Fulham hold Arsenal to draw at home

• Leicester City came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Brighton & Hove Albion at the King Power Stadium, thanks to late goals by captain Jamie Vardy and Bobby De Cordova-Reid.

Right-back Tariq Lamptey gave the visitors the lead in the 37th minute with a spectacular left-footed strike, curling the ball into the far top corner from outside the box after cutting inside following a clever pass from left-back Pervis Estupinan.

After Yankuba Minteh had doubled Brighton’s lead in the 79th minute, Vardy reduced the deficit for Leicester in the 86th and De Cordova-Reid scored to level things up for the home side in added time.

Brighton moved up to seventh place in the table with 24 points from 15 matches, while promoted Leicester sit in 16th place on 14 points.

• Goals from substitutes Enes Unal and Dango Ouattara powered Bournemouth to a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory and denied relegation-threatened Ipswich Town their first home Premier League victory of the season.

Bournemouth move up to eighth in the standings on 24 points, while Ipswich have nine points from 15 games and sit in 18th place, four points adrift of the safety zone.

In a testy and physical opening spell, Ipswich had the better chances and took the lead in the 21st minute when Cameron Burgess deftly set up Conor Chaplin, who sidefooted home the ball from the edge of the area.

Bournemouth improved gradually and had numerous opportunities to score, with their pressure finally telling late in the match as Unal headed home to level in the 87th minute, before Ouattara struck the winner in the fifth minute of stoppage time.
