Epl Scores: Liverpool extend lead as Everton win at Newcastle and Burnley stage stunning fightback
Epl Scores moved sharply during a jam-packed slate of matches as Liverpool ran out significantly ahead at Anfield, Everton claimed a dramatic lead at St James' Park, and Burnley produced a remarkable comeback against Brentford before late drama decided the fixture. These results reshaped the afternoon's narrative and left several matches in an evolving state.
Epl Scores — Liverpool blow open the contest at Anfield
Liverpool delivered a high-scoring display at Anfield, taking a commanding advantage that saw the home side reach a 5-2 scoreline. The match featured moments that swung momentum: an own-goal that furthered Liverpool's edge, a curling effort that restored a multi-goal cushion, and the injection of a pacy right-back whose runs and direct play unsettled the visiting defence. That same full-back was shown a yellow card after bringing down a dangerous opponent, while substitutions and tactical tweaks featured in the second half as the visitors looked for a route back into the game.
Everton lead at Newcastle after late twists
At St James' Park the atmosphere swung wildly as home and away teams traded blows. An equaliser for the hosts was quickly answered and Everton regained the lead when a player sent the ball into the net following contact in the area, putting Everton ahead in a tight contest that finished 3-2 in their favour. The sequence included a levelling strike for the home side that arrived less than 10 minutes from full time, only for Everton to respond within a matter of minutes. The match also saw a huge chance go begging for Everton when a forward struck the crossbar while through on goal, underscoring how fine the margins were in the encounter.
Burnley comeback, VAR drama and late winner for the visitors
Turf Moor witnessed one of the day's most dramatic scorelines. Brentford had built a three-goal advantage early on, but Burnley mounted an extraordinary fightback from 3-0 down to claw their way back into the match. A key figure for the Clarets struck twice during the revival, at one point putting his side in sight of a full recovery. There was a period of VAR intervention while the offside lines were checked for a second strike, and the final stage of the contest swung again when a visiting attacker struck late to secure victory for the away side. The match featured heavy emotions from the home crowd, who had booed at half-time before the atmosphere turned electric as the comeback unfolded.
Across the fixtures, individual moments — an own-goal, late equaliser and quickfire response, a piled-on comeback overturned by a late decisive strike — defined the afternoon's narrative. Substitutions, a player earning a yellow card for halting a fast winger, and a goal ruled out after video review all contributed to a volatile set of results that left several scorelines in flux until the closing stages.
These Epl Scores underline how quickly momentum can shift across multiple grounds: a comfortable lead can evaporate, VAR interventions can pause celebrations, and a single late strike can turn heartbreak into jubilation. With several matches decided in dramatic fashion, expect post-match analysis to focus on the timing of substitutions, the impact of individual attacking bursts, and the role of video review in pivotal moments.
Note: some incidents were subject to video review and late decisions, so details may still be clarified as official updates are finalised.
