The Cherries look like scoring every time they come forward.Copy linkCopiedView from SunSport’s Graeme Bryce at Villa ParkPoor fare at the break at Villa Park, with neither side looking close to hitting top gear yet.However Kieran McKenna’s Tractor Boys face an uphill struggle in the second half after former Villa loanee Axel Tuanzebe was suckered into two daft yellow cards – to see red!The defender should have been on red alert after he picked up a booking for tugging down Morgan Rogers.But he grabbed at Jacob Ramsey’s shoulder after the Villa man had gone clear of him and the kid tumbled.It was shrewd by the Villa man but Tuanzebe gave ref Robert Jones a decision to make and he decided another yellow card was merited, followed by the inevitable red.Ten-man Ipswich now have their backs to the wall.Copy linkCopiedView from SunSport’s Jack Rosser in the capitalWest Ham are incredibly fortunate to only be a goal down at the break.Brentford have been battering them, winning the ball and breaking at a speed the Hammers cannot cope with.Mbeumo, Wissa and Schade have all been incredibly sharp, profiting from the host’s incompetence.West Ham’s midfield have been largely absent when it comes to helping out the back four and you wouldn’t bet against one of them being replaced.Copy linkCopiedView from SunSport’s Martin Blackburn at The EtihadWHAT a half from City and in particular their new forward Omar Marmoush In just his fourth start since arriving from Eintracht Frankfurt, he struck a 14 minute hat-trick to endear himself to the Etihad faithful. Any fears City could be hurting from their midweek heartbreak against Real Madrid were blown away. Newcastle were weary – are their players thinking too much about Wembley next month? Copy linkCopiedHT: Fulham 1-1 Nott’m ForestIt has been a dominant display from the hosts in this one.However, despite having only one shot on target, the visitors really made it count.Marco Silva will feel his side should be leading this one, they need to be more clinical in front of goal to do just that.Copy linkCopiedHT: Aston Villa 0-0 Ipswich TownThere is nothing to separate these sides as they head into the interval.One thing that does is the number of players on the pitch.Tuanzebe was shown a second yellow card for pulling a player back and given his marching orders.Copy linkCopiedHT: Man City 3-0 NewcastleIt has been a comprehensive first-half from Pep Guardiola’s side.They have opened up The Magpies all too often in this one.Marmoush grabbing a hat-trick in the process, this is more like the Man City of old this afternoon.Copy linkCopiedWest Ham 0-1 Brentford 43. A real let off for Graham Potter’s side.VAR adjudges there to have been an offside Brentford player in the build-up to the goal.How important could that prove in the outcome of this match, only time will tell.Copy linkCopiedVAR review – goal disallowed Copy linkCopiedWest Ham 0-2 Brentford41.

Cometh the moment, cometh the man.As a ball is played into Wood outside the box, he shifts it onto his left foot and gets a shot away.Leno cannot do anything about it as the visitors draw level in the capital.Copy linkCopiedGoal – Chris Wood (Nott’m Forest)Copy linkCopiedMan City 3-0 Newcastle33. This is turning into a horror show for Eddie Howe.Savinho is the player pulling the strings, using his pace to beat his man before squaring the ball to the Egyptian.From the penalty spot, he side-foots it into the bottom corner.That is his first-ever hat-trick in senior football.Copy linkCopiedView from SunSport’s Andy Dillon at Craven CottageEMILE SMITH ROWE scored the goal which gives Fulham the lead. But it’s Adama Traore stealing the limelight with three great crosses so far. One of which found Smith Rowe to plant a 14th minute header past Matz Sels.Copy linkCopiedGoal – Omar Marmoush (Man City)Copy linkCopiedView from SunSport’s Graeme Bryce at Villa ParkIt’s been a bitty start at Villa Park with little quality on show yet.Morgan Rogers raced clear on goal and went down as Town goalie Alex Palmer raced out of his box.However VAR confirmed there was no contact from the keeper although Rogers could have been awarded a foul as chasing defender Jacob Greaves shoved him off balance.Early injuries to Boubacar Kamara and Enciso have seen both players replaced by Tyrone Mings and Jack Clarke, which has disrupted the flow of the game.Copy linkCopiedView from SunSport’s Martin Blackburn at The EithadWELCOME to Manchester, Omar Marmoush. The January signing from Eintracht Frankfurt has caught the eye since he arrived at the Etihad but now we see what he’s all about. First he capitalised on a missed header by Kieran Trippier to score then five minutes later he took a pass from Ilkay Gundogan and drove a low shot into the corner. Newcastle stunned.Copy linkCopiedView from SunSport’s Jack Rosser in the capitalSo much for that optimism at West Ham…The Hammers look wide open here and are doing nothing of any value on the ball. Brentford’s flying forwards are carving through the West Ham defence with ease and the Hammers are making mistake after mistake.Potter must be contemplating a change at the break, if not before, already.Copy linkCopiedView from SunSport’s Graham Nickless at St Mary’sBournemouth stunned the Saints with two clinical finishes inside the first 16 minutes.Jan Bednarek and Nathan Wood allowed Dango Ouattara to sneak away to head home Ryan Christie’s 14th minute cross.And Christlike was soon celebrating a rare goal himself when he was given room to smash home the second from 25 yards.Copy linkCopiedMan City 2-0 Newcastle24.

MATCHWEEK 25 of the Premier League features some huge matches at both ends of the table.Manchester City cruised past Newcastle thanks to an Omar Marmoush hat-trick, but Erling Haaland was forced off injured, following on from Arsenal’s crucial win at Leicester earlier today.Elsewhere, Aston Villa were held by ten man Ipswich, West Ham lost to Brentford, Fulham beat Nottingham Forest and Southampton were beaten by Bournemouth at St Mary’s.In Saturday’s evening kick-off, David Moyes’ Everton beat Crystal Palace 2-1 thanks to goals from Beto and Carlos Alcaraz.CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSFollow our live blog below…Gunners start firing againDespite not having a fit striker for the remainder of this campaign, it did not seem to affect Arsenal this afternoon.Mikel Merino came off the bench to bag a brace and secure the win for the North London outfit.They have now closed the gap between themselves and Liverpool to four points, with the leaders playing Wolves tomorrow.Credit: GettyCopy linkCopiedCherries real winners with hot-formAfter running out 3-1 winners over Southampton today, the victory moved Bournemouth into fifth place in the table.The way things are looking in Europe at the moment, finishing there could very well carry an extra Champions League spot.What an achievement that would be Andoni Iraola and his squad.Credit: GettyCopy linkCopiedHere are today’s Premier League resultsIt has been another hectic day in the top-flight, with plenty of goals.Leicester 0-2 ArsenalAston Villa 1-1 Ipswich TownFulham 2-1 Nott’m ForestMan City 4-0 NewcastleSouthampton 1-3 BournemouthWest Ham 0-1 BrentfordCrystal Palace 1-2 EvertonCopy linkCopiedFT: Crystal Palace 1-2 EvertonEverton edge out Oliver Glasner’s side in the capital.It was quite an even game but Alcaraz’s goal ended up being the match-winner.It could have been a completely different result on another day.Copy linkCopiedView from SunSport’s Jon West at Selhurst ParkThat’s quite the debut for Alcaraz – an assist and then the winner.

Both sides are trying to flex their attacking muscle.Everton continually seem to take one too many touches and allow Palace to get in between the player and goal to block.The hosts keep trying balls over the top of the Everton defence but on this wet, greasy surface it often runs through to the keeper before anyone can get on the end of it.Copy linkCopiedCrystal Palace 1-1 Everton66.

Or should Jefferson Lerma have been alert? Either way it’s a disaster – and an Everton opener.Copy linkCopiedHT: Crystal Palace 0-1 EvertonIt has been a bizarre half of football with Palace having a goal disallowed for the ball going out despite none of the camera angles showing it to be the case.Then Sarr missed an absolute sitter from yards out, hitting the underside of the crossbar when it seemed easier to score.Everton went straight down the other end and took the lead themselves to rub salt into the wound.Copy linkCopiedHT: Crystal Palace 0-1 EvertonThe referee brings the first-half to a close.Everton have a slender lead in a very even match.That miss from Sarr seemed to be the start of things going south for The Eagles in this game.Copy linkCopiedCrystal Palace 0-1 Everton45.

We may have seen one of the misses of the season.It has all got a bit scrappy and the ball breaks to Sarr six yards out.He thunders it against the underside of the crossbar and it comes back out.He had to score from there.Copy linkCopiedCrystal Palace 0-0 Everton35. It is interesting how the two teams have set up today.Alcaraz is looking to test Henderson from distance constantly.Palace put a dangerous ball into the box, which The Toffees fail to clear, but they get lucky as the referee awards a free kick.It looked like Tarkowksi lost his footing and was not fouled at all.Copy linkCopiedCrystal Palace 0-0 Everton30.

YANKUBA MINTEH scored twice as Brighton beat Chelsea for the second time in a week.Just six days after a 2-1 win sent the Blues crashing out of the FA Cup, Brighton dominated on their way to a 3-0 win. Karou Mitoma opened the scoring with a BRILLIANT touch and finish before Minteh scored one in each half.Chelsea were atrocious – they managed ZERO shots on target despite having 70 PER CENT possession.Kick off time: 8pm GMTTV channel: Sky Sports Main EventLive stream: NOW/Sky Sports appCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSFollow our live blog below…Horror return to old clubHe was booed from start to finish, with the Brighton fans not hiding their feelings about Marc Cucurella.At first, he found it amusing but as each goal went in his night became more of a nightmare.Leaving a club for better things and to win silverware does not cut the mustard when you return and are handed a hiding by your ex-employers.Credit: APCopy linkCopiedHaving a Fab time at Amex StadiumAfter tonight’s impressive win, the manager spoke with Sky Sports who asked if he thought this was the perfect performance:I wouldn’t say it was a complete performance. Sometimes we became too passive. We changed it in the second-half and that was key today. Defending was key, in the Premier League if you have the mindset you can defend then you can score goals at the other end. I give the best for the success of the club and my players, that is what I always promise myself.Fabian HurzelerBrightonCopy linkCopiedTime to shine for BrightonThe Seagulls showed some fantastic form at the start of the season that saw them, at one stage, in the top four.Hurzeler needs to use this victory to find that consistency again.If Brighton can do that, they can really push on and try to secure some European football next campaign.Copy linkCopiedSeagulls flying high in the leagueBrighton have moved into eighth spot with victory tonight.They are now only six points behind fourth placed Chelsea.Fabian Hurzeler’s side really have a chance to push on from this moment and do something special in the Premier League this season.Another European campaign on the horizon would be some achievement for the young manager’s first season in charge.Credit: AlamyCopy linkCopiedBlues need to right wrongs quicklyWith some tough fixtures coming up, Chelsea have no time to feel sorry for themselves.Maresca’s side have to travel to both Aston Villa and Arsenal in the coming weeks, with victories desperately needed.Should they only qualify for one of Europe’s lesser trophies again, that simply isn’t good enough for a club of this size.Copy linkCopiedBoss fails to let defeat affect mindsetSpeaking with Sky Sports after the match, the Chelsea manager laid out his thoughts on tonight’s game:With fourteen games to go, we need to do much better than we did tonight. In terms of controlling the game or keep possession, we did that. We arrive quite well to the edge of the box but we struggled from there. Fortunately, we are still in a good position and we have to finish in the best way.Enzo MarescaChelseaCopy linkCopiedMaresca’s side freeze on big stageOn a freezing cold evening in Brighton, The Blues really failed to deliver in a game they needed to win.While they stay in fourth spot, for now, the chasing pack will have the chance to displace them from that coveted Champions League spot.Having lost here in the FA Cup last weekend, they knew what was required of them and failed to turn up at all.You have to feel for their fans who made the trip from West London mostly, what a waste of an evening.Copy linkCopiedMitoma tears Blues apartThe Brighton winger opened the scoring this evening with a contender for the goal of the month competition.Verbruggen’s long ball was pulled out of the air by the Japanese winger before a delightful curling shot to beat the Chelsea keeper.Whenever The Seagulls got the ball to him, he was causing Maresca’s side all sorts of problems.Turning down that offer from Saudi in the January transfer window seems some shrewd business right now.Credit: ReutersCopy linkCopiedWest Londoners humbled on south coastOver the years, Chelsea have poached managers, coaches and players from Brighton for some huge money.However, you would think it was the other way around if you watched this game tonight.At some point, the owners may start to ask questions of Maresca and whether this squad has improved at all from the one Pochettino had last season.Copy linkCopiedNow I’m a BalebaCarlos Baleba was a very close second for the man of the match award this evening.He physical presence, tackling and hunger to get forward caused Chelsea problems all evening.Despite the fact he was going up against two opposing centre midfielders who cost in excess of £200m, he really showed them up tonight.Copy linkCopiedBlues fold like a pack of cardsThis was a dismal display from the West London outfit.Rarely will you see a top-flight side fail to register a single shot on target over the course of a game but Chelsea have achieved that.Despite dominating possession, there is just nothing about this team at all.Anyone who thinks this will blossom into one of Europe’s finest teams may need to consider drugs counselling.Credit: PACopy linkCopiedFT: Brighton 3-0 ChelseaThis has been nothing short of a humbling this evening.Chelsea failed to have a single shot on target in this game.Brighton controlled this match after opening the scoring through Mitoma.Copy linkCopiedFT: Brighton 3-0 ChelseaThe referee brings the game to a close.It is an emphatic victory for Fabian Hurzeler’s side.For Chelsea, a definite night to forget.Copy linkCopiedBrighton 3-0 Chelsea90+4.

JAMES TARKOWSKI scored an equaliser that will echo through 133 years of Goodison Park history – and sparked a mass brawl at full-time.In the FINAL EVER Merseyside derby at the historic ground, Liverpool thought they had come from behind to earn all three points when Mo Salah slammed home from close range.Tarkowski became the unlikeliest of heroes when he smashed home an incredible volley to equaliser in the 97th-minute as the two sides played each other for the final time before Everton move to Bramley-Moore dock.But the drama had not stopped there – first there was an agonising VAR check and then a mass brawl between players that saw police separate them and continued down the tunnel.CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSFollow our live blog below…Liverpool fixturesThe Reds next face Wolves at home but their other three fixtures before we head into March are looking extremely tricky.This is a make or break period for Arne Slot’s side with every result important.They will have viewed the result as two points dropped especially with the tough matches just around the corner.Feb 16 – Wolves (h)Feb 19 – Aston Villa (a)Feb 23 – Man City (a)Feb 26 – Newcastle (h)Copy linkCopiedEverton fixturesThat really was a vital point for Everton as they continue their resurgence under David Moyes.The Toffees are now up to 15th – the point seeing Moyes jump ahead of former team West Ham – and are already 10 points clear of the relegation zone.Their next three fixtures are all against bottom half teams – yes, that includes 13th-placed Man Utd – and a strong run of form could see them rapidly climb the table.Feb 15 – Crystal Palace (a)Feb 22 – Man Utd (h)Feb 26 – Brentford (a)Copy linkCopiedDon’t know when they’re beatenThat could be said of both sides tonight.Both trailed at one stage, both settled for a point in the end.A real topsy-turvy game but it’s nothing Liverpool aren’t used to.They’ve recovered from losing positions to accrue 15 points in the Premier League, with only recent league rivals Man City (17) winning more.Copy linkCopiedTough runIf Arsenal come through their next few fixtures, that lead could be a touch narrower.Look at the next three for Liverpool after Wolves at the weekend!?Two away trips at top four contenders Aston Villa and Manchester City before a home game with another Champions League hopeful in Newcastle. Copy linkCopiedTitle race still on?The lead is up to seven points now with everyone playing the same number of games.Arsenal without a striker will likely find it tough to win enough games should Liverpool drop points.So is the title race done? Tim Sherwood doesn’t think so, telling Soccer Special: “It keeps it open, in my opinion. Seven points. “It’s still a big gap, of course it is. But nine would have been too much. Seven keeps it alive. “Not only are they celebrating in the blue half of Merseyside tonight, Liverpool will feel like it’s a defeat because it’s come so late in the day.”Copy linkCopiedImageThis is the image circulating social media, showing Michael Oliver looking straight at the Konate incident at the end of the game.Liverpool are incensed that a foul wasn’t given and when the offside was checked, they cleared the foul too.In truth, you’d be livid if you didn’t get the foul for your side when shoved with two hands.Copy linkCopiedNo presserNo press conference to come from the visitor’s camp tonight.Arne Slot’s red card obviously playing a part but no stand in or any word from anyone other than Van Dijk’s media round.Penny for his thoughts….Copy linkCopiedNeedleVan Dijk gave a bit back in the comments after the game too, saying: “This is their cup final and they would try to do everything in their power to make it difficult for us. “It is a big boost for them but a blow for us.”Copy linkCopiedLost in the madnessSo much to speak about after the game.But one thing that hasn’t yet been mentioned was Mo Salah’s involvement once again.A quiet game by his lofty standards yet registering yet another goal AND assist on the night – the 40th time he’s done both in the same game.Opta say his 22 goal involvements – 13 goals and nine assists – from 13 Premier League away games is already the MOST in Premier League history.That record is now one more than Andy Cole in 1993-94.Copy linkCopiedMatch reportIt was one of they nights. Miss it? Where have you been?Luckily we’ve got you covered with our match report below.By Ken LawrenceArne Slot left Goodison Park in a red haze amidst mayhem after James Tarkowski scored a stunning equaliser eight minutes into time added on.The Dutchman thought he was leaving the last ever Merseyside derby with a nine-point lead at the top of the Premier League.But memories from his first and last visit to the home of Everton will not have been made of this.His furious rant at referee Michael Oliver earned him a red card, as he joined Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones and Everton rival Abdoulaye Doucoure in being sent-off for being involved in a brawl after the final whistle.Copy linkCopied’Good position’More from Virgil van Dijk, who on the title race told TNT Sports: “We have a lot of games up until the international break. We have put ourselves in a very good position and that is down to hard work, quality and consistency. “We just have to look at ourselves, don’t look at what others do, just try to focus on ourselves and be the best version of ourselves.”We have put ourselves in a good position, let’s keep going.”Copy linkCopied’Important’Jordan Pickford says the point means so much to the club as they know how damning it’d have been to lose to their local rivals tonight.He told TNT Sports: “It was a great point. There was anxiety at the end with the VAR, but it was massive for the fans and for us. “To finish at Goodison with a point, we thought we played very well tonight and an important point for in the table as well.”It was a fantastic strike. We didn’t give up, we kept pushing and pushing. There were some great performances out there.”That edge in a derby is always crucial. We deserved a point.”We knew it would hang over the fans heads and our heads if Liverpool won 2-1 tonight. We have to take the positives from it and we know we have to go to Anfield in a few weeks.”Copy linkCopiedDaft statAmidst all the drama, in case you missed this incredible stat, tonight was the first time in Premier League history that Liverpool’s starting XI didn’t feature an Englishman.So that is the first in 1252 games that no English player has started for the club. It’s quite incredible.Copy linkCopiedEmotions highDavid Moyes is disappointed to lose Doucoure for the next game after his red card.He told Match Of The Day: “I didn’t see it from where I was. I have had a chance to see it.”I’m disappointed because Doucoure played really well tonight and I’m going to now lose him because he’s got a second yellow card which turned into a red.”The emotions were running high here all night, the stadium was at fever pitch. You could see what it meant to supporters at the end of the game, the crowd was rocking. It was one of the big nights.”Copy linkCopiedWatch the rammyFancy watching the big full-time fight?You’re welcome!Copy linkCopiedAssistant off!I thought I’d managed to get all the red cards but I seem to have missed one.Liverpool’s assistant Sipke Hulshoff was also shown a red card after the whistle. Mo Salah might well be manager next week at this rate…The Premier League Match Centre tweeted: “The referee issued second yellow cards and red cards to Curtis Jones and Abdoulaye Doucouré following an altercation after the final whistle. “Arne Slot and his assistant Sipke Hulshoff were also shown straight red cards after the final whistle.”Copy linkCopied’Mental’David Moyes reckons the ending was fitting to round off derby games at this ground.He told TNT Sports: “Mental probably sums it up. A brilliant finish for us, to finish the last Goodison Merseyside derby and score in the last minute is in a way fitting.”We would have liked to have won the game but at 2-1 down I was just thinking that we probably weren’t going to get back in, it just looked like Liverpool would keep us out.”We worked hard, kept at it, probably had more attempts in the second half than the first. Tarky had the quality which was the one that really mattered.”Copy linkCopiedRecord ends evenThat goal is huge for Everton in so many ways.But it was the 120th and final derby at Goodison Park between the clubs in all competitions. That late goal ensures that the record remains all-square – they can’t have had Liverpool beating them more than they beat Liverpool at their own ground.Now, after 120 games both sides have won exactly 41 each with 38 draws. The Friendly Derby indeed.Copy linkCopiedRight to be angry?Phil Jagielka told TNT Sports: “You can see why Arne Slot was furious. There was a slight little nudge in the box and if that was my team I would be appealing. I would be getting sent off after the game too.”Slot always talks about staying composed but it seems like he lost a bit of his composure at the end there. That’s what a derby does to you.”Copy linkCopied’No control’Virgil van Dijk said Michael Oliver wasn’t in control of the game throughout and admitted he told the referee that at the end.On the rammy at full time, he told Match Of The Day: “It was a very big provocation from one certain player. We all saw it and reacted as a team as we were able to do. “You know what happens nowadays, it becomes one big tussle. “Then it is not me who has to deal with it, it is the referee and today I am not sure he had it fully under control.”Copy linkCopiedAnd down the bottomEverton move level on points with Tottenham with that point.They’re now up to 15th and a full 10 points clear of the bottom three.Some turnaround in their fortunes.Copy linkCopiedWhat it meansSo Liverpool’s lead is now seven points at the top.They do have a tricky run of fixtures between now and the end of February.But do the chasing pack have enough to capitalise on any slip ups? I’m not so sure…Copy linkCopiedPeacemakerAbdoulaye Doucoure appeared to tell Virgil van Dijk he’d see him in the tunnel at the end.Van Dijk appeared to then see the funny side as he chatted with Michael Oliver.The Liverpool players clearly not happy with the goal and that will likely rumble on.It’s not likely to stop them going on to win the title but it denied them a huge win.Hearing from Arne Slot soon will be interesting.Copy linkCopiedMatch winnerJames Tarkowski had a shocker at the weekend as Everton were dumped out the cup.But he’s the Everton hero for now – and likely forever – with that goal and told TNT Sports: “Early on I got a chance and I panicked a bit. Late on I just decided to get in the box, it dropped, I just let it go and see what happens. Amazing to score and what an amazing night.”I just saw the ball going wide and thought ‘last minute, why not’. It managed to fall to me and let it rip.”We knew it was a tough game but we worked hard, restricted them to a minimum amount of shots. Disappointed with the way the goals go in but we’ve started to score a few goals now, thankfully we got two tonight.”Copy linkCopiedControversialThere’s real anger from Liverpool that a foul on Konate wasn’t given in the build-up to that winner.Rio Ferdinand think it shouldn’t have stood, telling TNT Sports: “If I am Ibrahima Konate I am wanting a foul for that challenge.”Copy linkCopied More
