🦁 Everton safe after two-goal comeback; Burnley claim vital point | OneFootball

There was a huge night in the battle for Premier League survival on Thursday and you can catch up on what happened here.

Everton come from two goals down to secure PL safety

Scorers: Keane 55′, Richarlison 75′, Calvert-Lewin 86′; Mateta 21′, Ayew 36′.

Everton came from two goals behind to secure their Premier League safety after a dramatic comeback win over Crystal Palace.

Palace went into the half-time break with what looked like a commanding lead courtesy of goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Jordan Ayew.

Mateta gave the visitors the lead after he headed Ebere Eze’s free-kick home from close range before Ayew scrambled the ball home from three yards out after Jordan Pickford had parried into his path initially saving Wilfried Zaha’s shot.

But a determined second-half display from Frank Lampard’s men turned the tide and ensured they will be playing top-flight football next season.

First, Michael Keane tucked the ball into the bottom corner after Mason Holgate nodded the ball into his path inside the box from a free-kick before Richarlison’s deflected finish brought the Toffees level.

Then Dominic Calvert-Lewin brought on a premature pitch invasion with a thumping header from Demarai Gray’s cross into the box four minutes from time to earn an important and priceless three points for the Merseysiders.

Burnley’s survival task goes to the last day

Scorers: Buendia 48′; Barnes (pen) 45′.

Burnley will go into the final day knowing survival is in their own hands after earning a draw at Villa Park.

The Clarets started the night in the relegation zone but the picture looked a lot brighter at half-time when they nipped ahead just before the break.

Emi Buendia fouled Maxwel Cornet in the box allowing Ashley Barnes to send Emí Martinez the wrong way from the spot.

But Buendia redeemed himself at the start of the second half to equalise for the Villains, volleying John McGinn’s lofted ball under the body of Nick Pope.

It was a backs-to-the-wall job for the visitors in stoppage time after Matt Lowton saw red for a late challenge on Callum Chambers.

Mike Jackson’s team move above Leeds and up to 17th with both sides having 35 points, although Burnley have a considerably stronger goal difference.

Alonso volley all but wraps up third for Chelsea

Scorers: Alonso 35′; Maddison 7′.

Chelsea have all but claimed a third-placed finish after drawing with Leicester.

The Foxes did take the lead early on when James Maddison dancedround Thiago Silva before unleashing a right-footed drive into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.

But Marcos Alonso volleyed the hosts level at the back post after being picked out by Reece James’ chipped cross ten minutes before the break.

Thomas Tuchel’s men move on to 71 points with fourth-placed Tottenham on 68 points, however Chelsea hold a considerably stronger goal difference.
