⏪ Arsenal stunned; Liverpool see off Fulham, stalemate at the Gtech & more | OneFootball

FULL TIME! LIVERPOOL 2-0 FULHAM

Brilliant goals from 17-year old Rio Ngumoha and Mohamed Salah secure a much-needed win for Liverpool.

It ends a run of three consecutive losses in all competitions and three without a win in the Premier League, and lifts some of the pressure off Arne Slot.

The Reds close the gap on fourth-placed Aston Villa to two points and, more importantly, are four clear of sixth-placed Chelsea ahead of Sunday's fixtures.

Like Ngumoha, Salah comes off to a standing ovation with Trey Nyoni on in his place.

We're into four minutes of added time.

CHANCE!

Substitute Raúl Jiménez flashes a snap shot just wide of the post.

Fulham will be very disappointed not to have scored here.

HUGE MISS!

Smith Rowe is found from a Ryan Sessegnon cut back but he side-foots the ball just wide of the post.

Was that Fulham's big chance?

Calvin Bassey just gets a head to the ball before Isak can strike.

A goal for the club-record signing would cap a perfect afternoon.

Liverpool break and Salah finds Gakpo, who has his shot blocked by a combination of Fulham defenders.

Joe Gomez is also on for Jeremie Frimpong.

Rio Ngumoha comes off to a standing applause to be replaced by Alexander Isak, who plays at Anfield for the first time this year after his leg break.

It is all Fulham right now but they can't find a way through.

20 minutes to go at Anfield.

Fulham did come from 2-0 down at Old Trafford just over two months ago only to lose 3-2 in injury time.

What odds on a repeat?

HUGE CHANCE!

Fulham's best chance of the day but Rodrigo Muniz can't finish.

He is somehow free from a Harry Wilson but his header is mistimed and Liverpool clear it away.

They have had plenty of the ball and are forcing corners.

A goal for the Cottagers would totally change the mood at Anfield.

A Timothy Castange long throw comes to nothing as Fulham continue to look for a way back into this game.

They haven't really had a true chance as we move past the hour mark.

Only Wayne Rooney and James Milner have scored two Premier League goals at a younger age than Ngumoha.

Not half bad company.

Gakpo comes close after another good Liverpool attack.

Needless to say, the next goal here is absolutely huge.

Lukić has the ball in the net two minutes after coming on but he's offside.

Fulham really need to go at Liverpool here.

BACK UNDERWAY!

Can the Cottagers find a way back into this game or will Liverpool secure a much-needed win?

Marco Silva makes two changes for the second half with Saša Lukić and Emile Smith Rowe on for Oscar Bobb and Josh King.

Curtis Jones picked up a knock at the end of the first half and has been replaced by Ryan Gravenberch.

HALF TIME!

Liverpool are in command thanks to Ngumoha and Salah.

GOAL! SALAH MAKES IT 2-0!

From the 17-year-old to the near 34-year-old!

Ngumoha puts the ball across the box and it comes to Salah who perfectly guides the ball past the reaches of Leno.

Vintage stuff from the Egyptian and Liverpool are flying.

GOAL! NGUOMHA STRIKES!

And what a fantastic finish it is.

He gets the ball on the left, shifts inside, shimmys the defender and curls a stunning effort past Bernd Leno.

What a moment for the 17-year-old!

CLOSE!

Wilson then tries one, trying to lift the ball over the Liverpool keeper.

It just goes over the bar.

He scored against his boyhood club in January and has come close again here.

Alex Iwobi had the Cottager's first shot on target, and Oscar Bobb has now forced Giorgi Mamardashvili into his first save with a strike from 20 yards out.

It's an easy one for the Georgian but Fulham's confidence is growing.

Harry WIlson - who came through at Liverpol - gets on the ball for what feels like the first time,

His mishit cross has too much on it for Josh King.

In truth, Fulham have done well to weather the storm here.

Liverpool are very much on top here. A goal feels imminent.

CLOSE!

Cody Gakpo gets his first sight of goal rrom 20 yards out but just drags the ball wide of the post.

Ngumoha goes down under very light contact from Oscar Bobb but the penalty appeals are waived away by Anthony Taylor.

SALAH GOES CLOSE!

The Egyptian forces Leno into his first save with a fierce shot from the right-hand side.

First chance of the game fittingly goes to Robertson.

The ball sets up nicely for him on the edge of the box from a Jeremie Frimpong cutback but he doesn't connect with it cleanly.

Slot will be happy with his side's start.

Rio Ngumoha is starting just his second Premier League game, and he's had a decent start.

He gets in down the left but fires his cross straight at Bernd Leno.

Liverpool might be 5th and Fulham 11th but there is just five points between the sides, showing just how tight the race for Europe is.

Liverpool have started relatively well here but Fulham look comfortable.

Cracking atmosphere at Anfield with songs for Andy Robertson, who during the week announced he will leave at the end of the season.

KICK OFF!

And we are underway.

Minutes away from kick off at Anfield where Liverpool are looking to end a harrowing run of three consecutive losses.

They come up against their current hoodoo club Fulham, who have their own aspirations of Europe.

Can Arne Slot ease the pressure on himself and close the gap on the top four or will the Cottagers pile on the pain?

FULL TIME! BURNLEY 0-2 BRIGHTON

Wieffer's surprise double seals a deserved win for the Seagulls, who have now won three in a row and five of their last six.

They are just three points off Liverpool in fifth.

As for Burnley, their relegation will be confirmed in the coming weeks.

FULL TIME! BRENTFORD 2-2 EVERTON

Dewsbury-Hall grabs a late, late point for the Toffees to keep the sides level on points in the table.

Both remain in the race for European football but miss the chance to leapfrog Chelsea into sixth.

Ouattara almost connects with a Lewis-Potter ball into the box.

Schade got a head on it before he was about to strike and that's the last of it.

GOAL! EVERTON LEVEL AGAIN!

Dewsbury-Hall makes up for his miss earlier with an equaliser in stoppage time.

The ball breaks to him on the left-hand side of the box and he smashes brilliantly past Kelleher.

Big, big goal.

GOAL! BRIGHTON SEAL THE WIN!

And it's Wieffer again! The defender hammers the ball in from the edge of the box after Ward-Prowse loses the ball inside his own box to Kaoru Mitoma.

Game over.

Brentford are currently ahead of Chelsea and level on points with Liverpool.

Can they hold on and keep their Champions League hopes on track?

What a remarkable season for the Bees and Keith Andrews!

The Brazilian now has 21 Premier League goals for the season, which moves him past Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbeumo for the best return from a Brentford player in the top flight!

He is also just one off Erling Haaland in the race for the golden boot.

GOAL! THIAGO DOES IT AGAIN!

Everton were on top but it's Brentford who have taken the late lead!

Michael Kayode picks the ball up on the right and shoots with the outside of his boot. It deflects off Thiago's hip and into the net.

Surely he didn't mean it but he won't care a bit!

Triple change from Moyes with Thierno Barry, Tim Iroegbunam and Tyrique George coming on for Beto, Dwight McNeil and Idrissa Gueye.

Can one of them find the winner?

BIG CHANCE!

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall just has to do better in that position.

He finds himself one-on-one with Kelleher but instead of shooting, checks back inside and has his shot blocked by the covering defenders.

His reaction said it all. Head in hands.

A win here would be huge for either side.

Brighton are in the ascendancy at Turf Moor but Burnley are hanging on.

Another goal and this one is over.

WHAT A SAVE!

Iliman Ndiaye cuts inside from the left and his shot looks to be heading with the aid of a deflection.

Caoimhín Kelleher is going the other way but gets a toe to the ball. Fantastic stop from the Irishman.

The replay shows Bashir Humphreys was offside when James Ward-Prowse whipped his free-kick in.

The defender bundled the ball in after Bart Verbruggen parried it into his path but the goal will not stand.

BURNLEY GOAL RULED OUT!

The Clarets thought they had levelled but the offside flag goes up.

There is a VAR check though...

OFF THE BAR!

Nathan Collins has a free run into the box and hits the bar with header.

It's a great free kick delivery from Mathias Jensen and the Bees' skipper should have scored.

Big let off for Everton.

BACK UNDERWAY!

Reiss Nelson is on for Mikkel Damsgaard - the on-loan Brentford winger has played just 55 minutes in the league this season.

He has 45 to impress here.

HALF TIME!

Everton have done well to draw level after their horror start at Brentford while Brighton lead at Burnley.

As things stand, Brighton are into ninth and just a point off Brentford and Everton.

All three clubs are remarkably in the hunt for Champions League football.

GOAL! BRIGHTON MAKE IT 1-0!

It's been coming and the Seagulls have struck just before half-time.

Pascal Gross puts a brilliant low cross into the box which Mats Wieffer side-foots in at the backpost.

Brighton are on top at Turf Moor now, at least in terms of possession.

They haven't had a real chance of note with Welbeck firing a free-kick straight at Dúbravka.

GOAL! EVERTON LEVEL!

They've stepped it up and now they are level.

Keane-Lewis Potter loses the ball to Jake O'Brien in the right-hand corner and Idrissa Geueye puts it into the box for Beto to power a header home.

Excellent finish from the striker, who's in great form right now.

Thiago's early goal has led to near-total control from Brentford in the opening 20 minutes.

However, Everton are coming back into the game.

Scott Parker's men have overcome that, though, and are on top against Brighton.

They've enjoyed most of the ball.

Almost an own goal at Turf Moor to join the list of recent clangers.

Hjalmar Ekdal, under pressure from Danny Welbeck, plays the ball back to Martin Dúbravka.

However, the defender hit it too hard forcing his goalkeeper to readjust with a diving header.

GOAL! THIAGO MAKES IT 1-0!

The new Brazil international makes no mistake with a very cool spot kick.

That's 20 league goals for the season for him!

PENALTY TO BRENTFORD!

Inside two minutes, Jordan Pickford takes down Kevin Schade inside the box and Igor Thiago has a golden chance to give the Bees the lead.

KICK OFF!

And we're underway at the Gtech Stadium and Turf Moor.

Brighton are another side bang in form and with European aspirations and they take on Burnley at Turf Moor.

A win will move them ahead of the Cherries while the Clarets know any hope of the greatest escape requires three points here.

Bournemouth's win moves them into 9th, just a point behind Brentford and Everton.

Those two sides meet at the Gtech Stadium in 10 minutes with the winner - if there is one - leapfrogging Chelsea into 6th and level on points with Liverpool.

Could we see a shock Champions League qualifier?

Bournemouth's unbeaten streak...

FT: Arsenal 1-2 Bournemouth

CLOSE!

Arsenal work it well but Álex Jiménez makes a goal-saving interception to deny Gabriel. He's injured in the process and it's his last contribution of the game as he makes way.

Five additional minutes to be played.

BIG MISS!

Djordje Petrovic pushes a cross from Dowman back into a dangerous area and a bit of pinball ends with Viktor Gyökeres firing a glorious opportunity high and wide.

CHANCE!

Arsenal are given a free-kick out wide and Declan Rice's delivery is dangerous but just about evades the red shirts in the box.

It's cleared and Arsenal come again but the flag goes up for offside.

Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth

An outrageous season so far from the teenager!

GOAL! THAT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE!

First attempt on goal and it goes Bournemouth's way. A cross deflects off Saliba and Eli Junior Kroupi meets it to stick it into the back of the net.

Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth

10 minutes gone...

Very little goal mouth action to report so far. Arsenal still seeing more of the ball but are yet to truly create anything with it.

The visitors dealing with them well so far.

Quiet start to proceedings as Arsenal look to get a foot hold in the game. No efforts on goal so far but the hosts are seeing plenty of the ball.
