Everton let slip a two-goal lead for a second successive week as Ollie Watkins' brace and a stunning strike from Jhon Duran helped Aston Villa come from behind to earn a 3-2 win.

The Toffees were looking to bounce back from their late collapse to Bournemouth and were two goals in front for the second week running courtesy of efforts from Dwight McNeil and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Villa were staring a second successive home defeat in the face but Watkins struck his first goal of the season to halve the deficit heading into the break.

Everton desperately tried to cling onto their lead in the second half but Watkins grabbed an equaliser with half-an-hour to go before Duran’s stunner from distance snatched the points.

Jean-Philippe Mateta's last-gasp penalty saw Crystal Palace snatch a Premier League point against Leicester in a 2-2 draw at Selhurst Park.

Jamie Vardy sent the Foxes ahead in the 21st minute with a low finish into the bottom corner.

However, an energetic start to the second half saw Stephy Mavididi double Leicester’s advantage seconds after the break with a high finish into the roof of the net, but Palace pulled one back just a minute later when Mateta struck from close range.

The France international then earned his brace from the penalty spot in the second minute of stoppage time to rescue a point.

Danny Ings also put on a late show to rescue a point for West Ham, who drew 1-1 with Fulham.

Raul Jimenez handed Fulham the lead in the 24th minute after tapping home at the near post thanks to a low cross from Emile Smith Rowe.

Substitute Ings then earned a point for the Hammers in the fifth minute of stoppage time.

Ipswich earned a point on the road after their meeting with Brighton finished goalless.

Arijanet Muric was the hero for Ipswich as the goalkeeper made a brilliant double save just before half-time to keep the score level.
