Wanderers, meanwhile, beat Brentford 2-1.
