🦁 Spurs shock Man City, wins for Chelsea & Arsenal, Wolves hammer Fulham | OneFootball

Seven Premier League games take place on Sunday as domestic football returns after the November international break.

Here's how it's all unfolding.

Manchester City host Tottenham

Scorers: Maddison 13', 20', Porro 52', Johnson 90+3

Tottenham embarassed Manchester City with an astonishing 4-0 win at the Etihad.

After Pep Guardiola's side dominated the early exchanges, Tottenham scored with their first touch in the home side's box.

Dejan Kulusevski showed great strength and skill to hold up the ball on the wing, before delivering a pin-point cross into the box for James Maddison – who had made an excellent run – to poke the ball home.

And just seven minutes later, Maddison had his second when the ball was given away by Joško Gvardiol. A few quick passes later and an excellent pas from Son Heung-min, and the Englishman easily lobbed Ederson from close range.

Into the second half and more excellent work on the left-hand side from Kulusevski allowed Dominic Solanke to play in Pedro Porro, who crashed his shot high into the net to give Spurs an incredible 3-0 lead.

Manchester City nearly pulled one back, but Erling Haaland's shot grazed the crossbar.

And in injury time, Spurs added insult to injury when some fantastic work from Timo Werner allowed Brennan Johnson to slide in an add the fourth.

The result is Man City's fifth defeat on the bounce.

Arsenal ease past Nottingham Forest

Scorers: Saka 15', Partey 52', Nwaneri 86'

Mikel Arteta's side swept aside high-flying Nottingham Forest in north London, arresting a sliding run of form in the process.

The Gunners began the game brightly, with Jurrien Timber seeing an early goal ruled out for offside after a lengthly VAR check.

After 15 minutes the Gunners did hit the front though, as Bukayo Saka rifled the ball into the back of the net following good work from Martin Ødegaard, who sparkled on his return to the starting XI.

The Gunners continued to dominate proceedings, with Gabriel Jesus firing wide as they searched for a second goal while Leandro Trossard saw a stinging effort saved by Matz Sels.

Just as it was shaping up to be a potential nervy second half for the hosts, they doubled their lead as Thomas Partey sent a curling effort into the far corner to provide Arsenal with some breathing room.

Forest began to see more of the ball as Arsenal sat off, but were still unable to find a way to test David Raya as they headed into the final 15 minutes of the game.

Arteta began to turn to his substitutes, and it was teenage sensation Ethan Nwaneri who added the icing on the cake with his first Premier League goal, after being found by fellow substitute Raheem Sterling.

It confirmed a straightforward but much needed three points for the Gunners, who close in on Liverpool at the top of the Premier League.

Brighton beat Bournemouth

Scorers: João Pedro 4', Mitoma 49'

Brighton edged past Bournemouth despite playing half an hour with 10 men on the South Coast.

Fabian Hurzeler's side needed just four minutes to take the lead against Bournemouth as Joao Pedro swept home from inside the six yard box.

The hosts began to see more of the ball, but struggled to find a response as Justin Kluivert and Evanilson saw efforts saved by Bart Verbruggen as Antoine Semenyo and Marcus Tavernier wasted good opportunities.

The second half began in almost repeat fashion, with Pedro this time turning provider to allow Kaoru Mitoma to double Brighton's advantage with a low finish into the far corner after just four minutes.

Though Bournemouth looked well off the pace, they were handed a lifeline on the hour mark as Carlos Baleba was shown a second yellow card, leaving Brighton to try and defend their lead with 10 men.

But despite dominating the ball, Bournemouth did little to suggest that they could get back into the tie, and the Cherries remained wasteful with the few opportunities they created.

Deep into stoppage time, they pulled one back through David Brooks, but it proved too little too late, and Brighton held onto all three points at the Vitality.

Aston Villa draw with Crystal Palace

Scorers: Watkins 36', Barkley 77'; Sarr 4', Devenny 45+1'

Aston Villa came from behind twice to draw with struggling Crystal Palace at Villa Park as their winless run continued.

It was the Eagles who flew out of the blocks fastest, taking the lead through Ismaila Sarr after just four minutes as the summer signing found the bottom right hand corner from 14 yards out.

UnaI Emery's side began to crank up the pressure in response, having two-thirds of the ball and finally pulling level 10 minutes before the break when Ollie Watkins ran onto a pass from John McGinn before rounding Dean Henderson and poking into an empty net.

Villa squandered the chance to take the lead in the 45th minute though as Henderson kept out a penalty from Youri Tielemans, and just 60 seconds later they found themselves behind once more as Palace broke from the resulting corner and Justin Devenny capped off a fast counter attack by sweeping the ball into the far corner for his first goal for the south London side.

Aston Villa continued to probe the Palace defence but could not find a way through, dominating possession but unable to consistently test Henderson.

The Eagles couldn't keep them out forever though, and eventually the pressure told as Ross Barkley rose highest from a corner to glance a header into the corner and restore parity once more.

Brentford holding on against Everton

Everton and Brentford shared a dull 0-0 draw as the pair added another point to their tallies in a clash that won't live long in the memory.

The Toffees were looking to kickstart their season after just one win in their last five, and began brightly in front of an expectant Goodison Park crowd, having a series of efforts on the Brentford goal.

The half continued in that fashion too, with Thomas Frank's side unable to find a way through the Everton defence despite seeing the majority of the ball.

Then disaster struck for Brentford three minutes before half time, as Christian Norgaard lunged for the ball but only found the knee of Jordan Pickford as he chased a loose ball, leaving the visitors down to 10 men on the stroke of half time.

Unsurprisingly, Everton began to take a stranglehold on proceedings after the interval, but they could not find a way through and Brentford slowly began to grow in confidence as they sought a snatch and grab win.

However, neither side could find a way through, and they had to settle for a point that Brentford were definitely the more grateful to receive.

Wolves thrash Fulham

Scorers: Iwobi 20' : Cunha 31', 87', Gomes 53', Guedes 90+5'

Gary O'Neil's side claimed a second successive win as Matheus Cunha inspired a 4-1 win at Craven Cottage.

The Old Gold found themselves a goal down after a relatively even start, as Alex Iwobi capitalised on a spell of Fulham pressure by finding the far corner from outside the penalty area.

10 minutes later, O'Neil's side were level though, as it was their turn to enjoy a spell of dominance which Matheus Cunha capped off with his fifth goal of the season, dinking the ball over the onrushing Leno after ghosting between two Fulham defenders onto a long ball.

The two sides headed into the interval level but it was Wolves who flew out of the blocks faster, Cunha turning provider to allow Joao Gomes to blast the visitors into the lead for the first time in the game.

As Fulham pushed on for an equaliser, Wolves stood firm and Cunha capped an excellent afternoon with a stunning strike from 25 yards out to wrap up the three points for Wolves three minutes from time.

There was even time for Goncalo Guedes to get in on the act in stoppage time as doubled their number of Premier League wins this season.

Chelsea hold on against Leicester City

Scorers: Ayew 90+5 [pen] ;Jackson 15', Fernandez 75'

Chelsea survived a late Leicester City scare to pick up three points on Enzo Maresca's return to the King Power Stadium.

The visitors dominated the early possession as they probed Leicester's low block for an opening, with João Félix and Noni Madueke looking bright in the early stages.

The Foxes were handed an early blow after just 10 minutes when Harry Winks was forced off through injury, with fellow ex-Spurs man Oliver Skipp replacing him.

Five minutes later they were behind, as Nicolas Jackson enjoyed some smart interplay with Enzo Fernandez before flicking the ball past Mads Hermansen with the outside of his foot.

Chelsea remained well on top, with Madueke testing the Leicester goalkeeper with a low effort as the Foxes threatened to lose their discipline, with all three midfielders finding themselves in the book inside 31 minutes.

The Blues had the ball in the back of the net 15 minutes before the break as Madueke swept home, only for the offside flag to cut short their celebrations.

Leicester were looking to hit the Blues on the break and almost succeeded as Casey McAteer fired narrowly wide, before Wilfried Ndidi squandered another good chance from 14 yards out.

At the other end, a quick Chelsea counter attack from an awful Leicester free-kick saw Madueke fire wide as they headed into the break a goal to the good.

Leicester came out brightly in the second half, but Chelsea wasted a glorious chance to double their advantage when Palmer seemed certain to score, only to see his effort from two yards out his Madueke on the line and ricochet clear.

It was a more even game as the tie wore on though, with the Blues unable to find the second goal to kill off the game and Leicester growing in confidence.

But 15 minutes from time the second goal finally arrived, as Hermansen could only push Nicolas Jackson's header as far as Enzo Fernandez, who turned home from five yards out.

Leicester City felt that they should have had a penalty five minutes from time when Wesley Fofana brought down Stephy Mavididi inside the Chelsea penalty area, but VAR chose not to overrule the referee.

In stoppage time, they did finally get a penalty after Romeo Lavia stood on Bobby DeCordova Reid, and Jordan Ayew converted to pull the deficit back to just one goal.

However, it proved too little too late for the Foxes, and Chelsea held on for what proved a difficult three points at the King Power Stadium.

Sunday sees two huge Premier League clashes as Liverpool face Southampton and Manchester United host Ipswich under their new boss.
