Crystal Palace 0-0 Bournemouth
Wilfried Zaha's mazy run down the left wing ends with a cross in towards Christian Benteke, whose header goes out for a goal-kick.
Huddersfield 0-0 Brighton
Steve Mounie has the best chance of the match for Huddersfield at the John Smith's Stadium but Mat Ryan gets down well to deny him.
GOAL! Crystal Palace 0-1 Bournemouth (Defoe)
10' - Jermain Defoe tucks the ball home to give the visitors the lead after a well-worked corner!
GOAL! Huddersfield 1-0 Brighton (Mounie)
13' - Christopher Schindler's flick-on from Chris Lowe's corner is turned home at the back post by Steve Mounie!
Burnley 0-0 Watford
Johann Berg Gudmundsson almost gives Burnley the lead with a stunning free-kick but Heurelho Gomes dives low to his right to parry the Iceland international's effort behind for a corner.
GOAL! Spurs 1-0 Stoke (Shawcross OG)
21' - Son Heung-min's cross deflects off both Kurt Zouma and Ryan Shawcross and past Jack Butland in the Stoke goal.
Huddersfield 1-0 Brighton
Chris Lowe delivers a sumptuous cross into the box from the left wing but Steve Mounie isn't there to get on the end of it.
That would've been a tap-in.
Spurs 1-0 Stoke
Harry Kane finds himself one-on-one with Jack Butland after Son Heung-min's through ball but the England striker very uncharacteristically puts the ball wide.
