Arsenal were held to a 1-1 home draw by Brentford on Saturday, meaning Liverpool are three wins from clinching the Premier League crown, while Manchester City moved back into the top four with a 5-2 comeback victory over visiting Crystal Palace.

It appeared the Saints might earn a rare point when Aaron Ramsdale saved Marco Asensio’s 69th-minute penalty, but Ollie Watkins put Villa ahead four minutes later and fellow substitute Donyell Malen swiftly added a finish of his own.
