Premier League drama

Fulham 5-3 Leicester

First up was Fulham v Leicester. The home side opened the scoring through a Willian free-kick before strikes from Carlos Vinicius and Tom Cairney raced them into a 3-0 lead at half-time. 

Cairney added another in the second half before Harvey Barnes pulled a goal back for the away side, who also saw Jamie Vardy miss a penalty. Willian re-established Fulham's four-goal lead with another superb strike before Maddison netted Leicester's second with a spot-kick and Barnes scored a late third. 

   

This was the reaction of James Maddison after the match.

He tweeted in response: "We were not good enough today and we’ve only got ourselves to blame and apologise for that. But as someone who sees the work we are doing every single day to try and put this right, it’s not down to attitude or application. We will keep going until the very end."

Brighton 1-5 Everton

Everton produced a sensational display of counter-attacking to climb out of the Premier League relegation zone with an incredible win that placed a dent in Brighton's European ambitions. You can watch the highlights in the video below.

Nathan, an Everton fan, told us: "I have not seen Everton play this way in a long time. It was such a joy to watch."

Peter, a Brighton fan, added: "That was a poor performance but I think the players were just tired after a packed schedule of matches. I just hope that we can recover and still qualify for Europe."

Nottingham Forest 4-3 Southampton

There were 14 goals in the previous two matches. Surely, the last game of the day wasn't to keep up with this pace.  Forest came out on top in a seven-goal thriller as they climbed out of the bottom three to leave Southampton on the brink of relegation. You can see some of the game's best moments in the video below.

Paul, a Forest fan, told us: We conceded some poor goals but also scored some spectacular goals. I know Gibbs-White got man of the match, but I think Danilo deserves a shoutout from his performance last night. What an incredible night."

Shane, a Southampton fan, added: "Jay: We are officially relegated in my eyes now, this summer is huge for us as we are going to get a new manager and several new players."

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players.

After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
