V2 Premier League Sunday drama - 1

AFC Bournemouth 4 - 1 Leeds United

Bournemouth earned a superb 4-1 win to deepen Leeds' relegation worries. A quick-fire Jefferson Lerma played a key part in lifting his side further away from relegation danger and leaving the visitors a point clear of the drop zone.

Fulham 1 - 2 Manchester City

Manchester City beat Fulham to return to the top of the Premier League for the first time since February as Erling Haaland scored his 50th goal of the season in all competitions. Fulham did themselves proud on the day but didn't offer enough in an attacking sense to worry the title favourites too much.

Manchester United 1 - 0 Aston Villa

Bruno Fernandes scored his 100th career league goal to boost Manchester United's Champions League hopes. The Red Devils now only need to pick up 9 more points to guarantee qualification for next season's Champions League. Villa will still be hopeful that they can qualify for a form of continental competition next season.

Newcastle United 3 - 1 Southampton

Newcastle fought back to beat Southampton and strengthen their place in the top four. Saints took a surprise lead in the first half when Stuart Armstrong turned in Kamaldeen Sulemana's low ball following a swift counter. Two goals from Callum Wilson and an own goal from Theo Walcott secured the win for the home side and moved them ever closer to their first Champions League qualification since 2003.

Liverpool 4 - 3 Tottenham Hotspur 

An injury-time winner from Diogo Jota gave Liverpool a dramatic win at Anfield after Tottenham looked on course to secure a draw despite going three goals behind inside 15 minutes. When Richarlison headed home in stoppage time, Spurs fans were dreaming of an unlikely point. This was until Jota capitalised on poor Spurs defending to give Liverpool the win and maintain their small Champions League qualification hopes.

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. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. 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
