Burnley 3-4 Brentford — Damsgaard stabs late winner at Turf Moor
Burnley rallied from a three-goal first-half deficit but still fell 4-3 as Mikkel Damsgaard tucked home in injury time to secure Brentford victory at Turf Moor. Brentford had been three up early through first-half goals from Damsgaard, Igor Thiago and Kevin Schade. An own goal from Michael Kayode before half-time and strikes from Jaidon Anthony and Zian Flemming pulled Burnley back into the contest; Flemming later had a fourth for the hosts ruled out for the most marginal of offsides. Veteran Ashley Barnes thought he had salvaged a point when he netted from the bench late on, only for VAR to rule the goal out for handball. The Bees boss Keith Andrew was preparing to celebrate a new long-term deal before the late drama unfolded.
Liverpool 5-2 West Ham — set-piece salvo and a statement win
Liverpool ran out 5-2 winners over West Ham in a seven-goal thriller at Anfield, with three first-half goals from corners — Hugo Ekitike, Virgil van Dijk and Alexis Mac Allister — making them only the second team in the competition's history after Manchester United in 2016 to score three first-half corner goals. Cody Gakpo grabbed his first league goal in eight matches, and Axel Disasi turned in Jeremie Frimpong's cross after Tomás Soucek and Taty Castellanos had made life uncomfortable for the hosts. The win was Liverpool's third successive victory in the league and kept their Champions League hopes alive: Liverpool moved level with fourth-placed Manchester United, reduced their goal-difference deficit to one and have taken 11 points from a possible 18 in recent matches.
Everton 3-2 Newcastle — late substitute strike and a crucial save
Everton clinched a 3-2 win at St James' Park after Thierno Barry came off the bench to score seconds after Jacob Murphy looked to have levelled for the hosts. Jordan Pickford made a stunning late save to preserve the result. Jarrad Branthwaite had headed Everton into an early lead before Jacob Ramsey equalised; Newcastle then gifted Beto a second goal after a Nick Pope blunder. The result condemned Newcastle to a third successive league defeat at St James' Park and marked the second successive season in which Everton left with three points from Newcastle. Louise Taylor was at St James' Park to cover the match.
Man City beat Leeds — Semenyo strike moves City within two points of Arsenal
Manchester City beat Leeds at Elland Road thanks to a first-half goal from Semenyo, a result that moved City within two points of Premier League leaders Arsenal. Speaking to MOTD, Pep Guardiola said: "We made a lot of passes that we needed to do to survive without much intention to attack. The reaction was amazing, unbelievable with the goal we scored. Complete game, in a tough, tough place and 10 games left in the Premier league. Time to be decisive. " He added that the club is "building these players and they have a long, long time here. It is important for the future for the club. " On new signings he said: "Cherki, for me, is the best game. Solidity and aggressive with the ball. All of them were really good - commitment and they stick with the gameplan. " On Erling Haaland he added: "We don't have spies in the training centre to deliver the info to our media. I think it is not a big issue. We will see. "
Leeds United defender Ilia Gruev, speaking to Sky Sports, called the result "really frustrating, " saying the first "20-25 minutes we're so on to them" and that Leeds had "two three great chances. You have to score at least one. " On the ending he said: "Emotions, they want to win, but we also want to win. It was an exhausting game - emotions involved and this is quite normal. " Guardiola, speaking to Sky Sports, added: "We make a thousand million passes and we controlled the transition and then in the last 20 minutes we created a little bit more. Huge victory to still be there. " On Leeds' pressure he said: "All of the teams are like that but Bernardo and Rodri did really well. Once again the guys make an extraordinary effort because otherwise it is not possible. " On Semenyo he said: "You never know, it is like Marc [Guehi]. So many things have been good. "
With ten Premier League games remaining, Guardiola emphasised the season's tightness. Newcastle now face a brutal run of fixtures in March after recent home setbacks.
