🔴 LIVE: Marmoush hits 14-minute hat-trick! Forest behind, Saints struggle

There are seven Premier League fixtures taking place on Saturday.

Keep checking back for updates.

Manchester City v Newcastle

Scorers: Marmoush 19′, 24′, 33′

Manchester City took the lead when Omar Marmoush lobbed home for his first goal for the club (and his 20th of the season overall) after a lapse from Kieran Trippier let him in on goal.

And no sooner had he scored his first in sky blue than his second quickly followed as the Egyptian doubled City’s lead with the aid of a slight deflection.

Fourteen minutes after his first, Marmoush then claimed the match ball with an emphatic finish for his hat-trick after being set up by Savinho.

Aston Villa v Ipswich

Fulham v Nottingham Forest

Scorers: Smith Rowe 15′

A rare headed finish from Emile Smith Rowe gave Fulham a 15th minute lead when he nodded in at the back post from Adama Traoré’s deep cross which was begging to find the net.

West Ham v Brentford

Scorers: Schade 4′

It took Brentford just four minutes to open the scoring at the London Stadium when Kevin Schade benefitted from some abysmal West Ham defending in their own penalty area to squeeze an effort over the line.

The post then denied the German his second of the afternoon after an offside flag had prevented Yoane Wissa from adding to the Bees’ advantage.

Southampton v Bournemouth

Scorers: Ouattara 13′, Christie 16′

Bournemouth took an early lead on their short trip across the south coast when Dango Ouattara glanced a header home following a wicked Ryan Christie cross.

The provider then turned goalscorer when he was given too much space from 25 yards to pick his spot and fire a low effort into the corner.

Crystal Palace v Everton

Merino answers emergency call for Arsenal

Scorers: Merino 81′, 87′

A late double off the bench from Arsenal’s makeshift centre forward Mikel Merino eased some concerns over their attacking woes and fired them to a 2-0 win at Leicester City.

A scoreless first half at the King Power Stadium produced little to no goalmouth action to speak of, with Arsenal notably struggling in the absence of four of their main attackers through injury.

They came close to the breakthrough on the hour mark when Ethan Nwaneri cut inside and whipped a vicious strike off the top of the crossbar.

Another of their young stars was then called upon at the other end as a crucial last gasp Myles Lewis-Skelly intervention prevented a certain Leicester goal before Nwaneri rattled the woodwork for the second time in the game.

But with nine minutes remaining, the Gunners finally breached the Leicester defence when Nwaneri picked out makeshift centre-forward Mikel Merino, who had been introduced off the bench to answer the striker call, to head home.

And setting into his new role with ease, the Spaniard swiftly added a second with a cool back post finish to put the result beyond doubt and move his side to within four points of leaders Liverpool ahead of their game on Sunday.
