Liverpool 2-2 Fulham: Jota Saves the Day
Liverpool, down to ten men after Andy Robertson’s early red card for a foul on Harry Wilson, fought back to earn a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Fulham at Anfield.
Former Manchester United star Andreas Pereira opened the scoring for Fulham in the 11th minute. Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo equalized early in the second half with a back-post header from Mohamed Salah’s cross. Fulham regained the lead on 76 minutes when Rodrigo Muniz finished a pinpoint delivery from Antonee Robinson.
Just as Fulham looked set to secure all three points, Diogo Jota struck with a late equalizer in the 86th minute to keep Liverpool at the summit of the league table, five points clear of second-placed Chelsea. Fulham sit comfortably in ninth place.
Arsenal 0-0 Everton: Dyche’s Defense Stands Firm
Arsenal were left frustrated by a resilient Everton side at the Emirates in a match dominated by the home team. Despite enjoying 75% possession and 13 shots, Arsenal failed to find a breakthrough.
Everton’s defense, led by standout performances from Jarrad Branthwaite and Vitalii Mykolenko, held strong. Jordan Pickford denied Bukayo Saka with a crucial save, preserving a clean sheet for the Toffees.
The stalemate moves Arsenal three points clear of Manchester City in third, while Everton remain in 15th place, inching further away from the relegation zone.
Newcastle 4-0 Leicester: Murphy’s Brace Ends Winless Run
Newcastle United roared back to form with a dominant 4-0 victory over Leicester City at St. James’ Park. Jacob Murphy scored twice, with Bruno Guimarães and Alexander Isak adding goals to secure an emphatic win.
The result snapped Newcastle’s four-match winless streak and moved Eddie Howe’s side to 11th in the standings. Meanwhile, Leicester slipped to 16th, suffering their first defeat under new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Ipswich Edge Wolves in Relegation Thriller
In a crucial relegation battle, Ipswich Town emerged victorious with a 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux. Wolves defender Matt Doherty’s own goal gave Ipswich an early lead, but Matheus Cunha equalized after a mistake from Ipswich goalkeeper Arijanet Muric.
The decisive moment came deep into stoppage time when Jack Taylor scored the winner for Ipswich. Wolves’ Rayan Aït-Nouri saw red in the dying moments, capping off a night of frustration for the home side.
The win lifts Ipswich to 18th, three points above Wolves, who remain in 19th place. The result increases pressure on Wolves manager Gary O’Neil as his team struggles for form.
