Bournemouth have missed a penalty against Chelsea in the final Premier League game of the evening.

Robert Sanchez saved Evanilson's (PRON: Evan-eel-son) spot kick to leave it level 0-0 at half time.

Everton once again let a 2 goal lead slip as they fell to a defeat at Aston Villa.

The Toffees were 2-0 up on their hosts at Villa Park before a double from Ollie Watkins and a Jhon Duran goal gave the Villains a 3-2 victory.

That's the second game in a row that Everton have lead by 2 and failed to win.

Earlier, Erling Haaland added another two goals to his tally as Manchester City beat Brentford 2-1 in the Premier League.

He brought his total for the campaign to 9 in 4 games to help the champions come from behind.

Liverpool suffered their first defeat under new manager Arne Slot, losing 1-nil to Nottingham Forest.

Manchester United won 3-0 at 10-man Southampton.
