BOURNEMOUTH 3-3 WEST HAM<\/strong> Callum Wilson was credited with the Cherries’ third after he had the final touch as Nathan Ake headed goalwards. There was a suspicion of offside and handball but referee Bobby Madley eventually awarded the equaliser after a lengthy conversation with assistant Simon Long.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Wilson’s disputed effort cancelled out a brace from Hammers forward Marko Arnautovic that had David Moyes’ travelling side expecting victory.<\/p>\n CHELSEA 2-0 BRIGHTON<\/strong> Morata was unavailable for the goalless draw at\u00a0Everton\u00a0three days previously but his firepower inspired the champions following a lifeless first half that saw a number of fine chances wasted.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It was a familiar sight that broke the deadlock as the Spain striker combined with international team-mate Cesar Azpilicueta, nodding home the full-back’s pinpoint cross a mere 40 seconds after the interval.<\/p>\n Alonso nodded in the second from Fabregas’ delivery.<\/p>\n HUDDERSFIELD\u00a01-1 STOKE<\/strong> <\/p>\n Ince, who last registered a top-flight goal with\u00a0Crystal Palace, finally ended his drought with his 45th shot in the division this season in the 10th minute.<\/p>\n MANCHESTER\u00a0UNITED\u00a02-2 BURNLEY<\/strong> <\/p>\n Lingard answered a half-time SOS call with United staring down the barrel at 2-0 down, but pulled one back with an instinctive back-heel before striking through a packed box in added time to cap a frantic finale.<\/p>\n WATFORD\u00a02-1 LEICESTER<\/strong> A tap-in from Molla Wague and an own goal from Kasper Schmeichel cancelled out Leicester forward Riyad Mahrez’s opener.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The victory was a first for Marco Silva’s side since a 3-0 success at Newcastle on 25 November.<\/p>\n WEST\u00a0BROM\u00a00-0 EVERTON<\/strong> Salomon Rondon and Craig Dawson missed golden chances as the Baggies were held to a goalless draw at The Hawthorns, with boss Alan Pardew still looking for his first win after six attempts.<\/p>\n They will go half a season without a Premier League victory if they fail to beat\u00a0Arsenal\u00a0at home on Sunday and Pardew’s side are three points from the safety line.\u00a0Sam Allardyce, meanwhile, is unbeaten as Everton manager.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n Source: TalkSport<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tottenham beat Southampton 5-2\u00a0to begin Boxing Day in style and there were plenty of goals in the 3pm games, too.
