Everton 2-0 West Ham: Romelu Lukaku and Ross Barkley score in win

Everton ended their four-match Premier League winless run with a 2-0 victory over West Ham at Goodison Park on Sunday.

Romelu Lukaku scored his ninth goal in his last nine matches against the Hammers to put the hosts ahead in the 50th minute.

Ross Barkley doubled the advantage in the 76th minute, finishing from Lukaku's pass to score his first league goal since the opening day of the season.

West Ham, who had won their last three games in a row, rarely threatened after a bright start that saw Pedro Obiang and Manuel Lanzini both go close.

The victory is Everton's first in the league for over a month and moves them five points off top spot.

With Maarten Stekelenburg ruled out, Joel Robles started in goal for Everton, with Ramiro Funes Mori getting the nod ahead of Phil Jagielka in defence.

As he did in the EFL Cup in midweek, Michail Antonio was preferred up front for West Ham, who made the better start to a game that was preceded by tributes to former Toffees player and manager Howard Kendall on the first anniversary of his death.

Romelu Lukaku is the third Everton player to score 50 Premier League goals, after Duncan Ferguson (60) and Tim Cahill (56)

Antonio diverted a cross over the bar before Obiang fired over from inside the box as two defenders slid in to block.

Robles then saved from Dimitri Payet as the visitors continued to look the brighter side.

At the other end, Lukaku failed to control Idrissa Gueye's shot in front of goal as the hosts struggled to get going.

Lanzini curled wide after swerving round Funes Mori before Adrian produced the moment of the half, reacting sharply to superbly stop Barkley's shot with one hand.

That was the closest either side came before the break, but the Hammers' level dropped markedly in the second half.

They fell behind in the 50th minute as Adrian palmed out a shot from Seamus Coleman and Yannick Bolasie reacted quickly to sweep the rebound across goal for Lukaku to head in.

Barkley then curled over the bar from just outside the area as Everton looked to add to their advantage.

West Ham enjoyed prolonged spells of pressure but couldn

They were almost undone by some slack defensive work from Ashley Williams, who lost out to Antonio and was grateful to see Robles save.

But otherwise the visitors hardly threatened and the game was as good as done when Barkley doubled the advantage, finishing at the back post from Bolasie's cross.

Lukaku and Tom Cleverley were both denied by Adrian as Everton finished the game on top and comfortably saw out victory.

Antonio Conte has the snarl of Jose Mourinho but also can smile, says Jamie Redknapp

Antonio Conte has the perfect mix of "snarl and smile" and has found a better balance at Chelsea than Jose Mourinho, according to Jamie Redknapp.

Chelsea made it four Premier League wins in a row and moved to within one point of top spot with a 2-0 win over Southampton at St Mary's on Super Sunday.

The victory moves Conte's men into fourth place on 22 points, just one point off Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool, who are all level on 23.

Chelsea captain Gary Cahill says players like Diego Costa & Eden Hazard make the difference when it matters and believes they are Premier League title cont

The Italian was a bundle of energy on the touchline throughout the game, ordering his team around the pitch and Redknapp believes his personality is getting the best out of his players, who performed so miserably under Mourinho at the start of last season.

"Last season there was too much snarl with Jose Mourinho - all of the time," Redknapp said. "But with Antonio Conte you get the snarl and the smile. It's a nice balance. You wouldn't want to cross him as he's an angry man when he wants to be, but when you're playing well he's your best mate."

Eden Hazard netted for the third league game in succession on six minutes, which put Chelsea in full control, before Diego Costa curled home a sumptuous second to end Southampton's eight-month unbeaten run at home.

Since being dispatched 3-0 by Arsenal and switching to a back three of Gary Cahill, David Luiz and Cesar Azpilicueta, Chelsea have taken maximum points and kept four consecutive clean sheets.

"When you change a system and get results like they are now, especially when they're not conceding goals, the players will buy into everything the manager is doing," Redknapp said.

"The challenge will come when they go a goal behind and when they have to chase a game. At the moment when they go 1-0 up they are so difficult to beat. It's like playing against a brick wall - it's so difficult to break down."

Crystal Palace 2-4 Liverpool: Slick Reds take victory in six-goal thriller

Slick Liverpool kept pace at the top of the Premier League with a thrilling 4-2 victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday evening.

Five of the goals came during a pulsating first half at Selhurst Park, with Emre Can opening the scoring (16) before James McArthur levelled the match within two minutes.

Dejan Lovren headed the Reds back in front four minutes later before midfielder McArthur added his second, heading home just after the half-hour mark.

Joel Matip headed home his first Liverpool goal in the 44th minute and Roberto Firmino added the fourth in the second half to see the visitors go 11 games unbeaten in all competitions.

Crystal Palace have now lost their last three games in the Premier League and remain in 12th place while Liverpool move level on points with Arsenal and Manchester City at the top of the table, Jurgen Klopp's side third only on goal difference.

It took 16 minutes for the game to burst into life. Can was the first to strike after some fantastic Liverpool passing play, with Philippe Coutinho playing in Alberto Moreno on the left of the box. He took one touch to put the ball into the feet of the Germany international who fired home, the shot taking a deflection off Scott Dann on the way.

But two minutes later, McArthur got his first of the game as he took advantage of some shambolic Liverpool defending. Matip headed the ball low into the path of Lovren, but his touch was wild and allowed the Crystal Palace midfielder to nick in, round the oncoming Loris Karius and slot home.

Lovren atoned for his mistake just after the 20-minute mark as he got ahead of Dann as a corner was delivered and headed through the legs of Steven Mandanda before Moreno rifled an effort off the crossbar not long after as the Reds searched for their third.

But Crystal Palace were the next to strike in the 33rd minute to again get themselves level, and McArthur was on target to nab his brace, heading home from a Wilfred Zaha cross on the left-hand side.

Despite the scoreline, Mandanda did well under plenty of Liverpool pressure, pushing a fierce Coutinho strike onto the crossbar before Sadio Mane fired just over the bar from close range.

Joel Matip celebrates his first Liverpool goal with his team-mates

Liverpool went ahead for a third time with just a minute of normal time in the half to play, as Matip nabbed his first Reds goal in style. Coutinho whipped in a cross and the Cameroon international, finding himself completely unmarked, powered a header into the back of the net to end a breathless first half.

It was Crystal Palace who were the better side at the start of a quieter second period, with former Liverpool striker Christian Benteke twice forcing saves from Karius in the opening exchanges.

Roberto Firmino takes the ball past Joe Ledley

Mandanda continued to keep the Eagles within touching distance of a result and made a fine low stop with his feet to keep out a surging Mane before Karius was again called into action to deny Benteke after some great one-two play with Yohan Cabaye.

The hosts had two penalty appeals waved away just after the hour mark as Zaha went down on the edge of the box under pressure from Lovren before Benteke was subject to a clumsy tackle from Matip, but referee Andre Marriner waved away both claims to roars from the home fans.

Philippe Coutinho competes with Joel Ward during the match

Liverpool sealed their victory in the 71st minute and it was the classiest of the six goals. Jordan Henderson picked out Firmino at the top of the box with a sublime through ball, and the Brazil international floated the ball over the oncoming Mandanda to add the Reds' fourth.

It was Jurgen Klopp's men who were in control from then on, as the Crystal Palace goalkeeper made a fine save to twice deny Coutinho and Liverpool saw out the game to go eight matches unbeaten in the Premier League.

Manchester United 0-0 Burnley: Jose Mourinho sent to stands as 10-man United falter

Jose Mourinho was sent to the stands and Ander Herrera saw red as Manchester United were held to a goalless draw by a Tom Heaton-inspired Burnley at Old Trafford

United had 37 shots on goal, but found Heaton in impenetrable form as he made 11 saves.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was the chief profligate for United, missing at least three gilt-edged chances from 12 shots at goal, meaning he has now gone six league games without scoring for the first time since December 2007 with Inter Milan.

Ander Herrera is given his marching orders

United's frustration boiled over as Mourinho was sent to the stand at half time for his angry reaction to United not being awarded a penalty for a tackle on Matteo Darmian, while referee Mark Clattenberg also dismissed Herrera midway through the second half for two bookings.

Jose Mourinho sent to stands at half time of Burnley clash

Mourinho's men are now without a Premier League win in four matches and are eight points off the top spot.

Ibrahimovic set the tone early on with a forceful run, but his strike from 22 yards was gathered by Heaton. That effort was one of seven shots on target during a one-sided half where United's finishing let them down.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche reflects on his sides draw away at Manchester United.

The best of those chances came on 19 minutes when Marcus Rashford slipped Ibrahimovic in behind but his close range effort was blocked away by Heaton.

The former United goalkeeper later turned a Juan Mata effort wide on 24 minutes before making an even better stop three minutes before the break. Lingard's header from a Herrera cross was heading for the top corner until Heaton clawed out the effort with a strong right hand.

Mourinho was left raging on the touchline just before half time when a penalty claim was waved away by referee Mark Clattenburg after Darmian went down following a clash with Burnley substitute Jon Flanagan.

The United boss appeared from the tunnel at half time, but took his seat in the crowd next to the dugout as it emerged that Clattenburg had sent him to the stands at the break. He moved to the Directors' Box midway through the half and was seen passing written messages to one of his coaching staff.

The one-way traffic continued towards Heaton's goal and he showed quick reactions to deny Mata from 15 yards on 54 minutes.

Ibrahimovic flew through the air on 60 minutes to connect with a cross from the right but his scissor-kick was bravely blocked away by a starfish-like Heaton, who said after the game the power of the strike nearly broke his arm.

Even when Heaton was beaten, the woodwork came to Burnley's rescue. Mata struck the outside of the post on 65 minutes before Ibrahimovic looped a header towards goal a minute later, but the ball came bouncing back off the crossbar.

You'd think things couldn't get more frustrating for the hosts, but they were reduced to 10-men three minutes later.

Herrera, who had already been booked for a late tackle on Dean Marney in the first half, slipped on the turf and his motion clattered into Matthew Lowton. Clattenburg was quick on the scene to give the Spaniard his marching orders.

The man advantage usually swings a momentum of a game but the 10-men of United still probed and pressed for the opening goal.

Luke Shaw, Daley Blind and substitute Rooney all curled efforts close with time running out but the final chance fell to Ibrahimovic.

Paul Pogba's cross from the left was perfect and found the 35-year-old unmarked, from no more than three yards. With the goal gaping, he somehow managed to spoon the ball wide

With that miss, Heaton got the clean sheet his performance merited but you could tell from the cheeky smiles from the Burnley players at full time that this was a point courtesy more of luck than judgement.

For United, it was a case of everything but the goal.
