Liverpool's Divock Origi scored a bizarre 96th-minute goal in sensational circumstances as a terrible Jordan Pickford error gifted the Reds victory over Everton in the Merseyside derby at Anfield.

The loss was cruel to Everton, who had at times played the more adventurous football in a lively encounter.

The Toffees remain without a victory in their past 18 meetings with Liverpool, and are winless at Anfield this century.

In early matches, Arsenal fought back for an explosive 4-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the match of the year, while Chelsea defeated Fulham 2-1. (Match details below)

The 232nd meeting between the Liverpool city rivals looked set to be heading for a draw when Pickford mishandled a high ball that seemed to be heading over his bar and spilled it out to Origi.

A late substitute making his first Premier League appearance since August 2017, all the Belgian striker had to do was nod into an empty net to secure a win that consolidated Liverpool's second place, two points behind defending champions Manchester City.

It was Origi's third goal against Everton - his best record against any side for Liverpool.

Speaking after the match, Origi described his goal as a special moment.

"It was just instinct. I tried to be sharp and in the end Virgil (van Dijk) gave a nice assist," he said.

"It's a special moment, I'm enjoying it. It is a special one for the club and the city."

"It is such a nice story that Divock Origi can score a goal," said Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.

Everton remain in sixth position in the table, eight points below Tottenham in fifth and Arsenal in fourth.

Arsenal's explosive 4-2 win stunned bitter rivals Tottenham in their London match.

The victor extended Arsenal's unbeaten run to 19 matches in all competitions after fighting back from 2-1 down in arguably the Premier League's game of the season so far.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's penalty had put Arsenal ahead before Eric Dier's header and a Harry Kane spot-kick gave Tottenham the lead at half-time at the Emirates Stadium.

Dier's gloating celebration had triggered a touchline brawl involving Arsenal substitutes.

The fireworks were far from over as Aubameyang's superb long-range equaliser sparked a second half surge from the Gunners.

Alexandre Lacazette came off the bench to put Arsenal ahead and Lucas Torreira sealed the points with his first goal for the club.

Capping a miserable day for Jan Vertonghen, the Tottenham defender was sent off in the closing stages after earlier giving away Arsenal's penalty.

"It is a very big match for our confidence. Now we have to continue our process," manager Unai Emery said.

"It is a very big victory. We give this to our supporters because it's a very special match against Tottenham."

It was only Arsenal's second win in the last nine league north London derbies and, while stealing local bragging rights is always sweet, this felt like a significant moment for Emery's team in the bigger picture.

At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea bounced back from their first Premier League defeat of the season to see off local rivals Fulham 2-0, with goals from Pedro and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

Sunday's hard-fought win lifted Chelsea into third place above Spurs, in action against Arsenal later in the day.

The home side, welcoming former manager Claudio Ranieri back to Stamford Bridge in the Fulham dugout, were quickly into their stride against their neighbours and were ahead inside four minutes.

Chelsea dominated possession and scored early through Spanish forward Pedro. But they struggled to find their rhythm and looked shaky until substitute Loftus-Cheek settled their nerves with a late second.

The England international finished a lovely move by driving into the net from the right-hand side of the penalty area in the 82nd minute.

Pedro's strike was Chelsea's 1,000th home goal in the Premier League. They are the third club to reach the landmark after Manchester United and Arsenal.
