Crystal Palace 1-3 Liverpool, Sunderland 1-0 Chelsea, and more: Premier League – as it happened
Sunderland beat Chelsea to move off the foot of the table, Brighton beat Brentford to go second, while Liverpool are fourth after beating Crystal PalaceA disastrous goal for Ipswich! Chris Walton, the home side’s keeper, tries to take the ball past the onrushing Evanilson, fails, is dispossessed, and the rest is a formality!A glimpse of goal for Palace, as Mitchell’s driven cross is met by Strand Larsen, but he can’t do much more than get a foot to it, and he deflects it limply wide of goal, from where it’s cleared for a throw-in.

“Doesn’t Have Any Respect Or Awareness”- Sheldon Creed Torches Lapped Rival for Ruining His Championship Finale

Diego Gómez hits another stunner as Brighton beat 10-man Brentford to go second
Who can stop Brighton’s ascension in English and European football? They continue to set standards, practices that leave almost everybody else trailing in their wake. Their second-place position in the Premier League would once have read like a glitch in a Football Manager session.Come November 2026, they appear the only team capable of throwing down a challenge to Arsenal. Under low winter sun, Brentford, the club Brighton are often compared to, though one with a different outlook, were readily swatted aside. If Keith Andrews’ team, and their fans at the Amex, might level blame at a couple of refereeing decisions, it was a contest they were given little chance of rescuing anything from.

Le Fée’s penalty stuns Chelsea and breathes life into defiant Sunderland
A lot can change in five-and-half months, but as an early winter chill descended on Wearside this week – both meteorologically and metaphorically – Sunderland were determined that some things should remain the same.Just as they had beaten Chelsea on the final day of last season in May to ensure European qualification for the first time in 53 years, they did so again on Sunday to lift themselves off the bottom of the Premier League. The real triumph was that a patched-up defence, without the injured Dan Ballard and the banned Omar Alderete, kept Chelsea at enough distance to allow Robin Roefs a tranquil afternoon. Chelsea may be developing into a chaotic must-watch under Xabi Alonso but they were subdued here, and fall out of the top four. Continue reading...
Wirtz provides quality to seal Liverpool win over lacklustre Crystal Palace
It was the moment when Liverpool knew they would win here in south London and so move on from the Premier League loss to Arsenal at Anfield last Sunday and the one in midweek at Fenerbahce in the Champions League.Florian Wirtz had timed his run as Liverpool broke up the right and Bradley Barcola’s low pull back was made to measure. Wirtz had to take it on first time and it was a test of his technique under pressure. He never looked like failing it, not least because smoothness in this area is his calling card. Liverpool were 2-0 up, Alexis Mac Allister having headed them in front towards the end of the first-half, and all you could hear was the eruption of delight in the away supporters’ enclosure.

Russo on target again as double fires under-pressure Arsenal to vital WSL win at Liverpool
Alessia Russo scored twice at Anfield to provide the under-pressure Arsenal head coach, Renée Slegers, with some brief respite but it was another unconvincing display from the north Londoners despite their much-needed 2-1 victory.The in-form Russo’s double took her recent tally to seven goals in her past four appearances and 10 in her past seven games for club and country, but Liverpool posed plenty of problems for the visitors and were unhappy about a disallowed goal.

Kangaroos beat Toa Samoa 44-12 at Sydney’s Allianz StadiumNew Zealand await Australia in next weekend’s men’s final This was supposed to be Samoa’s chance to challenge the wilting Kangaroos, whose patchy recent performance made them appear vulnerable – to make up for the loss in the last World Cup final, when Australia kept Toa Samoa scoreless for much of that defeat at Old Trafford.So when the famed Siva Tau, Samoa’s pre-match ritual, brought the Samoans and the Australians close enough to kiss, the anticipation for this semi-final could not have been higher; the match seemed almost certain to explode.
