Spurs moved to 18 points with a 1-0 win – matching their best Premier League tally from eight games – courtesy of midfielder Eric Dier’s goal as Joe Ralls’ second-half red card dented Cardiff’s hopes of a comeback. Watford were a goal down when defender Christian Kabasele was shown red, but ended up losing 4-0 at Vicarage Road as Bournemouth took full advantage. Elsewhere, Wolves stretched their unbeaten run to six games with a 1-0 win at Crystal Palace, Everton beat Leicester 2-1 and Huddersfield fought back to draw 1-1 with Burnley. Joshua King scored his third and fourth Premier League goals of the season for Bournemouth, with Callum Wilson and David Brooks also getting on the scoresheet at Vicarage Road. In the Championship, leaders Leeds needed Pontus Jansson’s 88th-minute equaliser to earn a point in a 1-1 draw at home to Brentford.
