PREMIER LEAGUE REVIEW

MANCHESTER United rallied from a goal behind to clinch a 3-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men went in at the break behind after Son opened the scoring in the 40th minute.

Fred equalised for United before a superb Edinson Cavani diving header gave the visitors the advantage.

Mason Greenwood hammered in a late third as United moved to within 11 points of leaders Manchester City, who lost at home to Leeds United.

Stuart Dallas’ stoppage-time goal gave 10-man Leeds a shock 2-1 win.

Dallas had put the visitors ahead three minutes before half-time with a low drive which bounced in off the post.

Leeds then saw Liam Cooper sent off for a poor challenge on Gabriel Jesus and City eventually made their second-half numerical advantage count when Ferran Torres equalised in the 76th minute.

Leeds, though, soaked up plenty of late pressure before snatching all three points when Dallas raced onto a through-ball from Ezgjan Alioski.

Jesse Lingard continued his one-man crusade to get West Ham into the Champions League with two goals in a 3-2 win over Leicester.

The in-form Lingard put his side ahead when he sent a precise volley past Kasper Schmeichel from the edge of the area.

Lingard struck again before half-time and the Hammers were 3-0 up just minutes into the second half after Tomas Soucek fed Jarrod Bowen to score.

But Leicester hit back as Kelechi Iheanacho scored twice, before Wesley Fofana headed a last-gasp chance wide in injury time.

Liverpool came from behind to beat Aston Villa 2-1 at Anfield with a stoppage-time goal from Trent Alexander-arnold.

Villa took the lead in the 43rd minute when Ollie Watkins fired past Alisson Becker.

Liverpool were level in the 57th minute when Mohamed Salah headed into the net after Andrew Robertson’s shot had been pushed out by goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.

Just when it looked like the points would be shared, substitute Thiago Alcantara saw his shot saved by Martinez, but full-back Alexander-arnold fired in the rebound from 20 yards to snatch a dramatic victory.

Chelsea enjoyed a 4-1 win at Crystal Palace.

The Blues went ahead in the eighth minute through Kai Havertz and it was swiftly 2-0 when Christian Pulisic lashed the ball in from a tight angle.

Kurt Zouma headed in Chelsea’s third from Mason Mount’s free-kick.

Christian Benteke pulled a goal back for Palace in the 63rd minute, but Chelsea restored their advantage when Pulisic slotted in his second with 12 minutes left.

Allan Saint-maximin came off the bench to inspire Newcastle to a vital 2-1 victory at Burnley that lifted them six points clear of the relegation zone.

Trailing to Matej Vydra’s firsthalf goal, Newcastle looked uninspired before Steve Bruce brought on Saint-maximin and Callum Wilson in the 57th minute.

Within two minutes of his introducti­on, the Frenchman ran into the penalty area, drawing three defenders before pulling the ball back for Jacob Murphy to fire in an equaliser.

And just five minutes later Saint-maximin raced from the halfway line before finding the bottom corner.
