Premier League: Eberechi Eze Stars In Crystal Palace Draw As Aubameyang Own Goal Condemns Arsenal To Fourth Straight Home Loss

  Premier League: Eberechi Eze Stars In Crystal Palace Draw As Aubameyang Own Goal Condemns Arsenal To Fourth Straight Home Loss By Omolagba Oluwayemi Jose Mourinho refused to blame Hugo Lloris after the keeper's mistake denied leaders Tottenham victory at Crystal Palace before their top-of-the-table game at Liverpool on Wednesday. Harry Kane put Spurs on course for a sixth win in seven league games with a shot from 30 yards which Vicente Guaita should have saved. But Palace deservedly equalised when Jeffrey Schlupp bundled home after France World Cup winner Lloris could not hold Eberechi Eze's free-kick. Southampton moved into the Premier League's top four by sweeping aside bottom club Sheffield United. Che Adams pounced in the box to poke in the opener, Stuart Armstrong scored a deflected second, and Nathan Redmond came off the bench to add a delightful third. The season is only 12 games old, but Sheffield United's situation is looking increasingly dire. They still have just one point and will be at least six points from safety regardless of Sunday's other results. No team in the Premier League era has had so few points at this stage of the season and gone on to avoid relegation. Liverpool missed the chance to go top of the Premier League despite recovering from a woeful first half against Fulham to salvage a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage. A draw for Premier League leaders Tottenham at Crystal Palace earlier on Sunday had opened the door for Liverpool but they were caught cold by Scott Parker's side, who were roared on by their returning 2,000 supporters and deservedly led through Bobby Decordova-Reid's blast on 25 minutes. Fit-again Alisson kept Liverpool in it during a wretched opening half from the visitors and Jurgen Klopp's side battled back after the break, with Mohamed Salah forcing home a penalty on 79 minutes. Despite having almost 79 per cent of possession in that second half, Liverpool couldn't find a second, though, and are now without a win away from home in five Premier League games. They will have another chance to go top of the table when they face Tottenham at Anfield in a mouth-watering clash on Wednesday. Fulham, meanwhile, can take positives from their performance, although Burnley's win at Arsenal later on Sunday means they drop to 18th. Granit Xhaka was dismissed for violent conduct as a desperately poor Arsenal side were jeered off by their own supporters after being stunned by Premier League strugglers Burnley. The defeat means, Mikel Arteta's side have now lost four straight league games at home for the first time in 61 years. Gunners skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's wretched run of form continued as he failed to score at the right end - and headed an own goal at the other end. Burnley's winner came after Xhaka was dismissed in 58 minutes for grabbing the throat of Clarets midfielder Ashley Westwood - the Swiss midfielder given a red card after referee Graham Scott reviewed the incident on the pitch-side monitor. The Gunners had plenty of attempts at goal but most of them were dealt with comfortably by Nick Pope, a superb reflex save to keep out Alexandre Lacazette's low strike aside. Burnley's victory lifts them out of the relegation zone, a point clear of Fulham, while Arsenal stay in a lowly 15th place. James Maddison scored twice as Leicester produced a relentless first-half display to beat Brighton and climb to third in the Premier League. The 24-year-old struck twice before half-time, his second a sublime, curled finish into the top corner after he had slotted in from Jamie Vardy's blocked shot. Vardy, making a record-equalling 222nd Premier League appearance for the Foxes, scored his side's second from James Justin's low cross. A breathless opening period had included great chances for both sides, as Mat Ryan denied Marc Albrighton inside the first five minutes and Kasper Schmeichel was equal to attempts by Alireza Jahanbakhsh and Danny Welbeck as Brighton threatened on the break. With the points secured before the interval, Brendan Rodgers' side comfortably saw out a much quieter second period to move one point behind Tottenham and Liverpool, after both were held to draws on Sunday. Brighton remain 16th but are now just two points above the relegation places following Fulham's draw against the champions
