PREMIER LEAGUE REVIEW
SAM Vokes headed Burnley to sixth place in the Premier League as the Clarets edged home 1-0 at Southampton.
Striker Vokes ended a five-match barren league spell with his first Premier League goal since bagging a brace in the opening-day 3-2 win at Chelsea.
Southampton pushed hard throughout the second half but Sean Dyche’s men prevailed by netting the game’s only goal.
Dyche showed again why he has been linked to the vacant Everton managerial role as he masterminded another important win for his highflying Clarets.
Burnley’s victory saw them leapfrog Liverpool, but Jurgen Klopp’s Reds ensured that would only be temporary as they thrashed West Ham 4-1 in the late kick-off at London Stadium to pile more pressure on beleagured Hammers boss Slaven Bilic.
Mohammed Salah put Liverpool in front after 21 minutes and Joel Matip doubled their advantage three minutes later.
Manuel Lanzini game the Hammers some hopes of getting back into the game with a 55th minute goal, but barely a minute later Liverpool restored their cushion through Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Salah added a second, and Liverpool’s fourth, in the 75th minute.
Rajiv van La Parra curled home a fine strike for his maiden Premier League goal as 10-man Huddersfield held on for a 1-0 home win over West Brom.
The hosts had Christopher Schindler sent off for two bookable offences, but were still able to grind out an impressive victory.
Steve Cook’s added-time goal stole Bournemouth a vital 1-0 win at Newcastle, to move Eddie Howe’s side out of the relegation zone.
Cook’s late header ensured Howe’s men claimed just their second league win since September.
The St James’ Park clash appeared to be heading for a dispiriting goalless draw, especially when Marc Pugh missed a gilt-edged chance for Bournemouth late on.
But at the last Cook popped up to rise highest from a corner and head the Cherries to a well deserved victory.
Xherdan Shaqiri curled in a freekick then laid on a Peter Crouch header as Stoke twice came from behind to grab a 2-2 draw at home to Leicester.
Vicente Iborra and Riyad Mahrez found the net for the Foxes, as new boss Claude Puel extended his unbeaten start with the east Midlanders.
