Four football games. Four potentially significant results in their own right.
Betting odds on Stoke City’s survival have widened while West Brom’s chances of staying up are all but over.
As for the Premier League top scorer prize: with Harry Kane injured, Mo Salah has done his chances the power of good.
Bournemouth 2-1 West Bromwich Albion
There was a minute remaining when Junior Stanislas stepped up and floated a superb free-kick into the net to seal a 13-minute fightback and break West Brom hearts.
Their outside chances of survival had been boosted by Jay Rodriguez’s goal four minutes after the restart.
The withdrawal of West Brom skipper Jonny Evans followed by Jordon Ibe’s equaliser were already two damaging blows in a minute for the Baggies before Stanislas applied the coup de grace.
Huddersfield Town 0-2 Crystal Palace
A snowstorm hit Yorkshire as Crystal Palace stormed the John Smith’s Stadium to secure their first victory in eight games.
Goals from James Tomkins and Luka Milivojevic, from the penalty spot, moved them out of the bottom three.
The return of Wilfried Zaha was key as the Terriers anxiously look over their shoulders.
Stoke City 1-2 Everton
A double from new signing Cenk Tosun—his third and fourth in three games—won the match for Everton and sealed a rare away win (only their second this term).
A major blow for Stoke, although boss Paul Lambert says his side is ‘in the running’ to avoid the drop.
This was a big setback, however, on a wintry afternoon in the Potteries, and the real chill of relegation looms unless Stoke improve quickly.
The hosts were up against it from the half hour when Charlie Adam was dismissed for a lounge on Wayne Rooney.
Liverpool 5-0 Watford FC
Mohamed Salah produced a masterclass to thrash Watford.
His four goals lifted the Merseysiders back up to third and the Egyptian even set up another for Roberto Firmino in the rout.
Salah now has 28 Premier League goals this season (36 in all competitions) and, after this four-goal haul, is four clear of Kane in the top scorers charts with the England frontman out for the next month.
