IMAGES from the Premier League matches played on Sunday.
Harrison Reed's 97th-minute screamer gave Fulham a dramatic 2-2 home draw against Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday, after Cody Gakpo thought he had won it for the visitors in added time.
Liverpool academy graduate Harry Wilson gave Fulham the lead in the 17th minute with a sweet shot into the bottom corner after he was played in by Raul Jimenez, with the goal initially disallowed for offside before VAR intervened.
The visitors looked toothless in the first half without top scorer Hugo Ekitike, but improved after the break and Florian Wirtz put them level with a clinical finish in the 57th minute for his second Liverpool goal.
After Alexis Mac Allister and Wilson both hit the woodwork in a frantic, end-to-end second half, Gakpo seemingly snatched the win in the 94th minute, bundling home Jeremie Frimpong's cross to spark wild celebrations from the travelling Reds.
But Reed earned a share of the spoils at the death with a sublime long-range strike, finding the top corner from all of 30 metres with his first goal since April 2023.
Fulham coach Marco Silva said he thought his side had deserved a point, telling reporters a defeat after their performance would have been "completely unfair for us".
Liverpool – now unbeaten in eight league games and nine in all competitions – remain fourth on 34 points from 20 games, 14 points behind leaders Arsenal. Fulham are 11th with 28 points.
Reds coach Arne Slot said he thought his side had controlled the game but that, having seen Liverpool concede late winners earlier in the season, Fulham's equaliser was "not a surprise".
Liverpool had the better early chances, with Gakpo having a shot deflected just wide before spurning a better opportunity when played through by Curtis Jones but he scuffed his effort.
Wilson, who has made two senior Liverpool appearances, made no mistake in a near-identical position shortly after, firing crisply across Alisson from just inside the box having run on to Jimenez's perfectly-weighted ball around the corner.
Liverpool looked flat and slow, with Gakpo looking out of sorts in an unfamiliar central role and Fulham were rarely troubled before the break.
The Reds began brightly after halftime, though, and Gakpo had the ball in the net within two minutes of the restart but was clearly offside.
Wirtz thought he was the latest to have an apparent goal disallowed, finishing nicely after Conor Bradley's barrelling run before the flag went up. But after a lengthy VAR check the goal stood, with Issa Diop having played the German onside.
"I was sure it was offside so I didn't even celebrate," Wirtz told Sky Sports. "I was happy that I scored but I'd rather take the three points."
Liverpool were rampant and Fulham had to cling on before they began to reassert themselves, with the dangerous Wilson hitting the crossbar with a chip after Alisson fumbled at the feet of Jimenez on the edge of the box.
Fulham's fans roared in expectation as seven added minutes were announced but it was Gakpo who seemingly settled the contest with a scruffy finish after Joachim Andersen missed an attempted block.
Reed, though, had other ideas and unleashed an unstoppable shot past Alisson to give Fulham a point they fully deserved.
Liverpool again dropped points to a late goal, making even the most optimistic fan's hopes that the Reds can still defend their league title a pipe dream.
Cunha saves Manchester Utd the blushes in dramatic draw
Manchester United snatched a 1-1 draw at Leeds United on Sunday after Matheus Cunha cancelled out Brenden Aaronson's opener in a frantic three-minute spell that epitomised a chaotic Premier League encounter.
The Brazilian forward shouldered the creative burden for United with several key players missing, proving a constant menace before silencing the raucous Elland Road crowd with his second-half equaliser.
The draw between the two age-old rivals lifted the visitors provisionally to fifth place with 31 points while Leeds remain 16th on 22 points.
"We know how big this game is for everyone. But it's good to have a point here also," Cunha told TNT Sports.
"It was so hard. We know what to expect, what to bring to the game. They try to do everything to win."
Leeds set an aggressive tone early in a scrappy first half that produced few clear chances despite the intensity.
United thought they had drawn first blood when Cunha volleyed home from range, only for the goal to be chalked off for offside in the build-up.
The home side nearly broke the deadlock in the 35th minute when in-form striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin's glancing header from a cross struck the far post with United keeper Senne Lammens beaten.
At the other end, Leny Yoro's header forced a fine reflex save from Leeds keeper Lucas Perri as the teams went into the break goalless.
Leeds finally found their breakthrough just after the hour mark when Pascal Struijk played Aaronson through behind United's defence.
The American sprinted past an unsuspecting Ayden Heaven before beating Lammens to send Elland Road into raptures, but their celebrations were short-lived.
United substitute Joshua Zirkzee made an instant impact moments after entering the fray, setting Cunha through on goal and the Brazilian slipped his shot past Perri to level the score, silencing the home crowd in the 65th minute.
The drama continued as both sides pressed for a winner. Noah Okafor nearly restored Leeds' lead with an acrobatic overhead kick from a set-piece, but Lammens produced a fine save to deny the Swiss forward.
Cunha himself hit the post when he tried to curl home what would have been the winner while Zirkzee nearly set up another goal, only for Benjamin Sesko to fire it wide.
"Overall, if you see the game we had more control. We created more chances, we controlled well," United manager Ruben Amorim told BBC.
"So, if you look at the game you feel the frustration that we had the chance to win. It is a tough match in tough conditions."
Leeds substitute Joel Piroe nearly snatched victory for the home side when put through on goal, but the Dutchman's first-time curling effort sailed over the bar as both teams settled for a point in an entertaining Yorkshire thriller.
"If you play Manchester United as a newly-promoted side it's always a good point," Leeds boss Daniel Farke said.
"We were a bit tired today, nevertheless we found a way. We forced an opener and would have taken all three points, so for that I'm a bit disappointed. But if I calm down I have to say it's a fair point."
Spurs drop points
Tottenham Hotspur's woeful home form continued in a 1-1 draw with Sunderland that increases the pressure on manager Thomas Frank. Ben Davies's close-range effort looked as though it might give Spurs their third home league win of the season but Brian Brobbey powered home an 80th-minute equaliser.
Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes paved the way for a 2-0 home win against Crystal Palace that took Eddie Howe's stuttering side into the top half of the table.
He broke the deadlock with a 71st-minute header and Malick Thiaw wrapped it up for the hosts from close range.
Thiago tricks as Brentford beat Everton 4-2
Brentford striker Igor Thiago netted a superb hat-trick as his side stormed to a 4-2 win at Everton on Sunday that moved them up to seventh place in the Premier League, strengthening their challenge to qualify for Europe for the first time.
The visitors made their breakthrough early, winning the ball high up the pitch for Vitaly Janelt to pick out Brazilian Thiago in the middle, and he steered a low volley past Jordan Pickford and into the bottom corner in the 11th minute.
Everton started the second half strongly but were quickly derailed by a Nathan Collins goal from a corner in the 50th minute and Thiago's second just over a minute and a half later, but a goal from substitute Beto made it 3-1 and set up a grandstand finish.
As Everton poured forward, Thiago completed his hat-trick in the 88th minute and a late goal from Thierno Barry couldn't prevent Brentford from taking all three points.
