Late goals were the order of the day in another exciting afternoon of Premier League action.

Matt Ritchie was on hand to smash a half-volley in at the back post against former side Bournemouth as Newcastle snatched the latest of points. Javier Hernandez scored twice in the final embers as West Ham left bottom club Huddersfield contemplating another away defeat.

And Wes Morgan's late strike proved the winner for 10-man Leicester as Burnley's relegation fears worsened.

Full time in the Premier League, what a round of results:

West Ham 4 - 3 Huddersfield

West Ham closed a two goal deficit to comeback and win the match against Huddersfield.

Burnley 1 - 2 Leicester

Leicester went down to 10-men in the first five minutes but Burnley can't capitalise on their fortune and Morgan nicked a winner in the final minutes.

Bournemouth 2 - 2 Newcastle

Matt Ritchie scored a last grasp equaliser for Newcastle in a hard fought contest at the Vitality Stadium after Bournemouth thought they'd claimed the three points.

Phew! I need a breather.

There's no such thing in this game though as the matches keep on coming. We move back to the FA Cup quarter-finals now as Swansea host Manchester City.

Swansea look to press Man City high up the pitch but City play the ball around their defence with ease. Bernardo Silva sends the ball long to Kyle Walker on the overlap and he wins a corner.
