Arsenal and Manchester City both won at the top of the Premier League, while Crystal Palace and Norwich bagged crucial victories at the bottom.

Santi Cazorla scored two second-half goals to earn Arsenal a 2-0 win over Fulham at Emirates Stadium to keep them a point clear at the top of Manchester City, who beat Cardiff City 4-2 at the Etihad Stadium.

At the other end, meanwhile, Crystal Palace claimed a huge 1-0 win over Tony Pulis' former club Stoke to move them out of the relegation zone.

West Ham dropped into it courtesy of a 3-1 home defeat to Newcastle, while Norwich climbed to 12th with a 1-0 win over Hull City at Carrow Road secured by a late Ryan Bennett goal.

Sunderland came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Southampton at the Stadium of Light in the day's early kick-off.

Championship: Crystal Palace 1 Derby 1

An own-goal from Paddy McCarthy gifted Derby a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace in the Championship on Friday.

Chris Martin’s deflected strike from 25 yards gave Palace the lead after 15 minutes at Selhurst Park, only for McCarthy’s unfortunate intervention after 75 minutes to help the visitors end a run of five successive defeats.

Glenn Murray almost put Palace ahead inside the first minute after being played in by Darren Ambrose, but Derby goalkeeper Frank Fielding intervened.

Peter Ramage then found Martin and the on-loan Norwich beat Fielding from distance to notch his first goal for Palace.

Derby responded well and dominated possession but struggled to break down a resolute Palace defence.

The visitors continued to push forward after the interval and their industry was rewarded when McCarthy turned Paul Green’s cross into his own net.

Green almost snatched a winner in injury time but a fine save from Julian Speroni ensured a share of the spoils.
