Crystal Palace grabbed a last-minute equaliser, through a Fernandinho own goal, to earn a 2-2 draw at Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday after two goals from Sergio Aguero looked to have given the champions victory.

The result leaves City still trailing leaders Liverpool by 13 points ahead of the Anfield side’s home game against Manchester United on Sunday. Palace, who won this fixture last season, took the lead through new signing Cenk Tosun in the 39th minute.

Watford stretched their unbeaten run in the Premier League to six matches but missed out on a fourth successive victory when Troy Deeney’s second-half penalty was saved in a 0-0 home draw with Tottenham Hotspur.

Skipper Deeney stepped up to take the spot kick in the 69th minute after Spurs defender Jan Vertonghen clearly handled Gerard Deulofeu’s shot, but his effort was saved by Spurs keeper Paulo Gazzaniga.

Arsenal drew 1-1 with Sheffield United at the Emirates.
