Mario Balotelli’s first Premier League goal for Liverpool sealed a topsy-turvey game that they twice led through Lazar Markovic and a Steven Gerrard penalty before being pegged back by the in-form Harry Kane and Mousa Dembele.

Results:

Arsenal 2-1 Leicester City
Hull City 2-0 Aston Villa
Liverpool 3-2 Tottenham Hotspur
Sunderland 0-2 QPR
