Premier League round-up: Fulham beat Forest, Ipswich hold Villa

Calvin Bassey’s first goal of the season clinched Fulham their first home league win of the year, 2-1 against Nottingham Forest, who slipped to back-to-back away defeats.

Forest striker Chris Wood fired Forest level before the break with his 18th league goal of the campaign after Emile Smith Rowe had headed Fulham into the lead, but Bassey headed the winner just after the hour mark.

Aston Villa's bid for a top-six finish was dealt a blow after they were held 1-1 at Villa Park by 10-man Ipswich.

Ipswich defender Axel Tuanzebe was sent off for his second yellow card after hauling down Jacob Ramsey shortly before half-time.

The visitors then stunned Villa early in the second period when Liam Delap gave them the lead before Ollie Watkins equalised, turning home a rebound after substitute Marcus Rashford’s free-kick had struck the crossbar.

Bournemouth climbed up to fifth in the table = one point behind City – after a 3-1 win at south-coast rivals Southampton.

Dango Ouattara’s first-half header and Ryan Christie’s thumping effort two minutes later put the Cherries in control.

Kamaldeen Sulemana reduced the deficit for the Saints, but the Cherries restored their two-goal lead through Marcus Tavernier’s emphatic finish as the Saints lost for the 20th time in the league this season.

Kevin Schade’s early goal was enough to seal Brentford a 1-0 win at West Ham, who have lost five of their last seven top-flight games.

Schade struck in the fourth minute to earn the Bees a third-straight away win in the league, despite Ireland striker Evan Ferguson coming off the bench to boost the Hammers in the second half.

Omar Marmoush struck a first-half hat-trick as Manchester City beat Newcastle 4-0 to climb back into the Premier League's top four.
