      First half facts and figures
      Arsenal had 68% possession in the opening 45 minutes, but it’s Burnley who registered the most shots on target with all four of their attempts forcing Raya into saves.

      Half-time – Arsenal 1-0 Burnley
      Michael Oliver immediately blows his whistle and it’s a very different half-time break that now awaits Mikel Arteta, Vincent Kompany and 55,000 Arsenal fans.
      Burnley had contained the Gunners well in the opening 45 minutes but switched off in added time, and that was all Arteta’s men needed to nick a goal through Leandro Trossard.
      The Belgian’s strike may force the visitors to come out of their shell more in the second half – although they have threatened – and, in turn, that may present Arsenal with the chances to assert their superiority.
      Arsenal 1-0 Burnley
      45+1. Burnley had one minute of stoppage time to see out, but barely made to two seconds.
      The Clarets are finally undone by two brave pieces of play from Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard.
      Zinchenko tosses a hopeful cross into the penalty area, one met by Saka getting up impressively between two defenders.
      The England ace heads back across goal where Trossard arrives to nod home despite the immediate threat of James Trafford and the far post.
      In fact, the Belgian has taken a heavy blow off the frame of the goal in scoring, and requires treatment while his teammates celebrate.
      Either way, Arsenal are in front on the stroke of half-time.

      Breakthrough!

      Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
      45. The board goes up for one added minute before half-time.
      Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
      43. Arsenal were beginning to take a real grip of the contest midway through the second half, moving the ball about quicker in the final third and finding pockets of space.
      That seems to have stagnated now though with Trossard and Havertz the most guilty of slowing play down in their latest attack.
      Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
      41. Less than five minutes until half-time, and Vincent Kompany will be delighted if his side can make it with a clean sheet still in tact.
      A reminder that all four of the Clarets’ points this season have come away from home.
      Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
      39. This time Koleosho gives up possession with a crossfield pass straight to Jorginho.
      Thankfully for the Italian, five of his teammates come to his rescue by rapidly closing down Martinelli on the edge of the penalty area.

      Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
      37. The first signs of frustration creeping in for the home fans, as their latest roam forward is brought to an abrupt end by an offside flag.
      Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
      35. Trafford tips over again!
      Once again, Burnley are the architects of their own downfall, giving up possession in their own defensive third, and allow Arsenal to get to work.
      On the edge of the box, Trossard uses Martinelli’s run by not using him, and unleashes a shot that stings the Burnley goalkeeper’s hands.
      Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
      33. More possession and more corners for the Gunners.
      Martinelli tries his luck this time over on the left, but the Brazilian’s cross is comfortably dealt with in the air by the dominant Berge.
      Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
      31. Burnley go close to taking a shock lead!
      Gudmundsson squeezes between Zinchenko and Saliba to race on to Brownhill’s through ball, and strikes low.
      It looks destined for the bottom corner right until Raya gets down to his left to push away.
      An excellent save from the underfire goalkeeper.
      Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
      29. Trossard dances his way to the byline and wins corner number five for the hosts.
      Saka goes near post with his delivery once again, and this time it’s met by Havertz’s wayward header.
      Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
      28. Down the other end, Rodriguez gets a shot off but without the direction or power to test Raya.
      Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
      26. Trafford again shows off his reflexes with an acrobatic dive to claw Beyer’s header from off his own line.
      Not that it would have counted, the referee had already whistle for a foul against Saka, penalised for planting two hands on the back of Koleosho.
      Arsenal fans will tell you that’s not always given as a free-kick.
      Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
      24. Lovely stuff from Zinchenko, who crops up on the right as Arsenal’s fluid football takes hold.
      The Ukrainian’s smart trap and backheel releases Saka, whose low cross is intended for Trossard in the centre.
      The Belgian’s connection and then the follow-up shot from Havertz are both blocked by the brave defending of O’Shea.
      Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
      22. Saka is in the thick of the action again, this time going to ground inside the box on the left under the challenge of O’Shea.
      It wasn’t the cleanest coming together, but Michael Oliver is in the rice place to say no penalty – and it’s the right decision.
      However, it was a quick Arsenal break, sparked by Rice’s fine interception on the edge of his own area.
      Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
      20. Saka shoots! Trafford saves!
      Amdouni commits the cardinal sin of dithering on the ball in his own penalty area, and Saka steals in to strike first time.
      It’s heading for the top corner until the Burnley goalkeeper flies across his line to tip on to the bar and over.
      Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
      18. In fact, it’s worth remembering that the last time Burnley came here in January 2022, Mikel Arteta’s Gunners were booed after a 0-0 draw off despite recording 20 shots at goal and 76% possession.
      Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
      17. Arsenal have bossed the ball, clocking up 67% possession so far, but so far there has been little attacking threat.
      Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
      15. Saliba tries to pick out the run of Rice with a lofted pass over the top, but Trafford rushes off his line to claim.
      That will be a much-needed confident boost for the young keeper.
      Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
      13. Trossard and Martinelli combine well on the left to open up some space inside the penalty area, but before they can exploit it, the assistant referee’s flag goes up for offside.
      Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
      11. Burnley continue to sit deep. but they are actually defending quite well in the face of Arsenal attacks.
      It’s only when in possession that the visitors look a concern.
      Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
      9. Have Burnley brought their drummer with them to London?
      There’s certainly a bassey-kettle feel to the noise emanating from the away section of the Emirates.
      Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
      7. A strong response from Burnley.
      There’s some good fortune as referee Michael Oliver interferes with play in midfield, but then Amdouni takes charge with menace.
      Driving at the the home defence, the striker lets fly from 20 yards with a shot that Raya is required to push behind. More

      Man Utd 0 Luton 0
      47. McTominay takes an arm to the face from Morris on halfway.
      Scrappy couple of minutes and the game has to stop for a moment. The Scot will be fine though.
      Man Utd 0 Luton 0
      We’re back under way as the visitors kick us off in the second half.
      Here they come
      The players are back out and ready to go.
      Without putting too fine a point on it – this is a seismic 45 minutes for Erik ten Hag.
      Sergio driving
      Sergio Reguilon is almost playing as a second winger for United.
      He’s been probably the most involved player of the half and you can see how high up the pitch he’s able to get.

      Elsewhere…
      There’s two other Premier League games at 3pm this afternoon.
      Arsenal 1 Burnley 0
      Crystal Palace 1 Everton 1
      Domination
      United are dominating every aspect of this one – bar the scoreline and shots on target.
      Which just about sums up their issues at the moment…

      Half time report
      For all their huff and puff, United have nothing to show for it at half time.
      They’ve created enough chances and it looks like a team with a front three who just can’t seem to score at the minute.
      Luton have defended really well and their game plan has worked to this point.
      If it wasn’t for an outstanding Onana save from Morris’ header, they could actually have found themselves in front.
      Much for Ten Hag to ponder at the interval.
      HALF TIME
      Indeed that was it for the first half.
      Somehow, we’re goalless at the break.
      MAN UTD 0 LUTON 0

      Man Utd 0 Luton 0
      47′ Another Garnacho cross but Lockyer scoops that one clear.
      That will likely be that in terms of the opening 45 minutes.
      Man Utd 0 Luton 0
      44. There’ll be two added minutes.
      Man Utd 0 Luton 0
      43. Sacked in the morning the chants coming from the away fans – and I’m assuming it’s not aimed at Rob Edwards.
      Garnacho’s latest cross is low but Hojlund can’t get it under control.
      Man Utd 0 Luton 0
      41. Another HUGE chance for United and they still can’t score.
      Hojlund’s link-up is brilliant and he finds Garnacho in ACRES of space inside the box.
      Unfortunately, he takes four touches to get the ball under control before taking it round the keeper and sending a weak shot towards goal – where Luton had four retreating defenders to clear it.
      Man Utd 0 Luton 0
      39. Eriksen hasn’t been able to shrug that knee injury off unfortunately.
      He’s back down on the turf again and is set to be replaced.

      OFF – Eriksen
      ON – Mount

      Man Utd 0 Luton 0
      37. Townsend’s follow-up shot from the edge is easily saved by the keeper.
      Fernandes tries to force a pass down the other end but it drifts for a goal kick.
      WHAT A SAVE!!
      Luton very nearly take the lead!!
      A cross from the right finds Morris 10 yards out and his free header is heading for the bottom corner but for the outstretched arm of Onana.
      Morris thought he’d scored but excellent goalkeeping!
      Man Utd 0 Luton 0
      34. Another Maguire switch finds Garnacho in space on the left.
      He cuts inside and finds Fernandes on the edge of the box but his shot is blocked this time.
      Man Utd 0 Luton 0
      32. Eriksen slips in the middle of the park and is clutching at his knee.
      He does get back to his feet but it would’ve been an anxious time for Ten Hag with their injury record at present.
      VAR CHECK
      Possible penalty….
      Lockyer grabbing Maguire from the subsequent corner and the pair hit the deck.
      No penalty….
      Man Utd 0 Luton 0
      CLOSE!
      30. Fernandes’ deep corner finds Rashford alone at the back post. He smashes it back across and it hits Osho and flies just wide.
      Another corner.
      Man Utd 0 Luton 0
      29. Patient play from United with 21 players within 35 yards of Luton’s goal.
      Garnacho and Reguilon link up well and the former wins a corner.
      Man Utd 0 Luton 0
      25. Another Luton corner and this one is an inswinger. Not dealt with at the first attempt from United.
      Eventually, Fernandes gets on it and sends Eriksen on the counter but he has no-one to hit and they’re back in safe possesion.

      Man Utd 0 Luton 0
      24. Another United chance. Fernandes gets a yard of space on the edge of the box and smashes it towards goal.
      Again, it flies just over.
      Man Utd 0 Luton 0
      23. A sensational ball in from Fernandes on the left, curling in towards the back post.
      Hojlund couldn’t get there and Rashford was caught on his heels at the back post and it drifts just wide.
      Man Utd 0 Luton 0
      21. Ogbene gets Luton’s first attempt at goal.
      A routine stop from Onana as the shot is fired straight at him from the egde of the area.
      Man Utd 0 Luton 0
      21. Another good chance for Man Utd.
      Maguire with a big diagonal switch to the left where Garnacho collects. Good feet from the winger to drive inside before driving a shot a couple of yards over from inside the area. More

      Wolves 2 Tottenham 1: More agony for Spurs as two-injury time strikes complete dramatic comeback for hosts

      by

      WHEN it rains, it pours.Ange Postecoglou, robbed of key men to injury and suspension, looked like he would pull of an impressive victory at Molineux with his patched-up side, thanks to Brennan Johnson’s early strike.

      But their bad luck kept on coming as they somehow lost thanks to TWO injury-time goals.
      The first was a stunner from supersub Pablo Sarabia, belting into the near post.
      Sarabia then turned provider on 90+7 as he crossed for Mario Lemina to turn home.
      It sent Molineux potty as the coaching staff ran onto the pitch in celebration as Postecoglou was forced to “cop it”, as the Aussie would say.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      It was certainly rough, given how his injury and suspension-hit side had coped for the majority of the game.
      All eyes were on how Wolves might expose the Aussie’s patched-up defence that was considerably slower without the jet-heeled Van de Ven.
      But Gary O’Neil’s men barely had the ball in the opening exchanges, and could do little more than watch as Johnson completed a fine team goal for the visitors.
      It was the £47.5million summer signing’s first Spurs strike and it was he who began the move when picking it up out wide.

      Eventually the ball came to Dejan Kulusevski who slipped in Pedro Porro with a clever flick round the back of Wolves’ backline.
      The Spaniard then picked out Johnson was lurking in the six-yard area to tuck away his first goal since netting for Nottingham Forest in their 1-1 draw with Wolves on April Fool’s Day.
      Johnson was the man sacrificed around the half hour when Cristian Romero was sent off in Monday’s catastrophic defeat to Chelsea.
      It was a shame for the Welshman who had looked to have justified his place ahead of Richarlison – who is now out for a month at least after groin surgery – with an exciting cameo down the left.
      Every time the ball came to Johnson in those early stage against the Blues – before it all went so wrong – you could feel the electricity of expectation among the fans that the 22-year-old might make something happen.
      His selection feels like the next progression in this Postecoglou side, though sadly he will have to do it without Maddison for the foreseeable future.
      Postecoglou was asked on Friday if he would be tempted to rein in his attacking approach for this game given his lengthy absentee list.

      Tottenham waste no time in taking the lead at Molineux 💥Brennan Johnson gets his first goal in a Spurs shirt… what about that lay-off from Dejan Kulusevski 🤤 pic.twitter.com/qqIEjWpwdt— Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) November 11, 2023

      His witty retort was that apart from chocolate, he was pretty good at resisting temptation, and indeed he stuck with his high line despite Dier and Davies’ relative lack of pace.
      And really, that pairing was untroubled for most of the first half, barring the odd moment.
      Davies put in a good block to deflect an Rayan Ait-Nouri’s shot, while the ever-dependable Guglielmo Vicario pushed wide Mario Lemina’s drive.
      Postecoglou’s selection headache was made worse just before half-time as Yves Bissouma was booked for catching Mario Lemina.
      You could tell from the Malian’s face that he instantly knew what it meant: a one-game ban for reaching five yellow cards, ruling him out of Aston Villa at home after the international break.
      O’Neil’s men pushed for a leveller at the break with Jean-Ricner Bellegarde blazing over and Dier blocking well to deny Matheus Cunha.

      Their best chance fell to the in-form Hwang Hee-Chan, who suddenly found himself with a clear sight of goal when Joao Gomes’ deflected shot fell to him, but the South Korean fired wide.
      Bissouma was a tad fortunate not to pick up a second yellow with a late tackle and Postecoglou responded by subbing him for Gio Lo Celso.
      The Argentine had been the most like-for-like replacement for Maddison but the fact he did not start here does not bode well for his long-term future.
      Wolves brought on battering ram Sasa Kalajdzic towards the end and the 6ft7ins Austrian should have done better with a free header.
      Jose Sa then pulled off a fine sprawling save to deny Lo Celso from wrapping up the three points.
      It proved to be a vital intervention as just into injury time, sub Sarabia took centre-stage.
      His goal was a thing of beauty, as he controlled Matheus Cunha’s pass with his right foot and then crashed in a volley with his left in the same movement.
      Sarabia was mobbed by his team-mates in the corner of the Stan Cullis Stand – but there was more to come.
      The Spaniard fired in a cross deep into injury time and Lemina got the faintest of touches to find the corner – and KO Postecoglou’s walking wounded.

      The Hove audience was hushed in round eight when it looked like their hero was hurt and struggling. But he sparked back into life and action and left Schwarzkopf buzzed just before the bell.
      The championship rounds seemed to be slipping away sleepily into the Sussex night.

      The brave visitor bounced back up off the canvas but the action was expertly waved off before he was hurt further.

      Harlem Eubank got Brighton boxing its first home win in 32 years with uncle Chris Sr proudly in his corner.
      The iconic seaside town and long-time home of the Eubank fighting family had been starved of big-time boxing since British ring legend Chris Sr’s 1991 win over Dan Sherry at the Brighton Centre.
      But his nephew returned to the same spot to outpoint dogged German visitor Timo Schwarzkopf and pay his father and former fighter Simon – who sadly died in September – a touching tribute.
      The championship rounds seemed to be slipping away sleepily in to the Sussex night but at 11:05pm Eubank landed a peach of right hook and robbed Schwarzkopf of his senses and balance.

      Eubank is on his way to a big win in front of his home crowd.
      But he has already had a point taken off.
      Will he get the statement over in the fight’s closing stages?

      Eubank vs Schwarzkopf R8
      The Hove audience was hushed in round eight when it looked like their hero was hurt and struggling.
      But he sparked back into life and action and left Schwarzkopf buzzed just before the bell.
      Eubank vs Schwarzkopf R7
      It felt like Eubank’s engine started to flag in the second half of the fight.
      While Schwarzkopf had a warehouse full of kitchen sinks to chuck in his direction well beyond closing time.
      Eubank vs Schwarzkopf R6
      Kosovo-born Schwarzkopf never slopped slugging into the sixth and Eubank had to show a solid chin as well as tight defence.
      We now head into the second half of the fight.
      Eubank vs Schwarzkopf R5
      Eubank lost a point on the fifth for low blows, it seemed harsh as they were clearly accidental but he had been warned by ref John Latham.
      Gifted a big advantage, Schwarzkopf got greedy and punished with two slashing uppercuts through his guard right on the bell.
      Eubank vs Schwarzkopf R4
      Schwarzkopf, never stopped in 27 previous bouts, recovered for the fourth but kept getting stabbed by long rangy straight shots and chinned by close-up hooks and uppercuts.
      Eubank was warned he would have a point taken off if one more low point.
      A spirited round for the German there.
      Eubank vs Schwarzkopf R3 analysis
      Eubank’s childhood karate titles have left him with exciting and unorthodox footwork and it opened up a beautiful third-round knockdown.
      A superb chance of angles set-up an uppercut that stunned Schwarzkopf, turned  his legs turned to jelly before his top half folded down upon his limbs.
      The underdog did well to rise and recover while shipping more digs and hurling the odd haymaker back before the bell saved him.

      Eubank vs Schwarzkopf R3
      Schwarzkopf is DOWN from a chopping right hand!
      The German makes the count at right and then Eubank piles on the pressure.
      But the Brighton ace cannot end it..just yet.
      Huge round there for Eubank.
      Eubank vs Scwarzkopf  R2
      Baritone choruses of “You Bank” echoed around the Centre in the second round, just like in his uncle’s 1990’s golden era.
      And another round in the bank for the home favourite.
      But he is being made to work for this.
      Eubank vs Scwarzkopf R1
      Schwarzkopf kicked off the action with a looping right hand that landed and showed off Eubank’s genetic grit around the jaw.
      The Brit eased into the contest and scored with impressive body shots, he also showed clever and forceful ring skills, moving the elder veteran around.
      Schwarzkopf even hit the deck when the pair collided but the referee rightly ruled it a slip.

      Eubank vs Schwarzkopf ring walks
      Out comes Timo Schwarzkopf first to boos from the Brighton crowd.
      The German does not look intimidated one bit though.
      Here comes Harlem Eubank, flanked by uncle Chris Sr.
      Harlem nearly made it in a different sport
      Harlem was a Seagulls academy prospect and a karate world champion, who avoided boxing for the first 18 years of his life because of the burden that comes with following in famous footsteps.
      But now the deep-thinking fighter – who sadly lost father Simon in September after a devastating battle with dementia – concedes it was probably a pre-written path for him.
      He explained: “Sometimes, when you look back on life, it seems what you are meant to do is already laid out for you.
      “My whole family boxed, dad, uncles, cousins. It must just be something that runs deep in our blood.
      “I stopped wrestling with the idea of wanting to do this and accepted the idea that I am meant to do this.”
      What Harlem Eubank said
      On the famous pier, Harlem told SunSport before tonight’s fight: “I wasn’t around when my uncle boxed there, my first memory of the Centre was seeing the Harlem Globetrotters there and later the Brighton Bears, lots of basketball.
      “This is a great chance to see all my people there; family, friends, fellow Brightonians.
      “I have been fighting on the road for a long time now, Newcastle, Edinburgh, London and now I have this chance to fight in the city where I grew up, that shaped me, helped to give me art, culture and creativity.
      “It’s really special for me to do this because, while the football club is doing incredibly well and shining a light for the city, there isn’t much other mainstream sporting attention on us. So I aim to do everyone proud.
      “I have told my uncle before how inspired I have been by what he has done and I am sure I will tell him again just before my fight.”
      Harlem Eubank up next
      Harlem Eubank will be the latest family Globetrotter to bring big-time boxing home to the Brighton Centre in mere minutes.
      The 29-year-old super-lightweight is headlining a show in the iconic seaside city for the first time in 32 years – since uncle Chris Sr in the very same spot.
      The little cousin to Chris Jr wasn’t even alive to watch Sr’s 1991 first defence of the middleweight world title he had won from bitter nemesis Nigel Benn three months earlier.
      But the venue has become a spiritual hub for the family and they return to take over the 5,000-seater for the Channel 5 clash with Timo Schwarzkopf.
      Mind the gap
      About 20 minutes of my life to literally waste now.
      No float fight, no trip to the bar, no nothing.
      Just an agonising wait until 10pm when the Channel 5 show will start and Harlem Eubank will fight.
      What the hell on earth should I do?
      Richards wins decision
      After eight impossible-to-watch rounds, Lerrone Richards puts the Brighton crowd to sleep but not his opponent.
      The slickest of talents but a steafast refusal to ever even consider leaving second gear.
      Buzz kill.
      Richards vs Ellison R5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
      You know the drill by now; Richards boxes beautifully out of the southpaw stance, counter punches to perfection, bobs, weaves, slips, slides, wins on points.
      But nobody saw it because they were all at the bar or toilet.
      I am pretty sure I saw one bloke polish his shoes during a couple of rounds.
      Masterful pugilism. But dull as dishwater.
      Richards vs Ellison R4
      If you put Lerrone Richards in a 6-18-18-28 round fight, I think the outcome would always be the same.
      A unanimous decision win, barely a mark on him, a one-sided triumph.
      That shouldn’t be boring, but it really, really is.
      Even Mickey Ellison looks disinterested and he’s getting punched in the head every 10 seconds.
      Richards vs Ellison R2
      Ellison’s face is already showing signs of abuse without Richards looking like he’s broken sweat.
      But the Blackburn lad is here to cause a massive upset and is chasing Richards around the ring throwing shots.
      But the Londoner is making him miss and making him pay.
      Richards vs Ellison R1
      Typically crisp and accurate counter-punching from Richards.
      But nothing that will grab attention.
      The boy is talented but has a bad habit for coasting.
      Richards vs Ellison R1
      AFC Wimbledon fan Lerrone Richards will restart his career again tonight against 14-5 Ellison.
      The Carshalton lad is caked with talent but has had a nomadic start, moving trainers and promoters too much, too soon.
      Richards will win well here but at 17-0 he should be on live TV and fighting for titles.
      Welch wins TKO R4
      Vergara down again.
      Welch scores the hat-trick.
      Vergara beats the count again but takes another pasting and the towel rightly comes in to save him.
      Welch vs Vergara 4
      All hail the courage of Jonathan Vergara who was dropped twice in the opening round but has now started the fourth.
      The bullish Argie is still throwing big shots – he’s missing by country miles, but boy is he hurling them.
      Welch in cruise control but a decision will not look good after such a bright start. More
