Premier League Match Week 14 Results

A thriller at Brighton delivered as promised. Aston Villa fought back from a 2-0 deficit on the road to defeat the Seagulls in a 4-3 thriller. Ollie Watkins scored a brace to key the Villa comeback in an encouraging sign that the striker may be awakening from his season long slumber. Jan Paul van Hecke scored twice in the losing cause for shellshocked Brighton, which lost for the first time at home this season.

No one, however, was more shell-shocked this week than Chelsea, which was rocked 3-1 at Leeds. Leeds had won but one of its previous eight matches as calls intensified for the sack of Manager Daniel Farke. Wednesday’s performance threw a lifeline to the embattled manager as his side ended a four-match losing run to exit the relegation zone at least temporarily.

The return of Cole Palmer from a lengthy injury absence did not have the desired effect for a Chelsea squad which clearly missed the defensive presence of suspended Moises Caicedo.

Arsenal Manager Mikel Arteta demonstrated the depth of his league leading squad by introducing Ben White, Noni Madueke and Martin Odegaard to the side that had drawn with Chelsea in its previous match. The Gunners easily took care of business by registering a league best eighth clean sheet in putting down Brentford 2-0 at the Emirates on Wednesday. Arsenal has conceded just seven goals in 14 matches this season.

Good defense was less evident in a nine-goal shootout between Manchester City and Fulham. The Citizens went up 3-0 before Fulham scored in first half stoppage time. Balls then kept flying into the net for both sides before Manchester City emerged with a 5-4 win at Craven Cottage. Phil Foden scored a brace for Manchester City which also saw Erling Haaland score his 15th goal of the season while substitute Samuel Chukwueze scored a late brace for Fulham to threaten the visiting Citizens.

Crystal Palace was also a road winner as wing back Daniel Munoz scored the winner in a 1-0 win at Burnley. The relegation bound Clarets lost their fifth consecutive league match.

A Sunderland 81st minute own goal resulted in a 1-1 draw at Anfield and saved Liverpool from complete embarrassment in another poor performance by Manager Arne Slot’s defending champions. Mohamed Salah was a second half substitute for Liverpool after being excluded from Manager Arne Slot’s starting lineup for a second consecutive match.

Newcastle supporters were gutted when Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero delivered an overhead kick to score a 95th minute equalizer in a 2-2 final at St. James’s Park. The Magpies had taken a 2-1 lead on an 86th minute penalty kick by Anthony Gordon which had the Magpies temporarily on course for a third consecutive league win. Soft defense on Tottenham Hotspur’s late stoppage time corner, however, allowed for Romero’s heroics.

Bournemouth continues to slide down the table after an encouraging start to its season. The Cherries lost for the fourth time in a five-match winless run with a 1-0 defeat to Everton on Tuesday. Bournemouth managed just two shots on target in a match decided by a Jack Grealish goal for the Toffees in the 78th minute. Everton posted a third clean sheet in the Toffees’ last four matches, the outlier being last week’s  inexplicable 4-1 home loss to Newcastle. The tenth place Toffees are only three points removed from the top four in the logjammed top half of the Premier League table.

Certainty of standing can be found at the bottom of the table, however, where Wolverhampton has unchallenged title to the Premier League basement. Wolves failed to win for the 14th time this season in a 1-0 home loss to Nottingham Forest. A seventh straight defeat now has Wolves 12 points south of safety. Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, has won three of the last four matches under Manager Sean Dyche as the Tricky Trees continue to put potential relegation in their rear window.

West Ham, meanwhile, was cast into the relegation zone with a 1-1 draw with Manchester United following on Leeds’s surprising win over Chelsea. It could have been even worse for the Hammers who salvaged a point on Soungoutou Magassa’s 83rd minute equalizer.

The Premier League teams now have little chance to catch their breath before Match Week 15 unfolds this weekend. Saturday’s early match presents a marquee matchup when streaking Aston Villa plays host to league leading Arsenal in a top four clash. Later that morning the scrappy Black Cats of Sunderland will try to steal a result at the Etihad versus Manchester City. Sunderland has been punching above its weight as a newly promoted team, losing just one of its last seven league matches, a run that includes a win versus Chelsea and draws with Arsenal and Liverpool.
