Premier League Highlights: Week 23

Premier League Highlights: Week 23

This article is part of our Premier League Highlights series.

Liverpool 5 - Norwich City 4
An incredible back-and-forth battle that saw Norwich blow a 3-1 lead and looked to have at least grabbed a point on Sebastien Bassong's 92nd-minute goal, only for Adam Lallana to score three minutes later to snatch all three points for the Reds. Roberto Firmino led Liverpool with two goals and an assist.

Southampton 1 - Manchester United 0
New signee Charlie Austin came off the bench to open his account for the Saints, as Southampton have posted three consecutive clean sheet victories since the return of Fraser Forster from his long-term knee injury.

Sunderland 1 - Bournemouth 1
Benik Afobe scored for the second consecutive game, but Patrick van Aanholt made it four in four, rescuing a point for the Black Cats.

Tottenham 3 - Crystal Palace 1
Palace's scoreless run ends at five matches, though their only goal came on a Jan Vertonghen own goal, as Dele Alli's wonder goal was joined by scores from Harry Kane and substitute Nacer Chadli, as Spurs went five points clear of Manchester United for fourth in the table.

Leicester City 3 - Stoke City 0
Danny Drinkwater had a goal and an assist for the Foxes and Jamie Vardy's scoreless streak finally came to an end, as Leicester took all three points to move to the summit of the Premier League.

Watford 2 - Newcastle 1
Watford's dreadful run came to an end, as Troy Deeney set up Odion Ighalo for the opener before two centerbacks added the other goals.

Aston Villa 0 - West Brom 0
Villa are now unbeaten in their last three while allowing just one goal over that span, all but solidifying Mark Bunn's spot as their No. 1 keeper.

Manchester City 2 - West Ham 2
Enner Valencia and Sergio Aguero bagged braces as Man City are now unbeaten since Dec. 21.

Swansea 2 - Everton 1
Swansea scored all three goals, gifting Everton one, as they've now taken six points from their last two games to move four points out of the relegation zone.

Chelsea 1 - Arsenal 0
Per Mertesacker was sent off not even 17 minutes in, and Diego Costa netted the winner shortly thereafter to give the Blues two wins over Arsenal this season.
