The Christmas football fest continues on Monday evening, with three Premier League fixtures to enjoy.
Follow along live with us.
Scorers: Delap 12' (PEN), Hutchinson 53'
Relegation-threatened Ipswich delivered a famous night at Portman Road with a 2-0 win over Chelsea.
Ipswich were awarded a penalty when Liam Delap was wiped out by Filip Jorgensen, and the 21-year-old forward stepped up and converted the spot-kick that he had earned.
Not long into the second half and former Chelsea man Omari Hutchinson doubled the Tractor Boys' lead, finishing calmly into the bottom corner after Axel Disasi had given the ball away.
Ipswich now have three wins under their belt, as Enzo Maresca's side lose ground in the title race.
Scorers: Adingra 12', Lamptey 81'; Watkins 36', Rogers 47'
Aston Villa continued their trend of conceding late goals as they succumbed to a 2-2 draw with Brighton.
The visitors took the lead when Lewis Dunk punted hopeful ball forward for João Pedro to chase, finding Simon Adingra, curled a beautiful finish into the far corner.
Villa were soon level when João Pedro attempted a clearance but instead kicked the boot of Morgan Rogers and a penalty was given. Ollie Watkins took the spot-kick duly converted.
No sooner had the second half kicked off than Morgan Rogers put the Villains ahead after Watkins had played him in nicely, the 22-year-old taking a touch off his chest and firing his shot past goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen.
Yet Brighton were not ready to lie down, and with just under 10 minutes to go Tariq Lamptey fired home from a Pedro flick.
Scorers: Isak 4', Joelinton 19'
Manchester United completed a miserable December as they lost 2-0 to Newcastle United at Old Trafford.
Newcastle took a lead in under five minutes as Lewis Hall delivered a sublime cross from the left-hand side, for Alexander Isak to head home the finish.
Things went from bad to worse for Manchester United when Anthony Gordon swung in a pinpoint cross from the left, allowing Joelinton to power home a header from a central position.
The result bumps Eddie Howe's side up to fifth in the table, whereas Man Utd now sit just seven points above the relegation zone.
The next Premier League fixture comes on New Year's Day, when Brentford host Arsenal at the Gtech Community Stadium.
