Sheffield United secured their first win of Chris Wilder's second spell in charge as they held on for a 1-0 victory over Brentford at Bramall Lane.

James McAtee scored the only goal - his first in the Premier League - with a superb long-range strike in first-half stoppage time.

Under-pressure Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper saw his side earn a 1-1 draw at Wolves.

Forest took a 14th-minute lead when Harry Toffolo headed home a Neco Williams cross but the hosts levelled at Molineux when Pablo Sarabia teed up Matheus Cunha just after the half-hour mark.

Simon Adingra equalised as Brighton denied Burnley victory at the Amex Stadium.

The struggling Clarets spent a lot of the first half on the back foot but soaked up the pressure and took the lead just before the break when Wilson Odobert cut inside and curled a shot into the top corner.

The Seagulls hit back in the second half and were finally rewarded for their pressure as Adringa made it 1-1 with a header in the 77th minute

Mohamed Salah scored his 200th Liverpool goal as the title-chasing Reds staged a dramatic fightback against Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday but Manchester United endured a miserable afternoon.

Salah's landmark strike sparked a late fightback from the Merseysiders at Selhurst Park against a Palace side reduced to 10 men that was capped by a stoppage-time Harvey Elliott winner.

United showed little of that battling instinct, however, as they slumped to a 3-0 loss to fast-improving Bournemouth at Old Trafford.

Liverpool were far from their best and trailed to a 57th-minute Jean-Philippe Mateta penalty but their game turned after Jordan Ayew was dismissed for a second bookable offence 15 minutes from time.

Salah replied a minute later - becoming only the second Liverpool player to reach a double-century for the club - and substitute Elliott had the final say.

United manager Erik ten Hag is likely to face further scrutiny after his side failed to perform against the Cherries.

Bournemouth went ahead with just five minutes gone as Dominic Solanke swept in after Lewis Cook had seized possession.

Solanke hit the goal frame before the interval but Philip Billing headed the visitors into a strong position after 68 minutes.

Marcos Senesi put the seal on a famous win with another header five minutes later and the visitors thought they had claimed a late fourth but Dango Ouattara was denied by VAR.
