Arsenal survived a scare to grind out a win over Huddersfield Town to boost their hopes of finishing inside the top four.

The Gunners raced into a 2-0 lead thanks to Alex Iwobi and Alexandre Lacazette.

But Town responded well, but their goal came too late to provide more pressure in pursuit of a point, with Sead Kolasinac putting through his own net in stoppage time.

Relive the action as it happened above.

86 min: Liverpool 3-0 Bournemouth

Chances at either end here as well, where Alisson brillianty denies Lys Mousset before Naby Keita fires over.

Zaha looks to add another to his tally, but Fabianski is equal to it this time.

The woodwork denies the visitors again, with Lucas Digne's free-kick from the right hitting the bar before bouncing away with Foster motionless.

Another chance for the visitors, but Calvert-Lewin fails to get his header from Zouma's cross on target. He should really do better.

Still no fourth, and Firmino should really make it fourth but his shot is tame following Robertson's run which puts the Brazilian clean through.

Defiance once more from Boruc, who this time denies Alexander-Arnold.
