Premier League results: Liverpool beat Crystal Palace in seven goal thriller at Anfield and Paul Pogba scores again for Manchester United in win over Brighton
Wolves edged Leicester City 4-3 in the Premier League early kick-off with a last minute goal from Diogo Jota sealing the points at Molineux and here is what happened in the 3pm fixtures.

Bournemouth 2-0 West Ham

West Ham struggled in the absence of unsettled forward Marko Arnautovic as Callum Wilson underlined his value to Bournemouth by setting them on course to victory at the Vitality Stadium.Austria international Arnautovic, who has been heavily linked with a big-money move to China, was left out of the Hammers’ squad for the trip to Dorset.Cherries top scorer Wilson has himself been subject to January transfer rumours and he returned from a two-game injury absence in style by smashing home early in the first half before Joshua King sealed a 2-0 win in stoppage time.6

Callum Wilson opens the scoring for Bournemouth

Wilson’s thunderous strike was his 10th Premier League goal of the season and is likely to fuel further speculation of him moving to Chelsea or replacing Arnautovic at the London Stadium.It also helped end Bournemouth’s five-match winless run in all competitions and secure just a third victory from their last 13 top-flight games.

Liverpool 4-3 Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Julian Speroni’s error gifted Liverpool the win to keep them on track in the title race after the Premier League leaders had almost squandered their advantage in a 4-3 victory at Anfield.The Argentinian, who turns 40 in May, was making his first appearance since December 2017 because of injuries to Wayne Hennessey and Vicente Guaita.After an unexpectedly quiet first half the heat was turned up on Speroni and the pressure eventually told with the score at 2-2 when he palmed James Milner’s bouncing cross up in the air virtually into his own net before Mohamed Salah made it 3-2 on the goalline.It was the Egypt international’s 50th Premier League strike in 72 matches – only Andrew Cole, Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Alan Shearer achieved the landmark in fewer appearances – having previously scored the goal to get Jurgen Klopp’s side back on track at the start of the second half.6

Mo Salah scored twice against Crystal Palace

Andros Townsend had given the visitors a surprise lead but after Salah cancelled that out Roberto Firmino converted the Reds’ 1,000th Premier League goal at Anfield.James Tomkins’ header made it level but Speroni’s blunder handed the initiative to the hosts.However, there was a manic finish with Sadio Mane and Eagles substitute Max Mayer both scoring in added time after James Milner had been sent off for a second bookable offence on Wilfried Zaha.

Manchester United 2-1 Brighton

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s record-breaking start to life in the Manchester UnitedManchester United dugout continued as Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford struck against Brighton to secure a seventh straight win in all competitions.On a day when Old Trafford stood to remember Sir Matt Busby ahead of the 25th anniversary of his death on Sunday, the caretaker manager broke another of the Scot’s long-standing United records.In the process of claiming a seventh successive victory in the hotseat, Solskjaer became the first Red Devils boss to win their first six league games, with Pogba’s penalty and a Rashford stunner helping see off Chris Hughton’s Brighton 2-1.6

Paul Pogba scores from the penalty spot for Manchester United

This victorious streak sees United’s 1999 treble hero go level with Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola in the Premier League record books, and further justifies the club’s decision to parachute him in to replace Jose Mourinho a month ago.Pogba was reduced to a watching brief under the divisive Portuguese but continues to go from strength to strength under Solskjaer.The France midfielder scored the penalty he won in a first half that saw in-form Rashford mark his 150th appearance for the club with a stunning strike from an acute angle.Pascal Gross scored the only goal of the second period as Brighton pushed but ultimately failed to end Solskjaer’s winning run.

Newcastle 3-0 Cardiff City

Fabian Schar scored the first goals of his Newcastle career to drag Rafael Benitez’s men out of the Premier League relegation zone with a 3-0 victory over Cardiff.The Switzerland defender, a 3million summer signing from Deportivo la Coruna, produced an accomplished first half finish to put the Magpies on the road to just a second league win in 10 attempts which was completed by Ayoze Perez in stoppage time.6

Fabian Schar celebrates his second for Newcastle

On an afternoon when things might have turned ugly with any other result as hopes of a takeover fade, under-fire owner Mike Ashley was back among a crowd of 49,864 at St James’ Park for the first time since November 10.He was treated to resounding choruses of “Stand up if you hate Ashley” and “We want Ashley out”, but saw his team produce a committed performance which deservedly yielded the three points they desperately needed.If Ashley and Benitez headed for home with smiles on their faces, Cardiff boss Neil Warnock saw his club, who had loan signing Oumar Niasse on show for the first time, drop back into the relegation zone.

Southampton 2-1 Everton

James Ward-Prowse’s thumping drive sparked Southampton’s 2-1 Premier League win over Everton.The England midfielder’s second goal in as many league matches set up consecutive top-flight victories for both the second time this term – and under new manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.6

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg battles for possession with Lucas Digne

Lucas Digne put through his own net for Saints’ second, as the St Mary’s Stadium men shook off their midweek FA Cup loss to Championship side Derby.Gylfi Sigurdsson’s neat finish set up a fraught finale but Saints held on for a fully-merited victory.

Watford 0-0 Burnley

Watford failed to deliver a fitting tribute to their former chairman Graham Taylor after they were held to a goalless draw by Burnley at Vicarage Road.To mark two years since Taylor’s death, the Hornets paid tribute with a complimentary drink for the club’s fans, and a scarf display in the moments before kick-off.6

Burnley’s Chris Wood holds off Adrian Mariappa

But an off-colour Watford never looked like beating a rapidly-improving Burnley side, who even had a goal chalked off in injury time for offside.Chris Wood had the ball in the net from Dwight McNeil’s shot, but the assistant referee spared Watford by raising his flag.
