PREM ROUND-UP

-

EVERTON twice fought back to draw 2-2 with Liverpool in a controvers­ial 237th Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.

Sadio Mane put the visitors in front after three minutes when he converted a low cross from left-back Andy Robertson.

Everton equalised in the 20th minute through a header from Michael Keane at a corner.

Mohamed Salah put the Reds 2-1 up with 18 minutes to go, but Dominic Calvert-Lewin continued his fine scoring run with a towering header to equalise again on 81 minutes.

Southampto­n fought back to draw 3-3 against Chelsea with a stoppageti­me equaliser from Jannik Vestergaar­d.

Timo Werner gave the home side the lead on 15 minutes, and the German forward doubled Chelsea’s advantage when he clipped the ball over Saints keeper Alex McCarthy before heading into the empty net.

Danny Ings hauled Southampto­n back into the game just before the break.

Saints were level in the 57th minute through Che Adams, only for Chelsea to regain the lead just before the hour via Kai Havertz. But the Saints grabbed a point when Vestergaar­d nodded in.

Raheem Sterling’s first-half goal was enough for Pep Guardiola to get one over his old assistant as Manchester City edged out Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal 1-0.

Manchester United came from behind to win 4-1 at Newcastle.

Substitute Billy Sharp scored a late penalty to earn Sheffield United their first point of the season in a 1-1 draw with Fulham.

Sharp fired in from the spot after Ademola Lookman’s excellent solo effort had put the visitors ahead at Bramall Lane.

Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitrovic had earlier blazed a penalty against the crossbar. Meanwhile West Ham staged a remarkable comeback to deny Gareth Bale three points on his return to action in a Spurs shirt.

Tottenham were cruising after 80 minutes after three first half goals but strikes from Fabian Belbuena, Davinson Sanchez and Manuel Lanzini stunned the hosts.
