Premier League weekend round-up: Liverpool extend lead at top in final games of 2018

Ashley Barnes' second-half winner clinched Burnley a 2-1 win at 10-man relegation rivals Huddersfield and lifted them out of the bottom three.

Barnes notched his fifth goal of the season after Chris Wood had cancelled out Steve Mounie's first-half opener for Huddersfield, who slumped to a club record eighth straight defeat.

The home side battled bravely despite being a man down for the entire second period following Christopher Schindler's dismissal for two yellow-card offences just before the break.

Burnley also ended with 10 men after substitute Robbie Brady's straight red card for a cynical challenge on Isaac Mbenza in the closing stages. Re-live the action below:

What time does it start?

Player to watch

Johann Gudmundsson: The Icelandic midfielder has been a bright spark for Dyche at times this season with two goals and four assists. His ability at set pieces and his strong crossing makes him a real threat and if Burnley can keep him involved, he’ll create chances.

Form guide

Huddersfield: LLLLLL

Burnley: WLLLWL

Odds

Huddersfield to win: 59/50

Burnley to win: 29/10

Draw: 41/20

Prediction

Huddersfield 2-2 Burnley: I think we could be looking at plenty of goals in this one, with two teams fighting to win what would be a vital three points, especially for Huddersfield. Wagner will know that a loss puts them in serious danger so I feel they’ll come out fighting but in the end only grab a draw

GOAL! Newcastle 0-2 Manchester United (Marcus Rashford, 80 minutes)

Game over.

Romelu Lukaku moves down the right and draws the Newcastle defence to him, squaring for Alexis Sanchez in space on the edge of the box.

The whole defensive unit is shifted towards Lukaku, and Sanchez draws the two defenders on the other side to him, leaving Marcus Rashford completely free on the left.

Rashford is found simply by Sanchez, takes a touch and slots past Martin Dubravka.

​A hard-earned point for Southampton. A disappointing draw for Chelsea. 0-0.

From 2-0 down, West Ham secure a point thanks to two goals from Marko Arnautovic. West Ham 2-2 Brighton.

Two late goals from Crystal Palace are enough to notch a very good away win at Molineux. It finishes 2-0 to the visitors.

A crucial three points for Burnley, with goals from striking duo Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes turning things around after Steve Mounie gave Huddersfield the lead, Christopher Schindler's red card proving costly for David Wagner's side. 2-1.

Newcastle 0-2 Manchester United, 87 minutes

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will make his final alteration, with Jesse Lingard stripped and ready.

Marcus Rashford pulls himself wide out to the left touchline to leave himself as long a walk as possible off the pitch as he is replaced.

​Bournemouth 3-3 Watford, 85 minutes

After six goals in the first half, surprisingly there has been no goal action in the second 45 minutes at the Vitality.

Troy Deeney does have the ball in the net after heading home from Tom Cleverley's cross, but Deeney has fouled Nathan Ake and the goal will not count.

Newcastle 0-2 Manchester United, 90 minutes

Six minutes for Manchester United to see out what would be just their third clean sheet of the season.

Newcastle 0-2 Manchester United, 90 + 3 minutes

A cross into the box bounces around a number of Newcastle and Manchester United players, but the hosts aren't able to make telling contact to get a shot away.

Manchester United then break, and Paul Pogba is able to charge free and round Martin Dubravka. His touch makes the angle tight and he can only bend the ball into the side netting.

Six goals in the first half, none in the second. Honours even at the Vitality Stadium as Bournemouth and Watford take a point apiece.
