Premier League Round-Up: 09/03/19

A huge day of Premier League action is now over! Have a read of our brief reports on each and every game including some huge victories down the bottom of the table.

 

Game of the Day - Newcastle 3-2 Everton

Newcastle United can virtually count themselves safe from relegation after coming from two goals down to beat Everton at St. James' Park.

Ayoze Perez scored a quick-fire brace, with goals in the 81st and 84th minute to spark the comeback win for the Magpies.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison gave the visitors an early two-goal lead before Newcastle top scorer Salomon Rondon pulled one back.

At 1-0 to Everton, Matt Ritchie saw his penalty saved by Jordan Pickford - with the home fans furious that the Toffees goalkeeper wasn't sent off.

Crystal Palace 1-2 Brighton

Anthony Knockaert scored a 'Goal of the Season' contender to win the game for Brighton at Crystal Palace in Saturday's early kick-off.

Knockaert's wonder-strike won it for the Seagulls with just 16 minutes of normal time remaining in the match.

Glenn Murray gave Chris Hughton's team an early lead, but Luka Milivojevic's penalty not long into the second-half saw the teams go level.

The victory means Brighton have done the league double over their rivals for the first time since the 1983-84 season, back in the second tier.

 

Cardiff 2-0 West Ham

Cardiff City ended their rot with a crucial victory over West Ham United at the Cardiff City Stadium.

Junior Hoilett opened the scoring for the Bluebirds in the first-half, before Victor Camarasa scored in the second-half to hand the hosts a vital three points.

The win means that Neil Warnock's men have kept the pressure on Southampton, who also won impressively on Saturday.

The Bluebirds are 18th in the league still, but a first win in four games in the Premier League will surely give them some much-needed confidence.

 

Huddersfield 0-2 Bournemouth

Bournemouth piled even more misery onto Huddersfield, as their dismal season shows no signs of stopping.

Goals from Callum Wilson and Ryan Fraser either side of half-time ensured the Cherries returned to winning ways at the John Smith's Stadium.

Eddie Howe's side picked up three points for the first time since a thumping 4-0 win over Chelsea at the end of January.

Huddersfield remain bottom of the table and relegation for Jan Siewert's side looks as good as sealed now.

Southampton 2-1 Tottenham

A late comeback from Southampton ensured a massive three points as they added to Tottenham's terrible recent league record.

James Ward-Prowse continued his fine form with the winning goal; likewise Yan Valery who equalised for the Saints.

Harry Kane had initially given Spurs the lead in the first-half, but another disappointing performance from Mauricio Pochettino's team - with the Argentine being haunted by his former side.

Southampton ensured they stayed out of the relegation zone with the victory - which proved to be extra important with Cardiff winning in Wales.

 

Leicester 3-1 Fulham

Brendan Rodgers claimed his first win as Leicester City boss, as Jamie Vardy scored twice to ensure the three points over Fulham.

Youri Tielemans scored his first goal for the club early on at the King Power Stadium. However, Floyd Ayite equalised after the break for the visitors.

But Vardy was on hand for the Foxes to give Rodgers his first win - but for Fulham boss Scott Parker, he is still without a point as manager.

Like the before mentioned Huddersfield, the likeliness of Fulham staying in the Premier League beyond this season does look very slim.

 

Manchester City 3-1 Watford

Raheem Sterling scored a hat-trick as Manchester City extend their advantage over Liverpool to four points at the top of the league table.

Sterling scored three second-half goals to ensure an easy win for City, despite their first goal having more than a hint of offside.

Gerard Deulofeu scored with his first touch of the match, after being introduced from the bench, but the game was over for the Hornets.

Liverpool have the chance to respond on Sunday afternoon, as they welcome Burnley to Anfield at 12:00 GMT.
