LONDON (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, who were held to a 0-0 draw by Brentford but sit a point above Pep Guardiola's side.
