Arsenal vs Everton: Goalless Gunners

Arsenal remained six points behind Liverpool after failing to break down an Everton side who have now not scored a league away goal in more than six-and-a-half hours of football.

The Gunners were predictably dominant but could not make promising openings tell as the Toffees held on to move five points clear of the bottom three with a game in hand on Ipswich and Wolves.

Liverpool vs Fulham: Jota goal decisive

Liverpool recovered to rescue a point in a thriller at home to Fulham, having had Andy Robertson dismissed six minutes after Andreas Pereira’s 11th-minute opener for Fulham.

Cody Gakpo equalised by heading in Mohamed Salah’s cross two minutes after the break, but Rodrigo Muniz flicked the Cottagers back in front 14 minutes from time.

On his return from an 11-game injury absence, substitute Jota turned smartly and rolled in a composed finish as the leaders drew 2-2 and moved five points clear of second-placed Chelsea.

Forest vs Villa: Elanga ends goal wait in added time

Anthony Elanga picked a pivotal moment to score his first goal of the season for Nottingham Forest, slotting in the 93rd-minute winner as his side won for the first time after being behind in 2024/25 by beating Aston Villa 2-1.

Jhon Duran started ahead of Ollie Watkins for the visitors and headed in after 63 minutes, but Nikola Milenkovic equalised in the 87th minute with his second headed goal in two games as part of an action-packed second half, including an 85th-minute Chris Wood strike that was ruled out following a lengthy Video Assistant Referee check.

Newcastle vs Leicester: Murphy goals menace Foxes

Jacob Murphy struck in the 30th and 60th minutes as Newcastle won for the first time in five matches by handing Leicester a crushing first defeat in three.

Bruno Guimares’ header doubled the Magpies’ lead two minutes after half-time and Alexander Isak nodded in their fourth and final goal two minutes later.

Wolves vs Ipswich: Taylor goal thrills Tractor Boys

Wolves remain four points from safety after losing 2-1 – a fourth consecutive defeat – courtesy of Ipswich substitute Jack Taylor’s 94th-minute header.

Matt Doherty’s 15th-minute own-goal put The Tractor Boys ahead, but the visitors levelled through Matheus Cunha’s excellent finish 18 minutes from time.

Town’s second league win of the season was their first Premier League home victory since April 2002 – during their last campaign in the top flight.
