Bournemouth 0-2 Liverpool, Newcastle 1-2 Fulham, and more: football – as it happened | Premier League

Key events

And that’s about it for today’s clockwatch. It’s been another goodie with goals aplenty, some hefty one-sided scores, comeback wins, unlikely wins and, at the end of everything, Mo Salah scoring two goals again and Liverpool winning again.

Thanks for reading and for all your emails and comments. Have a peaceful Saturday evening taking in Wolves v Villa, having a beverage or even venturing on to the rugby. Until next time gang!

A golden day for Silva and his boys, Marco that is, who speaks to the BBC:

A great reaction from us. What a reaction. Very well played in the first 30 minutes of the second half, it’s not easy to do it against Newcastle. I believe that our first half was not so bad to be honest, one moment of individual quality makes all the difference.

Eddie Howe isn’t happy with Newcastle’s performance to lose at home to Fulham:

🗣️ Eddie Howe: “There were similarities to B’mouth & that was painful. We weren’t great athletically & on the ball we were wasteful. Put that together & it’s not a recipe for a great performance. We deserved to lose. The individual & collective levels leave me frustrated”

— Craig Hope (@CraigHope_DM) February 1, 2025

Liverpool’s Alisson Becker was all smiles as he reflected on a hard-fought victory at Bournemouth, speaking to Sky Sports:

It’s a great result that we have here away from home. We showed great desire, mentality and great quality to finish the situations that we created. Bournemouth are really intense. If you look to the data, they are the top of the tale for running, intensity – the way they play, they’re aggressive. You have to be focused and really sharp in every situation.

Some reaction is starting to dribble in, starting with Ipswich coach Kieran McKenna who is indeed in a rueful mood:

It’s an opportunity missed, another home game that we have lost late and we have had too many of those. We had the better of the game, the better of the performance but we didn’t take the win. There’s a lot of football to play and it’s a sore one to take but we need to make sure that we keep performing well. We need to work hard, respond in the right way and try and get stronger.

Southampton’s win at Portman Road means they are just two points off Derby’s record low tally. That’s something for the Saints to cling on to. Ipswich will rue a major opportunity missed today.

The latest in the Golden Boot standings – as one man stands above all others. Is anyone going to catch Mo Salah, or indeed Liverpool, this season?

Your 5.30pm (GMT) game could be a real good’un, a west midlands derby for the ages. Barry Glendenning has dusted himself down after MBM-ing a 7-0 earlier on and is all over it.

Louise Taylor was on Tyneside as Newcastle’s fans were stunned into silence by free-flowing Fulham.

John Brewin ventured to the south coast to see the Mo Salah show.

Andy Hunter watched Everton run all over Leicester.

Our roundup from Germany. It got a little very for both Bayern and Dortmund today, but they both bagged drei Punkte.

Given Liverpool lost at Bournemouth in the 2022/23 season – a low point at the time for Jürgen Klopp and a game in which Mo Salah missed a penalty – and the fact the Cherries have been in such sparkling form, today’s win will taste all the sweeter for Arne Slot. Salah stuck his spot-kick away and followed it with a curling howitzer.

The match reports will soon be dropping from our reporters around the grounds.

Other than Leeds’ 7-0 thumping of Cardiff, it’s been a quiet-ish day in the Championship. Coventry, who won 2-0 at Swansea, are starting to purr under Frank Lampard, Sheffield United stayed second with a hard-fought win at Derby while Burnley fell a little further back thanks to another goalless draw.

Of the bottom nine, only Stoke have won today, a 2-1 comeback victory away at lowly Hull.

There were some dramatic finishes in League One. Birmingham’s comeback win over Rotherham, coupled with Wycombe dropping two points at Cambridge, means the Blues are now four points clear with two games in hand.

Wrexham thought they’d been denied by Crawley only for Elliot Lee to head home a 95th minute winner for the Welsh side, who now sit in third. Fourth are Stockport who clinched a very impressive win away at Leyton Orient. Shrewsbury got a big win over Mansfield to boost their survival chances.

Full time scores in the Premier League

Liverpool go nine points clear at the top; Ivan Juric has his first win as Southampton boss – their second victory of the season – while Everton now have four wins in their past five in all competitions.

Leeds have beaten Cardiff 7-0. A dream day for them at Elland Road, extending their lead at the summit after Burnley were held 0-0 (again) at Portsmouth.

GOAL! Everton 4-0 Leicester (Ndiaye, 90)

Party time at Goodison! Iliman Ndiaye runs in a fourth and it’s all hail King David Moyes.

A very, very bad day for Leicester in their struggle against relegation.

Full time is approaching but the deals are still coming in thick and fast:

Most of these Premier League games, other than the one at Bournemouth, are now into added time. Newcastle and Ipswich are chasing goals to avoid home defeats.

League One: It looks like Steven Schumacher’s Bolton tenure is about to start with a painful defeat, as Reading snatch the lead late on through Harvey Knibbs’ penalty.

Elsewhere, Wrexham have seen their 1-0 lead, clinched so early on, wiped out by Crawley’s Bradley Ibrahim.

Walsall have done it, it’s 2-2 against Salford!

Leeds have a sixth against Cardiff.

And Burnley … still haven’t scored, or conceded, at Portsmouth.

GOAL! Ipswich 1-2 Southampton (Onuachu, 88)

Honey, wake the kids up. Southampton might win an actual Premier League game. Paul Onuachu nets a simple rebound after a Muric parry.

This could be so costly for Ipswich.

An email from Colum Fordham, who is watching Bournemouth 0-2 Liverpool”:

The subs on both sides of the Bournemouth-Liverpool clash are making their presence felt. Tavernier hitting the woodwork and Conor Bradley making driving runs for the Reds. But of course it’s the old hand Mo Salah – I do hope they renew his contract – who really makes the difference. Makes the difficult things look so sublimely simple. Kluivert Jr please take note.

League One: Some big goals have just gone in at the top of the table. Birmingham’s Jay Stansfield now has two goals as the Blues lead Rotherham 2-1 while Wycombe, down to 10 men, have been pegged back by Cambridge – 1-1 there.

GOAL! Newcastle 1-2 Fulham (Muniz, 82)

Fulham had looked so tepid in the first half but they’ve just stormed into an unlikely lead at St James’ Park, as the subs Rodrigo Muniz stuns the Gallowgate End. Goodness.

Bournemouth 0-2 Liverpool: Will there be a twist in the tale here? Bournemouth haven’t stopped trying, that’s for sure. They just keep running into a brick wall, otherwise known as the Liverpool back four.

Scottish Premiership: It’s now 5-0 to Hearts at Dundee, and Hibs lead Aberdeen 2-0. Seems Jimmy Thelin is not the messiah after all. St. Johnstone are 1-0 up at St. Mirren. All of which means Dundee United could go five points clear in third if they win at Kilmarnock later … Simon McMahon

League Two: Walsall are facing a third successive defeat. Salford now lead 2-0 at the Bescot. A major wobble at the top of the fourth tier?

Oh hang on, Danny Johnson has just prodded one back for the Saddlers. It’s 2-1.

GOAL! Bournemouth 0-2 Liverpool (Salah, 75)

Mo Salah doing Mo Salah things! That’s a cracking goal, curled in as he cut in off the right and it’s probably just secured the three points for Liverpool.

What a footballer he is. The Liverpool fans are in raptures.

Championship: Hull were leading 1-0 but Stoke have turned the tables on Humberside with Andrew Moran making it 2-1 – it’s a big game that one, with both clubs hovering above the drop zone.

Liverpool have introduced Darwin Nunez and Conor Bradley, with Cody Gakpo and Trent Alexander-Arnold replaced. It’s been a real battle for the visitors on the south coast this afternoon.

And Marcus Tavernier has rattled the woodwork for Bournemouth! So so close.

If you get a chance to watch Brandon Thomas-Asante’s lob for Coventry at Swansea this afternoon, please do. An outrageous effort and a contender for Championship goal of the season, surely.

Frank Lampard’s side have dominated the Swans so far and are 2-0 to the good.

Leeds got a fourth via Joel Piroe’s penalty and now they have a fifth from substitute Willy Gnonto! 5-0 with 23 minutes left. Damage limitation time for Cardiff.

How may he assist you?

Bournemouth 0-1 Liverpool: Arne Slot wisely removes Mac Allister, who was treading a disciplinary tightrope, with Curtis Jones on instead.

Can the Cherries find a way back here?
