PREMIER LEAGUE REVIEW

ALEX Iwobi’s stoppage-time goal gave Fulham a 2-1 win at Manchester United after Harry Maguire’s late equaliser looked to have rescued a draw.

The Cottagers had the better of the first half, with Rodrigo Muniz forcing a good save from United goalkeeper Andre Onana and then hitting the post.

Fulham eventually made the breakthrou­gh after 65 minutes when defender Calvin Bassey swept the ball in from a corner.

United - with 19-year-old Omari Forson handed a first Premier League start in place of injured striker Rasmus Hojlund hauled themselves level in the 89th minute when Bruno Fernandes’ cross was pushed out by Bernd Leno and Maguire lashed the loose ball home.

Fulham, though, made the most of nine minutes of stoppageti­me when Iwobi finished off a swift counter-attack to leave the home support at Old Trafford stunned.

Aston Villa consolidat­ed fourth place as they beat Nottingham Forest 4-2.

Ollie Watkins gave Villa an early lead with a tap-in and Douglas Luiz made it 2-0 on the half-hour mark.

Forest fell further behind six minutes before the break when Luiz headed in his second.

Moussa Niakhate then pulled a goal back for Forest in first-half stoppage-time following a corner.

Forest further reduced the deficit three minutes into the second half when Morgan Gibbs-White broke to clip the ball over Villa keeper Emi Martinez.

Villa restored their advantage in the 61st minute when Forest were caught playing out from the back and Leon Bailey slotted the ball in after Watkins’ effort was saved.

New Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner got off to the perfect start with a 3-0 win over 10-man Burnley at Selhurst Park.

The visitors were down to 10 men in the 35th minute when Josh Brownhill was shown a straight red card for bringing down Palace midfielder Jefferson Lerma.

Chris Richards headed Palace in front after 68 minutes, the American’s first goal for the club, before Jordan Ayew swiftly added another. Jean-Philippe Mateta wrapped things up with a third from the penalty spot.

Burnley, who remain deep in relegation trouble, saw a late goal from David Fofana ruled out for offside in the build-up.

Brighton captain Lewis Dunk struck a stoppage-time equaliser to snatch a 1-1 draw against Everton at the Amex Stadium.

Defender Jarrad Branthwait­e put Everton ahead with 17 minutes left when he rifled the ball into the top-right corner following a free-kick into the penalty area. Brighton midfielder Billy Gilmour was then shown a red card in the 81st minute for a foul on Amadou Onana - but Dunk headed in from a corner to secure the 10 men a point.
