Eagles stretch unbeaten home record

- 

Jean-Philippe Mateta scored a hat-trick, including a stoppage-time penalty, but he will still be thinking about the one that got away after Crystal Palace drew 3-3 against Bournemouth. The French striker spurned a glorious chance to win it for the Eagles, firing over from just eight yards out, at the end of a frantic encounter between two inform sides.

Ryan Christie thought he had fired Bournemouth to the top of the Premier League - for a couple of hours at least - after he scored with a minute of normal time remaining. But after Bafode Diakite was adjudged to have fouled Marc Guehi at a corner, Mateta slotted in the penalty to ensure Palace stretched their unbeaten home record to 10 matches.

Sunderland edged to their fourth Premier League win of the season with a 2-0 victory over strugglers Wolves. Nordi Mukiele proved the difference, sending the Black Cats ahead at the Stadium of Light with a low effort that bounced between the legs of goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.

Loum Tchaouna struck a second-half stunner as Burnley beat Leeds 2-0 in the Premier League’s battle between two newly-promoted sides at Turf Moor. French substitute Tchaouna notched his first Burnley goal in spectacular fashion from 30 yards after Lesley Ugochukwu had headed the Clarets into a halftime lead.

Danny Welbeck scored a brace as Brighton recorded a 2-1 victory over Newcastle at the Amex Stadium. Eddie Howe’s visitors looked to have rescued a point their efforts warranted when Nick Woltemade produced a sublime moment of skill to equalise with a devilish back-heel, 14 minutes from time. But Welbeck, whose lovely finish past Nick Pope in the first half gave the Seagulls the lead, won it in the 84th minute as he bent home with precision.
