Matchday 12 of the 2025–26 Premier League season delivered absolute drama across England on Saturday night. From Liverpool getting stunned at Anfield to West Ham blowing a two-goal lead, the action never stopped. Here’s everything that went down in the four big Goal Rush fixtures: Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest, Fulham vs Sunderland, Bournemouth vs West Ham, and Brighton vs Brentford.
Liverpool Suffer Shock 3–0 Home Defeat to Nottingham Forest
Liverpool’s slump continued in brutal fashion as Nottingham Forest demolished them 3–0 at Anfield.
Murillo opened the scoring in the 33rd minute when Liverpool failed to clear a corner, and he smashed home a rocket past Alisson. Soon after halftime, Savona made it 2–0 with a clean first-time finish following great work from Nico Williams.
Gibbs-White sealed the win in the 78th minute, pouncing on a rebound after Alisson’s save fell right into his path — sealing Forest’s biggest statement win of the season.
Brighton Fight Back to Beat Brentford 2–1, Thanks to Last-Minute Heroics
Brighton overturned a first-half deficit to claim all three points at the Amex.
Brentford took the lead through an Igor Thiago penalty, but Danny Welbeck equalised after the break with a composed finish from Minteh’s perfect pass.
Hinshelwood then completed the comeback in the 84th minute, reacting quickest to a blocked shot inside the box. In stoppage time, Brentford had another penalty — but Verbruggen pulled off a stunning save to protect Brighton’s win.
Fulham Snatch a Late 1–0 Victory Over Sunderland
For nearly the whole game, Fulham and Sunderland looked destined for a goalless draw. But in the 84th minute, the Cottagers finally struck.
Chukwueze found Raul Jimenez with a sharp cutback, and the Mexican forward calmly finished to hand Fulham a crucial home win.
Bournemouth Produce Comeback to Draw 2–2 With West Ham
West Ham looked in full control after Callum Wilson’s first-half brace put them 2–0 up at Dean Court. But Bournemouth flipped the script after the break.
A penalty from Tavernier made it 2–1, and substitute Enes Unal equalised just one minute after coming on — cheekily lifting the ball over Areola to complete a dramatic comeback.
