Sunderland, who began the day fourth from bottom, won 1-0 at Aston Villa while Reading beat fellow strugglers Birmingham City 2-1 to climb away from danger.
Third from bottom Bolton Wanderers ended a run of five defeats after a 0-0 home draw with Manchester City while Middlesbrough overcame doomed Derby County 1-0.
Blackburn Rovers beat Wigan Athletic 3-1 despite playing most of the game with 10 men.
In an early kickoff, Portsmouth’s hopes of securing a top-six finish were dented by a 2-0 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur.
On Sunday, leaders Manchester United host fourth-placed Liverpool while Arsenal, in second, travel to third-placed Chelsea.
