Following a weekend of international football, the Premier League made a return and as always, it produced some riveting games.
There were matters at both ends of the table being affected with Manchester City looking to regain top spot ahead of Liverpool, while Huddersfield were determined to preserve their top flight status for one more week at least.
Below you can read about the best of Saturday’s Premier League action.
Brighton and Hove Albion 0-1 Southampton

Nathan Redmond skips past a challenge
Southampton held on for a 1-0 win over Brighton at the AMEX Stadium which also boosted the Saints’ prospects of staying up.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg scored what turned out to be the only goal in the 53rd minute but Brighton pressed for an equaliser, with Anthony Knockaert among those who missed good chances.
Burnley 2-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers
Burnley also boosted their survival hopes with a 2-0 win over Wolves at Turf Moor.
Conor Coady’s second-minute own goal gave the Clarets a dream start and although the visitors dominated for much of the second period, 19-year-old Dwight McNeil fired home the second goal in the 77th minute.

Crystal Palace 2-0 Huddersfield Town
Huddersfield’s defeat at Selhurst Park and the wins for Southampton and Burnley confirmed their relegation from the Premier League.
Wilfried Zaha was brought down in the area by Juninho Bacuna, referee Lee Probert had little choice but to award the 76th-minute penalty that essentially consigned the visitors to relegation. The reliable Luka Milivojevic confidently finished down the middle as Hamer dived, giving Palace the lead.
Zaha then sent Van Aanholt clear in the 88th minute and watched as the full-back shot at an angle past Hamer and into the back of the net.

Everton built on their impressive 2-0 win over Chelsea a fortnight ago with a victory at West Ham by the same scoreline.

Everton have leapfrogged West Ham into ninth, while Manuel Pellegrini’s men drop to eleventh.
