Socceroos goalkeeper Mat Ryan's magnificent late penalty save has salvaged a precious Premier League point for Brighton & Hove Albion at struggling Stoke City.
Chris Hughton's side took a deserved lead through Jose Izquierdo's first-half opener, but third-bottom Stoke equalised through Xherdan Shaqiri in the second half.
But there was late drama in the 88th minute when referee Bob Madley pointed to the spot after Dale Stephens tussled with Jese in the box.
However, Charlie Adam's effort was well saved by the diving Ryan low to his right and, as the Scot attempted to tap in the rebound, he was robbed by a sliding challenge from Lewis Dunk.
Seconds later a goalbound header from Mame Biram Diouf was turned away off the line by Anthony Knockaert.
Ryan was understandably delighted post match, tweeting praise for his team and sharing a video of his heroic moment.
His manager Hughton thought it had been a "real poor decision" to give the penalty and labelled it "very soft".
"The lad goes down very, very easily and probably we feel a little bit of justice done with the save, which was a super save. And of course Lewis Dunk with some brilliant defending from that," he told Sky Sports.
Brighton are 13th, three points better off than Stoke, who are level on points with 17th-placed Newcastle United.
Sergio Aguero scored four goals as Manchester City extended its lead to 16 points and Harry Kane netted again as Tottenham Hotspur beat arch-rivals Arsenal 1-0.
After a sluggish first half in the early kick-off at Wembley, Kane jumped highest to head home his seventh derby goal in seven games and 23rd in the league this season.
Spurs, who would have won by a greater margin but for an inspired performance from goalkeeper Petr Cech, climbed two places to third while Arsenal sit six points adrift of Liverpool in fourth and Juergen Klopp's side have a game in hand.
At the Etihad Stadium, Aguero and the brilliant Kevin De Bruyne, who added three assists, were in inspired form as City blew away Leicester in the second half to seal a 23rd league victory from 27 games this season.
"I think we played brilliantly today, the boys did really well and of course Sergio Aguero was a different class today," Raheem Sterling, scorer of City's opener, told the BBC.
"He's a phenomenal striker. He scores all different types of goals — tap-ins, cheeky chips and screamers and we've seen that today.
"It was always going to be a matter of time before he overtook my goal tally."
Everton bounced back from a humiliating 5-1 defeat at Arsenal with Gylfi Sigurdsson, Oumar Niasse and Tom Davies on target in a straightforward 3-1 win over Crystal Palace at Goodison Park.
The Toffees climbed to ninth and the only negative was Luka Milivojevic's late consolation for Palace from the penalty spot.
In south Wales, Swansea registered a third Premier League victory in four matches with Ki Sung-yueng's late strike lifting them to 15th after a tense 1-0 victory over out-of-form Burnley.
West Ham United climbed five points above the relegation zone and ended a run of three league games without victory with a 2-0 win over Watford thanks to goals from Javier Hernandez and Marko Arnautovic.
