EPL Results Week 27: Saturday's 2019 Premier League Scores, Top Scorers, Table

Tom SunderlandFeb 23, 2019

Burnley stunned Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 at Turf Moor on Saturday to go eight games unbeaten in the Premier League despite Spurs' Harry Kane coming back to score his 15th goal of the season.

Kane made a scoring return to the lineup after five weeks out with an ankle injury, but Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes netted either side of his leveller to move the Clarets up to 14th in the standings.

Crystal Palace beat Leicester City 4-1 in the late kick-off to go six games unbeaten in all competitions. Michy Batshuayi scored his first Premier League goal since October 2017 to open Palace's account, with Wilfried Zaha (two) and Luka Milivojevic also getting on the score sheet for Roy Hodgson's side.

Recap

Kane's comeback saw Tottenham's talisman get back in the goals at Burnley, but it was bittersweet for the England international as Spurs slumped to their first loss in five matches.

Wood headed in the opener from a corner after 57 minutes, but Burnley's lead lasted for only eight minutes. Danny Rose showed quick initiative to throw Kane in behind the hosts' defence, and he stabbed the equaliser past Tom Heaton (U.S. only):

Burnley boss Sean Dyche was incensed after Rose stole what looked to be at least five yards with his quick throw-in to Kane, but Barnes' strike seven minutes from time saved his manager's frustrations.

Johann Gudmundsson's scuffed shot found its way through to the striker at the back post, and Tottenham suffered their first away league defeat of 2019.

Spurs could fall eight points off the title pace if Liverpool win at Manchester United on Sunday, and Spurs chief Mauricio Pochettino flew into a rage with referee Mike Dean at the final whistle (UK only):

NBC posted footage for U.S. viewers:

Pochettino apologised when speaking to the media after the match and admitted he perhaps "crossed the line a little bit," per BBC Sport.

Palace moved up to 13th after they stormed the King Power Stadium late to demolish Leicester 4-1. The Foxes finished with 27 attempts on goal to Palace's six, but it was Hodgson's side who made their chances count.

Batshuayi got his first start for new loan club Palace following his January move, and the Belgian gave the away side the breakthrough just before half-time (U.S. only):

Defender Jonny Evans scored his first goal for Leicester to equalise, but Zaha responded with his first of the game shortly after. Milivojevic netted his eighth goal of the season from the spot before Zaha's seventh of the campaign made the result certain.

Saturday's fixture was also a special occasion for Eagles coach Hodgson, per OptaJoe:

Miguel Almiron made his full debut for Newcastle in what finished as a routine win over the 10-man Terriers.

Right-back Tommy Smith was sent off after only 21 minutes for a foul on the Paraguayan, who hit the woodwork in the first half and gave further encouragement following his arrival in January:

Rondon scored the first just after half-time and then teed up Perez for Newcastle's second, with Rafa Benitez's men establishing some daylight between themselves and the drop zone, while Huddersfield's relegation looks sealed.

Two penalties were awarded in an at-times dull clash between Bournemouth and Wolves at the Vitality Stadium, with Raul Jimenez coming to the visitors' rescue by converting from the spot in the 83rd minute.

King opened the scoring with a 14th-minute penalty and could have won the fixture had he scored his second—given just one minute after Wolves levelled—but the Norwegian fired wide.
