    Newcastle 0 Crystal Palace 0 – Magpies have goal controversially ruled out as Eagles fly home with a point

    ALEXANDER ISAK can expect another text from Alan Shearer soon – though this one might not be as friendly. Newcastle’s record £60million striker has been messaging the Magpies icon since arriving from Real Sociedad. 
    Isak failed to score on his St James’ Park debutCredit: Getty
    The Swede was electric on his scoring debut at Liverpool but he royally fluffed his lines on his first outing at St James’ Park.
    Toon had chance after chance to see off Palace, with the best by a distance falling to Isak in the first half. 
    One-on-one, without a defender in sight, in front of the Gallowgate, Isak couldn’t have dreamt for a better situation to announce himself to the Geordie nation. 
    But instead of putting his foot through it the 6ft 4in forward went for a cheeky chip which was easily saved by Vicente Guaita. 
    You certainly wouldn’t have seen Newcastle’s favourite son trying anything like that – and you can well imagine Shearer screaming “JUST HIT IT, MAN!” in the Match of the Day studio. 
    Isak would have become the first Newcastle player to score in his first two Prem games since Les Ferdinand back in 1995
    Yet it was not to be in what was ultimately a super frustrating afternoon for Eddie Howe’s side. 
    The mood on Tyneside has not been this positive since the day of Sir Les and Kevin Keegan. 
    However, it is now five games without victory – equalling the longest winless run under Howe. 
    Isak recovered from a dead leg after scoring at Liverpool but there was still no Callum Wilson, Allan Saint-Maximin or Bruno Guimaraes.
    It was a fast start from Toon with man-mountain Joelinton bossing the midfield to pen passive Palace back. 
    They struggled to carve the Eagles open but 16 minutes in and Isak had the sort of chance he would have been dreaming of on Friday night to announce himself properly to the Geordie nation. 
    The Swede created it for himself, charging down sloppy Joachim Andersen on halfway. 
    He charged in on goal at the Gallowgate and the whole of St James’ Park fell silent, ready to explode. 
    Yet rather than keeping it simple and burying into the corner or rounding Vicente Guaita, Isak tried to dink it but the Spanish stopper stood tall to block and leave the new boy red faced. 
    Palace briefly threatened in a scrappy first half – Jean-Philippe Mateta had their best chance,  forcing Nick Pope into a smart stop to his right. 
    Newcastle then had a second wind but somehow failed to go into the break ahead. 
    Sean Longstaff’s glancing header from Matt Targett’s cross was well saved and Cheick Doucoure somehow scrambled it away on the line to prevent a Joelinton tap in. 
    It fell to Sven Botman and it looked for all the money like he would open his Magpies account before Marc Guehi’s heroic block. 
    Moments later, Guaita was stranded in the middle when Miguel Almiron’s volley from the edge of the box took a wicked deflection but it cannoned off the post and away. 
    Isak was given a reprieve just before the break after a rapid break down the right but his shot was tame and straight at Guaita. 
    Newcastle finally had the ball in the net 51 minutes in – via Palace defender Tyrick Mitchell – before VAR ruled it out. 
    A deep free-kick was nodded across goal by Sven Botman before Joe Willock, trying to head home, collided with Guaita. 
    Willock’s goal was ruled outCredit: Getty
    It looked nasty and both players required lengthy treatment after Mitchell, who clearly nudged Willock in the back forcing him into Guaita, put it into his own net. 
    Shearer for one was raging, tweeting: “Willock clearly pushed into the keeper. Pathetic decision.” 
    Furious as ref Michael Salisbury, the ignited Toon Army cranked up the volume as Miguel Almiron lashed one wide just after.  
    Palace had barely threatened all game but with 17 minutes to go they had their clearest opening. 
    Sub Odsonne Edouard worked it onto his right 10 yards out after wriggling through two defenders but Nick Pope stuck out his right leg to deflect it behind. 
    Not much had gone right for Isak all afternoon but he showed his vision and class with a lovely through ball to the onrushing Willock, but Guaita was up to task again with a stellar stop down to his right. 
    And the midfielder really should have sealed the three points as the clock ticked on but he got it all wrong as he spooned a bouncing ball in a congested box horribly wide.

    Ferrari and Mercedes will be pleased with their work today – Red Bull have some work to do after Verstappen’s problem earlier in the day.
    Tsunoda’s car is being recovered
    We might be able to squeeze in a few laps once it has been removed from the gravel.
    Red Flag – Session stopped
    Tsunoda has stopped in the gravel and the session has been brought to a halt with 11 minutes to go.
    That is likely to be it for the session as there is no crane to collect his AlphaTauri.
    Leclerc was quickest but just 0.004 seconds over Sainz. Hamilton is in P3 after a solid start to FP1.
    Half-way through FP2
    Leclerc has just gone time. Sainz is in second and Hamilton and Russell take third and four place respectively.
    Red Bull are still to show their hand, so expect that line up to change before the end of the session.
    Lull in action here
    We have 42 minutes to go and at the top it is Sainz, Leclerc, Verstappen, Russell, Norris, Hamilton.
    Verstappen leading the way
    Top five at the moment is Verstappen, Sainz, Leclerc, Russell Norris.
    Jenson Button is track side commentating on turn three and you can just see the cars whizzing by especially Max Verstappen who is going great once again after gearbox issue.
    The championship leader is going very wide on his turns too.
    Verstappen is back on track
    After a gearbox issue in FP1, there was a huge cheer for the home hero as he climbed into his Red Bull and took to the track.
    He is making up for lost time and currently sits P1 after only four laps.
    FP2 is go
    Second session underway in Holland for the Dutch GP.
    FP1 is done and it is a Merc 1-2
    Who thought we’d be saying that ahead of the session?
    Could the revival be back on? Mercedes struggled so badly at Spa but this weekend they have started on the front foot.
    Russell heads Hamilton in first practice while Sainz is third and Norris in fourth.
    We never got to see Verstappen’s true pace owing to a gearbox problem, but Perez his teammate was only quick enough for seventh.
    Five minutes to go
    Remember, no Verstappen after his gearbox problem after only seven laps.
    It is Russell now in P1, Hamilton in P2…surely this is not the Mercedes revival?
    Sainz in P1, Norris in P2 and Russell in P3
    Ricciardo in P4, Leclerc in P5, Perez in P6.
    Perez and Ricciardo have offs
    Both the Red Bull man and McLaren’s Ricciardo have moments of running off track and into the sand.
    Both keep out of trouble and prevent any damage to their cars.
    Alonso is on a flyer
    The Alpine man goes quickest by over a second. That is some lap form the Spaniard. He’s still got it.
    Session has restarted
    Verstappen’s Red Bull has been recovered and the race track is live again.
    We are back underway in Zandvoort. A little over 40 minutes to go.
    Verstappen tops the timesheets from Ricciardo and Norris.
    Red flag – session has been stopped
    Drama here as Verstappen is getting out of his car. Not the start to the home race he was hoping for.
    But it is short-lived – he’s stoppped
    The championship leader has come to a stop on track. He’s complaining of a gearbox problem.
    He only took a new one in the last race. That is some concern for the team and the racer.
    Green light in FP1
    The Dutch GP is underway and plumbs of orange smoke pour across the track.
    A huge cheer for Max Verstappen as he takes to the track…

    Garner signs for Everton
    There has been some very late business between Manchester United and Everton this evening.
    Red devils midfielder James Garner has joined Everton on a permanent basis.
    The 21-year-old has signed a deal that will keep him at Goodison Park for four years.
    Head over to our transfer blog page to keep up to date on all the deadline day gossip.

    Brendan Rodgers reflects
    We’re disappointed with the goal, that was a bit of naivety. I’ve got to say the players kept going but we lacked that bit of craft and quality in the final third. Obviously James Maddison gives us that but we needed more. As I say the attitude of players was excellent, but it wasn’t enough.Brendan Rodgers, Leicester boss
    Ronaldo eyes up the spectacular
    Cristiano Ronaldo attempted a bicycle kick which had fans’ hearts in their mouths.
    You wouldn’t out it past him.

    Sancho getting ‘comfortable’
    Match-winner Jadon Sancho shared his thoughts on adjusting to life at Manchester United:
    It was agreat team goal, I’m just glad we got the three points. I’m getting more comfortable. It was good to get to know the team in pre-season – I missed it last year – and we worked on a few things.Jadon Sancho, Manchester United forward
    Eriksen wants to start ‘killing games’
    Man of the match Christian Eriksen had his say on the performance:
    It hasn’t been beautiful for 90 minutes but we have three wins. We want to do better but it’s a good start.
    It was similar to Southampton – we have to kill the game earlier, otherwise it will be tight at the end. The games keep coming.Christian Eriksen, Manchester United midfielder
    FULL-TIME – Leicester 0-1 Manchester United
    Craig Pawson blows his whistle and boos ring out around the king Power.
    Ten Hag registers his third consecutive win as manager.
    Leicester had moments going forward, but were very flat all game and Manchester United never really needed to hit second gear.
    Sancho’s first half goal ended up being the winner after rounding the keeper and rolling the ball into an empty net.
    United players applaud their corner which is cluttered with flags protesting the Glazer ownership. But the relationship between players and fans is building.
    Understandably, the Leicester fans aren’t hanging around.

    Leicester 0-1 Manchester United
    90+3, Justin with a big chance!
    Ronaldo gives the ball away high up the field and Leicester counter.
    Daka sets Justin free down the right and the full-back lashes at it, skying it way over the bar from a promising shooting position.
    Leicester 0-1 Manchester United
    90+1, Maddison starts the move and almost finishes it, stepping inside and curling one with his left-foot.
    It’s way off target in the end and that might be their last good chance of the match.
    Leicester 0-1 Manchester United
    90, The board goes up for four added minutes.
    Leicester 0-1 Manchester United
    89, Ronaldo, Casemiro and Fernandes all combine before the latter fires a ball across goal which takes a nick off Iheanacho, sending it narrowly over his own bar.
    Fernandes has been quietly classy all evening.
    Leicester 0-1 Manchester United – substitution
    87, Fred is on for Marcus Rashford to help secure the win.
    Leicester 0-1 Manchester United – yellow card (Vardy)
    86, Vardy is punished for a challenge on Malacia and the forward charges towards Craig Pawson, visibly furious at the decision.
    On the replays he won the ball fair and square. Perhaps the referee was unhappy with his follow through.
    Vardy’s number is quickly raised. Daka is on for the final few minutes of normal time.
    Leicester 0-1 Manchester United
    84, Ronaldo IS getting chances.
    This time Fernandes slips him in, but his shot is neither here nor there. He would have been better getting his head up and finding Eriksen. But he does look sharp.
    Leicester 0-1 Manchester United
    83, Ronaldo with a bicycle kick!
    It didn’t go in but has livened up this game now.
    Good movement from Ronaldo who had peeled away at the back post.
    Leicester 0-1 Manchester United
    82, Fernandes turns on the style, nutmegging his man and finding Rashford on the move who then slides in Ronaldo.
    The substitute is unselfish, but plays the ball just behind Eriksen who would have had an open goal.
    It comes back to Rashford who fluffs his shot wide.
    Leicester 0-1 Manchester United
    79, An Ole Gunnar Solskjaer chant rings around the United fans and that’s just about as exciting as it’s got in the last five minutes or so.
    Leicester 0-1 Manchester United
    77, Manchester United get into a dangerous area but Ronaldo overruns the ball.
    Dalot then slides one towards Eriksen in the area. Thomas does well to intercept.
    Leicester 0-1 Manchester United – substitution
    75, And here it is. Tielemans’ number is up and Iheanacho is on to help rescue a point at least.
    He’ll join Vardy up front in more of a 4-4-2 formation.
    Leicester 0-1 Manchester United
    74, Dewsbury-Hall uncharacteristically skews a ball well over Maddison’s head and out of play, drawing a groan from the crowd.
    You suspect a Leicester change or two isn’t far away.
    Leicester 0-1 Manchester United
    72, For all the entertaining games we have seen between these two play down the years, this one won’t live long in the memory (so far).
    It’s been pretty dull.
    Leicester 0-1 Manchester United
    71, Ndidi uses his body against Ronaldo who was hoping to steal in behind.
    Barnes then flashes one across goal, but Dalot’s sliding interception comes back off the Leicester man for a goal-kick.
    Leicester 0-1 Manchester United
    70, Casemiro allows Soumare no time on the ball and is penalised.
    Rashford looks to have moved out to the left-hand side with Ronaldo playing through the middle.
    Leicester 0-1 Manchester United – substitution
    68, It’s Ronaldo time.
    Goalscorer, Sancho is the man to make way.
    The travelling fans are already singing Ronaldo’s name.
    No signs of a tarnished reputation here.

    67, Maddison can’t get it up and over and it’s straight into the wall. Disappointing for the 25-year-old.

    Arsenal 2-1 Aston Villa LIVE RESULT: Martinelli secures Gunners win as both goalies commit howlers in Premier League

    ARSENAL have maintained their 100 per cent record against Aston Villa on a night both goalkeepers will want to forget.The Gunners took the lead when their former stopper Emiliano Martinez fumbled the ball out to Gabriel Jesus.
    But Douglas Luiz equalised direct from a corner which Aaron Ramsdale inexplicably failed to keep out.
    However, Gabriel Martinelli would have the final word a minute later as Martinez again made a blunder, failing to palm away a shot that was straight at him.

    Goodbye.
    An honest Gerrard discusses future
    When asked whether he had concerns about his future as Aston Villa manager, here’s what Steven Gerrard had to say:
    Of course I do. I’m really honest and critical of myself. I’ll do my job the best I can do, I’ll step forward, I’ll take the responsibility in the best way I can. But if I stood here and said to you that I wasn’t concerned, I think you’d look at me as if I was from a different planet, is that right?Steven Gerrard, Aston Villa boss
    Arsenal’s next five
    Having won their first five, Arsenal face Manchester United, Liverpool and bitter rivals Tottenham in their next five Premier League matches.
    It’s a tricky run which should show fans exactly how far their side have come.

    Manchester United (A)
    Everton (H)
    Brentford (A)
    Tottenham (H)
    Liverpool (H)

    Arteta reflects
    The Gunners boss praised his side’s character to get back into the game, and is already looking ahead to Manchester United on the weekend.
    Really happy with the result. It’s so tough to win in this league. I think in the first half it was one of the best we’ve played. We could have scored three, four, five.
    We didn’t kill the game and in the second half it was a fight. They stretched us, played really directly and it became a transitional game.
    Without really allowing them anything, one corner, we concede a goal and it’s game on again. But the team reacted incredibly well and I think we deserved to win the game.
    The crowd was magnificent tonight.
    We go to Old Trafford, focus on the performance, play well and earn the right to win the game.Mikel Arteta, Arsenal boss
    Scores on the doors
    Elsewhere in the Premier League today, Arsenal’s rivals Tottenham dropped points to West Ham:

    Bournemouth 0-0 Wolves
    Man City 6-0 Nottingham Forest
    West Ham 1-1 Tottenham
    Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle

    Martinelli delighted with win
    The match-winner gave his thoughts on his side’s performance:
    We are very delighted with the result and the performance as well. We looked to keep patient and we deserved the win. We got the three points and we’re happy.
    We were a bit upset [when Aston Villa scored] but we went again and got the goal.Gabriel Martinelli, Arsenal forward
    When asked whether the introduction of Gabriel Jesus has made things easier, Martinelli said: “So much easier, that guy is a beast. He’s everywhere on the pitch.”
    Villa’s villains
    Aston Villa’s dismal start to the season continues as they drop into the relegation places with just three points on the board.
    The West Midlands side have won just three of their last 16 Premier League matches.
    Fingers will be pointed at manager Steven Gerrard.

    Match-winning Martinelli
    Just three minutes after Douglas Luiz levelled the scores, Martinelli met Saka’s cross at the back stick to restore the Gunners’ lead and start the party in North London.
