Liverpool v Manchester City LIVE: Result and reaction as leaders ...

Daniel Munoz struck in the 93rd minute to secure a 1-1 draw that lifts Palace out of the relegation zone after a Marc Guehi own-goal had given the visitors the lead against the run of play.

Newcastle appeared to have claimed all three points despite failing to register a single attempt on target and only one shot all afternoon – compared to Palace’s 16. Munoz’s header ruined their celebrations, however.

After an even first half, Spurs went ahead against the run of play at the start of the second period when Brennan Johnson volleyed in for his 10th goal of the season.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazers were called out by hundreds of Manchester United fans as they protested ticket price hikes before Sunday’s Old Trafford clash with Everton.

United supporters and fan groups immediately expressed their fury, and hundreds of fans congregated at the ‘Trinity Statue’ outside Old Trafford on Sunday to let the ownership know their feelings.

Old Trafford has not seen anything like this before.

Pressing from the front is nothing new to these shores – gegenpressing was even added to the Oxford Dictionary two years ago – but for the red half of Manchester, this very much new phenomenon is sweeping through Stretford like wildfire.

The former Leicester boss has consistently played down talk that his team could challenge for a first Premier League crown since 2017, but those protestations were made to look hollow as the Blues turned in their best performance of the season to move level on points with Arsenal.

“We are not ready to compete with Liverpool, Arsenal and (Manchester) City, for many reasons,” Maresca said.

In the 83rd minute, the ball rolled to the feet of Cole Palmer in a bubble of space outside Aston Villa’s box, and the crowd snapped to attention. Little conversations stopped. Heads craned forward in unison. Ah, now this is why we came.

Chelsea are a fun watch this season, full of speed and swagger, all nosed by the erratic offerings of Nicolas Jackson, a man who can finish with the accuracy of a sniper and all the delicacy of a caravan in the space of one afternoon. But there is a reason why the walk down Fulham Road carries such a sense of anticipation these days. Palmer virtually guarantees a handful of moments that take your breath away, one or two of which will probably lead to goals, performing touches and feints often so subtle that you’ll try and fail to describe exactly what he did in the pub afterwards.

Liverpool fans sang, ‘You’re getting sacked in the morning’ at City boss Pep Guardiola, who responded by holding up six fingers in reference to the number of titles he has won with the club, but Carragher said there would be no seventh this term.

Liverpool’s next game is another potentially difficult one, as they travel north to face Newcastle on Wednesday, 4 December (with kick-off at 7.30pm).

City will kick-off against Nottingham Forest at the same time that day.

An early goal from Cody Gakpo was backed up by a second-half penalty from Mohamed Salah with the visitors unable to regularly test Caoimhin Kelleher in the Liverpool goal.
