Overview
- Manchester United beat Crystal Palace 2-1 at Selhurst Park, overturning Jean-Philippe Mateta’s retaken penalty under the new law with goals from Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount.
- Zirkzee ended a 25-match Premier League drought and Mount scored from a Bruno Fernandes free-kick routine, with Amorim saying Fernandes’ late knock was only a kick.
- Tottenham lost 2-1 at home to Fulham after a high-profile Guglielmo Vicario error, marking a fourth home league defeat of the season and a club-record 10th home loss in a calendar year.
- Manchester City edged Leeds 3-2, rescued by Phil Foden’s stoppage-time winner after surrendering a two-goal lead to stay in the chase near the top.
- Darren England has been appointed to referee Liverpool’s visit to West Ham, noteworthy given his role in the 2023 VAR error on Luis Díaz’s disallowed goal, with Arne Slot’s side on a poor run.
