Liverpool reclaimed the top spot in the Premier League with a 3-1 win over Burnley, setting a new record league attendance of 59,896 at Anfield. Goals from Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, and Darwin Nunez secured the victory, with Harvey Elliott coming off the bench to assist the latter two. Trent Alexander-Arnold provided an assist before being substituted at half-time due to a knee injury. Newcastle United edged Nottingham Forest 3-2, with Bruno Guimarães netting twice and Anthony Gordon starting despite being previously ruled out. Martin Dubravka made crucial saves to ensure the win. Tottenham Hotspur snatched a late 2-1 victory against Brighton, with Son Heung-min's 96th-minute assist helping Spurs break into the top four. Fulham controlled their match against Bournemouth, leading 2-0 at half-time with a strong left flank performance, and Sunderland overcame a half-time deficit to win 3-1 against Plymouth Argyle, with goals from Pierre Ekwah, Clarke, and Bellingham.

That's that. Newcastle win 3-2. But that does not tell the whole story. So many factors to this game. Forest were both brilliant and frustrating, in different moments. Created some very good chances and could have had more goals, on top of those from Elanga and Hudson Odoi.
Some effort from Gibbs-White, who is encouraged to shoot by #NFFC fans, curling an effort from more than 25 yards just beyond the far post. Krafth replaces Gordon for #NUFC. Looks to have taken his place in midfield, Krafth, but not entirely sure on system now. #NFONEW
Elanga with an electric, driving run, which takes him beyond a couple of players and into the box. But his attempted cut-back is cleared by Newcastle at the vital moment. So close to making something happen there #NFFC
#NUFC now appear to be in a 5-4-1 system. Livramento is left wing-back, Burn left-sided centre-back, then Trippier right wing-back. Burn goes higher than Livramento to receive a Dubravka goal-kick, though, before switching back. #NFONEW
Sustained #NFFC pressure again, as Burn manages to win a header from a set piece then Dubravka flaps at it. #NFFC committing bodies forward, looking for another equaliser. #NFONEW
Tavares does brilliantly to ghost into space on the left side of the box. But his left foot shot is wayward at the near post. Reyna has come on for Yates in the 73rd minute, with #NFFC looking for another goal.
GOAL and Newcastle take the lead for a third time. Guimaraes finds the bottom corner from the edge of the box. Nice finish. Origi has come on for Awoniyi, who was tiring. #NFFC trail 3-2. Can they come back again?
Awoniyi races clear and there is contact with Dubravka. Awoniyi's touch kind of lost him the chance. But the Newcastle keeper dives at his feet and doesn't get the ball. VAR has checked and says no foul #NFFC
Chaos defensively from #NUFC, & all from a #NFFC lofted long ball from Sels. The #NUFC defence try to step up, Awoniyi beats Botman for pace, Dubrabka doesn't know whether to come or go, he stays, Botman gets back, slides, puts Awoniyi off, he goes down. VAR checking pen.…
59mins: #NUFC sub - Almiron is replaced by Harvey Barnes. Gordon has come out to to the right, with Barnes on to the left. #NFONEW #NFFC
#NUFC try to attack from a #NFFC corner as Longstaff sends Wilson through the middle but a #NFFC defender sticks his foot out to thwart it. Wilson is cutting a frustrated figure at times. Botman & Gibbs-White have just had a bit of handbags, pushing one another. #NFONEW
Opening for #NUFC, as Trippier is played in on the right-hand side of the box, he floats a cross towards the back post, but it is just over a late-arriving Miguel Almiron, who cannot meet it with his head. #NFONEW #NFFC
Awoniyi has the ball in the net... but he was offside. The atmosphere is properly rocking here again tonight. #NFFC
#NUFC's highline does well to step up & play Awoniyi well offside before he puts the ball beyond Dubravka from a tight angle & it's rightly disallowed for offside. #NFONEW

Schar walks off the field gingerly, after his team-mates. Another potential injury concern for #NUFC. #NFONEW #NFFC
#NFFC 2-2 #NUFC Hudson-Odoi plays a pass-&-receive off Dominguez, then whips a right-footed shot from the edge of the area, which deflects off Miley & goes into the net at Dubravka's near post. Schar had turned his ankle earlier, then given the ball away soon after. #NFONEW
GOAL. Schar puts Newcastle in front for a second time. Burn headed the ball into the danger zone. Schar was arriving to fire home. Newcastle have struck twice from set-pieces here #NFFC
#NFFC 1-2 #NUFFC What a magnificent finish from Fabian Schar. Trippier floats a dee free-kick towards the box, Schar & Burn compete for it, neither meets it, Botman heads it to the right, then Schar arrives to lash a half-volley beyond Sels. #NFONEW
Jürgen Klopp has confirmed Trent Alexander-Arnold was withdrawn at half-time of #LFC's 3-1 win over Burnley due to injury.
Big defensive header behind for a corner from Schar after Guimaraes is robbed inside the #NFFC half, Hudson-Odoi skips beyond Longstaff & sprints at the #NUFC defence, then Elanga crosses from the right. #NFONEW
#NFFC are having a sustained spell of pressure at the moment, without really getting shots away on Dubravka's goal. #NUFC have made a couple of panicked clearances & Niakhate is bombarding their box with a series of long throws. #NFONEW
Harvey Elliott was delighted to be a difference-maker again as the Reds ‘dug deep’ to overcome Burnley 3-1 at Anfield 🔴
Murillo is down and needing treatment. He picked up a knock from a Newcastle corner a few minutes ago. But he's down now #NFFC
Elanga finds space on the right to cut the ball back across the penalty area, towards the feet of MGW. He tries an audacious flick, which did not quite come off. Almost brilliant #NFFC
"Mixed feelings of joy and relief" 🥲 Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou reacts to his sides late 2-1 victory over Brighton 🙌 https://t.co/7lottRHEy0

Taiwo Awoniyi looked to have been brought down as he turned Schar. Referee Anthony Taylor not having it. That's the second similar incident where Awoniyi felt he should have had a free-kick, which didn't come #NFFC
Sonny to the rescue 💥 A 96th-minute winning assist on his return for Spurs. #TOTBHA https://t.co/kQHVE2Udnr
BIG chance... Elanga breaks clear down the right side and rampages all the way into the box... but Dubravka makes himself big to save at the winger's feet # NFFC That's two really good chances Forest have created... and not made the most of.
Big save from Dubravka to thwart Elanga, who is sent in behind Burn for the first time one on one. Dubravka comes out, sticks out his right leg & blocks Elanga's low finish. First time #NUFC caught out down that flank. #NFONEW

GOAL... and what initially looked like being a sloppy short-corner, ends in a fine finish from Guimaraes, who guides the ball home at the far post, emphatically #NFFC
Sels has to make his first save, as Longstaff angles a shot across goal, towards the far post. It bounced awkwardly in front of the keeper, who guides it out for a corner #NFFC
Sean Longstaff picks up the ball on the edge of the centre circle, advances into space & takes a shot from 20-or-so yards, which bounces in front of Sels, & he tips it wide for a #NUFC corner. #NFONEW
⚫️⚪️ @raisbeck10 and John Anderson are live now on BBC Sounds 👊 #NUFC | #NFONEW | #BBCFootball
Gibbs-White has a huge chance for #NFFC. Awoniyi beats Schar on halfway, eventually #NFFC through Tavares have the ball on the left touchline, it is pulled back to Gibbs-White who, unmarked, sidefoots wide of the right-hand post. #NFONEW #NUFC
CHANCE... a rapid counter attack from Forest ends with MGW lashing a first-time shot a foot or two the wrong side of the post. Promising. #NFFC

🔴⚪️ 3 points in the bag 🙌 Despite being 1-0 down at half time, goals from Ekwah and Clarke put the Black Cats ahead. Then two minutes after coming on, Jobe made it three. #SAFC | #SUNPLY | #BBCFootball
Header from a free-kick forces Meslier to tip the effort round the post. Good save. #lufc
Rutter header, hanging in the air under a Roberts cross. Saved by Johansson. 3-0 on 87 mins. #lufc
What a header from Darwin Nunez for Liverpool's third goal 🎯 #BBCFootball https://t.co/KMogARad98
First time we've seen Broja into the game after a lot of Bournemouth pressure, Diop goes direct and Broja bursts in behind on the right side -- goes wide and wins a corner. #FFC
Trent Alexander-Arnold assisted Liverpool's first goal. He was subbed off at halftime for Harvey Elliott. Elliott assisted Liverpool's next two 🤝 https://t.co/RNjm1AGvqW
Fulham have dropped deep, pushed back by Bournemouth who are seeing all of the play at the moment. Fulham struggling to find a pressure reliever. #FFC #FULBOU
81' - Another substitution for the Reds 🔴 [3-1] 🟡 | #LIVBUR https://t.co/FUKGk7UJoL
Bournemouth again go close from a corner, the ball flies over the bar I think off Solanke. The visitors have seen much of the play this half, trying to find a way back into the game. 15 to play. #FFC
79' - A brilliant ball by Harvey Elliott is heading in by Darwin Nunez to make it three! 🔴 [3-1] 🟡 | #LIVBUR https://t.co/6COOAqi0R3

Christie fizzes a cross into the six yard area and Solanke goes down under a challenge from Ream, who clears. No foul given. Solanke making his presence felt, Fulham not retaining the ball enough this half. #FFC
The bravery from Luis Diaz 👏 Liverpool are back in front 👀 #BBCFootball https://t.co/R4JhenSUdZ
Solanke attempts a bicycle kick from the edge of the box, deflects and loops just over. Bournemouth pushing, and continuing to cause problems from corners, dropping them into the six yard box. #FFC do look vulnerable.
GOAL 2-0 #LCFC and fantastic break out from the back, quick passing and Ricardo in the clear, plays a great one-two with Fatawu and finishes. That was incisive, fast football.
Instant response. Willian with the cross, Muniz ghosts away to the back post unmarked and volleys it into the net. Muniz is finding his feet... #FULBOU
Rutter's slaloming, out of midfield. Keeps his balance brilliantly under a couple of challenges, slips a pass into Summerville who draws the keeper and prods a finish across him. 2-0 on 54 mins. #lufc
Anthony Gordon & Jamaal Lascelles have travelled down to #NFFC with the #NUFC squad. Eddie Howe had ruled Gordon out of the game yesterday... #NFONEW https://t.co/5SWgGh47bw
Tavernier's corner to the back post, Solanke nods it down to Senesi who takes a superb first touch before swiveling and striking into the net. 2-1, and worst possible start to half for #FFC.
52' - A smart finish by Luis Diaz gets us back in front. Well in! 🔴 [2-1] 🟡 | #LIVBUR https://t.co/VU8CI1oEBH
CROSSBAR: Gnonto into Summerville whose pass takes time to fall for Bamford. Shot takes a deflection and then smashes against the bar. Gnonto then volleys as good a chance over from six yards. 1-0 on 50 mins. #lufc
Luis Diaz regains Liverpool's lead. 2-1 to the Mighty Reds!
Bloody hell...pass from Meslier to Kamara, Kamara prods it back to him and doesn't go far off sticking it in his own net. Meslier gets there just in time to get a toe on it. 1-0 on 48 mins. #lufc
Anthony Gordon has travelled with the #NUFC squad to #NFFC, as has Jamaal Lascelles. Eddie Howe said yesterday his injury was "not serious" but he wouldn't make today's game... #NFONEW
Despite the obvious need for a 'proper' No.9, Wolves haven't actually missed one often this season. But I thought they did in the second half with the lack of space for Neto and Co to run into. Big chance for Fraser. Wolves now 4-2-3-1. #WWFC https://t.co/cFp1jBJIkJ
46' - Back underway for the second half 👊 One change for the Reds at the break as Harvey replaces Trent. 🔴 [1-1] 🟡 | #LIVBUR
A new league record attendance at Anfield today 🏟️👏 https://t.co/LS899ZaJ2l
Fulham's left flank has been really dominant. Robinson’s running is a great outlet as usual but those combinations between Cairney and Willian 🤌
HT. Fulham 2-0 up and in control. Cairney and Willian have been superb in midfield and then there’s been some cutting edge in the box. Not often said that. Now to make sure the lead holds, and a good 45 turns into a good 90. #FULBOU
New record league attendance at Anfield today - 59,896 https://t.co/tVmoTaBiEh
This is Farke's point about clinical finishing. Well on top and should be much further down the road to putting the game to bed. Rotherham have offered nothing but still in it at 1-0. #lufc
Willian sends Robinson in behind, from an angle, but Neto blocks his shot. Followed another break away where Cairney and Willian conspired to #FFC storming up the field. Seven mins added to a strong half for the hosts.
Gnonto with a good effort towards the far corner, been a busy half for Johansson who makes a really good save to tip it wide. 1-0 on 43 mins. #lufc
45' - Goal. Burnley. 🔴 [1-1] 🟡 | #LIVBUR
Almost an equaliser as Sarabia is freed on the left and his cross finds Neto, whose far-post header is just about clawed out by Flekken. #WWFC https://t.co/jJ4rDwyymV
Elland Road thinks it's a penalty as Revan crunches Gnonto - but the ref is pointing for a goal kick. Definite foul but was outside the box. 1-0 on 38 mins. #lufc
Trent Alexander-Arnold's assist for Diogo Jota was his 58th in the Premier League. No other defender has more ☎️ https://t.co/l7cwytIuj4
Chance for Bournemouth. Tavernier manages to get a shot off inside the box, but he snatches at it and it runs across Leno's goal. 39' gone. #FULBOU
The boy from Brazil strikes again! Lovely delivery from Willian, another move crafted off this left-side, De Cordova-Reid with a superb cushioned header and Muniz pounces, and gets his toe on it before Neto. 2-0! #FULBOU
Long ball over the top finds the run of Bamford, a good touch and he's in but it's heavy and Johansson intervenes. 1-0 on 34 mins. #lufc
31' - Perfect delivery from Trent is headed in by Diogo Jota to give us the lead. GET IN! 🔴 [1-0] 🟡 | #LIVBUR https://t.co/biyqWCW9TL
Sinisterra cuts inside off the Bournemouth left and stings the palms of Leno. Solanke then has a terrific chance from the corner. It's swung in with real venom by Scott, and Solanke is almost under the cross bar but can't keep his shot down. #FULBOU
Rutter now, takes down a high ball beautifully but his next touch gets away from just as he was shaping to shoot past Johansson. 1-0 on 27 mins. #lufc
Massssive chance - Summerville blazes over the bar from 12 yards out after Firpo pinches possession and leaves Rotherham exposed. Normally buries those without thinking. 1-0 on 26 mins. #lufc
Neto with another good stop. This time after a Robinson cross is diverted goalwards by a Bournemouth defender, I think it was Zebarnyi, but the keeper blocks. He's hurt himself in the process. Followed another good move from #FFC.
Sustained pressure from Leeds. Rutter slaloms/mazes/surges and drills a left-footed shot over the bar. Not a mile away. 1-0 on 24 mins. #lufc
Richarlison clean through, denied by Steele, 0-1. #BHAFC #TOTBHA

Terrific save by Bournemouth's Neto. Willian in full flow, plays a clever one-two with Tom Cairney, he's in behind and tries to put it into the corner but Neto somehow gets a hand on it. #FFC
Under way. Fulham in 433 as usual, Bournemouth similar, with Scott playing off Solanke. He has a great record against Fulham, scored in each of his last five league appearances in this fixture. #FFC

All the talk has been about Broja but Muniz did step up when he needed to last week, so he deserves to keep the shirt. A few more attacking options on the bench this week, with Wilson and Adama back. Will we see the latter? Only played around 40 mins for #FFC so far...
#FFC: Leno; Castagne, Diop, Ream, Robinson; Palhinha, Cairney, Andreas; Willian, De Cordova-Reid, Muniz. Subs: Rodak, Reed, Wilson, Adama, Broja, Ballo-Toure, Lukic, De Fougerolles, King.
Rodrigo Muniz keeps his place for #FFC after his goalscoring performance last weekend. Two changes, with Tom Cairney coming in for Harrison Reed and Issa Diop returning from injury to start, Tosin is not involved. #FULBOU
