Another red card for James Tomkins – making his first Premier League start since Boxing Day last year in absence of the suspended Marc Guehi – and further goals from Fulham’s captain Tim Ream and Mitrovic, with his tenth of the campaign, swept Marco Silva’s side to a deserved victory that leaves them level on points with Liverpool.

Eventually he hits an off-balance shot that is blocked by the legs of Olsen, with the ball then ricocheting off Douglas Luiz and just wide. His cross was palmed away by Olsen to Bajcetic, who calmly dinked the ball over Olsen and rattled it through the legs of Mings on the line. oh never mind, the live pictures are back now, just in time to see Alisson make a comfortable save from Digne. “It was the season after that he really took flight and flourished.

The paucity of options at Lampard’s disposal showed. He was a staunch Palace supporter and former associate director of the club. Yet more chaos from the Uruguayan. It is a significant moment — Wenger had felt aggrieved at the manner of his exit, and wounds have taken time to heal. “Hopefully walking through the building he’s going to feel everything that everybody thinks of him, the legacy he left here… The 3-1 defeat only served as a reminder that any hope of festivities at Southampton were always going to seem far-fetched.

With Arsene Wenger watching on, Arsenal returned to action after the World Cup break to beat West Ham and stay top of the Premier League table.

[England](/soccer/team?id=448) winger's composure to steer a low shot past [Lukasz Fabianski](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/77403/Lukasz-Fabianski) was exemplary. And then Nketiah had his moment, turning [Thilo Kehrer](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/214401/Thilo-Kehrer) with embarrassing ease before steering a low shot into the net. We had a lot of possession in the first half but then we were more effective." [Premier League table](https://www.espn.com/soccer/table/_/league/eng.1) They never looked like getting back into it after going behind, and despite the good job Moyes has done in his second stint at the club, criticism will only grow after a result which leaves them just a point outside the relegation zone. In fairness, the majority of those matches have come while in charge of teams that start such fixtures as second favourites, but this was a typically conservative approach from Moyes which never really got out of second gear, even when West Ham took the lead. Time will tell if Arsenal can last the pace to land their first league title since 2004 (under Wenger) but a seven-point lead at this stage is very encouraging. The 25-year-old striker is out for up to three months following knee surgery, leaving Nketiah to lead the line in his absence alongside Saka and Martinelli. Yet they stuck to the task admirably with the zest and energy in their attacking play rewarded with a stirring second-half comeback which ensures the feel-good factor around Emirates Stadium continues. [Highlights and notable moments](#highlights) [Best/worst performers](#bestworst) Arsenal made a slow start Monday in falling behind even though that Benrahma goal came against the run of play.

The seven games Monday were the first in the Premier League in more than a month because of the long break for the World Cup in Qatar.

Liverpool beat Aston Villa 3-1 for its third straight league win and stayed sixth, a point behind Manchester United. He headed in a cross from Clement Lenglet in the 65th. Kane shrugged off chants of “You let your country down” from a section of the Brentford fans.

However, another show of resilience from Arsenal showed the fight that lies ahead of the defending champions if they are to retain the title once more in the second half of the season. The Gunners got the break they needed to turn the tide eight minutes after the break when Odegaard's mishit shot fell perfectly into the path of Saka to sidefoot home. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli turned the game around in the space of five second half minutes before Eddie Nketiah stepped up in the absence of Gabriel Jesus to seal all three points.

Antonio Conte hailed Harry Kane's character after the England captain recovered from his World Cup heartache to help Tottenham rescue a 2-2 draw at ...

I want the fans to believe we can do anything.” He just plays football and he can do that exceptionally well,” said Klopp of the Spanish midfielder, who is the son of former Serbian international Srdan Bajcetic. We know the importance of Harry for us, his personality, his character. Now we have to continue to push ourselves. “He’s cheeky as hell and is not worried about anything. He’s the best player we have. “Since last season we have made a good step. Liverpool’s relative lack of strength in depth compared to their competitors for a place in the top four was exposed by Klopp needing to turn to two teenagers off the bench as 17-year-old Ben Doak also made his first Premier League appearance. Ait-Nouri poked home from close range after Everton failed to deal with a counter-attack in the fifth minute of stoppage-time. We have shown big character,” Conte said. In the first Premier League fixture since the World Cup break in mid-November, Tottenham were in danger of a damaging defeat after Vitaly Janelt and Ivan Toney put Brentford in command at the Community Stadium. But Kane netted with a 65th minute header to start the Tottenham recovery in his first game since missing a crucial penalty in England’s World Cup quarter-final defeat against France.

Liverpool came back with a hard-fought win at Aston Villa, with teenager Stefan Bajcetic scoring his first goal for the club, while Newcastle United blew away ...

Newcastle have won six in a row in the Premier League for the first time since 2012 under Alan Pardew. Mohamed Salah both scored and assisted in the win, taking his totals to 125 goals and 50 assists for the club in the Premier League. Bajcetic is also the second-youngest Spaniard to score in the competition, behind only Cesc Fabregas in 2004 (17y 113d). In fact, it was the earliest a Premier League team had been 2-0 up on Boxing Day since 2010 (Manchester City v Newcastle, after five mins). They have also conceded two or more goals in six consecutive league games for the first time since May 2003. Arsenal went in 1-0 down at Emirates Stadium at half-time after Said Benrahma's penalty, but came from behind thanks to goals from Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Eddie Nketiah.

After a difficult start of the season that led American owner Todd Boehly to replace former coach Thomas Tuchel with Graham Potter, Chelsea need to attack ...

- New coach Graham Potter needs to see a reaction from his team after a disappointing end of the first part of the season before the World Cup break when Chelsea struggled, in part because of injuries injuries, and only picked up two points in the last five Premier League matches. - The Blues were interested in signing a striker in January even before the injury of striker Armando Broja who's set to miss the rest of the season after sustaining an ACL injury. Considering the issues of the team to score goals it's now even more likely that there will be an investment there next month when the transfer window will officially open. The Blues are currently ninth in the Premier League table with 21 points after 14 matches and failed to win in the last five matches before the break. - Chelsea are currently ninth in the table with 21 points scored after 14 matches. It will be crucial for the home side to start off well and win against Bournemouth, a team that's only scored 16 points after 14 matches, but as of now are safe from relegation.

The Premier League is back, and two teams that were headed in opposite directions before the World Cup break meet in a 12:30 p.m. match.

Still, it is on the road, where it has failed to keep a clean sheet in any of its 17 top-flight away games since a 1-0 win at Chelsea in December 2019, In addition, two of Chelsea’s best performers at the World Cup – Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech – are players whose futures at Stamford Bridge are far from certain.

With the all-important gap to the top four widening to eight points because of that setback at St James' Park, new manager Graham Potter is under early pressure to inspire a rapid upturn in form. When the Cherries ended their five-game winless run by thrashing Everton 3-0 at home, it took the total number of goals in their three most recent league games to a crowd-pleasing 15. “I am aware of it but I don’t believe it will help us much," says the newly-appointed permanent manager of the Cherries. 10 mins from kickoff: Here's Mount looking sharp in the warm-up.

It was a challenging period for all the players. “I have to say he is in a good mood, he is in a good place. “He is missing the World Cup. “It was a challenging period for him. But Potter is fully aware of Chelsea’s need to reverse a woeful run of form, adding: “I’d like to have gone up and down California with a couple of wins, but it wasn’t to be. “It feels like there’s a really good spirit, a really good connection around the building. "He was in a really good place before he got injured. "There have, of course, been discussions around the window's approach but nothing concrete to arrive yet. The Blues are nine points adrift of the top four as things stand and need to make up that deficit in the race for Champions League qualification. “So I’m really looking forward to the weeks, months and years ahead.

Pulisic collects a loose ball on the edge of the D and surges into the area. It wasn’t much of a shirt pull, and Pulisic certainly made the most of it, but it was still a shirt pull. He mishits a shot into the crowd and Zakaria was crowded out but Havertz collected the loose ball and played it back to Mount on the edge of the D. Play continues, Chelsea break and Pulisic scores at the other end – but the goal is disallowed for a softish foul by Havertz on Smith (I think) in the build up. “If the ref blows for the foul on Pulisic after he got the shot away (that goes wide), it would be a penalty but maybe not a red card. Zemura comes across, but James wins a 45/55 ball and smashes a shot that is blocked at the near post by Travers. I suppose the key is whether Graham Potter is brave enough to do what he wants rather than what he thinks is expected of a Chelsea manager. A collection of overpaid, not consistently motivated players who will constantly rotate in and out of the team as they don’t fit the structure of what the manager would like?

Chelsea play host to Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge in London, England. Bournemouth looked solid in the opening 15 minutes but Sterling's movement and vision were too good. With the all-important gap to the top four widening to eight points because of that setback at St James' Park, new manager Graham Potter is under early pressure to inspire a rapid upturn in form. Marc Cucurella scampers off to retrieve it and begin a passage of Chelsea passing. Bournemouth are yet to have the ball inside Chelsea territory during this second half. Philip Billing goes down under a challenge inside the box and a VAR check comes to nothing. Just the half Chelsea would have wanted as they seek to avoid four successive league defeats. Their team could have put the game all-but out of sight if they had capitalised on a string of incisive attacks before the break and not found visiting goalkeeper Mark Travers on fine form.

Follow live as Manchester United and Nottingham Forest return to Premier League action at Old Trafford. The Red Devils are chasing a Champions League spot, ...

The goalkeeper is in fine form, having made a string of super saves to secure a win over Liverpool before the World Cup break. 20 mins to KO: While Varane has perhaps been rushed back into the XI slightly ahead of schedule, after playing in a World Cup final just eight days ago, Lisandro Martinez is still absent from the United squad. 5 mins to KO: Anthony Martial, fresh after five weeks off, has a huge chance to make the starting spot as United's No.9 his own and drive this club back to the Champions League in the post-Cristiano Ronaldo era. The Denmark international plays it along the ground to around the penalty spot, where the the Red Devils' No.10 peels away from his man and cuts the ball back across goal. After Awoniyi breaks down the right at the opposite end of the field and feels he was unfairly tugged back, United immediately break up the other end and take a commanding early lead. 29th min: Rashford looks in the mood, and was just on a surging counter forward before being dragged back by Orel Mangala on halfway, with the Forest midfielder picking up a yellow card. From a free-kick, Yates wheels away in celebration after his header, though the final touch looks to have come off Willy Boly. They seemed to be having a competition as to who could produce the perfect party piece, with audacious efforts from Fernandes and Casemiro the pick of the bunch. 33rd min: After a Ryan Yates potshot from distance troubles David De Gea, United respond via Rashford once more, who finds himself on the right wing again and blasts past Renan Lodi - who enjoyed a memorable night here with Atletico Madrid in March - with ease. It's difficult to believe this is the same player who was in such horrendous form last season, to the point where a transfer away was reportedly the most likely outcome. Substitute Fred was the beneficiary of a lovely ball across the box from Casemiro, who found his compatriot's run at the back post. Willy Boly had the final touch before the ball hit the net, and the centre-back was correctly adjudged to be in an offside position.
