LONDON (Reuters) - Liverpool took advantage of Manchester City's dropped points with a 3-1 victory at Crystal Palace on Sunday, taking a small bite out of City's commanding lead of the Premier League.

It was far from vintage form for Liverpool who led 2-0 after a dominant first half but needed a late penalty by Fabinho to quell a stirring Palace fightback at Selhurst Park.

Leicester City drew 1-1 at home to Brighton and Hove Albion -- Danny Welbeck's late equaliser earning ninth-placed Brighton a 12th draw of the season.But Palace grew in belief after the break and when Odsonne Edouard tapped in after 55 minutes they looked capable of salvaging something until a controversial late penalty awarded when Diogo Jota collided with Palace keeper Vicente Guaita.

Chelsea recorded a third win this month against Tottenham, including two in the League Cup semi-final, to get back on track after a worrying slump in league form. "We were working extremely hard for it and it was a tough match," said Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, who was celebrating one year in charge of the club."The effort was outstanding and it was a deserved win.While Tottenham have slipped to seventh with 36 points, they have games in hand over all the teams battling for fourth spot.
