Luckily for them they got that win, because hard-charging Newcastle are right behind them, blasting Aston Villa 4-0.
Meanwhile, Graham Potter suffered his first defeat as Chelsea boss, 4-1 at the hands of his former club Brighton .
At the bottom of the table Leeds secured the biggest result of the weekend, beating Liverpool for the first time in over 21 years.

They have to move fast, because Newcastle have the look of a team that can challenge for the top four.
Manchester United continue their push towards the top four as they slid past West Ham on Sunday.
Meanwhile, a European place would definitely make for a successful season for Brighton who have finally won their first game under their new manager Roberto De Zerbi.
It's a jam of teams at the bottom of the Premier League with six teams within three points of each other.
Some of those names are surprises, but no one expected to see Leicester City , Aston Villa , and Wolves battling around the relegation places at this point in the season.
Steven Gerrard (Villa) and Bruno Lage (Wolves) both lost their job as a result, while Brendan Rodgers (Leicester) and Ralph Hasenhuttl (Southampton) are also believed to be on the hot seat as their respective clubs continue to struggle.
Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch bought himself some more time with a huge win over Liverpool at Anfield, which still only gives his team a three-point cushion from the cellar. Nottingham Forest , meanwhile, are in a world of trouble despite a record-setting summer spending spree, now sitting bottom of the table with a catastrophic -20 goal differential after shipping five to leaders Arsenal.
The bottom three teams on May 28, 2023 will be relegated to the second tier Championship.
