Everton continue top form with Palace win

Scorers: Beto 42', Alcaraz 80'; Mateta 47'

Everton came back to win 2-1 against Crystal Palace in the evening Premier League kick-off.

Crystal Palace began on the front foot, forcing Everton stopper Jordan Pickford into making a number of early saves.

The Eagles then had the ball in the back of the net, only for Jefferson Lerma's attempt to be disallowed.

Just before half time, Palace were unlucky again as Ismaïla Sarr crashed his shot against the underside of the crossbar.

Almost immediately afterwards, Palace gave the ball away from a throw-in, allowing Everton to break and take the lead against the run of play when Beto dinked his effort over Dean Henderson.

Into the second half, and the home side hit back thanks to Jean-Philippe Mateta's quick reactions and left-footed strike, with a lengthy VAR check confirming that he had indeed fired his side level.

With ten minutes of normal time remaining, Everton struck again as Carlos Alcaraz hit the ball low and hard beyond Henderson after the ball had pinged about in the box.

The result puts Moyes' side level on points with Palace, 13 points above the drop zone.

Magic Marmoush stars for City

Scorers: Marmoush 19', 24', 33', McAtee 83'

Omar Marmoush scored a first half hat-trick in the space of just 14 minutes to help Manchester City thrash an abject Newcastle outfit 4-0 on Saturday afternoon.

City took the lead when Marmoush lobbed home for his first goal for the club (and his 20th of the season overall) after a lapse from Kieran Trippier let him in on goal.

And no sooner had he scored his first in sky blue than his second quickly followed as the Egyptian doubled City's lead with the aid of a slight deflection.

Fourteen minutes after his first, Marmoush then claimed the match ball with an emphatic finish for his hat-trick after being set up by Savinho.

In the final stages, James McAtee came off the bench to add a fourth at the back post and compound the Magpies' misery.

City move within three points of third placed Nottingham Forest with the win. Newcastle stay seventh.

Villa frustrated by 10-man Ipswich

Scorers: Watkins 69'; Delap 56'

Despite playing the majority of the game with 10 men, Ipswich battled to an impressive point with a 1-1 draw at Villa Park.

The most notable moment from a low-key first half was when Axel Tuanzebe was sent off on his return to Villa Park shortly before half-time, picking up a second yellow card for hauling down Jacob Ramsey.

Not to be deterred by the disadvantage, it was the 10 men who took a surprise lead upon the resumption when Liam Delap supplied a deft touch to a low cross from the right to send it spinning into the far corner.

The lead didn't last long though before Ollie Watkins restored parity, following up on the rebound after a Marcus Rashford free-kick came back off the crossbar to rescue a point, although the Villans remain ninth, while the Tractor Boys cut the gap to survival to two points.

Forest flop at Fulham

Scorers: Smith Rowe 15', Bassey 62'; Wood 37'

Nottingham Forest failed to keep pace with the league's top two as they suffered a surprise 2-1 loss away to Fulham.

A rare headed finish from Emile Smith Rowe gave Fulham a 15th minute lead when he nodded in at the back post from Adama Traoré's deep cross which was begging to find the net.

But Forest's Mr Reliable this season soon got them back on level terms when Chris Wood curled into the bottom corner to make it 1-1.

Shortly after an hour of play, Fulham regained the lead through another back post header when the ball was flicked into that area for Calvin Bassey to rise and score the winner.

Forest now trail second placed Arsenal by six points (with City just three points behind in fourth) as Fulham move up to eighth.

West Ham woes continue

Scorers: Schade 4'

West Ham's stuttering start under Graham Potter continued as they were beaten 1-0 at home by Brentford.

It took Brentford just four minutes to open the scoring at the London Stadium when Kevin Schade benefitted from some abysmal West Ham defending in their own penalty area to squeeze an effort over the line.

The post then denied the German his second of the afternoon either side of two separate offsides preventing Yoane Wissa from adding to the Bees' advantage.

The result keeps West Ham in lowly 16th place, while Brentford close the gap on the top half of the table.

Bournemouth up to fifth

Scorers: Sulemana 72'; Ouattara 13', Christie 16', Tavernier 83'

Ryan Christie superbly scored one and set up another as Bournemouth moved into the top five with a 3-1 win at Southampton.

Bournemouth took an early lead on their short trip across the south coast when Dango Ouattara glanced a header home following a wicked Christie cross.

The provider then turned goalscorer when he was given too much space from 25 yards to pick his spot and fire a low effort into the corner.

Southampton were offered hope in the closing stages when Kamaldeen Sulemana made a yard of space in the area which was all he needed to steer a drive into the bottom corner of the net.

No sooner had they given themselves hope than it was extinguished by Marcus Tavernier with a low piledriver to haul the Cherries up to fifth, while Southampton stay rooted to the bottom of the table.

Merino answers emergency call for Arsenal

Scorers: Merino 81', 87'

A late double off the bench from Arsenal's makeshift centre forward Mikel Merino eased some concerns over their attacking woes and fired them to a 2-0 win at Leicester City.

A scoreless first half at the King Power Stadium produced little to no goalmouth action to speak of, with Arsenal notably struggling in the absence of four of their main attackers through injury.

They came close to the breakthrough on the hour mark when Ethan Nwaneri cut inside and whipped a vicious strike off the top of the crossbar.

Another of their young stars was then called upon at the other end as a crucial last gasp Myles Lewis-Skelly intervention prevented a certain Leicester goal before Nwaneri rattled the woodwork for the second time in the game.

But with nine minutes remaining, the Gunners finally breached the Leicester defence when Nwaneri picked out makeshift centre-forward Mikel Merino, who had been introduced off the bench to answer the striker call, to head home.

And setting into his new role with ease, the Spaniard swiftly added a second with a cool back post finish to put the result beyond doubt and move his side to within four points of leaders Liverpool ahead of their game on Sunday.
