LONDON, March 2 (Xinhua) -- Darwin Nunez came off the bench to score a dramatic 99th minute glancing header to give Liverpool a 1-0 win away to Nottingham Forest and assure their lead in the Premier League standings.

The Uruguayan broke Forest's hearts, and the home side was especially unhappy as a head injury had previously halted play with them in possession.

Tottenham came back from a goal down to win 3-1 at home to Crystal Palace, who took a 59th minute lead through Eberechi Eze.

Spurs hit back with three goals in the last 13 minutes with goals from Timo Werner, Cristian Romero and Son Heung-Min, and striker Brennan Johnson played a key role with assists for the first and third goals.

Lucas Digne's 89th minute header gave Aston Villa three vital points in their efforts to qualify for the Champions League.

Ollie Watkins looked to have given Villa a comfortable lead with two first half goals at Kenilworth Road, but Luton fought back with second half efforts from Tahith Chong and Carlton Morris and looked as if they could win the game, before Digne's far-post winner.

Chelsea continued to struggle as a late header from Axel Disasi saved a draw in a see-saw game away to Brentford.

Nicolas Jackson put Chelsea ahead, but Mads Roerslev and Yoane Wissa netted second half efforts (Wissa from a spectacular overhead kick) to give Brentford hope for three big points.

Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon scored first half goals that allowed Newcastle to recover from last weekend's thrashing away to Arsenal, with a 3-0 home win over Wolverhampton.

Isak finished a rapid break after just 14 minutes, Gordon banged a right-foot shot into the top corner on 33 minutes and Timo Livramento added the third goal in injury time.

West Ham United netted two injury-time goals to keep the pressure on Everton with a 3-1 win at Goodison Park.

Beto put Everton ahead after James Garner's 56th minute pass, but Kurt Zouma leveled six minutes later with good work from James Ward-Prowse.

Tomas Soucek put West Ham ahead in the first minute of injury time and Edson Alvarez sealed the win in the 95th minute.

Finally, Fulham enjoyed a comfortable win at home to Brighton with first half goals from Harry Wilson and Rodrigo Muniz and a third effort from Adama Traore in injury time. Enditem
