Liverpool show comeback spirit again, Coleman & Wood join star-studded group

Another enthralling weekend of Premier League action ended, admittedly, with a rather underwhelming contest between Manchester City and Arsenal.

The goalless draw at the Etihad ensured that Liverpool remained at the top of the standings with just nine games left to play, after their 2-1 win over Brighton earlier on Sunday.

Away from the league's summit, the likes of Newcastle, Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Tottenham all secured vital wins.

While Sheffield United and Fulham played out a pulsating - and ultimately crushing from a Blades perspective - 3-3 draw at Bramall Lane on Saturday. And then there was the late-late fixture which saw Brentford rescue a point against Manchester United.

Mail Sport's Aadam Patel takes a look at some of the most intriguing statistics from the weekend's action.

Reds love a comeback win

Liverpool have now won 26 points from losing positions in the Premier League this season.

That’s three more than anyone else. Sunday was the seventh time they have come from behind to win in the top flight in 2023-24 — their most ever in a single Premier League season.

Calamity Coleman

On his 358th Premier League appearance for Everton, Seamus Coleman scored his sixth own goal to consign the Toffees to yet another defeat. Only four players have scored more own goals in the history of the Premier League.

Shoot on sight

There were 51 shots between Chelsea (33) and Burnley (18). Only one Premier League game on record (since 2003-04) has seen more attempts at goal — QPR v Leicester in November 2014 (52).

Wood uses his head

Chris Wood has scored more headers (five) than any other top-flight player this season.

His goal for Forest against Palace means he has now scored at least 10 Premier League goals in five different seasons
