Aston Villa's push to secure Champions League football continued as Unai Emery's men came from behind to beat Bournemouth 3-1 at Villa Park.
Having gone a goal down through Dominic Solanke's 31st-minute penalty, Villa turned things around with Morgan Rogers equalising in first-half stoppage time, Moussa Diaby putting them ahead just before the hour mark and Leon Bailey subsequently adding a third in the 78th minute.
Ollie Watkins set up the finishes from Diaby and Bailey as he became the Premier League's outright leading assist maker this season with 12, to go with the 19 goals that see him sit only one behind joint leaders Erling Haaland and Cole Palmer in the Golden Boot race.
The result, strengthening Villa's grip on fourth place, caps an excellent few days for the midlands outfit after last Sunday's 2-0 win at Arsenal and Thursday's penalty shootout triumph at Lille that took them into the Europa Conference League semi-finals.
With four league games to go they are six points clear of fifth-placed Tottenham, who have two games in hand. Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth stay 13th.
A bright start from Villa saw Watkins' shot deflect over off Illia Zabarnyi, John McGinn drive wide and Pau Torres just fail to connect with Diaby's delivery at the far post.
Bournemouth threatened just past the quarter-hour mark when Justin Kluivert's firm hit brought a good save out of Emiliano Martinez.
And after Diaby scuffed off-target from a good position, the visitors exerted further pressure, with shots from Dango Ouattara and Ryan Christie going wide before Milos Kerkez was brought down by Matty Cash - scorer of a vital late goal at Lille - and referee Tim Robinson pointed to the spot.
Martinez had pulled off two saves in Thursday's shootout, but was unable to produce one on this occasion as Solanke rifled past the Argentinian for his 18th league goal of the season.
Cash, looking to make swift amends, fired wide soon after, before Kluivert did the same via a deflection.
Rogers then brought the game back level just prior to the interval, latching on to fine ball from Bailey, cutting inside Adam Smith and lashing into the net.
And the hosts subsequently moved in front 12 minutes into the second half when Watkins laid the ball to Diaby and the Frenchman finished from close range.
Martinez then did well again as he parried Ouattara's header, and after Rogers found the side netting, Bournemouth substitute Antoine Semenyo skewed into the stand.
Watkins tried his luck in the 75th minute, driving wide, and moments later he ended up as provider again as he sent the ball goalwards and Bailey was on hand to tap in for 3-1.
Everton secured three crucial points when they beat relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest 2-0 at Goodison Park to ease their own Premier League survival hopes and move five points clear of the drop zone.
With Everton and Forest being docked eight and four points respectively for financial breaches, Everton are 16th in the standings with 30 points, having played one game fewer than Forest, who sit four points below in 17th place.
Forest were furious at being denied three penalty claims and issued a strongly worded complaint on social media immediately after the game.
There was little to separate the two sides in the opening minutes, but the hosts stepped up the pace and were rewarded in the 29th minute when Idrissa Gueye's clinical strike from outside the box found the bottom corner past Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels.
It was the Senegal international's first goal for Everton since 2017.
Dwight McNeil doubled their advantage in the second half with a low shot from distance.
Everton, who suffered a 6-0 hammering at Chelsea on Monday, showed much better fight against Forest, who looked threatening on several occasions but were denied by the home side's diligent defence.
Everton's Portuguese striker Beto was carried off on a stretcher in added time due to a head injury. The club said he had been taken to hospital as a precaution.
The Forest camp were angry at being denied three penalty claims, all against Ashley Young after the Everton fullback knocked the foot of Giovanni Reyna, followed by a handball claim and a challenge on Callum Hudson-Odoi in the box.
Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta netted a brace as they romped to a 5-2 rout of West Ham United with four goals inside 31 minutes including an exquisite bicycle kick by Eberechi Eze.
Palace are 14th in the table, 11 points above the relegation zone, while West Ham are eighth on 48 points, but the two teams directly above them on 50 points apiece -- Newcastle and Manchester United -- have two games in hand.
Michael Olise opened the floodgates in the seventh minute, before Eze's strike nine minutes later had the crowd at a sun-drenched Selhurst Park roaring. Hammers keeper Lukasz Fabianski saved a shot by Mateta with his right foot, but the ball looped up to Eze to fire home the rebound into the roof of the net.
West Ham's Emerson scored an own goal in the 20th minute, then Mateta netted his first of two in the 31st for a 4-0 lead.
Michail Antonio pulled one back in the 40th minute before Mateta bagged his second in the 64th.
Palace keeper Dean Henderson gifted West Ham an 89th-minute goal when he mishandled a pass back from defender Tyrick Mitchell.
