Full time: Crystal Palace 0-0 Aston Villa<\/h2>\n

A scrappy game ends in a stalemate that suits neither team \u2013 Palace\u2019s winless run goes on, and Aston Villa fail to make up enough ground on leaders Arsenal.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

Back under way at St James\u2019 Park, where Leeds lead 2-1.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also nine minutes of stoppage time at the Vitality, where David Brooks sends an effort high and wide after Semenyo\u2019s shot is blocked.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

Red card! Everton down to nine men<\/h2>\n

Not sure what\u2019s happening to Everton \u2013 Jack Grealish has been shown a second yellow card and they\u2019re down to nine men! What\u2019s more, they have nine added minutes to hold out.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

City waste the free kick and Tom Watson threatens to break away from Brighton before being crowded out. Five minutes for the hosts to find a winner \u2026<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

Cherki wins a free kick in a dangerous spot, while Chelsea have a corner at the Cottage that Fulham just about deal with.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

Any signs of life from City at the Etihad? It\u2019s Brighton who have had the better of the second half, but Rayan Cherki has just fired wide from Doku\u2019s cut-back. As it stands, City and Villa are both dropping more points \u2026<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

GOAL! Fulham 2-1 Chelsea (Wilson 79′)<\/h2>\n

Fulham retake the lead and this time Harry Wilson\u2019s goal will stand! He brings the ball down from a rebound, takes a touch and fires home with his right foot, via a deflection.<\/p>\n

Updated at\u00a016.24 EST<\/p>\n

Spurs are pushing for a winner now, and Petrovic makes an excellent save to keep out Van de Ven\u2019s header.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

Red card! Keane sent off for Everton<\/h2>\n

From hero to zero, Michael Keane is sent off after a VAR review \u2013 and there\u2019s still time for Wolves to grab a winner \u2026<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

In the 7.30pm kick-offs, Brentford <\/strong>are the only team with a lead. Every other game is level with 10 minutes to play \u2026<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

Half time in the 8.15pm kick-offs, and it\u2019s Burnley 1-0 Manchester United <\/strong>and Newcastle 1-2 Leeds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

GOAL! Bournemouth 2-2 Tottenham (Palhinha 79′)<\/h2>\n

Spurs shake off their penalty frustration, and Joao Palhinha levels with an acrobatic finish! Are Bournemouth going to be denied victory yet again?<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

GOAL! Fulham 1-1 Chelsea (Delap 72′)<\/h2>\n

Remind yourselves of everything I said about Chelsea earlier \u2013 the 10 men are level! It\u2019s Liam Delap who has spoiled the Craven Cottage party, firing home a rebound.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

GOAL! Newcastle 1-2 Leeds (Calvert-Lewin pen 45+4′)<\/h2>\n

Leeds retake the lead after being awarded a controversial penalty, Thiaw penalised for handball as he was falling down, with Calvert-Lewin leaning on his shoulder. It looked harsh after one brief viewing. Anyway, DCL steps up to convert the spot kick.<\/p>\n

Updated at\u00a016.15 EST<\/p>\n

No penalty! <\/strong>It\u2019s Micky van de Ven who won the penalty for Spurs, but replays suggest he ran into James Hill in search of the spot kick. Yep, the referee has changed his mind after a trip to the monitor \u2013 and Van de Ven is booked for his complaints.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

GOAL! Brentford 3-0 Sunderland (Yarmolyuk 73′)<\/h2>\n

Brentford make it three, Yegor Yarmolyuk tapping home from close range to compound a rare off-day for Sunderland.<\/p>\n

Spurs hit the post! <\/strong>Richarlison\u2019s header is this <\/em>close to getting Tottenham back on terms \u2013 and now they might have a penalty \u2026<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

Where to now? How about St James\u2019 Park, where half-time is rapidly approaching.<\/p>\n

\u201cA bit of a house derby in the Paraskevas home: my little brother is a Leeds fan and we\u2019re both up for this one. Although I\u2019m the one paying for our streaming subscription, so should he even be allowed to watch? No idea how Leeds aren\u2019t ahead, Newcastle have been very ordinary.\u201d<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

GOAL! Everton 1-1 Wolves (Man\u00e9 70′)<\/h2>\n

Oh, hello. Wolves\u2019 rising star, Mateus Man\u00e9, runs on to a through ball and fires past Pickford in front of the away fans, who serenade him to the tune of the Cranberries.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

GOAL! Brentford 2-0 Sunderland (Thiago 65′)<\/h2>\n

He simply cannot stop scoring. Moments after Le Fee\u2019s penalty aberration, Igor Thiago climbs to head home and put Brentford in charge. The hosts are fifth, Sunderland down to 11th as it stands.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Igor Thiago (centre) heads home for his, and Brentford\u2019s, second goal of the game.<\/span> Photograph: John Walton\/PA<\/span>Which he\u2019s pretty chuffed about.<\/span> Photograph: Shaun Botterill\/Getty ImagesShare<\/p>\n

GOAL! Newcastle 1-1 Leeds (Barnes 36′)<\/h2>\n

Leeds\u2019 lead lasts just four minutes as Harvey Barnes fires Newcastle level! That game kicked off at 8.15pm, so we\u2019re still in the first half.<\/p>\n

GOAL! Manchester City 1-1 Brighton (Mitoma 60′)<\/h2>\n

City are pegged back! It\u2019s Kaoru Mitoma who levels in style, sending his shot beyond Donnarumma and into the far corner. The City keeper is then booked for tussling with De Cuyper over the loose ball.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

GOAL! Newcastle 0-1 Leeds (Aaronson 32′)<\/h2>\n

Leeds deservedly go ahead at St James\u2019 Park, Brenden Aaronson slotting home from Calvert-Lewin\u2019s pass.<\/p>\n

GOAL! Fulham 1-0 Chelsea (Jim\u00e9nez 55′)<\/h2>\n

Please forget whatever it was I said about Chelsea just then. Fulham lead, a fine header from Ra\u00fal Jim\u00e9nez beating S\u00e1nchez at the near post.<\/p>\n

Penalty calamity for Sunderland!<\/h2>\n

This alone makes Match of the Day essential viewing tonight. Sunderland win a penalty and Enzo Le Fee steps up \u2026 but his attempted Panenka is read by Kelleher, who catches the ball and offers him a thumbs up. Painful to watch, tbh.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Oh no Enzo.<\/span> Photograph: Tony O Brien\/ReutersShare<\/p>\n

Updated at\u00a015.58 EST<\/p>\n

Fulham are dominating the ball as they try to break down a blue wall in front of them. This state of play might suit Chelsea in a weird way: they seem to thrive on adversity at times. With that, they break and Neto wins a corner which Hato heads over the bar.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith several games going on at once I\u2019ve been hopping between them, and managed to see several blatant cynical fouls,\u201d writes Mark Uribe. \u201cThese days, with teams having so many top players for all positions and five substitutions per game, taking a yellow card for the team really doesn\u2019t cost much. Can we please introduce sin bins?\u201d<\/p>\n

I would personally like to see it, if only for the added drama and histrionics. Stick \u2018em in the sin bin for pointlessly moaning about refereeing calls, while we\u2019re at it.<\/p>\n

In Serie A, Inter <\/strong>lead 1-0 at Parma at the break, and are on track to extend their lead at the top.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

We are back<\/em> in the 7.30pm kick-offs \u2013 no further goals anywhere so far.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no longer goalless at Burnley \u2013 Manchester United are behind.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also goalless at Burnley, where Daniel Harris is watching the Fletchera begin.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

Leeds have started brightly at Newcastle, in what I reckon might be the biggest game in England between one-club cities. Feel free to tell me I\u2019m wrong, of course.<\/p>\n

No goal! <\/strong>Harry Wilson slots home from 12 yards out \u2013 but Jimenez was just offside as he ran back to hold the ball up. Lucky for Chelsea\u2019s ragged back line, who almost played Fulham onside twice in that move.<\/p>\n

8.15pm games under way<\/h2>\n

Two more games, sure, why not? Burnley v Manchester United, and Newcastle v Leeds, are both up and running. You can follow events at Turf Moor with Daniel Harris:<\/p>\n

Antoine Semenyo is booked on what looks likely to be his final Bournemouth appearance. At Selhurst Park, Villa are having marginally the better of a scrappy game, but it remains goalless.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

Back at Craven Cottage, Cole Palmer stings Leno\u2019s palms with a shot from distance, before Smith Rowe goes close with his own effort from the edge of the area.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola was booked before the penalty was taken, and our man on the ground, Will Unwin<\/strong>, reports he had a heated exchange of words with Fabian Hurzeler.<\/p>\n

GOAL! Manchester City 1-0 Brighton (Haaland pen 40′)<\/h2>\n

Normal service resumed as Haaland slots the penalty home. There\u2019s a sense of relief around the Etihad, where City had really been struggling for inspiration.<\/p>\n

Penalty for Manchester City? <\/strong>VAR are checking Diego Gomez\u2019s challenge on Doku \u2013 it looks a pretty clear penalty, and Thomas Bramall points to the spot. A chance for Haaland to end his mini-drought \u2026<\/p>\n

No joy for Manchester City so far, with Brighton happy to soak up pressure. \u201cAre you going to mention all the empty seats at the Etihad?\u201d demands Alexis Panton. I\u2019d say you\u2019ve done it for me.<\/p>\n

GOAL! Brentford 1-0 Sunderland (Thiago 26′)<\/h2>\n

What\u2019s happening at the Gtech then? Well, the hosts have taken the lead through red-hot striker Igor Thiago, who runs onto a through ball, rounds Robin Roefs and slots home. That\u2019s his 15th league goal of the season \u2013 and Brentford are fifth as it stands.<\/p>\n
