Nathan Redmond made it 2-0 after 72 minutes with a close-range finish following a slick passing move as Chelsea were brought back down to earth after their win at Tottenham.

Aston Villa got the better of fellow relegation battlers Norwich with a 1-0 home win.

The Canaries saw a first-half header from Sam Byram hit the crossbar, while midfielder Alex Tettey later had a goalbound header cleared off the line.

But it was Villa who broke the deadlock in the 64th minute when substitute Conor Hourihane curled the ball into the top corner after good work from Jack Grealish.

Norwich pressed for an equaliser, with Tom Heaton producing fine saves from substitutes Marco Stiepermann and Onel Hernandez as Daniel Farke’s struggling side suffered a 13th league defeat.

Just when it looked like the match would end all square, Ayew danced through the West Ham defence before chipping the goalkeeper.

However, Oliver Norwood equalised from the penalty spot in the 36th minute after a VAR review upheld the decision following a trip by Will Hughes on George Baldock.
