Divock Origi rescued Liverpool's Premier League title bid with a 86th-minute winner as a 3-2 victory over Newcastle shifted the pressure onto Manchester City with moments to spare. Liverpool's title challenge looked set to unravel at St James' Park as strikes from Christian Atsu (20) and Salomon Rondon (54) saw Newcastle came from behind twice to cancel out first-half goals from Virgil van Dijk (13) and Mohamed Salah (28). Liverpool's cause was further hampered by the loss of Salah to a nasty head injury midway through the second half, but his replacement Origi's glancing header sealed a priceless victory for Jurgen Klopp's side as this season's fascinating title race took another twist. The victory sees Liverpool move two points clear at the top of the table and applies the pressure on champions Manchester City ahead of their clash with Leicester on Monday Night Football.

In a shambolic start, United saw their defence torn to shreds by an exciting and vibrant Bournemouth side who are playing some excellent football at this moment in time. The attacking players, without Romelu Lukaku, failed to link up with Alexis Sanchez and Anthony Martial failing to got hold of the ball and show their attacking flair.

The Portugal forward  has bagged five goals in as many appearances for the Reds during November, including a Champions League hat-trick against Atalanta BC. That treble of excellent finishes in Bergamo marked the beginning of his productive haul in the month, which was added to in the Anfield win over Leicester City with a clinical header. Jota was on target at Brighton & Hove Albion, where he netted after an incisive dribble into the opposition box and precise low finish. And that form saw Jota retain the Standard Chartered accolade, having collected it in October too, ahead of Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson in a poll of supporters. Jota has missed Liverpool's last two games due to a knee injury and admits he finds it difficult to watch, rather than play. “Playing in the Premier League is not easy and we have been struggling a little bit away from home, but let’s hope that we can correct that straight away because that would make a massive difference in the table,” he said, ...
