Nigerian-born Michael Olise converted a penalty deep in added time as a resilient Crystal Palace side hit back from 2-0 down against Premier League champions Manchester City to snatch a dramatic 2-2 draw at the death.
Jack Grealish had put City ahead in the 24th minute of the encounter, thus making it his third goal in three games  as City looked to move second in the table before Rico Lewis slammed home his first Premier League goal from inside the box for City’s second on 54 minutes, however  Jean-Philippe Mateta began the unlikely Palace fightback by converting from close range on 76 minutes.
Again, Mateta won his side a penalty when he was clearly taken out late by Phil Foden with only minutes left on the clock to stun the City fans, who had watched their side dominate possession and chances.
The resultant penalty was converted by the visitors who left Etihad with a vital away point.

Chelsea Football  club  recorded back-to-back home wins for the first in a year after seeing off Sheffield United 2-0 courtesy of goals from Cole Palmer in the 54th minute and Senegal attacker, Nicolas Jackson 61st minute strike.

The match  turned out to be  a one-sided affair but it took the hosts some time to break down the visitors.

All efforts to score a goal in the encounter proved abortive for the visitors who are still languishing in relegation waters.

New boy Nkunku who has been out injured since he  joined the Blues  would have to wait for his debut as he was an unused substitute today.

Prior to the game, Newcastle had suffered defeats in their last two Premier League matches. Interestingly, both encounters resulted in heavy losses for Eddie Howe’s side. Firstly, the Magpies lost 3-0 away to Everton, followed by a 4-1 defeat against Tottenham in London.

These losses have pushed Newcastle seven points away from the Champions League zone.

After 16 rounds, the team sits in seventh place with 26 points. Additionally, Newcastle faced a loss at home against AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League earlier this week, leading to their exit from European competition.

But the Toofees shoved their defeats aside to inflict a heavy loss on Fulham to improve their ranking on the log.
