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.

 Manchester United 3 - 3 Coventry City Manchester United won 4-2 on penalties  United somehow progressed to the FA Cup final for the second successive season, following a dramatic semi-final victory over Coventry City. The Reds edged past the Sky Blues on penalties after a crazy and eventful 120 minutes to set up a rematch of last year's final, against Manchester City. Following goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes, United appeared to be in total and complete control. Despite having a few chances, it did look like this was one match too far for Coventry. However, goals Ellis Simms and O'Hare reduced the deficit and made things very nervy for Ten Hag's side. Then in stoppage time, Haji Wright kept his nerve in stoppage time to score from the spot and send the game into extra time. Many Manchester United fans were furious at this point.  Disgraceful performance from #mufc https://t.co/sibOvrXJB0 pic.twitter.com/dPV06sMrkJ — Jay Dee (@JDESFNews)

Manchester United 1 - 1 Burnley Zeki Amdouni scored a late penalty to grab what could he a priceless point for relegation-threatened Burnley in the Premier League at Old Trafford. Despite another unconvincing display from Manchester United, they did look well set for victory thanks to Antony's well-taken 79th-minute effort. Then Burnley got a penalty  Although the referee John Brooks managed to miss the foul in real time, unlike against Wolves the video assistant referee, Peter Bankes, stepped in. Substitute Amdouni managed to send the keeper the wrong way and earn Burnley this point  This result moved Burnley to within two points of fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest, whom they play at Turf Moor on the final day of the season.  There could still be a dramatic fight for survival with Burnley, Luton and Forest all scrambling to avoid relegation to the Championship.  You can watch the highlights of the match in the video below.
