      Everton 0-0 Arsenal
      34. Fabio Vieira has gone down now after a coming together with Beto that saw the midfielder take an arm to the mouth.
      Only one winner there, I’m afraid.
      Everton 0-0 Arsenal
      32. It does feel as though the disallowed goal combined with Martinelli’s injury has taken the impetus out of Arsenal’s performance.
      They need something to spark them back into life.
      Everton 0-0 Arsenal
      30. A driving run into the box by Doucoure has Everton asking for a penalty.
      They’re absolutely kidding themselves though with the Malian midfielder already on his way down long before Saliba stuck out and then withdrew his leg.
      Simon Hooper is unmoved, and his only mistake is not booking Doucoure for diving.
      Everton 0-0 Arsenal
      28. The hosts start to come forward for the first time with Beto attempting to outmuscle the Arsenal centre-backs.
      He has no joy on this occasion, but seconds later Raya is drawn into action for the first time, plucking Young’s cross out of the sky.
      Everton 0-0 Arsenal
      26. Despite the upheaval of losing a player, Arsenal’s dominance continues.
      Rice twists and turns inside the penalty area, but his shot is blocked.
      Everton 0-0 Arsenal – Arsenal substitution
      24. Sure enough, Martinelli makes way and is replaced by Leandro Trossard.
      A real blow for the Gunners.
      Everton 0-0 Arsenal
      22. Meanwhile, Gabriel Martinelli’s afternoon has taken a further turn for the worse.
      The Brazilian has gone down off the ball, and doesn’t look as though he’ll be able to continue.
      Everton 0-0 Arsenal
      20. Debate is raging!
      Gabriel Martinelli races through to cooly convert and put Arsenal in the lead.
      Or so he thinks.
      After a lengthy VAR check, the goal has been ruled out for offside.
      It’s Eddie Nketiah who has been penalised with the striker adjudged to be ahead of Vitaliy Mykolenko when the ball came through to him in the build-up.
      However, it’s marginal, and just like Alejandro Garnacho’s goal at the Emirates, the angle being used by the video officials to check doesn’t look the best.
      Furthermore, the pass to Nketiah from Gabriel wasn’t a clean one, and actually came off Everton’s Beto last.
      This will be an argument that runs and runs.

      Everton 0-0 Arsenal
      18. White. Rice. White. Rice. White.
      A cross to the backpost for Vieira stops me thinking about my dinner options, and instead has me chuckling at the midfielder for miscuing his volley.
      Everton 0-0 Arsenal
      16. Arsenal have so far registered 16 successful passes in the final third.
      Everton? Just the one, dear.
      Everton 0-0 Arsenal
      14. Saka sparks a break by nutmegging Mykolenko on the touchline, but soon he and Odegaard are crowded out by five blue shirts – and Doucoure comes away with the ball.
      Everton 0-0 Arsenal
      12. Jeers ring out from the Gwladys Street End for the first time today (but undoubtedly not the last).
      The home fans are not happy after Nketiah left one on Pickford in pursuit of Braithwaite’s short backpass.
      In truth, there’s little in it, and Simon Hooper does well just to calm the situation down.
      Everton 0-0 Arsenal
      10. The second corner is half-cleared towards Vieira outside the box.
      The young Portuguese star fancies his chances with a drop of the shoulder, but blasts his shot high and wide of Pickford’s goal.
      Everton 0-0 Arsenal
      9. Less assured from Branthwaite on his occasion, who should comfortably deal with a loose ball following Arsenal’s corner.
      Instead, he wellies it straight into the back of Young and behind for another corner kick to the visitors.
      Everton 0-0 Arsenal
      8. Alert covering from Branthwaite slides the ball out for a corner after McNeil had his pocket picked by Odegaard.
      Everton 0-0 Arsenal
      6. Unsurprisingly, it’s the visitors that have taken control of possession early on.
      As of yet, there’s been no opportunity for Beto to show the Goodison crowd what he can do.
      Everton 0-0 Arsenal
      4. Young impresses again, this time up against the pace and guile of Martinelli.
      The Premier League veteran even manages to force the ball against his opponent to win a goalkick.
      Everton 0-0 Arsenal
      3. A first corner of the game is floated towards the near post by Bukayo Saka, and confidently headed clear by this fixture’s matchwinner last season, James Tarkowski.
      Everton 0-0 Arsenal
      2. Some promising early play take Arsenal across the pitch from right to left.
      That is until Zinchenko’s through ball is keenly cut out by the youthful zest of 38-year-old Ashley Young.
      Kick-off – Everton v Arsenal
      1. Game on! It’s the Premier League runners-up that get the action underway at Goodison.
      A traditional game, and traditional colours too; Everton are in blue and white, Arsenal are in red and white.
      Here come the two teams!
      The theme tune to Z-Cars rings around Goodison Park, which means the players of Everton and Arsenal are emerging from the tunnel at this famous old stadium.
      And after all the talk off the pitch this week, the Toffees will be keen to get back to matters on it – despite their poor start to the season.
      But standing in their way are one of the best sides in the country, and there can be no greater incentive for the Gunners than going level on points with Tottenham should they win.
      It’s all set up for an intriguing afternoon, and kick-off on Merseyside comes next.
      Century up for Gabriel
      Gabriel is back in the Arsenal team, and today will make his 100th Premier League appearance for the Gunners.
      The Brazilian made his debut for the Londoners back in September 2020, scoring in a 3-0 win away at Fulham.

      Added Firepower
      Sean Dyche has been handed a huge boost this afternoon with striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin returning to the squad.
      The Toffees have struggled for goals in the opening four games of the season.

      Raya IN
      Mikel Arteta has opted with Brentford loanee David Raya between the sticks at Goodison this afternoon.
      It will be the Spaniard’s first start for the Gunners since he made the switch to the Emirates this summer.

      Goodbye from that south coast
      That’s all from us here at Bournemouth but there’s still more Premier League football to come this afternoon.
      We’re now at Goodison Park for Everton versus Arsenal, and you can follow all the action live.
      From the Vitality Stadium, thanks for joining us and goodbye.
      Match stats from the Vitality Stadium
      Twenty-seven shots on goal but no breakthrough.

      Full time – Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea
      Better late than never, David Coote calls time at the Vitality Stadium, and boos ring out from the away section.
      It was a game of much huff and puff, occasional promise, but a real lack of attacking quality. Indeed, goalkeepers Neto and Robert Sanchez were arguably their team’s best performers.
      Bournemouth remain without a win under Androni Iraola, but will be buoyed by their workrate and performance.
      For Chelsea, it’s now their second worst start to a Premier League season, and questions will continue to be asked.
      Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea
      90+7. Chelsea win a corner.
      Alan Smith chooses this moment to remind everyone that Bournemouth conceded the most goals from corners in the Premier League last season.
      Perhaps he should have reminded the Chelsea players, who instead play it short and waste the opportunity for a late smash and grab.
      Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea
      90+4. The home side waste a free-kick by playing it too long, and now it feels as though both sets of players have settled for a point, a handshake, and a chuckle about where the referee got eight minutes of stoppage time from.
      Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea
      90+2. Gusto has spent much of the second half lying on the track off the pitch, having failed to keep in a cross,
      Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea
      90. The board goes up to signal EIGHT minutes of additional time.
      Nobody is really sure why other than it being the fashion these days, but it gives both sides more time to find that elusive winner.
      Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea – Bournemouth substitution
      88. Here comes David Brooks.
      The Welshman is on for Ryan Christie. Can he continue his goalscoring form in typically heroic fashion?
      Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea
      86. It’s a pulsating end to this clash on the south coast.
      Both sides believe they can still win this, mainly due to the incompetence of their opponents.
      Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea
      84. How is this still goalless?!
      Moments after Jackson had wasted a glorious chance by not knowing how to head a football, Cole Palmer sparks another Chelsea attack.
      The youngster overcooks a pass in the direction of his former Manchester City colleague Raheem Sterling, but does get a shot away when Sterling returns the pass.
      Neto makes a fine save, and then Marcos Senesi does superbly well to block Ian Maatsen’s follow-up.
      Bournemouth immediately break, only for Dominic Solanke to miscontrol at the vital moment.
      Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea
      82. One of the Chelsea coaches – perhaps Toni Jimenez – has been booked for venting his frustration at the match officials.
      Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea – Chelsea double substitution
      81. Two changes for Chelsea for the final ten minutes.
      Ben Chilwell and Ian Maatsen are on in place of Levi Colwill and Enzo Fernandez.
      Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea
      79, Bournemouth believe they can win this!
      Inside the box, Kluivert tees up Solanke, who takes a nice touch to evade Gallagher and then strikes low.
      Diving away from the ball, Sanchez sticks a leg out and somehow keeps it out brilliantly.

      Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea
      77. Eventually, after much jostling in the wall, Billing takes charge of the set-piece.
      He drills it hard and low, his strike deflecting off Gallagher and flashing wide.
      Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea – Disasi yellow card
      75. Justin Kluivert’s darting run towards the penalty area is brought to a shuddering halt by the challenge of Axel Disasi.
      David Coote immediately blows his whistle and shows the Chelsea defender a yellow card, and the Bournemouth fans behind the goal think they have a spotkick.
      However, the referee quickly clarifies that the offence took place inches outside the box.
      Still, this is a big chance and a big moment in the game.
      Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea – Bournemouth double substitution
      73. Two more changes for the hosts, one in attack, one in defence.
      Androni Iraola throws on Luis Sinisterra for Marcus Tavernier while Marcos Senesi takes over from Milos Kerkez.
      Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea
      71. Kluivert teases Gusto into making a clumsy challenge out wide, and Bournemouth have a free-kick in a promising position.
      Cook delivers it with pace, but neither Billing nor Kelly can divert it goalwards.
      Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea
      70. Twenty to go, and it’s still 0-0.
      Who wants it, lads?! LADS?!
      Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea
      68. Chelsea start to turn the screw.
      Sterling, Jackson and Palmer are all finding space in behind the Bournemouth defence, and the opener is beginning to feel inevitable.
      Mind you, we’ve been here before.
      Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea
      66. Bournemouth survive again.
      Jackson slides in a cross from the left byline, and somehow Neto manages to scoop the ball away from the toe of Colwill.
      A short scramble later and the home side manage to clear.

      Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea – Bournemouth substitution
      64. And on comes Justin Kluivert too.
      The Dutch winger replaces Dango Ouattara in the Bournemouth attack.
      Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea – Chelsea substitution
      63. Cole Palmer is on for Mykhailo Mudryk.
      The former Manchester City man has just under half an hour to make an impact.

      Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea – Kerkez yellow card
      61. There are ironic cheers from the Chelsea fans as David Coote finally punishes a Bournemouth player with a booking.
      Milos Kerkez receives a yellow card for wrestling Sterling to the floor.
      Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea
      60. Sterling speeds into the box, but he’s too quick for the ball that somehow gets caught up between his legs.
      Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea
      58. Bournemouth’s bench has send Luis Sinisterra and Justin Kluivert out to warm-up.
      We may be in line for our first changes this afternoon.

      His battle with Herrando continues as the defender falls with an elbow to the face.
      Getafe 2-2 Osasuna
      73. The atmosphere is getting more raucous with Latasa’s physicality now causing problems.
      The big target man holds off two defenders and eventually gets a foul as he is pulled too much sending him tumbling to the floor.
      Latasa is proving key with his hold-up play.
      Getafe 2-2 Osasuna
      71. Barja and R.Garcia go off for Amaiz and Avila.
      Getafe still have two changes to use as Greenwood waits.

      Spaniard gets his just desserts
      Carlos Sainz is awarded with the Driver of the Day award.
      On reflection it was completely deserved as he used Lando Norris as a tool to ensure that Norris kept both of the Mercedes cars away from challenging him.
      They used to drive together and today they worked as a team to keep their podium places.

      Singapore Grand Prix results
      Here is how we finished in Singapore with Russell going into the barriers on one of the final turns:

      Carlos Sainz (Ferrari)
      Lando Norris (Alpine)
      Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes)
      Charles Leclerc (Ferrari)
      Max Verstappen (Red Bull)

      It was a great drive by Lando Norris to hold off both of the Mercedes’ cars and he is in with a shout for driver of the day surely, although the eventual winner will be in with a good shout.
      Carlos Sainz wins the Singapore Grand Prix
      Lap 61/62 – Sainz leads, Norris second
      This is an amazing finish with 1.4 seconds between the front four cars.
      Sainz reports his front tyres are completely gone.
      Norris manages to hold off Russell, just.

      Lap 59/62 – Sainz leads, Norris second
      Both Mercedes have race leader Sainz in their sights.
      They have to try and deal with Lando Norris firstly though.
      Verstappen has managed to move up to sixth place.
      Lap 57/62 – Sainz leads, Norris second
      Norris is closing the gap on leader Sainz.
      The Ferrari driver has work cut out with three cars all vying for his position.
      This should be an exciting finish to the race.
      Verstappen is over 30 seconds behind the race leaders.
      Lap 55/62 – Sainz leads, Norris second
      Russell is on the tail of Leclerc now.
      He can actually do his teammate some favours as makes life more difficult for him.
      Not for long as Russell takes the Ferrari at turn fourteen.
      Hamilton uses DRS well to take Leclerc also.
      Lap 53/62 – Sainz leads, Norris second
      As it stands, Liam Lawson is still in the points in 9th place.
      What an achievement that would be in his third race.
      Meanwhile, Russell keeps on closing the gap on the front three.
      Credit: Getty
      Lap 51/62 – Sainz leads, Norris second
      George Russell is only 11.5 seconds off the leader now.
      The two Mercedes drivers will be going at it from now until the end of the race on those new tyres.
      Sainz, Norris and Leclerc will need to have some defence to keep them at bay.
      Lap 49/62 – Sainz leads, Norris second
      Alonso is having a terrible day at the office.
      He served his five second penalty when he pitted, it was a terrible pit stop as they struggled to get the back end of the car up.
      He overshoots a corner but fortunately gets restarted before a safety car was needed.
      Alonso finds himself back in 17th place however.
      Lap 47/62 – Sainz leads, Norris second
      Both Mercedes cars decide to use the safety car to pit.
      They are both out there now on a new set of medium tyres.
      The three cars in front of them are on older hard compound tyres.
      It could be a fantastic finish to this race.
      Lap 45/62 – Sainz leads, Russell second
      Ocon is out of the race it seems, more importantly, his car is still out on the track.
      A virtual safety car has been issued.
      The Alpine driver screams on the team radio, he is devastated, he was having a great drive there.
      Lap 43/62 – Sainz leads, Russell second
      After they both pit, Verstappen is now in 15th place, Perez in 18th place.
      That is not something you expect to see with these Red Bull cars.
      Someone take a picture of that leaderboard is unique to say the least from what we have seen this season.
      The pair need a safety car to come back into contention now.

      Lap 41/62 – Sainz leads, Russell second
      Sainz is driving well and frustrating Russell in second.
      He is not giving him the chance to take him, while conserving his tyres.
      Perez heads to the pits, not surprising seeing that car snake out on corners.
      Lap 39/62 – Sainz leads, Russell second
      Ocon goes past Alonso on a corner where they seemed no space for two Formula 1 cars, wild.
      Sainz is on the team radio asking them to tell him when they think he should start pushing it.
      Confirmation that is trying to manage his tyres for this race.
      Lap 37/62 – Sainz leads, Russell second
      It will be interesting to see when both of the Red Bull’s decide to come into the pit lane.
      As we see Perez taking a corner, the car snakes out at the back.
      It is evident that they have no grip whatsoever.
      Lap 35/62 – Sainz leads, Russell second
      The front five drivers are only separated by around 5.5 seconds.
      There is then a similar gap from fifth place to Verstappen in sixth.
      Alonso is starting to put some pressure on Perez in seventh.
      Credit: Splash
      Lap 33/62 – Sainz leads, Russell second
      Verstappen is on his team radio telling them the tyre is dead and it is like ‘driving on ice’.
      That is not good news for the rest of the field as the Dutchman has done 30 laps on the hard compound.
      Their plan was not to pit again but that would mean 40 laps on their hard tyres.
      Lap 31/62 – Sainz leads, Russell second
      Russell is on the team radio stating how slow Sainz is going.
      He thinks he is either trying to manage his tyres or looking to get cars to back up behind him.
      If it is the latter it is working with both Norris and Hamilton less than a second behind him.
      Lap 29/62 – Sainz leads, Russell second
      Verstappen is down to sixth place now with Perez in seventh.
      It does not look like it is going to be Red Bull’s day today.
      Mercedes seem to be in a strong position to dominate this race currently.
      Lap 27/62 – Sainz leads, Russell second
      Lando Norris is the latest driver to take Max Verstappen.
      The Red Bull cars are struggling at the moment.
      Sergio Perez is complaining that Lewis Hamilton needs to give his place back after gaining an advantage by going off-track.
      Lap 25/62 – Sainz leads, Verstappen second
      It is all change now with the Red Bull’s in the top five.
      George Russell takes advantage and makes a move on Max Verstappen to move into second.
      Lewis Hamilton manages to get ahead of Sergio Perez although he went off the track to do so.
      Red Bull seem to be struggling for grip on their hard compound tyres.

      Where do United go from here?
      Things certainly don’t get any easier for Ten Hag.
      His men now travel to Germany on Wednesday night.
      They will play Bayern Munich in their Champions League group stage opener.
      And United will be hoping to guard against Harry Kane, who was once a top target for them.

      Well, what a result this is for the Seagulls.
      United fans aren’t happy and jeer at the final whistle.
      It really was the same old story, scrappy in possession and no clinical edge.

      90+4. Hannibal goes into the book for a reckless challenge.
      And it opens the way for Fati to burst into a one-on-one with Onana.

      Should have been four.

      90+2. Old Trafford has almost emptied out alraedy.

      69. Just over 20 minutes left and United look no closer to finding that key breakthrough.
      Eriksen is now sitting deepest in midfield, with Hannibal pushing forward.
      Yet it’s left United exposed, and Brighton almost get in with Fati before Martinez steps across the youngster.
      The Stretford End is restless, with many wanting to see Alejandro Garnacho come on.
      Man Utd 0 Brighton 2
      67. Instant impact from Hannibal as he wins a free-kick in a good position.

      65. Changes from both sides here.
      Adam Lallana and Danny Welbeck are both off.
      They’re replaced by Barcelona loanee Ansu Fati and summer signing Joao Pedro.

      Fans loudly booed when Hojlund’s number went up…

      60. Gross is looking hungry since his goal.

      58. A rare spell of possession for United sees an opportunity fall to Fernandes.
      The captain lines up a shot from distance, but his effort lacks any real power.
      Hojlund attempts to spark some life into the hosts with a decent dribble.
      But Rashford’s shot is deflected out for a corner, with the resulting set-piece hit into the side-netting by Fernandes.
      Man Utd 0 Brighton 2
      56. It’s a long way back from here…
      United have not been on it since coming out for the second half.
      Brighton were given too much time on the ball, allowing them to craft another opportunity.
      And United paid the ultimate price, with two goals now needed just to level things up.
      Goal – Man Utd 0 Brighton 2
      53. It’s another for the Seagulls!
      Brighton work it from right to left, allowing Mitoma to drive at McTominay.
      He knocks it to Lamptey, who in turns plays in Gross.
      And the German shimmies before smashing the ball past Onana.

      Newcastle 1 Brentford 0: Howe’s blushes spared by Flekken howler as Wilson penalty wins the points for lacklustre Toon

      by

      EDDIE HOWE was spared more flak by flaky Brentford keeper Mark Flekken. Newcastle CEO Darren Eales admitted before the season that he had to calm the Saudi chiefs down after a draw with Crystal Palace in January.

      That point extended the Magpies unbeaten run to 15, so you started to wonder how they would react if this ended in a loss or turgid stalemate on the back of three straight defeats. 
      And at no point did Newcastle look like winning this one until the dodgy Dutch stopper – a summer signing from Freiburg – handed the Tynesiders a lifeline on a platter by needlessly taking Anthony Gordon out on the byline for a penalty just after the hour.
      Callum Wilson buried it, making it 14 goals in his last 17 Prem games and taking him level with Les Ferdinand’s Toon total. 
      This was about the win but the Tynesiders were once again well off it.
      Famed for their intensity under Howe, it is sorely lacking right now. 
      Despite that, three points stops their mini-crisis reaching boiling point as they head to face AC Milan on Tuesday for their Champions League return following a 20-year absence. 
      Now up to 11th in the Prem, and with Sheffield United next, this could prove a huge turning point – even if it was another performance to concern Howe.
      He made five changes to try and kickstart the season, with Harvey Barnes handed a first start and Wilson, Sven Botman, Elliot Anderson and Sean Longstaff also in.

      This already had a must-win feel to it the Mags manager wanted to avoid heading to Milan with further questions over his future.
      Yet they could and perhaps should have been behind inside three minutes when Aaron Hickey – finding a ridiculous amount of space inside the box – was denied by Nick Pope from a tight angle. 
      But that warning shot hardly sparked Newcastle into life with Brentford the far better side early on. 
      The hosts were lethargic off the ball, sloppy on it and their left side was under constant bombardment. 
      Expecting to see their side come out firing, the crowd were not impressed.
      Yoane Wissa was a whisker away from converting Mathias Jensen’s wicked cross 23 minutes in. 
      The Geordies finally had a shot five minutes later, and from the resulting corner Bruno Guimaraes’ header from point-blank range at the back post was just about kept out by Mark Flekken.
      The first-half was instantly forgettable and Newcastle needed inspiration, yet they started the second just as slack. 
      Wilson then bundled the ball in following a goalmouth scramble after the unconvincing Flekken fluffed a punched clearance, but Craig Pawson immediately gave a foul. 
      Wissa squandered another half-chance at the other end seconds later yet, shooting towards the Gallowgate, it was Newcastle pressing – and they were handed a penalty just after the hour for Flekken’s foul on Gordon. 
      Deadly Wilson made no mistake – taking his season’s tally to three – firing over the outstretched Flekken to the mighty relief of St James’. 
      It was far from over though but just as Brentford threatened to get back in, ref Craig Pawson pointed to the spot again for a Bryan Mbeumo handball – only to reverse his decision after looking at the monitor.
      There were nine minutes of injury time but Newcastle held on without any major frights for a priceless victory.
