In a dramatic 1-0 victory against Nottingham Forest, injury-hit Liverpool, without key players like Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, secured three crucial points to move four points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Darwin Nunez, returning as a second-half substitute, headed in the winner in the 99th minute from Alexis Mac Allister's cross. Despite their depleted squad, Liverpool now lead Manchester City and Arsenal in the title race.
Tottenham Hotspur, under Ange Postecoglou's management, continued their trend of late comebacks, overturning a 1-0 deficit to defeat Crystal Palace 3-1. Eberechi Eze's stunning free-kick gave Palace the lead, but Timo Werner's first goal for Spurs set up a late turnaround. Cristian Romero and Son Heung-min secured the three points for Tottenham, placing them within two points of fourth-placed Aston Villa.
Brentford came from behind to draw 2-2 against Chelsea, putting more pressure on Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino. Nicolas Jackson's early header gave Chelsea the lead, but Brentford's Mads Roerslev and Yoane Wissa responded with goals. A header from Axel Disasi salvaged a point for Chelsea, but they remain in the bottom half of the table.
Newcastle climbed to eighth in the table with a 3-0 home win against Wolves, keeping their hopes for European qualification alive. Goals from Alexander Isak, Anthony Gordon, and Tino Livramento secured the Magpies' first home win in nearly three months. Meanwhile, Brighton suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Fulham, further distancing themselves from the European qualification battle.
In another significant result, West Ham came from behind to defeat Everton 3-1, lifting them to seventh in the table. Despite Beto putting Everton ahead, goals from Kurt Zouma, Tomas Soucek, and Edson Alvarez secured the win for West Ham, who are now within two points of the top six in the Premier League.
