Foden fires Man City up to third

-

Phil Foden's strike proved enough to secure a 1-0 victory for Manchester City against Brighton & Hove Albion, at the Etihad Stadium, on Wednesday.

Man City are third with 32 points, level with Leicester City and Everton. Brighton are 17th with 14 points.

Spurs buckle again

It has become a familiar pattern for Tottenham under Jose Mourinho this season: take the lead, retreat, invite opponents on, and eventually concede.

The same thing happened again on Wednesday, and it cost the team a place in the Premier League's top four.

Ivan Cavaleiro scored a header of his own in the 74th minute to earn Fulham a 1-1 draw at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, giving Mourinho that sinking feeling he is starting to know well.

Everton back

Wolverhamp­ton: Michael Keane headed the winner to take Everton back into the top four, with a 2-1 win at Wolverhamp­ton Wanderers.

Keane rose highest in the 77th minute to power home a left-wing cross by Andre Gomes from six yards out to give the Toffees their third consecutiv­e Premier League away victory.

Alex Iwobi had given Everton a sixth-minute lead when he fired home Lucas Digne's centre from close range.

Ruben Neves levelled for Wolves eight minutes later, when he volleyed in Rayan Ait-Nouri's left-wing cross.
