Southampton or Marco Asensio at taking penalties?Copy linkCopiedFull time – Nott’m Forest 0-1 EvertonLate, late drama at the City Ground, and Forest have fallen to a second successive defeat. A big win for the Toffees.Copy linkCopiedGOAL! Southampton 0-3 Aston Villa90+4. Marco Asensio has a second penalty saved by Aaron Ramsdale – but John McGinn converts the rebound for 3-0!The Spanish forward turns away in disgust before his captain even follows up for the third, and looks absolutely furious with himself.Copy linkCopiedGOAL! Nott’m Forest 0-1 Everton90+4. Abdoulaye Doucoure has won it!!A tired Murillo gets caught in possession just inside his own half, presenting Dwight McNeil with space to bomb forward.The winger looks up and plays in Doucoure on the left, who takes a fine first touch and then sweeps past Matz Sels and int the roof of the net.It’s a hammer blow for Nottingham Forest and their Champions League aspirations!Copy linkCopiedBrighton 2-2 Leicester87. Leicester go so close to a winner! The Foxes have their tails up and come flying forward with Bilal El Khannouss.The Moroccan comes inside on to his right foot and curls a shot on to the base of the far post.Copy linkCopiedNott’m Forest 0-0 Everton87. There’s a VAR check ongoing for a possible Everton penalty, but don’t get too excited – I can see from here that the challenge on Beto doesn’t meet the threshold for overturning the on field decision.Oh, and it was probably outside the box too.Copy linkCopiedNott’m Forest 0-0 Everton83. Inside the final ten minutes at the City Ground, and is it a grandstand finish?Well, in a word, no.Copy linkCopiedGOAL! Southampton 0-2 Aston Villa79. Another substitute, another goal! What a squad Unai Emery is building at Aston Villa!A clever through ball from Morgan Rogers dissects the Southampton defence, allowing Donyell Malen to race through and rocket a shot past Aaron Ramsdale.It’s three in three Premier League games for the former Dortmund ace!Copy linkCopiedGOAL! Brighton 2-2 Leicester74. Leicester have done it again!Admittedly, they’ve been helped here by some slack defending from Brighton, who completely switch off when Bilal El Khannoussi swings over a free-kick from the right.It gives Memeh Okoli a free run into the six-yard box and, having timed his run to beat the offside trap, heads powerfully past Bart Verbruggen.Copy linkCopiedGOAL! Southampton 0-1 Aston Villa73. Aston Villa are in front now!And it’s that man, Ollie Watkins, off the bench to break the deadlock.The pass over the top from Youri Tielemans is glorious, and the substitute timed his run perfectly to poke a volley past Aaron Ramsdale and in off the underside of the crossbar.Copy linkCopiedSouthampton 0-0 Aston Villa69. Aaron Ramsdale saves Marco Asensio’s penalty!It’s a brilliant stop from the Saints keeper, who dives to his left and pushes out the Spaniard’s spotkick.The penalty was won by Ollie Watkins, only just on as a substitute, after he raced into the area and was brought down by former teammate Jan Bednarek.But rather than the striker taking it – or even Youri Tielemans – the ball was handed to Asensio, and he promptly spurned the chance to break the deadlock.Copy linkCopiedNott’m Forest 0-0 Everton60. There hasn’t been much of an improvement in the standard at the City Ground.Chris Wood has at least livened things up with a dive inside the six-yard box so unconvincing that he could hardly bring himself to look at the referee, let alone appeal to him.Copy linkCopiedGOAL! Brighton 2-1 Leicester55. For the second time this afternoon, Darren Bond has been sent to the pitchside monitor by VAR to award a Brighton penalty that really should have been awarded the first time round.Matt O’Riley clearly had his shirt pulled by Luke Thomas as he took aim at Mads Hermansen’s goal.Once again, Joao Pedro isn’t put off by the lengthy theatre of it all, and when the moment comes, he slams a superb spotkick into the top corner for his second of the afternoon.Copy linkCopiedSouthampton 0-0 Aston Villa51. Amadou Onana stings the palms of Aaron Ramsdale with a rasping effort from 25 yards.Unai Emery made no changes at half-time despite that huge Champions League clash with PSG looming on the horizon.Copy linkCopiedNott’m Forest 0-0 Everton47, The home fans at the City Ground are doing all they can to rouse their team as they attack the Trent End in the second half.This already has the makings of a one-goal game.Copy linkCopiedFrom Graeme Bryce at the City GroundWhat has happened to Nottingham Forest’s swashbuckling style?That’s been the most turgid 45 minutes I’ve sat through this season.Callum Hudson-Odoi did manage to sting Pickford’s palms with a fiercely hit shot in first-half stoppage time.But most fans would have rather spent 45 minutes having root canal treatment than suffer more of the same in the second half.Forest’s swash has definitely buckled here.Meanwhile Everton have dominated possession but still don’t look like they could score for Toffees!Copy linkCopiedFrom Ian Winrow at the AmexWell it had to happen sometime.Leicester have finally scored but Brighton will wonder how they have reached half time with only Joao Pedro’s penalty to their name. Copy linkCopiedHalf-time – Brighton 1-1 LeicesterThe afternoon’s third Premier League game is also level at half-time, although we have at least seen two goals – one of which was Leicester’s first in FOREVER.Brighton have had plenty of chances, and will be frustrated not to be well ahead.Copy linkCopiedFrom Rob Maul at St Mary’s0-0 at St Mary’s. A frustrating first half for Aston Villa. Even the away fans who had been in good voice at the start have quietened down.Southampton players have left one or two late feet on their opposing numbers. Villa need some quality later on. They will not want to head to the Champions Leaguer quarter-final second leg with PSG having to mend some bruised bodies. Their big names need to produce in the next 45 minutes.Copy linkCopiedHalf-time – Southampton 0-0 Aston VillaIt’s also goalless at St Mary’s, but not for the want of trying.Villa have recorded 12 shots in the first half although only three have been on target.The bottom club – managed today by Simon Rusk – are so far holding firm.Copy linkCopiedHalf-time – Nott’m Forest 0-0 EvertonA poor first 45 at the City Ground.Surely it can only get better in the second half.Copy linkCopiedBrighton 1-1 Leicester42. Fabian Hurzeler’s side should be back in front.Matt O’Riley, presented with a clear opportunity, fluffed his lines at the vital moment. Blimey.Copy linkCopiedGOAL! Brighton 1-1 Leicester38. Hold the back page! Leicester City have scored a goal!Stephy Mavididi has bagged the Foxes’ first in more than 13 hours of football, and it brings them level in Brighton.A loose touch from Lewis Dunk on halfway allows the visitors to spring three-on-two, and when the Brighton captain tries to make amends he deflects Mavididi’s first shot straight back to him.At the second attempt, the Leicester forward drills it through the legs of Bart Vebruggen, and – against all odds – it’s 1-1.Copy linkCopiedFrom Rob Maul at St Mary’sYouri Tielemans is one of Aston Villa’s most creative and decisive players and it was ball over the top that found Marcus Rashford inside the first minute (the Marcus Rashford shot was blocked by Southampton defender Jan Bednarek).Yet he took a whack on his ankle and it will be interesting to see if he can last the pace. Villa fans are in good voice here. Southampton have had one decent chance in the first half so far but Emiliano Martinez saved from Cameron Archer on 16 minutes.Copy linkCopied More
