LONDON: Newcastle United secured a 2-0 victory against Crystal Palace in their latest Premier League match on Sunday with goals from Bruno Guimaraes and Malick Thiaw. 

The win lifts them to ninth place in the current Premier League standings.

Meanwhile, Harrison Reed struck a stunning equalizer for Fulham to salvage a 2-2 draw against Liverpool as both sides scored in stoppage time, while Manchester United were held 1-1 at Leeds.

Liverpool looked set to consolidate their place in the Premier League’s top four when they came from behind to lead at Craven Cottage.

Harry Wilson opened the scoring against his former club to give Fulham a deserved half-time lead.

Liverpool improved markedly after the break to extend their unbeaten run to nine games.

Florian Wirtz leveled before Cody Gakpo steered home Jeremie Frimpong’s cross in the 94th minute.

However, the visitors’ celebrations were cut short when Reed took aim from outside the box and blasted into the top corner for his first goal in three years.

A point keeps Liverpool three points ahead of fifth-placed United in the battle for a place in next season’s Champions League.

The Red Devils were headed to a rare defeat at Elland Road as the sides rekindled their historic rivalry after Leeds’ two-year absence from the Premier League.

Brenden Aaronson’s strike early in the second half sparked wild scenes of jubilation among the home fans, but Matheus Cunha quickly leveled to ensure United did not fall to a first defeat against Leeds in 16 years.

United have consistently wasted opportunities to move into the top four in recent weeks and Ruben Amorim hinted he will not remain at Old Trafford beyond the end of his contract in 18 months’ time.

“I came here to be the manager, not to be the coach,” said Amorim.
