Chelsea came from behind to thrash Burnley 4-1 as Vincent Kompany's side suffered a sixth Premier League defeat, but Everton bounced back with a 3-0 win over Bournemouth.
Mauricio Pochettino was hoping to build some momentum going into the international break after their victory at Fulham on Monday night, and his team have now finally recorded back-to-back victories in the league.
Wilson Odobert scored after 15 minutes to put Burnley ahead, but an own goal from Ameen Al-Dakhil after 42 minutes meant the two sides went in level at half-time.
New signing Cole Palmer put Chelsea ahead from the spot on 50 minutes, before his former Manchester City team-mate Raheem Sterling scored 15 minutes later, and Nicolas Jackson then grabbed a fourth.
Chelsea are now in 10th spot, with Burnley 18th.
Meanwhile, Everton won their first Premier League home game of the season with a 3-0 victory against Bournemouth.
James Garner scored after just eight minutes to put Sean Dyche’s side ahead, with Jack Harrison adding another just after the half-hour mark.
Midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure made certain of the victory when he scored his side’s third on the hour mark.
The win lifts Everton into 15th on seven points, while the defeat means Bournemouth remain in the drop zone in 19th.
Sheffield United are the one club beneath Bournemouth, as they lost 3-1 at Craven Cottage against Fulham.
Bobby De Cordova-Reid scored on 53 minutes to put Marco Silva’s side clear before Atonee Robinson put through his own next 15 minutes later to restore parity.
Another own goal, this time from Sheffield United’s Wes Foderingham, put Fulham back in front, and Brazilian veteran Willian scored in added time to wrap up the scoring.
Going into the international break, the pressure is now on Sheffield United manager Paul Heckingbottom.
The win sees Fulham in 12th on 11 points, but The Blades have just one point and a goal difference of -16.
