Everton 1-0 Brentford. In-form Everton guaranteed their Premier League survival with three games to spare by edging to victory over lacklustre Brentford.

Idrissa Gueye was the surprise match winner, smashing home a first-time finish into the top corner on the hour mark after reacting quickest to Brentford’s defenders failing to clear the ball. A first half severely lacking in quality was sum ..read more

Wolves 2-1 Luton Town. Wolves ended a six-game winless run in the Premier League and piled pressure on relegation-threatened Luton with victory at Molineux. Hwang Hee-chan scored his first club goal since 27 December to put Wolves in front late in the first half after both sides had struggled to find a way out of midfield.

Wolves showed intent after the break and it took ..read more

Newcastle United 5-1 Sheffield United. Sheffield United’s relegation from the Premier League was confirmed as Newcastle recovered from a sluggish start to thrash Chris Wilder’s side at St James’ Park.

Fulham 1-1 Crystal Palace. Jeffrey Schlupp hit a 25-yard stunner as Crystal Palace salvaged a Premier League point at Fulham.

But Palace, now four matches unbeaten in the league, showed fighting spirit to come back w ..read more

Manchester United 1-1 Burnley. Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana cost his side victory as Zeki Amdouni converted a late penalty to grab a priceless point for relegation-threatened Burnley in the Premier League at Old Trafford. Despite another unconvincing display from Erik ten Hag’s men, they did look set for victory thanks to Antony’s well-taken 79th-minute effort. But, just as he did on the opening day against Wolves, Onana recklessly charged from his line in an attempt to punch the ball clear but hit an opposition player instead. Although referee John Brooks missed the incident in re ..read more

West Ham United 2-2 Liverpool. Liverpool’s Premier League title hopes seem all but over after Michail Antonio scored to rescue a point for West Ham at London Stadium. Jarrod Bowen opened the scoring just before the break when he rose highest to meet Mohammed Kudus’ cross into the area as Liverpool showed little evidence that their Merseyside derby loss in midweek had done much in the way of spurring them on. But the visitors were much improved in the second half and Andy Robertson equalised when he scored from Luis Diaz’s low pass into the penalty area. They were then rewarded for their pressu ..read more
