Sulemana registered an assist for the Saints as they were beaten by Tottenham, marking their 25th defeat in 31 games.
Antoine Semenyo and Mohammed Kudus were on opposing sides as West Ham locked horns with Bournemouth. Kudus’ 68th-minute assist was not enough for the Hammers to hammer the Cherries with both teams settling for a 2-2 stalemate.

Edmund Baidoo was on the scoresheet for New York Red Bulls in their 2-1 win over BW Linz in the MLS.
