Milivojevic’s goal from 20 yards was enough to win the match

The visitors had a few opportunities to get an equaliser but Vicente Guaita made a brilliant save to deny Jamie Vardy as Palace held on for their first Premier League victory in over two years without star player Wilfried Zaha.

Huddersfield Town 0-1 Newcastle United

Salomon Rondon’s second-half effort earned Newcastle a vital win at fellow strugglers Huddersfield.The hosts dominated the match, however, going close with efforts from Philip Billing and Chris Lowe.But against the run of play, Ayoze Perez and Javi Manquillo combined well and Rondon fired home on 55 minutes as the Magpies moved six points away from the drop.5

This is Rondon’s fifth goal of the season

Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 Burnley

Christian Eriksen struck an injury-time winner to end Tottenham’s frustration against Burnley and earn a 1-0 Premier League win.Spurs looked like enduring a disappointing comedown from their midweek high in Barcelona as they struggled to break the Clarets down at Wembley.But Eriksen, introduced from the bench, won it in the first minute of time added on when he coolly clipped home.5

Eriksen spared Spurs from a frustrating draw

It was no more than Spurs deserved, as they missed several chances to have the game wrapped up before then, but they got the job done and cemented their place in the top three.For Burnley it was another away defeat and they continue to hover above the bottom three.

Watford 3-2 Cardiff City

Gerard Deulofeu starred as Watford withstood a late rally from Cardiff to end a six-match winless run with a 3-2 victory at Vicarage Road.The Hornets led 3-0 after 68 minutes after Deulofeu’s solo strike and curling efforts from Jose Holebas and Domingos Quina.5

The Hornets almost blew a three-goal lead

But the Bluebirds were grateful for goalkeeper Neil Etheridge’s display and refused to submit, scoring two goals in three minutes to set up a nervous finale.Junior Hoilett struck from 25 yards after 80 minutes and Bobby Reid scrambled in a second soon afterwards, but Watford held on to win. Cardiff now have one point from their last 10 Premier League away games.

Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 AFC Bournemouth

Wolves have won three straight top-flight matches for the first time in almost 40 years after beating Bournemouth 2-0 on Saturday.An early goal from Raul Jimenez and a late strike by substitute Ivan Cavaleiro handed Wolves the three points.5

Wolves were deserved winners

Following successes against Chelsea and Newcastle in the past 10 days, it is the first time since March 1980 that Wanderers have recorded a trio of consecutive victories in the top division.The win saw Nuno Espirito Santo’s side climb up to seventh place in the table while Bournemouth remain in mid-table after a sixth defeat in seven Premier League games.
