Liverpool reduced the gap at the top of the Premier League table to nine points after a 3-1 win at Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two Andrew Robertson assists helped the Reds take control, with Virgil Van Dijk and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on target in the first half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Patrick Vieira\u2019s side reduced the deficit through Odsonne Edouard at the start of the second period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end it took a string of saves from Alisson Becker to secure the win, with Fabinho adding a contentious penalty late on to wrap up a victory which keeps the title race alive after Manchester City dropped points on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burnley held Arsenal to a goalless draw at the Emirates Stadium on their return to Premier League action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Clarets have seen a host of games postponed and fell to the foot of the table as their rivals were able to fulfil fixtures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent wins for fellow relegation candidates Norwich and Newcastle only heaped pressure on Burnley, but Sean Dyche\u2019s side battled to a hard-fought point against a below-par Arsenal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gunners are still without a win in 2022 as their top-four ambitions continue to falter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Danny Welbeck grabbed a deserved point for Brighton as another Seagulls late show earned a 1-1 draw at Leicester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The substitute levelled with just eight minutes left as the visitors again rescued a game which looked to be slipping away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graham Potter\u2019s side have scored after the 80th minute in five of their last nine games to snatch points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patson Daka had put the Foxes ahead immediately after half-time but they failed to hang on and narrowly avoided another late collapse.<\/p>\n
