Premier League relegation odds experienced a sizeable shake-up as a result of Saturday’s fixtures, with Bournemouth and Crystal Palace securing vital victories in their bid for survival.
Jean-Philippe Mateta’s 94th-minute winner handed Roy Hodgson an opening game victory in his return to the dugout, and also put an end to Crystal Palace’s 12-game winless run.
In doing so, the Eagles maintained their 12th-place position in the table, but remain just two points off the drop zone with a whole host of teams below them also holding a game in hand.

Nevertheless, 31 shots on goal is a drastic difference compared to the side who have struggled to create chances as of late, and taking points off Leicester, who now sit in the relegation zone, in a proverbial ‘six-pointer’ will add a massive boost to their survival hopes.
Elsewhere, Daniel Podence’s 83rd minute equaliser away at Nottingham Forest keeps Julen Lopetegui’s side afloat, but despite enjoying 73% of the ball, their worrying lack of creativity was alarmingly evident as they registered just one shot on target.

It now means Wolves edge just ahead of Forest in the table, although Steve Cooper’s side hold a game in hand over their Midlands rivals with just a point separating the pair.
Perhaps the most crucial win across Saturday afternoon’s relegation duels saw Bournemouth claim another huge scalp against Fulham, just weeks after beating Liverpool prior to the international break.
The Cherries fought back after conceding an early Andreas Pereira goal, with Dominic Solanke’s strike with 10 minutes to play proving the difference. They too move clear of the relegation places, with three points separating themselves in 15th, and 18th-placed Leicester.
Leeds also succumbed to a heavy 4-1 defeat away at league leaders Arsenal, undoing the spectacular 4-2 win against Wolves a fortnight ago and leaving them just a solitary point off the drop zone.
