Premier League Roundup: Everton salvages draw with Tottenham in stoppage time

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Defender Jarrad Branthwaite headed home a stoppage-time equalizer as Everton salvaged a 2-2 draw with Tottenham in the Premier League on Saturday after Richarlison had scored twice against his former team.

Richarlison looked to have boosted Tottenham's push for a top-four finish by taking his tally to nine goals in his last eight league games. But Branthwaite was on hand at the far post to nod home a deflected free kick in the fourth minute of added time for his first goal of the season.

It ruined a perfect return to Goodison Park for Richarlison, who spent five seasons at Everton before joining Tottenham in 2022. The Brazil striker didn't celebrate either of his goals — instead pulling his shirt up to hide his face.

After a tough start to the season, Richarlison has found his scoring form recently and put the visitors ahead twice in the first half. He first turned in a cross from Destiny Udogie after just four minutes, and then bent a first-time strike into the far corner from outside the area in the 41st after he was teed up by James Maddison.

But Everton came back both times, with Jack Harrison being credited for the first equalizer after Dominic Calvert-Lewin's close-range header came off his leg on the way into the net in the 30th.

The stoppage-time equalizer came when a free kick into the box was headed on by Tottenham defender Cristian Romero, but only into the path of Branthwaite who had a simple header from a yard out.

The draw means Tottenham is two points behind third-place Arsenal and could be leapfrogged by Aston Villa if Unai Emery's team beats Sheffield United later Saturday.

Spurs and Villa entered the day tied on points and goal difference as they vie for a top-four spot.

Newcastle 4, Luton 4

In Newcastle, the hosts came back from two goals down in the second half to secure a wild 4-4 draw against relegation-threatened Luton in an end-to-end game, with Harvey Barnes marking his return from a long injury layoff by netting the equalizer.

Newcastle led twice in the first half thanks to a brace by Sean Longstaff but then needed goals from Kieran Trippier and Barnes — who came on for his first appearance since September — to rescue a point after the visitors had taken control early in the second half.

The score had been 2-2 at the break, with Luton twice cancelling out Longstaff's goals thanks to replies from Gabriel Osho and Ross Barkley.

Carlton Morris then put Luton ahead from the penalty spot — having to take his spot kick twice after not waiting for the referee's signal — and Elijah Adebayo doubled the lead just three minutes later.

Barnes then came off the bench, and after Trippier had given Newcastle hope, he smashed home a left-foot drive in the 73rd to equalize.

Newcastle pushed for a winner through 10 minutes of stoppage time, but the visitors stood firm to earn a draw that keeps them one point above the relegation zone.

The Magpies went ahead after just seven minutes when 17-year-old Lewis Miley sprayed the ball out to Trippier, who looked up before picking out the fast-arriving Longstaff and watched as he fired past keeper Thomas Kaminski.

Luton levelled in the 21st when Morris turned Barkley’s free kick back across goal and Osho headed past keeper Martin Dubravka off the underside of the crossbar. But Newcastle was back in front just two minutes later after Kaminski could only parry Anthony Gordon’s shot, and Longstaff controlled the rebound and drilled into the back of the net.

Five minutes before the break, Barkley set Alfie Doughty away down the left before making his way into the penalty area to fire into an empty net to make it 2-2 after Dubravka had turned the wide-man’s cross into his path.

Luton's penalty came in the 59th after a lengthy VAR review, and Morris scored from the spot at the second time of asking having initially beaten Dubravka before the whistle had gone.

The Hatters looked headed for a massive win three minutes later when Barkley slid the ball into the path of Adebayo, who beat Dubravka emphatically to make it 4-2.

But Eddie Howe's side reduced the deficit with 23 minutes to go when Trippier volleyed Bruno Guimaraes’ cross past Kaminski, and the final equalizer came when Miley robbed Barkley and fed Barnes, who steered a left-foot drive into the bottom corner to level.

Burnley 2, Fulham 2

In Burnley, substitute David Datro Fofana marked his home debut with two goals as his stoppage-time equalizer earned the hosts a Premier League point in a 2-2 draw with Fulham.

Fulham, without an away victory since the opening day of the season, appeared to be cruising after goals from Joao Palhinha and Rodrigo Muniz saw the Cottagers lead 2-0 inside 21 minutes.

But on-loan Chelsea striker Fofana, on as a substitute just after the hour, got Fulham back into the game with a 71st-minute header before bundling in the leveler in the first minute of stoppage time — equaling in 20 minutes his number of league goals for Union Berlin in 17 games during a previous loan this season.

Vincent Kompany’s team remains seven points adrift of safety, but this ended a run of 19 Premier League games in which Burnley had lost after conceding first, and the mood inside Turf Moor improved dramatically after Fofana’s late intervention.

Kompany gave a debut to Lorenz Assignon, who arrived on loan from Rennes on deadline day, but the right back needlessly conceded a 17th-minute corner. The mistake was instantly punished as Andreas Pereira whipped the ball in and Palhinha turned it goalward, with his header beating James Trafford with the help of a deflection off Sander Berge.

It got worse four minutes later when Antonee Robinson’s long punt up field turned into the perfect ball for Muniz to score his first Premier League goal. The 22-year-old Brazilian was played onside by Vitinho as he got goalside of Hjalmar Ekdal, running at Trafford before lifting the ball over the exposed goalkeeper.

Brighton 4, Crystal Palace 1

In Brighton, the pressure increased on Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson after his team slumped to a dispiriting 4-1 loss at its fierce rival.

Goals from Lewis Dunk, Jack Hinshelwood, Facundo Buonanotte and Joao Pedro made it a comfortable afternoon for the hosts, with the frustrated visiting fans again protesting the club's leadership and many of them leaving before the final whistle.

Palace was the Premier League's biggest spender in the January transfer window with an outlay of more than 30 million pounds ($38 million), but it didn't pay immediate dividends despite newcomer Daniel Munoz starting at right-back and deadline-day signing Adam Wharton coming off the bench after just 28 minutes.

The 76-year-old Hodgson is without Eberechi Eze through injury while his other key man, Michael Olise, came off the bench at halftime when Palace was already 3-0 down and only lasted eight minutes before pulling up.

A late goal from Jean-Philippe Mateta did little to mask Palace's problems, which are only made worse captain Marc Guehi had to come off with a first-half knee injury.

Brighton was coming off a surprising 4-0 drubbing at Luton in midweek, but Dunk headed in the opener in the third minute.

The 18-year-old Hinshelwood headed home a cross in the 33rd, and it was 3-0 just 86 seconds later after Wharton was dispossessed by Pascal Gross, who strolled forward before slipping in Buonanotte to score.

A brief, belated Palace flurry saw Mateta head in a cross in the 71st, but any hopes of a comeback were dashed when Pedro played a one-two with Danny Welbeck and slotted home to finish the Eagles off.

Brighton climbed above Manchester United on goal difference into seventh place, while Palace is 14th, five points above the relegation zone.
