Newcastle United ended their long wait for a first win in the Premier League this season after beating Watford 1-0 at St James' Park.
Pressure will have been slightly lifted on the shoulders of manager Rafael Benitez, as Ayoze Perez scored the only goal of the game with a glancing header.
Elsewhere, after what has been a difficult week for all concerned at Leicester City, the Foxes managed to secure a 1-0 win of their own against Cardiff City.
Víctor Camarasa came the closest to opening the scoring as his free-kick hit the woodwork in the first half.
There was a moment of controversy just before half-time as the ball fell for Jamie Vardy who saw his effort seemingly saved by the hand of defender Sol Bamba but no penalty was given.
Leicester did finally break the deadlock in the 55th minute when Demarai Gray slotted home a good cross from Ben Chilwell, to earn the Foxes the three points in South Wales.
Meanwhile, Everton secured a comfortable win as they beat Brighton 3-1 at Goodison Park.
Richarlison opened the scoring before Lewis Dunk levelled things up before half-time.
However, a second goal from Richarlison and a fine strike from Seamus Coleman, ensured it was the Toffees who came away with the spoils.
The London Stadium saw a high-scoring affair as West Ham managed to beat Burnley 4-2 in the capital.
Johann Gudmundsson and Chris Wood bagged goals for the Clarets but the Hammers ran out with winners, with a brace from Felipe Anderson and efforts from Marko Arnautovic and Javier Hernandez earning the win.
Earlier in the day, Marcus Rashford was the hero for Manchester United, as his injury-time strike was enough to give the Red Devils a 2-1 win at Bournemouth.
The Cherries took the lead thanks to Callum Wilson but goals from Anthony Martial and Rashford ensured it was United who claimed the spoils on the south coast.
United are 11/4 to finish in the top four in the Premier League this season.
