Penalty awards help Everton, Man Utd, Chelsea fight back
Monday, 28 September 2020
LONDON, Sept 27 (Reuters): Early leaders Everton maintained their perfect start to the season with a 2-1 win at Crystal Palace, while a penalty in the 10th minute of stoppage time gave Manchester United a 3-2 win at Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday.
Chelsea fought back from 3-0 down at the break to earn a 3-3 draw at West Bromwich Albion, while Danny Ings grabbed the winner as Southampton got their first win of the campaign at struggling Burnley.
Carlo Ancelotti's Everton made it three wins out of three, winning with a penalty at Selhurst Park that had Palace manager Roy Hodgson fuming after the match. The Merseysiders took the lead in the 10th minute when a Colombian James Rodriguez's smart first time pass found the Seamus Coleman who set up Dominic Calvert-Lewin to score for the third straight league game.
Palace drew level in simple fashion though with CheikhouKouyate heading in an Andros Townsend corner at the back post.
