Nottingam Forest 1-1 Manchester City

Manchester City failed to reclaim top spot in the Premier League after dropping points at Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening.

Phil Foden and Aymeric Laporte were recalled to the Citizens line-up after the win over Arsenal, with Riyad Mahrez and Nathan Ake dropping to the bench.

It took a while for City to break down Forest, but they did so in fine fashion as Bernardo Silva opened the scoring on 41 minutes with a sumptious strike from just outside the area.

City had a few chances to extend their lead, with both Erling Haaland and Foden squanderin golden chances in the second half.

The visitors were made to pay for that miss as substitute Chris Wood equalised in the 84th minute by turning home Morgan Gibbs-White's cross.

Chelsea 1-0 Southampton

Chelsea's struggles in the Premier League continued after going down 1-0 to Southampton at Stamford Bridge.

Graham Potter recalled Cesar Azpilicueta, Benoit Badiashile, Mateo Kovacic, Noni Madueke, Mason Mount and Datro David Fofana after the midweek defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League.

The Saints managed to take a lead into the break when captain James Ward-Prowse found the back of the net with wonderful free-kick.

The Blues were left frustrated in front of goal all second half, while they also lost the services of Azpilicueta after nasty clash of heads.

Brentford 1-1 Crystal Palace

Brentford struck late to earn themselves a point against Crystal Palace to extend their unbeaten run to 11 matches.

Palace took the lead in the 69th minute when Michael Olise's inviting cross was headed home by Eberechi Eze for his fourth league goal.

Vitaly Janelt was the hero for Brentford after powering home a cross from Bryan Mbeumo in the sixth miniute of time added on.

Brighton and Hove Albion 0-1 Fulham

Fulham climbed up to sixth spot on the Premier League table after defeating Brighton and Hove Albion 1-0 on Saturday afternoon.

The game was seemingly headed for a draw until Manor Solomon got the winning goal for the visitors in the 88th minute after being set up by Carlos Vinicius.

Everton 1-0 Leeds United

Everton boosted their hopes of survival with a vital win over fellow strugglers Leeds United

Sean Dyche's men found the breakthrough just after the hour mark, with Seamus Coleman firing home from a tight angle.

The win taks Everton up to 16th spot, while Leeds find themselves in 19th position.

Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-1 Bournemouth

Bournemouth moved out of the relegation zone after defeating Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 at Molineux Stadium.

After a scoreless first half, the away side got the opening goal  on 49 minutes as Marcus Tavernier nodded home a cross from Dominic Solanke.
