Liverpool 2-2 Fulham, Arsenal 0-0 Everton: Premier League clockwatch – as it happened | Premier League

That’s that for today’s Clockwatch. Thanks for reading. But the action isn’t over, so get yourself across to the Forest-Villa MBM. John Brewin’s waiting for you.

Liverpool 2-2 Fulham. Andy Hunter was at Anfield as Fulham came close to imposing a second defeat of the season on the league leaders.

Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-2 Ipswich Town. Ben Fisher saw Ipswich snatch the points late as Wolves descended into civil war.

Newcastle United 4-0 Leicester City. Louise Taylor witnessed the abrupt end of the Ruud van Nistelrooy honeymoon.

Arsenal 0-0 Everton. Jonathan Wilson was at the Emirates to watch Arsenal toil against resolute opponents.

Post-match postbag. Liverpool and Arsenal both drop points, but it would seem fans of the former are happier than those of the latter. Meanwhile war is over in Scotland’s Clockwatch Pals derby.

“How impressive is Antonee Robinson? In successive games, he’s kept Bukayo Saka and Mo Salah quiet. And then he chips in with his offensive threat, creating the Muniz goal” – Tim Pearson

“Some draws feel like losing, like the Newcastle match. Some draws feel like winning, like this one. The Liverpool first-team players look like they need a few days off to recharge their batteries from this brutal schedule. The willpower is still there, they still don’t give in. That’s champions’ mettle” – Rupak Pramanik

“Two straight weekends that Arsenal had the opportunity to make up ground and failed to do so. It feels more over today than it did when Liverpool opened up a nine-point lead” – Sean Orlowicz

“With their sterile domination, it was more autoclave than Arsenal. Dearie me. Half expect to see Bacary Sagna labouring on that right flank” – Grant Tennille

“A spectacular result for Everton. Getting a point on the road against the number-two team in the Premier League. Dull football? Yes. Glorious result? Absolutely” – Mary Waltz

“Motherwell win 4-3 after a absolute nail-biter. Commiserations, the McMahons, that was bloody close. Now for a pint to try and settle my single remaining nerve” – James Humphries

Just four 3pm kick-offs in the Premier League, yet a significant day of results. Liverpool, held at home by Fulham, could have their lead cut to just two points tomorrow evening, when Chelsea welcome Brentford to Stamford Bridge. Manchester City will look to move closer tomorrow as well, as they take on neighbours United. Liverpool have the consolation of salvaging a point despite playing most of their game with ten men and falling behind twice, and Arsenal failing to take advantage by battering impotently on a very sturdy and well-padlocked Everton door. Meanwhile at the bottom, Gary O’Neil’s coat hangs on a very shoogly peg as they lose the big relegation showdown with Ipswich.

• Hibernian 3-1 Ross County

• Motherwell 4-3 Dundee United

• St Johnstone 2-3 St Mirren

… and there’s a scoreline that resonates in there, all right.

• Blackburn Rovers 2-0 Luton Town

• Bristol City 1-1 Queens Park Rangers

• Coventry City 2-1 Hull City

• Middlesbrough 1-0 Millwall

• Oxford United 1-3 Sheffield Wednesday

• Preston North End 1-1 Leeds United

• Sheffield United 2-0 Plymouth Argyle

• Stoke City 2-2 Cardiff City

• Swansea City 2-3 Sunderland

Fulham took points off Arsenal last weekend; they’ve taken points off Liverpool this week. They’ll rarely have been more popular round Chelsea way.

Liverpool 2-2 Fulham. Big chances for Adama Traore and Diogo Jota. Time running out. Is there to be more drama?

Liverpool 2-2 Fulham. It’s still going at Anfield, where nine minutes of extra time have been tacked onto this end-to-end game. Both teams hell-bent for a winner.

A huge smile on Kieran McKenna’s face. Not so on Rayan Aït-Nouri’s. He is livid and wants a square go with a spectator, who has run onto the pitch and given him the what-for. He’s held back by four members of the Wolves staff before being carried away from the situation by the biggest of them in the nightclub-bouncer style. Probably for the best.

Jack Taylor looks to have grabbed all three points for the Tractor Boys!

Easy for the hosts. A difficult day for second-half sub goalie Danny Ward.

A defensive masterclass and huge point for Everton, who frustrate their old boy Mikel Arteta. A big opportunity for Arsenal to close the gap on Liverpool has been spurned.

Arsenal 0-0 Everton. A big injury-time penalty shout as Thomas Partey goes down in the environs of Vitalii Mykolenko, but neither referee nor VAR shows any interest in awarding it.

Diogo Jota is back from injury … and gives Bernd Leno the eyes to equalise. Some game at Anfield.

Wolves 1-1 Ipswich. Matheus Cunha bustles into space down the left but shoots straight at Arijanet Muric, who makes up for his earlier error.

Liverpool 1-2 Fulham. Harvey Elliott looks to plant one into the top corner but it’s inches off target. The hosts and league leaders desperately piling forward.

Rodrigo Muniz bundles home Antonee Robinson’s cross, and Fulham are ahead again! Following the draw at Newcastle, Arne Slot heads into the first serious blip of his reign.

Arsenal 0-0 Everton. The hosts continue to pour forward. Jordan Pickford is booked for time-wasting.

More poor goalkeeping by Arijanet Muric, who fails to deal with Matheus Cunha’s shot at his near post.

Liverpool 1-1 Fulham. … so having said that, Liverpool break from a Fulham corner. Mohamed Salah is sent through on goal, but bumbles his shot past the post.

Liverpool 1-1 Fulham. The visitors seem to have drawn Liverpool’s early second-half sting, and are now threatening to retake the lead. A couple of promising positions for Harry Wilson, but nothing comes of them.

Arsenal 0-0 Everton. Mikel Arteta rolls the dice at the Emirates, removing a couple of big names in Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard, and sending on Ethan Nwaneri and Jorginho.

A second for Jacob Murphy, and the Ruud van Nistelrooy new-manager bounce is officially over.

Arsenal 0-0 Everton. The second half starts as the first half finished, with Jordan Pickford making a stand against relentless Arsenal pressure. The latest a save from Bukayo Saka. We’re surely in matter-of-time territory.

The ten-man hosts are back in the game at Anfield, Cody Gakpo converting Mohamed Salah’s cross at close range.

Oh Danny.

Leicester changed goalkeepers during the break, Danny Ward coming on on for Mads Hermansen. It’s not taken long for Ward to be called into action, by way of picking the ball out of his net. Bruno Guimares with the header.

Half-time postbag. Dominated today by the big Clockwatch Pals derby in Scotland.

“So, as I was saying, with Dundee United’s excellent defensive record, what could possibly go wrong? Well, maybe conceding in the first minute, then ending up 3-1 down at half-time? I was drunk on optimism an hour ago, getting drunk on whisky is simpler” – Simon McMahon

“Some game this at Fir Park. The mighty Motherwell up 3-1 at the stroke of half time, and if there’s not more goals in it I’ll eat my scarf. Mon the Well!” – James Humphries

“If the game at the Emirates carries on like this, then I would like to see Sean Dyche stride into the middle of the pitch at half-time, raise his arms, and inquire of the crowd ‘are you not entertained?’. If your taste in football is seeing it being sucked into an enormous black hole, the answer would be yes. Otherwise, a giant raspberry” – Charles Antaki

“D’you think Andy Robertson’s hot-headed Gaelic temperament got him, and possibly the team, into trouble there? Or is age catching up with him and he couldn’t make to the important place in time? He seemed to be looking for retribution for the bad Pereira challenge, but as we all know, revenge/vengeance is a dish best eaten cold. Klopp would have given him a good slapping with a bratwurst for his rush of blood. What will Slot be thinking, chips and mayo? Apple pie and cream? Time to sign a new No3?” – Jeremy Boyce
