Chelsea, Spurs held as Leeds move out of danger zone
An 89th-minute goal from substitute Ellis Simms earned relegation-threatened Everton a point at Chelsea on Saturday in a lively 2-2 Premier League draw. Second-half goals from Joao Felix and Kai Havertz with a penalty had looked like earning the home side victory but Simms muscled past Kalidou Koulibaly and his shot beat Chelsea keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. Felix, whose trickery and silky skills had promised much in the first half, finally found the net in the 52nd minute with a low shot that crept in off the post. Chelsea enjoyed more than 70% possession in the first half with Everton defending in numbers but the goal forced Sean Dyche's men forward and the game opened up. They earned their reward in the 69th minute when Abdoulaye Doucoure got on the end of a loose ball after a Dwight McNeil corner and pushed it over the line to make it 1-1. Soon afterwards Chelsea won a penalty when James Tarkowski brought down Reece James and Havertz curled the ball into the top corner sending Jordan Pickford the wrong way, only for Simms to equalise again for Everton. Earlier, Tottenham's challenge for a top-four finish in the Premier League was hit by a late Southampton fightback in a 3-3 draw.  Spurs looked set to leapfrog Manchester United into third as they led bottom-of-the-table Saints 3-1 with just 13 minutes remaining at St. Mary's. But Theo Walcott's first goal in nearly two years and James Ward-Prowse's stoppage-time penalty salvaged a vital point for Southampton. Leeds moved out of the relegation zone by beating fellow strugglers Wolves 4-2 at Molineux, while Aston Villa's fine form under Unai Emery continued as Bournemouth were beaten 3-0 at Villa Park. Brentford missed the chance to go above Liverpool into sixth as they were held 1-1 at home by Leicester. (Reuters, AFP)
