Premier League News


Yeremy Pino squandered a golden chance to mark his first Premier League start with the winner as Crystal Palace were held to a goalless draw by Sunderland.

A bright cameo by new signing Kevin inspired Fulham to a first Premier League win of the season with Gabriel Gudmundsson's 94th-minute own goal enough to clinch a 1-0 victory over Leeds.

Nick Woltemade paid off the first instalment of his £69 million transfer fee as he headed Newcastle to a first Premier League win of the season on his debut.

Aston Villa's search for a win continued as a goalless draw at Everton did nothing to improve their sorry start to the Premier League season.
