Brenden Aaronson was a second half substitute for Leeds against Liverpool and notched an impressive assist while Chris Richards started and went the distance for Palace. That, and more, below.
Leeds 3 – 3 Liverpool
Brenden Aaronson was a 65th minute substitute and came on to provide an invaluable assist in Leeds United’s epic draw against Liverpool.
After beating Chelsea 3-1 during the week, a comeback draw against Liverpool may feel like a win for Leeds who are now in 16th place and just on the other side of the relegation zone.
After a goalless first half, Hugo Ekitike quickfire brace in the 48th and 50th minute forced the Leeds Manager into changes. Dominic Calvert-Lewin converted a 73rd minute spot kick before Aaronson was able to work his magic. Linking up through the midfield before providing the ball to Anton Stach to finish tightly in the 75th minute.
Liverpool thought they had scored the game winner in the 80th minute through Dominik Szoboszlai header, but Ao Tanaka scored the equalizing goal in the 6th minute of added time.
Up next, Brentford.

Fulham 1 – 2 Crystal Palace
Chris Richards went the distance in Crystal Palace’s dramatic win over Antonee Robinson’s Fulham.
Robinson did not feature for Fulham but compatriot Richards held down Palace’s back line in a strong performance. It was the visitors who struck first, Eddie Nketiah opening the scoring in the 20th minute with a well worked team goal. Fulham equalized through Harry Wilson in the 38th minute with what may be the goal of the season.
Captain Marc Guehi sealed the dramatic comeback in the 87th minute with late heroics. After a second half offside goal was ruled out for Fulham, this was the hammer blow to end the match.
Palace end the weekend in a Champions League position (4th place) while Fulham sit in 15th. Palace take on Shelbourne on Thursday in Europe before Man City at the weekend while Fulham take on Burnley.
