🔴 LIVE: Fulham lead 10-man Liverpool; Ipswich ahead; Newcastle net

Must read

The Premier League is back with five huge games at the top and bottom of the table.

You can follow all the action right here throughout day.


Liverpool 0-1 Fulham

Scorers: Pereira 11′

Liverpool hosted Fulham with Arne Slot’s men looking to maintain their four-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.

It was the home side who came out of the blocks fastest here with Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo both having efforts inside the opening 10 minutes.

But it was the away side who took the lead on 11 minutes as Andreas Pereira’s volley from inside the area found the back of the net.

A nightmare beginning to the game got worse for Liverpool as Andy Robertson was given a red card for a late challenge on Pereira.


Arsenal 0-0 Everton

Scorers:

Mikel Arteta’s side welcomed the Toffees to the Emirates with Arsenal knowing that a win would take them above Chelsea and into second.

The Gunners enjoyed most of the possession early on but struggled to break down a rugged Everton defence. And despite enjoying five corners inside the opening half an hour, still it remained goalless in north London.


Newcastle 1-0 Leicester

Scorers: Murphy 30′

Newcastle came into this clash having failed to win any of their last four games. Leicester meanwhile were rejuvenated thanks to the arrival of new boss Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Anthony Gordon was looking dangerous and after his effort was saved, the Magpies whipped in a corner for Dan Burns who then saw his header go over the bar.

The hosts had the momentum and they made that pay on 30 minutes as Jacob Murphy whipped in a glorious finish from the edge of the area.


Wolves 0-1 Ipswich

Scorers: Doherty (OG) 15′

Gary O’Neil remained in charge of the Molineux side despite claiming just nine points all season.

The Black Country club welcomed fellow strugglers Ipswich for a genuine six-pointer but it was the away side who took the lead.

Matt Doherty netted a comedy own goal on 15 minutes to give the Tractor Boys an early advantage.
