A weekend of late goals sees Everton snatch a dramatic victory, Forest’s slump continues, and Aston Villa’s resurgence rolls on.
In a weekend defined by late drama and mounting pressure, the Premier League delivered thrilling narratives up and down the table.
The most stunning conclusion came at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, where a freakish 93rd-minute winner from Jack Grealish ended Crystal Palace’s impressive 19-match unbeaten run. The Eagles had looked set to earn a hard-fought point after Daniel Munoz’s opener was canceled out by an Iliman Ndiaye penalty. But deep into stoppage time, a hopeful clearance deflected off the unfortunate Grealish and trickled into the net, handing Everton a fortunate but priceless victory.
Meanwhile, the pressure is intensifying for Nottingham Forest manager Ange Postecoglou after a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United at St. James’ Park. Goals from Bruno Guimaraes and Nick Woltemade sealed a comfortable win for the Magpies, leaving Postecoglou winless in his first seven games in charge. The defeat piles more pressure on the Australian, with Forest looking increasingly troubled.
There was more late heartbreak for Wolverhampton Wanderers, who were denied their first league win of the season by an 86th-minute equalizer from Brighton’s Jean Paul van Hecke. Wolves had taken a fortunate lead when a Marshall Munetsi volley deflected in off Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen, but they couldn’t hold on for the crucial three points.
In contrast, Aston Villa’s remarkable turnaround continued as a brace from Donyell Malen secured a 2-1 win over Burnley. After failing to win any of their first six games, Unai Emery’s side has now stormed to four consecutive victories, climbing the table with a renewed sense of momentum.
