Their contributions ensured that this fixture became the highest-scoring in Premier League history.
Tottenham Hotspur remains in fifth place, trailing Aston Villa in fourth by seven points, while Liverpool sits in third place, five points behind leaders Arsenal.
The Reds would require a significant stumble from either of the top two teams to have a chance of winning the title.
Meanwhile, Chelsea secured another significant victory at Stamford Bridge by defeating West Ham United 5-0, enhancing their aspirations for success in European competitions.
Moreover, Aston Villa failed to capitalise on the opportunity to narrow the gap for a UEFA Champions League spot after suffering a 1-0 defeat against Brighton.
A victory would have propelled Villa significantly closer to securing a place in Europe’s elite club competition.
Nonetheless, Unai Emery’s side remains in fourth place, maintaining a seven-point lead over Tottenham Hotspur, who have a game in hand.
Brighton’s win saw them climb to 11th position in the standings.
