Sharjah24 – Reuters: Liverpool endured a rare stumble in their march to the title with a 3-2 loss at Fulham on Sunday as Southampton suffered the earliest relegation in Premier League history when they were beaten 3-1 at Tottenham Hotspur.

The Manchester derby ended goalless for the first time since 2020 as City failed to leapfrog fourth-placed Chelsea, whowere held to a 0-0 draw by Brentford but sit a point above Pep Guardiola's side.

Fulham enjoyed a deserved win over Liverpool, capitalising on dreadful defending to boost their push for European football next season.

Liverpool, whose 26-game unbeaten run in the league ended with their second loss this season, remained top with 73 points from 31 games, 11 ahead of Arsenal who drew 1-1 at Everton on Saturday.
