Liverpool became the point leader with a 2-0 victory over Burnley, while Man U rallied to win a fantastic Boxing Day match against Aston Villa 3-2. Meanwhile, Newcastle suffered a home game loss against Nottingham Forest, and Luton Town emerged victorious against Sheffield United.

The now first-seeded Liverpool has maintained an undefeated Boxing Day record under their coach, Jurgen Klopp. Their win over Burnley, however, was only sealed with Diogo Jota’s goal in the final minutes. Liverpool set the stage with an early goal by Darwin Nunez and dominated the game, but Burnley came alive in the second half before Jota sealed Liverpool’s win. Liverpool’s 42 points from 19 games are what’s propelled them to first place, ahead of Arsenal.

The Boxing Day match at Old Trafford was a roller-coaster ride, ending with a thrilling 3-2 victory for Manchester United over Aston Villa. Despite trailing 2-0 at halftime, Alejandro Garnacho’s double and Rasmus Hojlund’s winning goal brought an incredible comeback, securing the much-needed win for the home team. This win propelled Manchester United to sixth place on the Premier League table.

Newcastle’s recent struggles were highlighted by their devastating 3-1 home defeat against Nottingham Forest, who secured a remarkable win under their new coach, Nuno Espirito Santo. Former Newcastle player, Chris Wood, scored a hat-trick for Nottingham Forest, crippling his former team and helping Forest climb to 16th place in the standings. Newcastle is now facing mounting pressure in the league as they sit in eighth place with 29 points.
