Premier League Review: Burnley crumble in Saints six-pointer

Goals from Chris Wood and Matej Vydra gave the Clarets a commanding advantage at St. Mary’s, but the hosts fought back to level things up before half-time, before Nathan Redmond struck a winner after the interval.

Sean Dyche’s men are now seven points clear of the relegation zone with eight games to go.

We’ve taken a look back at that game, and some of the other major talking points from this weekend’s action, below:

Chelsea 2-5 West Brom: Big Sam stirs from hibernation

Sam Allardyce is inevitable.

The Premier League’s most fabled firefighter has never been relegated from the top flight, despite taking on some precarious gigs, to put it diplomatically.

For all the world it looked as if West Brom would be the club end Big Sam’s charmed run at the top table of English football, and the likelihood is that they still will be, but Saturday’s pulsating victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge may well have given the Baggies a fighting chance at a great escape.

It was a performance that had all the hallmarks of those galvanising catalysts that have punctuated Allardyce’s career to date, and while the odds are still stacked against them, it would be foolish to write Albion off just yet.

Leeds United 2-1 Sheffield United: Harrison shines in Yorkshire derby

Much of the rhetoric at Elland Road this season has centred around the impact that Patrick Bamford and Raphinha have had on Leeds United’s long-awaited return to the top flight.

The pair have both been in blistering form at times, and put in eye-catching performances again against the Blades, but it was Harrison who ultimately made a couple of crucial contributions.

The winger tapped in from point blank range to give his side an early lead, and might have had a second were it not for a smart save from Aaron Ramsdale.

After the interval, it was Harrison who delivered the wicked cross that forced Phil Jagielka to skew the ball into his own net to hand Leeds all three points, and to keep them in the running for a top-half finish.

As for Sheffield United, if Paul Heckingbottom keeps them up from here they should name all four stands at Bramall Lane after him.

Arsenal 0-3 Liverpool: Things starting to click for disjointed champions

In terms of this season, the horse has long bolted on Liverpool’s title challenge, but there is still plenty to play for at Anfield.

A top four finish is a must for the Reds, and they’re still very much alive and kicking in the Champions League.

What a relief it will be for Jurgen Klopp, therefore, to see his side finally look a little more like their old selves against Arsenal at the weekend.
