Tyler Adams and Bournemouth stayed red hot this weekend, while Antonee Robinson and Fulham left it late at Craven Cottage. Chris Richards and Palace, however, head into the international break searching for answers.
Fulham 1 – 1 Newcastle United
Antonee Robinson started at left back and went the full 90 as Fulham came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw with Newcastle United. The match stayed scoreless until the 80th minute, when Jacob Murphy punished a Fulham turnover and curled a strike into the net from distance.
Fulham answered almost immediately. Rodrigo Muniz came off the bench and equalized in the 83rd minute with an improvised flick through traffic to make it 1-1. Robinson and Fulham saw out the draw to extend their unbeaten Premier League run to four matches. The Cottagers sit 15th in the table and travel to Manchester City after the international break.
Ipswich Town 1 – 2 AFC Bournemouth
Tyler Adams started and went the full 90 as Bournemouth continued their incredible run with a 2-1 win at Ipswich Town. Evanilson opened the scoring in the fifth minute after catching goalkeeper Christian Walton in possession and rolling the ball into an empty net.
The Cherries doubled their lead just 30 seconds into the second half when Ryan Christie’s shot took a deflection off Leif Davis and ended up in the back of the net for an own goal. Jack Clarke pulled one back from the penalty spot in the 73rd minute, but Bournemouth held on through nine minutes of stoppage time. The win is Bournemouth’s eighth straight in all competitions and sends them into the international break seventh in the Premier League. They host Nottingham Forest next.
Crystal Palace 1 – 3 Liverpool
Chris Richards started and went the full 90 as Crystal Palace fell 3-1 to Liverpool at Selhurst Park. Palace had chances in the first half, including a Jørgen Strand Larsen goal ruled out for offside in the 33rd minute, but Alexis Mac Allister put Liverpool ahead against the run of play in the 40th minute.
Florian Wirtz doubled the lead in the 54th minute before Alexander Isak made it 3-0 in the 89th. Palace finally got on the board in the 90+5th minute when Eddie Nketiah converted from the penalty spot, but it was far too late to change the result. Richards played every minute as Palace suffered their fourth straight Premier League loss and dropped to the bottom of the table. The Eagles travel to Coventry City after the international break.
Notes:
Brenden Aaronson was an unused substitute as Leeds United beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at Elland Road. Noah Okafor scored the winner in the 79th minute, less than two minutes after coming off the bench. Leeds head into the international break ninth in the Premier League and travel to Chelsea next.
Haji Wright remained out of the Coventry City squad for Friday’s 3-1 loss at Everton. Wright has resumed light individual work on the practice field as he continues to recover from the quad injury that has kept him out all season.
Zavier Gozo did not make Crystal Palace’s matchday squad against Liverpool.
Gabriel Slonina did not make Chelsea’s matchday squad for Sunday’s 1-0 loss at Sunderland. Mike Penders started in goal, while Teddy Sharman-Lowe served as the backup.
