The low-flyers in the Premier League don’t let up. Burnley was able to avoid a defeat against Fulham after Datro Fofana single-handedly converted a 0-2 deficit into a 2-2 draw. On the Newcastle field, Luton Town even seemed on its way to a spectacular victory, but The Magpies were able to turn a 2–4 deficit into a 4-4 draw. Earlier in the day, the other relegation candidate, Everton, also fought for a point against Tottenham in the closing seconds.
Injured Amadou Onana sees Everton fighting for a point against Tottenham in the extreme
Richarlison initially turned out to be the tormentor of his ex-club with two goals. After less than four minutes he finished an assist from Udogie with great precision, just before half-time he curled the ball into the furthest intersection from outside the sixteen. Jack Harrison balanced the boards in between during a confused phase on a corner kick in which the Spurs goalkeeper was clearly hindered. However, the ref and VAR did not intervene.

Red Devil Amadou Onana was not present at Everton due to a knee injury. His team seemed headed for a home defeat for a long time, until Jarrad Branthwaite (90’+4) headed the equalizer into the net after Romero unfortunately extended a free kick.

Kompany escapes defeat in the end
Vincent Kompany has escaped another defeat at the last minute. His team Burnley fell behind after seventeen minutes after a goal by Fulham midfielder João Palhinha. Four minutes later, Rodrgio Muniz doubled the lead of the London team, where Red Devil Timothy Castagne was in the starting line-up.
Kompany and co seemed to be facing another defeat, but thanks to two goals from Datro Fofana, the last of which in added time, the score was ultimately 2-2. Burnley – where Red Devil Ameen Al-Dakhil remained on the bench for ninety minutes – is not making much progress, because with thirteen points from 22 games they are still penultimate. The gap at eighteenth in the standings (Everton) is six points.
