🦁 Liverpool take another step towards title, Man Utd scrape past Ipswich | OneFootball

There was another bunch of Premier League fixtures to enjoy on Wednesday evening.

Here's what happened.

Liverpool shine again with win over Newcastle

Scorers: Szoboszlai 11', Mac Allister 63'

Liverpool went 13 points clear at the top of the Premier League table with a 2-0 victory over a Newcastle side that were missing Alexander Isak.

Arne Slot's men took the advantage quickly when a clever pull-back from the left wing from Luis Díaz found Dominik Szoboszlai, who drilled his finish low into the back of the net.

Into the second half and Newcastle gave the ball away cheaply in midfield, allowing Alexis Mac Allister to make an excellent run forward, handing off the ball to Mohamed Salah, who played the one-two, allowing the Argentina international to deliver a top-quality finish to double Liverpool's lead.

Up next for the Reds is the first leg of their Champions League clash with PSG.

Nottingham Forest hold Arsenal to stalemate

Arsenal's title hopes took a further nose dive after they were held to a 0-0 draw at the City ground.

Both teams huffed and puffed, and Arsenal would've taken the lead through Martin Ødegaard if it wasn't for a sensational goal-line clearance from Nottingham Forest's Murillo.

But neither side could find the breakthrough and the sides second and third in the Premier League table ended up settling for a point.

Manchester City edge out narrow victory over Spurs

Scorers: Haaland 12'

Man City had the lead when a flat cross across the box from Jérémy Doku caught the Tottenham defence static, allowing an unmarked Erling Haaland to tap home a simple chance.

Haaland thought he had doubled his side's lead in stoppage time, but the goal was ruled out as the VAR had spotted a handball from the Norwegian striker.

Manchester United scrape past Ipswich in action-packed clash

Scorers: Philogene 4' 45+2'; Morsy (OG) 22', De Ligt 26', Maguire

Sent off: Dorgu 43'

Ten-man Manchester United beat Ipswich by a 3-2 scoreline after a topsy-turvy encounter at Old Trafford.

Ipswich took the lead early in the game after a long pass forward saw Jaden Philogene pounce on the ball, and a mix up between Andre Onana and Patrick Dorgu allowed the winger to make a simple finish to put the Tractor Boys ahead.

The uncomfortable atmosphere at Old Trafford was relieved when Bruno Fernandes whipped in a free-kick with pace, and it was deflected into his own net by Sam Morsy.

And the Reds completed the turnaround when Mathijs de Ligt poked home a shot from close range after Ipswich stopper Alex Palmer had parried the ball away twice.

Just before half-time, Dorgu was shown a red card for a studs-up challenge on Omari Hutchinson.

That led to Ipswich drawing level before the end of the first 45 minutes, as Onana failed to deal with a cross under very little pressure, allowing Philogene to tap home his second.

Into the second 45 minutes and Man Utd hit back, as a strong Harry Maguire header from a Fernandes corner put the home side 3-2 up.

The defeat sees Ipswich plunged into further trouble at the bottom of the table, despite a brave first half performance.

Everton rescue a point away at Brentford

Scorers: Wissa 45+4'; O'Brien 77'

A second half equaliser saw Everton take a 1-1 draw away at Brentford.

The home side took the lead in first half stoppage time as Yoane Wissa finally converted after a game of head tennis following a long throw into the box.

Midway through the second half and Everton found their equaliser, as Jake O'Brien scored his first for the Toffees, getting ahead of his marker and stooping low to head home.

Everton now have just one point less than Manchester United and sit 15th in the table, while Brentford are up to 11th.

The Premier League fixtures continue on Thursday, as West Ham take on Leicester.
