Everton manager David Moyes believes Liverpool's winning goal should not have stood due to an offside.

On top of that, the Foxes are now without a clean sheet in their last 23 Premier League games this season.

That's the longest run without a shutout in a single top-flight campaign since a run of 30 for Wolves in 2011-12.

Ruud van Nistelrooy is also now the first manager to lead the same team on two separate seven game losing runs in a top-flight season since Freddie Cox in 1958-59 with Portsmouth.

It's heartbreak at the death for Southampton...

They looked on track for only their third win of the season, but they've been denied in stoppage time.

Marcus Rashford scores his third goal in two games and his first for Villa in the Premier League!

It comes from a long ball by Morgan Rogers, sending Rashford through on goal a long way out.

The loanee then finishes past Bart Verbburggen and wheels away to celebrate with the away end.

We’re back underway in the five earlier kick-offs. 

At the Amex, Aston Villa feel they’ve been hard-done-by. 

And it’s led to some more VAR controversy, with Jacob Ramsey seemingly being brought down in the box by Jack Hinshelwood. 

Ramsey skipped down the left and beat his man before being tripped, however, VAR did not overturn the referee’s decision for no penalty. 

A Premier League statement read: “The referee’s call of no penalty to Aston Villa following a challenge by Hinshelwood on Ramsey was checked and confirmed by VAR – with the contact deemed not to reach the threshold for a foul.”
