Fulham 1-0 Huddersfield
Claudio Ranieri's side missed a penalty but still managed to pinch all three points in their must-win relegation battle thanks to Aleksandar Mitrovic's stoppage-time winner against Huddersfield.
There was late drama at Craven Cottage as Aboubakar Kamara saw his 82nd-minute penalty saved by Jonas Lossl after many of his team-mates had tried to grab the ball out of the grasp of the Fulham man.
Still there was time for more action as Fulham broke away in the 91st minute and Mitrovic scored the winner to give the hosts a vital three points against their relegation rivals.
Leicester 0-1 Cardiff
There was penalty drama at the King Power Stadium as well as James Maddison saw his poor spot-kick saved by Cardiff keeper Neil Etheridge - who has now saved three of his five Premier League penalties faced this season.
To add insult to injury for the Foxes, Neil Warnock's men than produced a classic smash-and-grab raid as Victor Camarasa fired in a brilliant winner two minutes into stoppage time to bag all three points.
It was a first Premier League away win of the season for the Bluebirds and a bitter disappointment for Claude Puel who had seen his side beat Chelsea and Manchester City previously.
Watford 1-1 Newcastle
More late action came at Vicarage Road as Watford managed to save a point at home to Newcastle with the equaliser coming just eight minutes from the end of a tough battle.
Salomon Rondon put Rafa Benitez's Newcastle ahead just before the half-hour mark, but they could not hold out for all three points as Abdoulaye Doucoure popped up to make it 1-1 eight minutes from time.
Brighton 1-0 Everton
Jurgen Locadia scored the only goal of the game as Brighton maintained their fine home record at the Amex Stadium with a scrappy 1-0 victory over Everton.
The Toffees had responded from a spanking by Tottenham by handing out a drubbing themselves at Burnley but Marco Silva's side could not build on that result as they suffered a seventh defeat of the season.
