PL roundup: Man United pick up vital win at Everton, Palace put four past Leeds

Portugal international Fernandes, though, turned the match around with a double strike in the space of seven minutes.

Fernandes headed in an equaliser on 25 minutes and then put United in front when his cross crept in off the far post.

Palace made it 2-0 after 22 minutes when Eberechi Eze curled a 25-yard free-kick over the wall and into the top corner, his first goal since arriving from QPR in the summer.

Leeds reduced the deficit just five minutes later when Bamford slotted in a knockdown from Mateusz Klich for a seventh goal of the campaign.

Ben Chilwell put the Blues ahead after 34 minutes, knocking a deep cross from Hakim Ziyech in at the far post.

Saturday’s evening kick-off saw late drama at the London Stadium as West Ham beat Fulham 1-0 with a stoppage-time goal from Tomas Soucek – and Ademola Lookman then had his ‘Panenka’ penalty saved.

The Irons almost took an early lead when French striker Sebastien Haller’s header came back off the crossbar before Fulham frontman Aleksandar Mitrovic nodded wide.

West Ham almost broke the deadlock five minutes into the second half when Aaron Cresswell’s drive was touched onto the crossbar by Fulham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola.

Just when it seemed the Cottagers had done enough to hold out for a point, Said Benrahma set up Soucek to fire in what looked like the winner.

There was, though, a dramatic finale as Tom Cairney went down in the penalty area after a corner, with referee Rob Jones taking another look on the pitchside monitor before pointing to the spot for a foul by substitute Benrahma

Lookman stepped up to take it, but scuffed the ball straight down the middle giving West Ham keeper Lukasz Fabianski the easiest of saves.
