MANCHESTER (Reuters): Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League top-four hopes were given a massive boost on Saturday as they won 4-0 at Aston Villa thanks to a hat-trick from Son Heung-min as Manchester United and Arsenal suffered damaging defeats. Chelsea bounced back from their Champions League loss with an emphatic 6-0 win at Southampton while Leeds United eased their worries at the bottom with a 3-0 win at relegation-threatened Watford.

Leaders Manchester City host second-placed Liverpool on Sunday, leaving the focus of Saturday's games on the battle for the fourth Champions League spot.

Manchester United went down to a 1-0 loss at struggling Everton at Goodison Park while Arsenal were handed a surprise 2-1 home defeat by Brighton & Hove Albion.

The results left Spurs on 57 points, three ahead of Arsenal, who have a game in hand. West Ham United and Manchester United are both on 51 points.

Spurs' fourth win a row was testament again to the effectiveness of Antonio Conte's attacking trio of Son, Harry Kane and Dejan Kulusevski.
