Premier League LIVE SCORES: Liverpool go 12 points clear at the top after Jota strike, Grealish scores in Man City win

All about getting the job done

Liverpool will be keen to ensure they have mathematically won the title at the earliest point possible.

This begins on the weekend with a tricky trip to West London to face Fulham.

The Reds would love nothing more than to have things done and dusted before Arsenal visit Anfield, meaning The Gunners would have to give them a guard of honour before the game.

Tractor Boys upset odds on south coast

While many people have already condemned the bottom three to relegation, Kieran McKenna’s side think differently.

Goals from Nathan Broadhead and Liam Delap puts the Tractor Boys in a dominant position at the Vitality Stadium.

Evanilson pulled a goal back for The Cherries but Ipswich managed to hold for a crucial three points.

With a match against Wolves on the weekend, victory could see them only six points from safety.

Sultan of Unai continues charge

It has been a tricky season for Aston Villa, juggling European exploits with domestic duties.

However, a comprehensive win at the Amex Stadium kept their hopes of securing Champions League qualification alive.

Goals from Marcus Rashford, Marco Asensio and Donyell Malen secured an important three points for the visitors.

Pep on course for Champions League

Having had a very poor season by their own standards, aside from the FA Cup, the main aim for Guardiola’s team is to ensure they are in the Champions League next season.

They took an early lead through Jack Grealish, a rare sight, having gone 16 months since his last goal.

Omar Marmoush, standing in for the injured Erling Haaland, added a second and put the game beyond The Foxes.

Italian screamer sets St James’ Park alight

Eddie Howe’s side found Brentford difficult to break down until Alexander Isak came to their rescue in added-time at the end of the first-half.

Hoping this would open the game up for plenty more Newcastle goals, Nick Pope gave away a penalty and Bryan Mbuemo slotted home.

However, a stunning strike from Sandro Tonali into the top corner was enough to ensure all three points for The Magpies, to keep their Champions League hopes alive.

Saints miss out on winning feeling

For much of this game, it looked like The Saints were heading for a rare win in front of their own fans.

Deep into added time, with three points in touching distance, Crystal Palace broke the hearts of most in St Mary’s.

Franca’s late header grabbed The Eagles a draw from the jaws of defeat.

Curtis shows his passion for club

Being at your hometown club, seems to make it mean so much more for football players.

There were a few raised eyebrows before the game when Curtis Jones was named as right-back in the starting line-up.

The Liverpool midfielder would play anywhere his manager asked and put in some shift this evening to show why he is such an important player in this squad with his versatility.

Reds’ manager shows he is a class act

Despite some things going against his side this evening, Liverpool’s Dutch manager showed his style speaking with Sky Sports when asked about Tarkowski’s challenge on Mac Allister:

Yes, against a very difficult team to play, our boys showed great character today. We score a good goal and kept a clean sheet. I like much more what I saw from the away game. We knew if we wanted to win this game we needed to keep a clean sheet. He’s used to these things as he is from South America. Everyone else has spoken about this so I do not see the point in commenting.

Reds lead the way by some distance

Arsenal fans convinced themselves they were still in a title race for so long, after beating Fulham last night, they were sure of it.

The aim for Liverpool was simple, get three points and restore your 12-point lead at the top.

Mission accomplished for Arne Slot’s side, this could be a big step on their journey to a 20th Premier League trophy.

Toffees’ manager gives opinion on performance

Speaking with Sky Sports, David Moyes spoke about how he saw the game from his side’s point of view:

I think we were a lot closer to them tonight than before I came back in. There was an offside goal that was the difference tonight. It was a clear offside, it was very easy to give and I cannot understand why that was not given at all. We’re not kidding ourselves, Liverpool were by far the better team. At the moment, they are the best team in the league.

Ex-Premier League referee has say

As it turned out, it did not impact the result, but the foul by James Tarkowski only being yellow card was a huge moment.

Mark Halsey, the former referee in the top-flight, had his say on how he saw the incident.
