Premier League round-up: Leicester fall into drop zone

Leicester slipped into the Premier League's bottom three after losing 2-1 to Roy Hodgson's Crystal Palace.

Ricardo Pereira gave the Foxes a 56th-minute lead but it lasted just three minutes as Eberechi Eze's free-kick hit the crossbar, bounced off goalkeeper Daniel Iversen and went into the net.

And Jean-Philippe Mateta's stoppage-time winner ensured Hodgson's return to the dugout coincided with Palace's first win of 2023.

Bournemouth moved out of the bottom three after beating Fulham 2-1.

Andreas Pereira's 16th-minute strike was cancelled out by Marcus Tavernier's terrific strike before Dominic Solanke netted a late winner.

Nottingham Forest are two points ahead of Leicester after a 1-1 draw with fellow strugglers Wolves.

Brennan Johnson, who started after missing Wales duty with injury, gave Forest a 38th-minute lead but Daniel Podence equalised with seven minutes left.

In the fight for Europe, Brighton and Brentford both moved above Liverpool after playing out a thrilling 3-3 draw on the south coast.

Just 18 first-half minutes separated the first four goals. Pontus Jansson's 10th-minute opener was cancelled out by Kaoru Mitoma before Ivan Toney quickly restored the Bees' lead only for Danny Welbeck to make it 2-2.

Ethan Pinnock put Brentford ahead again four minutes after the break but Alexis Mac Allister's late penalty earned the Seagulls a point that leaves them six points off fourth-placed Tottenham, with two games in hand.

Arsenal responded to Manchester City's dismantling of Liverpool by beating Leeds to keep their lead at the top of the league at eight points.

Pep Guardiola's City, missing Erling Haaland, fell behind to a 17th-minute Mohamed Salah goal but responded in style to record a 4-1 victory in the early game and
