Your support makes all the difference.Arsenal survived a scare to grind out a win over Huddersfield Town to boost their hopes of finishing inside the top four.
The Gunners raced into a 2-0 lead thanks to Alex Iwobi and Alexandre Lacazette.
But Town responded well, but their goal came too late to provide more pressure in pursuit of a point, with Sead Kolasinac putting through his own net in stoppage time.
Relive the action as it happened above.
And breathe. Wow, what an end to the five Premier League games at 3pm.
Where else would the drama be but at the bottom of the table clash at St Mary's, where Southampton looked to have snatched a point through Dale Stephens in injury time to cancel out Bamba's opener.
But Kenneth Zohore made sure Cardiff got a huge victory to rise to 15th.
Liverpool go top of the league again after beating Bournemouth 3-0 thanks to goals from Mane, Wijnaldum and Salah.
Arsenal's hunt for a clean sheet away from home goes on, but goals from Alex Iwobi and Alexandre Lacazette ensured the Gunners got back to winning ways to go level on points with Chelsea.
There was also a win for Watford against Everton as Marco Silva and Richarlison made a losing return to Vicarage Road due to Andre Gray's goal.
There was only one draw, and that game at Selhurst Park where Wilfried Zaha scored for the first time at home this season to cancel out Mark Noble's first-half penalty.
Thank you for following our coverage of the 3pm games, but remember there is still one game remaining in the Premier League this Saturday.
It comes from the Amex, where Brighton entertain Burnley at 5:30pm, so stay with us and keep an eye out on the website for reports and player ratings from all of the 3pm games.
The drama continued after the final whistle at Vicarage Road, as the pressure increases on Marco Silva.
