Manchester City twice came from behind to win a Premier League classic against Newcastle in their first game since being confirmed as champions.

Pep Guardiola, who surprisingly selected Scott Carson in goal – almost a decade on from his last English top-flight game – saw his City side dominate early on but fall behind to Emil Krafth’s powerful header from Jonjo Shelvey’s corner.

Joao Cancelo equalised with a deflected effort into the bottom right corner and when Torres expertly turned home Ilkay Gundogan’s free-kick 185 seconds later it looked as though the visitors could cut loose.

But Steve Bruce, who called upon his Newcastle side to go toe-to-toe with the champions, will have been delighted by their response.

Having been forced to soak up considerable pressure, they levelled when City defender Nathan Ake was deemed to have fouled Joelinton, allowing the Brazilian to score from the penalty spot.

A poorly judged tackle by City full-back Kyle Walker handed the Magpies a second penalty just after the hour mark, with Joe Willock following-up to score after Carson had saved his initial spot-kick.

However, man of the match Torres had the final word, guiding Gabriel Jesus’ cross into the top right corner and then becoming the youngest player to score a league hat-trick for a Guardiola team, when turning in a Cancelo shot that bounced back off the Newcastle post.

It rounded off a captivating encounter and brought up another milestone for Guardiola’s side, who set a new league record with their 12th consecutive victory away from home.

L­eeds United continued their fine form at the end of their first season back in the Premier League with an impressive victory over Burnley at Turf Moor.

Substitute Rodrigo then scored twice in three minutes to complete a fine away win, producing a delightful chip over Bailey Peacock-Farrell for his first before rounding the Clarets keeper for Leeds’ fourth.

The result means Leeds have lost only once in nine league games and remain on course for a top-half finish – if not a late push for European football.

Burnley confirmed their Premier League safety with victory over Fulham on Monday and had made a promising start, but Charlie Taylor produced an excellent sliding block to deny Raphinha and the Brazilian also attempted an instinctive over-head strike prior to Klich’s opener.

Matej Vydra was thwarted by the outstretched leg of Illan Meslier as Burnley pushed for an equaliser, before the visitors’ dominant end to the contest ensured Burnley remain 15th.

Following the game, Burnley boss Sean Dyche confirmed a report will be passed to the Football Association after an on-field incident involving Dwight McNeil and Ezgjan Alioski.

Ralph Hasenhuttl called Nathan Tella the “biggest talent” at Southampton’s disposal after the striker scored his first senior goal in Saturday’s 3-1 victory over relegated Fulham.

The 21-year-old, who has made only six Saints starts after overcoming a serious knee injury as a teenager, also set up the home side’s third goal with a classy backheel to find Theo Walcott.

“He’s the biggest talent we have at the moment. He had a bad injury and when I see him performing like he does at the moment, I enjoy watching it,” Southampton boss Hasenhuttl told BBC Sport.

“Sometimes he sprints more in 20 minutes than others in 90 minutes. This is an important season for him and we have tried to give him game time.”

Tella’s face was a picture of joy after he steered home Kyle Walker-Peters’ pinpoint low ball across the face of the penalty area to put the game beyond Fulham.

Hasenhuttl added: “It’s a special moment for a young striker. He’s got a smile on his face always, and this is what I really liked from him because he enjoys working for the team, he enjoys playing with us.”

Che Adams had punished poor set-piece defending to sweep Saints ahead with an instinctive half-volley when the Cottagers allowed James Ward-Prowse’s free-kick to bounce in the six-yard box.

Tella’s strike to make it 2-0 was not the only milestone for a young player on show as Fulham teenager Fabio Carvalho drilled in off the crossbar to score on his first Premier League start.

But the 18-year-old’s effort, Fulham’s first goal from open play in more than seven and a half hours, could not prevent Scott Parker’s side slipping to a seventh defeat in eight league games.

Southampton, who move up a place to 13th, sealed victory in the closing stages as Adams and Tella combined to set up Walcott, whose shot looped home via a slight deflection.

Declan Rice described the feeling as “horrible” after West Ham’s Premier League draw at Brighton effectively ended the Londoners’ Champions League hopes.

Liverpool also sit a point above David Moyes’ side and have the benefit of a game in hand.

“We can’t be relying on other teams to lose,” West Ham midfielder Rice told Sky Sports.

“We have to go out and win – we’ve drawn too many and lost a few. It’s obviously horrible because we had the Champions League in our sights.”

Had Said Benrahma not scored a superb late equaliser, the visitors’ evening on the south coast might have ended with a fourth defeat in five games, with Craig Dawson and Tomas Soucek both heading earlier opportunities wide.

And Moyes, who felt their top-four aspirations had already disappeared, is now hoping his side can rouse themselves to earn a place in the Europa League.

“We’re trying to get a place in European football if we can. We’re still in a good place for that. It’s a great thing to say we’re in a good shout with two games to go,” he insisted.

Danny Welbeck had looked likely to give the hosts victory, racing clear in the 84th minute to lift the ball beyond West Ham goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.

Until Welbeck scored his 50th Premier League goal, Alireza Jahanbakhsh had gone closest to breaking the deadlock for the hosts, arrowing an effort wide of the left post with Fabianski stranded off his line.

The Seagulls, who stay 17th, have now dropped 25 points from winning positions in the Premier League this season.

Tyrick Mitchell says it was “like I blanked out” after scoring the first goal of his career to give Crystal Palace a comeback victory over Aston Villa in the Premier League.

In an engrossing encounter that belied its ‘dead rubber’ status, both sides contributed energetic displays full of attacking intent, with Mitchell’s late goal rewarding Palace for a superb second-half showing.

The 21-year-old full-back was in the perfect spot with six minutes left to bundle the ball in with his shoulder following Eberechi Eze’s fluffed cross.

“I couldn’t tell you what I was thinking in that moment but as soon as it went in, it was just joy,” said Mitchell, for whom Sunday’s game was his 23rd for Palace. “It was like I blanked out.

“It is definitely a dream come true for me and my whole family. It’s been a big season for me personally. Every day was hard but all the work has paid off.”

Trailing 2-1 from the 34th minute, Palace battered at the door after the break until the visitors’ resistance was finally broken at Selhurst Park.

With 15 minutes left, Wilfried Zaha produced a driving run before cutting inside and firing a fierce shot that deflected into the net off Villa defender Ahmed Elmohamady, with Mitchell netting soon after.

Palace had already come back into the game once, Christian Benteke heading in against his former club following John McGinn’s well-taken opener.

Anwar El Ghazi lashed in at the back post to restore Villa’s lead – a goal that looked like being the winner until Palace’s late rally.

Villa remain 11th, four points behind 10th-placed Leeds with two games to play, making a Premier League top-half finish unlikely.

Already safe from relegation, the win took Palace to 44 points – with a chance of hitting the 50-point mark for the first time in the Premier League.

On a more positive note for Villa and potentially England, Jack Grealish made a second successive appearance from the bench following injury to provide further evidence of his improving fitness before this summer’s European Championships.

Tottenham boosted their hopes of qualifying for the Europa League with a comfortable Premier League win over Wolves.

Spurs are now five points adrift of a top-four place and leapfrog West Ham into sixth on goal difference, with Everton, who play later on Sunday, three points further back.

It was a deserved victory for the hosts, who hit the woodwork three times after creating a number of excellent chances.

Harry Kane saw an early effort cannon off the left-hand post before setting Spurs on their way, calmly slotting in the opener from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s superb pass on the stroke of half-time.

While Wolves carried a threat on the break they were forced to ride their luck at times, with Kane and Dele Alli both hitting the right-hand post within seconds of each other.

And Hojbjerg unsurprisingly doubled Spurs’ advantage, reacting first after Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio had parried a Gareth Bale effort to slide the ball into the bottom right corner.

Romain Saiss, Adama Traore and Fabio Silva all had good opportunities to reply for the visitors, but not for the first time this season it was a frustrating day in front of goal for Wolves, who remain 12th in the table.

Goalkeeper Alisson scored an incredible injury-time winner as Liverpool claimed a significant victory in their quest to achieve a Premier League top-four finish by coming from behind to beat West Brom.

With three points a must and just seconds left of a game in which the visitors had been frustrated by an obstinate and disciplined Baggies, the Brazilian keeper came up for a corner.

It was surely the Reds’ final chance to snatch the win and so it proved as Alisson rose to glance Trent Alexander-Arnold’s delivery into the far corner of the net to send the away side into delirium.

In an example of extraordinary timing, it is the first occasion in which a goalkeeper has scored a competitive goal for Liverpool in their entire history, dating back to 1892.

The stunning moment takes the Reds just a point and a place behind Chelsea in fourth and three points worse off than third-placed Leicester with two games to go.

That the Blues and Foxes face each other in their next league game gives Jurgen Klopp’s side a huge opportunity to take control of their own destiny in the race for Champions League qualification when they travel to Burnley on Wednesday.

Things had got off to a terrible start for the reigning champions at the Hawthorns with Hal Robson-Kanu capping his first Premier League start since December 2017 with a neat side-foot finish to give West Brom the lead.

A typically incisive Mohamed Salah finish brought the visitors level, with the Egyptian’s low shot inside the far post taking him to 22 goals for the season, level with Harry Kane at the top of the scoring charts.

With Roberto Firmino firing against the woodwork, Sadio Mane seeing a finish ruled out for offside and others profligate in front of goal, it looked as though the Reds had blown their chance.

But Alisson’s big moment keeps them firmly in the hunt.

“I just tried to run into a good place and be there to try and help my players, to bring a defender, but no one followed me and I am lucky and blessed, sometimes things you can’t explain,” Alisson told Sky Sports.

“You can’t explain a lot of things in my life, the only reason is God and he put his hand on my head today and I’m feeling very blessed.”

He also paid an emotional tribute to his late father, who drowned, aged 57, in February.

“I’m too emotional, this last month for everything that has happened with me and my family, but football is my life, I played since I can remember with my father,” he added.

“I hope he was here to see it, I’m sure he is celebrating with God at his side.”

Reds boss Klopp said: “It’s an unbelievable header, I’ve never seen anything like that, good technique. I wasn’t sure what I was seeing.

“We are really close and know exactly what it means to him, it’s outstanding, really touching. It’s only football but it means the world to us.”

Teenager Daniel Jebbison scored on his first Premier League start to give Sheffield United a victory that dented Everton’s hopes of qualifying for Europe.

The 17-year-old forward, who was on loan at National League North side Chorley earlier in the season, slid in from close range after good work by Jack Robinson in the area.

He could have doubled his tally when he seized on a short backpass by Mason Holgate, but saw his effort saved by Jordan Pickford.

At the other end, Aaron Ramsdale pulled off a stunning double save from Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin to preserve Sheffield United’s lead.

Ramsdale was then alert to deny Richarlison again in the second half as the relegated Blades held on for just their second away Premier League away win of the season.

For Everton, a ninth home league defeat of the campaign means they stay eighth and miss the chance to draw level on points with Tottenham and West Ham in the race for European football.

Jebbison offers hope for bright Blades future

The last senior game Jebbison started was for Chorley against Chester in the National League North in December. But despite jumping up six divisions, he did not look out of place here.

He was central to a battling Blades performance that belied their position at the bottom of the table and offered the supporters hope for next season after a troubled campaign.

The Canada-born forward, who represents England at youth level, showed great awareness to peel away from his marker and score in the seventh minute after Robinson had drilled the ball across the six-yard box.

Buoyed by that good start, Sheffield United continued to press Everton high up the pitch and create chances.

John Fleck had a powerful drive punched away by Pickford before the England goalkeeper stood up tall to deny Jebbison after he had pounced on Holgate’s short backpass.

They were equally impressive at the other end, with John Egan typifying their resolute approach with a wonderful slide tackle to deny Calvert-Lewin early in the second half.

When they did break through, Everton found goalkeeper Ramsdale in inspired form.

The England Under-21 international did well to palm away Allan’s shot from the edge of the area before doing superbly to save from Richarlison’s diving header and then stood up quickly to block Calvert-Lewin on the rebound from point-blank range.

The headlines, though, will go to Jebbison. There has been speculation linking him with a move away this summer and this performance will have done little to quell the interest.

If he does remain at Bramall Lane, he could form a key component of the side next season as the Blades plot an immediate return to the Premier League.
