Chelsea maintained their unbeaten run under Graham Potter but had to settle for a point after a damp squib of a derby at Brentford finished goalless.
The Blues made the short trip across west London on the back of five successive victories in all competitions, winning each of the last four without conceding.
Once again they kept a clean sheet, but there was a distinct lack of cutting edge up front as they drew a blank against the Bees.
There was also another injury scare for England boss Gareth Southgate after midfielder Conor Gallagher limped off early on.
Ivan Toney, another England World Cup hopeful, had a header from Mads Roerslev's cross tipped over the crossbar by Kepa Arrizabalaga and was off-target just before half-time.
Brentford should have taken the lead five minutes into the second half when Bryan Mbeumo had a free header in front of goal, five yards out, from another Roerslev cross, but the Cameroon forward planted his header straight at Kepa.
The hosts went closest to snatching all three points when Rico Henry’s shot crashed into the side-netting.
Southampton eased mounting pressure on manager Ralph Hasenhuttl by climbing out of the Premier League relegation zone thanks to a nervy win over Bournemouth.
Che Adams' early header proved decisive at Vitality Stadium as Saints ended a five-match winless run and kept a first clean sheet in 17 top-flight games, dating back to April.
In the ninth minute, Romain Perraud delivered an inviting first-time cross from the left and top scorer Adams escaped Marcos Senesi to divert a flicked header into the far corner and claim his first goal since August.
Hasenhuttl greeted the breakthrough by raising his arms, clenching his fists and roaring with delight in the direction of the jubilant travelling fans.
Bournemouth dominated the second half but created little across the evening apart from Cherries midfielder Philip Billing forcing a routine diving save from Saints Irish goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu.
Southampton’s overdue victory lifted them to 14th, two points and three places below their hosts, while providing welcome respite for under-fire boss Hasenhuttl.
Bournemouth slipped to a first defeat in seven games under the guidance of interim manager Gary O'Neil, missing out on what would have been a joint club record unbeaten run in the top-flight.
Miguel Almiron's fifth goal of the season handed in-form Newcastle a third Premier League win in four games as they ground their way to a 1-0 victory over Everton.
The Paraguay international’s class 31st-minute finish was enough to clinch the three points on a night when Eddie Howe’s side were not at their best and had to survive a second-half fightback by the Toffees to extend their unbeaten run to six matches.
Everton, for whom striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin played 73 minutes in his first start of the season, were decidedly second-best before the break and perhaps fortunate to be just a single goal behind.
They improved markedly as the Magpies tired but without ever troubling goalkeeper Nick Pope and slipped to a third successive defeat as a result.
The home side took the lead 14 minutes before the break when, after Murphy had headed Trippier's ball back across goal, it was fed out to Guimaraes, whose pass was perfectly-weighted for Almiron to clip a superb shot over the helpless Pickford and inside the far post.
Newcastle might have increased their lead significantly as they took the game by the scruff of the neck, Bruno Guimaraes twice shooting just wide either side of Jordan Pickford’s save from Fabian Schar’s bullet header before Dan Burn only just cleared the target.
The first half drew do a close in acrimonious fashion after Anthony Gordon, on his return from suspension, went to ground under Burn's challenge with both the midfielder and Schar booked for their part in the melee which ensued.
A rare error from Trippier allowed Gray to race clear down the Everton left three minutes after the restart, only for the midfielder to drag his cross behind the blue shirts arriving in the middle to let the Magpies off the hook.
Substitute Joe Willock glanced a 77th-minute Trippier free-kick past the far post and then headed over with four minutes remaining, but there was no way back for the visitors.
