Southampton’s hopes for only their third win of the season were dashed as Crystal Palace snatched a dramatic late equaliser, resulting in a 1-1 draw at St. Mary’s. Paul Onuachu seemed to have secured the Saints their first Premier League victory in two months with his early goal, but substitute Matheus Franca’s stoppage-time header added to Southampton’s season-long struggles. In recent days, Saints head coach Ivan Juric and goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale emphasised the importance of surpassing Derby County’s infamous 11-point tally from the 2007-08 season—the lowest recorded since the Premier League’s inception. However, following their 30th fixture of this dire…

Sandro Tonali delivered a sensational winner to reignite Newcastle United’s ambitions of securing a coveted Champions League position, as the Magpies celebrated victory in their inaugural bout since conquering the Carabao Cup. Alexander Isak notched his 20th Premier League goal this season, initially putting Eddie Howe’s men on the path to triumph. Yet, a penalty courtesy of Bryan Mbeumo, after Nick Pope felled Yoane Wissa, briefly overturned the atmosphere within St James’ Park.

Under the stewardship of Arne Slot, the Reds require just 13 points from the remaining 24 to secure a record-equalling 20th top-flight championship. The match at Anfield saw Everton’s resilient defence initially frustrate the home side, but Liverpool ultimately claimed victory thanks to a moment of brilliance from Diogo Jota. The Portuguese winger, largely a peripheral figure until then, latched onto Luis Diaz’s deft backheel, danced through several challenges, and coolly slotted the ball home. Controversy abounded…
