Tottenham won
With a late goal from Son Heung-min, Tottenham beat troubled Luton Twon 2-1 on Saturday and kept the pressure on Aston Villa in the fight for fourth place in the table.
Spurs, who had Cristian Cuti Romero as a starter and Gio Lo Celso on the pitch for the last 23 minutes, were close to a first draw at home against Luton, who are in the relegation zone, but the South Korean captain had another idea and scored towards the end of the match.
Tottenham were lethargic in the first half and paid for it when Tahith Chong shot on goal and made no mistake. Spurs equalized the score early in the second half with a goal from Issa Kabore, under pressure from Timo Werner.
Draw for Chelsea
Chelsea winger Cole Palmer has become the fifth player to reach 20 goals in his first season in the Premier League. It was 2-2 with Burnley, left with 10 men.
Chelsea, with Enzo Fernández from the start, wasted several chances in the first half and had a goal disallowed in the 20th minute. In the end they took the lead with a penalty from Palmer, who kicked Muric.
VAR’s decision to award the penalty for a foul by Mykhailo Mudryk in the six-yard box left Burnley manager Vincent Kompany shocked and the referee gave him a red card for protesting. Lorenz Assington received a second yellow for shooting Mudryk.
Burnley push on and equalize with a volley from Josh Cullen. Palmer restored Chelsea’s lead, but Dara O’Sha equalized again with a header.
Newcastle’s return
Newcastle won a seven-goal thriller against West Ham and came back from 3-1 down with 13 minutes left to win 4-3 at St. James’ Park.
Harvey Barnes scored two goals, including the injury-time winner.
“Today is a day we will never forget,” Barnes said. “It was a difficult season for me. I missed that feeling, that’s what you want as a player. It’s incredible.” The other two goals in the winner came from Alexander Isak from the penalty spot.
Mohammed Kudus, Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen scored for the Londoners
West Ham also remain one point above Newcastle, who have reached eighth place in the table.
The other parties
A spectacular match, which started goalless at half-time, ended in a 3-3 draw between Sheffield United and Fulham. Nottingham Forest – Gonzalo Montiel and Nico Domínguez did not come off the bench – left bottom of the table with a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.
