COMMENTATOR:

He doesn't miss those. What a
fantastic goal.

fantastic goal. Who else, Ashley
Barnes again. Oh, what a strike!

Crouch, the 100th Premier League
goal.

Yes, plenty of top goal-scorers
in action in today's

Premier League games,
and in the studio one of the game's

most popular strikers.

Alan is here as well.

It was too easy, too easy!

We begin at Tottenham.

Newcastle United the visitors,
with Steve Bruce looking to avoid



a third consecutive defeat.

Commentary comes from Martin Fisher.

Steve Bruce wasn't a popular choice
when he was appointed to replace

Rafa Benitez in the summer and that
dissent has only intensified in the

wake of their sorry show at Norwich.
Coming here is probably the last

thing that he needs. They point must
have given Tottenham fresh belief

may be this season they can get
close to the champions. Lucas, who

got the Etihad equaliser, is
rewarded with a start. Son Heung-Min

is involved for the first time
having completed his three match

ban, hanging over from last season.
Eriksen drops to the bench.

Newcastle's £40 million man
Joelinton is in after recovering

from a knock. Local lad stuff is
preferred to Shelvey in midfield. --

local lad Longstaff. Winks got away
with that. Rose, Lamela. Rose lifts

it in. It's Lascelles who heads
away. And Almiron was penalised for



tugging the jersey of Rose. Who
stopped, knowing that the whistle

would come. Free kick quickly taken
at Spurs just try to inject a bit of

pace and there might be a chance for
Son Heung-Min. Goes down under the

challenge. The supporters howling
for a penalty. Schar sliding in, did

he get his toe to the ball? Mike
Dean didn't see it as a penalty.

Schar looking for Joelinton. He's
got Longstaff up with him, they've

got two to his left. It was on
target, firmly struck, good save by

Lloris. It's a really good strike by
Longstaff. It needed saving.

Newcastle almost had the audacity to
take the lead. Here's Atsu. Looking

for Joelinton and he's found him as
well. What a chance. And Joelinton

puts it away! Newcastle's £14
million man celebrates his first

goal for the club. It's a tight one.
But beautifully collected by

Joelinton. Rose coming in with a
sliding challenge, couldn't make it

in time, and Joelinton Hammers home.
Spurs nil, Newcastle one. Rose for

Son Heung-Min.

Son Heung-Min. Son Heung-Min's ball
in. Walker-Peters, Kane is in the

middle waiting. So too is Lucas, so
is Son Heung-Min.

is Son Heung-Min. Better from Spurs.

Sissoko, saw a gap and glides
through it. Now Lucas, challenged by

Lascelles.

Reclaimed by Walker-Peters. Winks
momentarily slowed it down before

picking a pass for Lamela. Going
through the gears now, Tottenham.

Lamela, Lucas, and Dummett gets to
it first. Brilliant defending from

Newcastle. Walker-Peters fires it
in, Lascelles away this side.

Alderweireld. Lamela couldn't bring
it down. Well, there is a steely

determination about Newcastle now.
Dubravka involved for the first

time, and it's a really good save.
Even then there was a lot on the

line, at the goalkeeper not got
across, how about this from Paul

Dummett? Missed that, and Lucas is
in.

Lascelles underneath it, where's
dropping? Son Heung-Min will try and

keep it alive. Rose, Kane.

He's found a cross, Dubravka
touches. Lucas couldn't get his shot

away and it's that man, Christian
Atsu, who did enough to make the

challenge to prevent Lucas getting a
free hit. Joelinton was met goal

divides the team at the break will
stop -- Joelinton's goal divides the

teams at the break.

Lamela.

Son Heung-Min, may be a chance of a
shot here, scuffed it, but it

dropped to Lamela. What a challenge
by Schar. Schar, Lascelles and

Dummett have performed heroically
when called upon. Predictably pretty

much all the action the second half
has been in the Newcastle half, but

Spurs just haven't done enough with
that position. So many balls past

Square. Son.

Being false to weigh again by
Newcastle. Alderweireld. It's

Lascelles who heads clear. Son
Heung-Min. Lo Celso. If the fans are

frustrated, how about him? So
pedestrian from his side. A lack of

imagination, lack of craft.

Winks, Lo Celso, that's better,
Kane, the challenge, is that a

penalty? Well, surely VIR will have
a look at that because it looked as

though Lascelles just dived into
Kane.

Kane goes down. Had little option
but to do so. Did his best to make

it look accidental, but certainly
interrupted Kane's movement towards

the ball. I can't really see what
the debate is about here. What is

the decision? No penalty. I think
Jamal Lascelles here is very clever.

He slipped there, knows he can't get
to the ball, knows he has to stop

Kane doing so and just dives across
his path. It gets harder for

Tottenham next week, they are down
the road at Arsenal and they'll

certainly have to play a lot, lot
better than this. Eriksen looking

for Sissoko. He's found a cross,
Lucas, what a chance for the

Brazilian. Last week was my hero
fluffed his lines. -- last week's

hero fluffed his lines and
NewcastleMcLean sheet remains intact

and Lucas, unmarked, but off target.
He is Eriksen. Away by Fernandez and

now it's Almiron. Joelinton ahead of
him to the right, if he waits to his

left he's got Atsu, instead it's
Joelinton who is running on empty.

Almiron, good effort, deflection
took it over. Well, he's still

searching for his first Newcastle
goal, Almiron. Signed back in

January. Let this one go, I think he
thought he had found his first go.

The noise now from the Newcastle
fans, who can't quite believe what

they seem, but it's not over yet.
It's Lucas, it's Alderweireld. Now

Sissoko. Lucas screaming for it. Now
he's got it. Back to Sissoko. Kane

is there and he's miscued. Sums it
up from Tottenham. His first chance

of the game and Harry Kane, of all
people, scuffs it.

Sissoko. Literally the last few
seconds. Lucas, and now Davies. It's

not over yet. It should be now. It
is. It's all over. What a fantastic

result for Steve Bruce. So much
criticism rained down on the new

Newcastle manager after that defeat
at Norwich, but he produced a superb

team performance today. Defensive
masterclass. Tottenham nil,

Newcastle one. The great thing about
Newcastle is everybody wants a bit

of the great club it is. We've had
to ride the storm not just for the

past week, for the past five or six
weeks. To a man, they were excellent

today. I put praise on them and of
course the staff, who have worked

with me all week to try and quieten
the storm, if

with me all week to try and quieten
the storm, if that's the right word,

but hopefully that will shut a few
people up for a little bit anyway.

We came with a game plan. We were
compact, we were narrow, and we

caused them a few problems going
forward when we hit them on the

break and stuff. We had a game plan
from start to finish and we managed

to not give them any chances and
it's been a massive three points. I

feel disappointed like everyone, but
we didn't play well. It was

impossible to break down their
organisation. Of course we conceded

a cheap goal and you need some
players to step up this type of

situation, but we didn't, we didn't.
We didn't show the quality today. We

have to be strong with this
situation and find a better solution

than today. Should you have had a
penalty today? No, I don't know, but

I trust VAR. I don't want to
complain, I didn't say nothing, it's

not for us. We accept the rules. I'm
happy because it's an element that

is going to help the referee and I
don't want to talk about it. To come

to one of the big stadiums in Europe
now, and a big, big team and turn

them over in their backyard was very
welcome. You were very nervous for

the last 20 minutes, it was
entertaining viewing for myself and

Peter watching that! Now you've
calmed down, where do you want to

praise Newcastle? I want to place
the setup. The whole team deserve

praise. Totally opposite to what we
saw last

praise. Totally opposite to what we
saw last week at Norwich. Today,

they were very, very well organised,
they were disciplined. So many

positives from everyone in the team.
That was the system they played,

five, then the four in front of
them, to give them the protection.

There were no spaces whatsoever. But
it wasn't just about defending.

Look, you've got the four attack is
there, you've got long staff, watch

him there make the run. Almiron goes
short. It's a wonderful run from

Joelinton under great pass down the
line. I mentioned long staff. He ran

all that way, he's got the option to
cross it, he takes the option to

have a pop at goal and it's a decent
save from Norris. But that was a

constant. Getting players in and
around in behind the ball, as I

said, knows is whatsoever. If you
don't win the first one of the

second one there someone else in
there as well, Lascelles on this

occasion. This was the goal, very
well worked. Again, you are

committing men forward, comes out to
that left-hand side and it's a good

ball from Atsu, good run, great
first touch, even better finish from

Joelinton. Off is a mark, full of
confidence. The second half that

didn't change either. Again, if you
don't win the first one and no

surprise who blocks this, Paul
Dummett, who I thought was

absolutely magnificent the whole
game. As I said, credit to the

manager because he set a system up
there and it worked to perfection.

So they have done tactical work this
week. Some of the criticism had come

their way, they didn't know what
they were doing and to him, this

week, that performance proved them
wrong. Last week's performance

deserves criticism but you always
have the chance to put that right in

the next performance and they did
that and it worked perfectly for the

manager and for his staff today, and
for the players to go out and say,

yeah, you tell us what to do and
we'll go and do it and I thought the

whole team, from the goalkeeper
right the way to the centre forward,

from the first minute to the last
minute, they gave everything. The

gold from the Spurs' point of view,
from your point of view first and

then Peter Bosz my of view.

I don't think everything is rosy at
Tottenham Hotspur, we saw the

manager in the summer saying, don't
ask me about players coming in or

leaving, it has got nothing to do
with me. Then he complains about the

transfer window, you leave to have
your best players on the bench.

People go on about the lack of
creativity against Tottenham, they

did it against Aston Villa, bringing
on Christian Eriksen, exactly the

same today, it didn't work. The
biggest concern for me would be the

way they are conceding. Have a look
at this goal, the lack of effort

from Tottenham players. Very
well-worked for Newcastle, but look,

not once in this whole build-up,
from start to finish, does any

Tottenham player break into a
sprint. Not one player gets within

15 yards of any Newcastle player.
Jogging, not good enough, lazy, not

working hard enough. And before they
know it, the ball is in the back of

the net. That would be the bigger
issue for me. But could they have

been told to hold their shape,
shuffle across and don't press

because not every team presses all
the time? No, you've got to remember

they are at home to Newcastle,
Tottenham are expected to win this

game, and the intensity wasn't
there. I have to agree with Alan. If

we go back to Newcastle, and
concerns over the summer, Perez was

sold to Leicester, Rondon left as
well, so now they have Joelinton in

there. It is early days, but have
they got someone to carry an

attacking threat? I really enjoyed
his performance today, I have to

say. I know he had a tough time last
week but this week, I thought he

showed a lot of character, he's big
and strong, it wasn't just the gold

today, his first touch here was
exquisite, took Danny Rose out of

the game. But his all-round game, I
thought he was strong, he held it

up, looking for the ball again here.
Here again, the pass, Alan was

shouting, I think he said, bang! He
did! I'm sure Alan could have done

slightly better there. But I liked
his hold-up play, his strength, when

you've got the pace of Almiron, you
need to bring him into the play.

This one, his defence would have
absolutely loved, you can't put a

value on this, his defence have
worked so hard to get the result and

he is there battling three or four
men, probably a little bit over

exuberant, but to... He is more than
a lump, isn't he? Yeah, much more

than that, I think he has got good
technique, he can play. He is not

the finished article but I feel like
Steve Bruce has got a player who he

can mould into the shape that he
wants him to be. Let's do the

penalty and VAR, then. Well, we were
all in the room today, seven or

eight of us and half of us were
saying no penalty, half of them were

saying, yes, penalty. So, if the
referee gives a penalty, we look

back and say, Oakleigh VAR, not
going to change that. But because

also he doesn't give it, because of
the high bar they are setting, they

are not going to change that. Not
everyone agrees so it is not clear

and obvious. Harry Kane is trying to
lean into the defender, looking for

the contact. Yes, he goes down, and
there is contact, but I have to say

that I didn't think it was a
penalty. For me, I think Lascelles

knows what he's doing, he thinks
Harry Kane is about to have a shot,

dives across him to block the shot,
and that was how Newcastle defended

today, genuinely wanting to block
the shot, and if he can't, he has

taken the man, and in my opinion, it
was a penalty, but we have not been

agreeing on it, so how can VAR agree
on it? The point being that VAR is

not there to re-referee the game.
Once he has made the decision, I

don't think VAR is going to change
it, whichever way it was.

Onto the champions,
and their visit to Bournemouth,

who had never beaten them
in the league.

In fact Eddie Howe's side didn't
even have a shot in this

fixture last season.

Commentary from Simon Brotherton.

Denied what they thought was a late
winner against Tottenham last

weekend, Manchester City will be
looking to avoid any such drama

today. Bournemouth bring in one
extra defensive player as they look

for a first ever Premier League
point against today's opponents,

Chris Mepham coming in for Harry
Wilson. David Silva makes his 400th

appearance for Manchester City
afternoon and his preference

presence in preference to Rodri in
midfield is the only change. Gabriel

Jesus is not in the squad due to a
hamstring injury. Bournemouth

looking to build on that away
victory against newly promoted Aston

Villa last week. This is De Bruyne,
who is muscled out of it. Josh King

powering forward, unleashing the
shot... Positive start from, and

how's side. De Bruyne, a little
ponderous. Almost made to pay for

it. Comfortable for Ederson,
straight at him. Bournemouth's

problem the last time these teams
met was getting hold of the ball,

never mind doing anything with it.
Silva, into Sterling... And just

wide via a deflection. First glimpse
of the menace of Manchester City, as

they venture forward into the final
third. Deflection just takes it

wide. Guardiola, whose team have not
been beaten in the Premier League

since the end of January, St

since the end of January, St James'
park against Newcastle. Miscued from

De Bruyne, but it matters not
because it fell to the feet of

Sergio Aguero. And in the blink of
an eye, it is in the back of the

Bournemouth net. With just under 15
minutes played, Manchester City have

the lead. Lovely, short passing,
Silva sending it wide, the miscue

falling at the feet of Aguero. And
he finds the bottom corner.

Sergio Aguero has scored in all
three of Manchester City's league

matches so far this season. Bernardo
Silva, faced by Nathan Ake. Nicely

done. Aguero. Plenty of blue shirted
support in and around the penalty

area. Daniels didn't know where it
had gone. Lovely shot on the volley

from the David Silva. Bournemouth
survive. This match really is

settling into a familiar pattern now
after the early flurry from

Bournemouth. His team very much on
top so far, but still just a one

goal game. The ball finds its way to
Harry Wilson. Zinchenko's touch

merely finding the.

merely finding the. King. Harry
Wilson loitering beyond Zinchenko.

Bournemouth trying to find a way
back into the match before the

break. Deflection, Otamendi... And
it is over the top of the bar! Adam

Smith can't quite believe it is not
in the back of the net. And neither

can most of the other people in the
ground. Bournemouth close to an

equaliser here, hesitation in the
Manchester City defence. It hits the

head of the Manchester City
goalkeeper.

David Silva, lovely touch, into
Raheem Sterling... Oh, it's a

brilliant goal! Fantastic play from
the champions. And Raheem Sterling

keeps his goalscoring run going. A
hat-trick at West Ham in the opening

game, a goal against Tottenham last
week and another one here in

Bournemouth. The pass into David
Silva, who picks out Raheem

Sterling, and the finish, lethal.

Chris Mepham, in towards Callum
Wilson... Challenged by Emerick

Laporte, who protests his innocence.
Andre Marriner was looking straight

at that and Bournemouth have a free
kick from within range. Harry Wilson

and Lerma near the ball. Oh, what a
goal, brilliant strike from Harry

Wilson! Who marks his home debut for
Bournemouth by finding the back of

Ederson's net! Two goals in two
appearances for his new club, the

Saab gets Bournemouth on the board.
Tremendous strike, up and over the

wall and tantalisingly beyond the
outstretched fingers of Ederson.

This is Ilkay Gundogan. Zinchenko
slides it in, David Silva with the

shot. Only half cleared. Here's
Kevin De Bruyne. Zinchenko... Ants

turning -- and Sterling almost.
Blocked by Steve Cook. 11 goals in

his career in all competitions
against Bournemouth for Raheem

Sterling. He has got more against
Bournemouth than anyone else.

Looking to make it a dozen with that
one. He will not be sitting

comfortable at 2-1, but quite an
animated figure in the technical

area. Ball forward by Wilson,
bursting forward, Callum Wilson. The

block is made and Manchester City
clear. Harry Wilson and Callum

Wilson almost combining to bring
Bournemouth right back into this

one. Nathan Ake unable to make a
clean contact. Aguero and De Bruyne

putting the pressure on between the
pair of them, they're almost going

to walk it into the net... It was a
lovely interchange.

But here at the other end of the
pitch, Bournemouth were close to

drawing level. Now it's with David
Silva.

Silva once more. Tight angle for
Sterling. David Silva goes down

inside the penalty area. Referee
waved play on and Billing brings it

out. Bournemouth will put the ball
out of play. The challenge made by

Jefferson Lerma on David Silva, did
he catch the top of his foot and

send him sprawling?

send him sprawling? Yeah, Jefferson
Lerma onto the top of David Silva's

boot. And the decision is no
penalty, after a VAR review. It did

look as if he caught the top of the
Manchester City player's boot. I

think the feeling at Stockley park
was that clearly there is a high bar

on changing decisions for penalties,
and they felt it wasn't clear and

obvious, so therefore it didn't meet
their criteria for changing the

initial decision. Manchester City
venturing forward again now. Aguero!

Jabbed the ball home! His second of
the game, Manchester City's third,

and the champions' two goal cushion
is restored. Any hint of an

opportunity near the goal will be
gobbled up by Aguero, nine times out

of ten. And that again was the case
here. Aguero's second of the game.

Maybe one last chance to attack the
Manchester City goal, good play by

Ibe, not quite such a good cross.
David Silva sees out the time, and

there goes the final whistle. Three
goals, three points, for Manchester

City. Sergio Aguero, the star, with
two goals, Raheem Sterling with yet

another one against Bournemouth. It
is Manchester City who returned to

winning ways, a 3-1 win on the road
for Pep Guardiola's side on the

south coast. Three goals this
afternoon and three points, what

were your thoughts on the way your
team played? Tough game, we knew it,

the physicality of the team, the
system they play, the long balls, so

it was a tough game. I think we did
well today, you know it's going to

be a tough game and the game we saw
was probably what we thought it

would be, but the big difference
this time was that although we

didn't have a great deal of
possession, we certainly had our

chances to score in the match. And
they ultimately change games and we

just weren't clinical enough in
front of goal today. 400th

appearance to David David Silva,
there aren't many better players?

One of the best players I ever
trained. We know he is amazing,

amazing passes and we are happy
because he plays for us. Did you

feel you should have had a penalty
in the second half for a foul on

David Silva? Penalty? Penalty.

Bournemouth didn't help their
chances but with Dyfed Silva at the

four, -- Bournemouth did have their
chances, but with Silva at the four.

The best find spaces and they've got
some of the best in their teams and

Bournemouth went in with a three
today at the back and were looking

for protection in front of them, but
when I say good players find spaces,

that's what I mean. They don't go
and stand up against the central

defenders. They work it well.
Bernardo Silva should actually score

again but that's what I mean, you've
got three or four micro players in

there who don't, or are not prepared
to go further back, who want to find

those little pockets in front of the
three and the defender that time

were screaming at their midfield is
to give them a little bit more

protection. Yes they get a bit of
luck with the goal because De Bruyne

doesn't connect with it and Aguero
finishes it off. Same thing again,

it was a constant in that first
half. They get the second goal here.

Just look at them again, look.
Exactly the same thing. De Bruyne,

Silva, Sterling gets the goal, five
or ten yards off the defender in

those pockets, in those holes, and
it's almost impossible to pick them

up. Touch, finish, the back of the
net, that's the second goal and it's

almost game over because it's hard
to come back from that. David

Silva's record is phenomenal, Pep
Guardiola says it's one of the best

he's worked with but is it nigh on
impossible to pick them up in those

situations? You know how City play
mainly, can you do anything more

about it? It so hard, David Silva
and Kevin De Bruyne are good at

getting those positions between them
but when you play three at the back

you need leaders and they need
people that might be able to step

into those positions in midfield, be
brave and take those opportunities

to going on the midfielders, because
at the end of the day they'll be

playing against Aguero, it's one
striker. They are going to have to

follow runs and get into midfield.
If I was a manager I would have two

banks of four. So that minimises
that threat. Minimise the gaps and

don't allow them to get into those
spaces. If you get a defender that

goes in with the four there is a big
space behind for the pace of

Sterling or one of the full-backs to
come and go into that space. It's

very, very difficult against top
players, which they are. It may have

helped Bournemouth if things had
turned out differently with Kyle

Walker, who could easily have had
two yellow early on. Yeah, in my

opinion should have gone. This was
the fourth minute of the match and

how this isn't a yellow card I'll
never know. In all honesty it's two

yellows, it's one on Ake and one on
Bruyne. He's come straight through

both of them and for me a definite
yellow and I think he takes it into

the 11th minute now and I've done
this before. You overrun the ball

and you try and make amends for it.
Granted, not moving as quickly as

Kyle Walker, but you overrun the
ball and it's actually a slow motion

this is a bad one. This could have
actually been a red itself. In my

opinion they got away with one there
and that was so early on in the game

and Bournemouth had chances anyway,
but down to ten men that would have

made it a hell of a lot more
difficult. Is there any argument to

say if you've been booked for the
first one he might not have done the

second one. He only said that
because he's come out with he never

ran that quake. I wouldn't do that
because I try to welcome the new

people on the show. Absolutely,
yeah, he probably wouldn't have went

in for the second one if he was on a
yellow card.

To Molineux - after victory
in the Europa League in midweek,

Wolves faced Peter's former side,
Burnley.

John Roder was watching.

This is the eighth competitive
fixture for Wolves this season. The

fixture against Reno is a sell-out.
It's a baking hot afternoon in the

Black Country and we'll have a
drinks break because of the high

temperature. Gibbs-White comes into
the Wolves team in the only change

to the side that started against
Manchester United. Doherty has

recovered from the illness that
forced him to miss the Torino Thai

in Italy. Burnley are unchanged for
the third match in a row. Ashley

Barnes already has three goals this
season and 12 in the Premier League

in 2019. Dwight McNeil scored in
Burnley's 2-0 victory over Wolves at

Turf Moor in their last meeting,
back in March. Wolves haven't lost

here at Molineux in the Premier
League since early January. Unbeaten

in their last nine home Premier
League matches. The chase on here

for Johnny.

for Johnny. Joao Moutinho. Johnny.

Muti know. Support from Giotto.
Gibbs-White. Never is. There's the

shout of shoot, from the Wolves fans
and Reuben Neves wasn't too far away

there. You see how the sun is
causing a few problems for players

on that far side and Reuben Neves'
shot almost causing problems for

Pope, in the Burnley goal.

Jimenez, options left and right,
opts to go is about direct route

himself. Towards Wood, Bennett with
the header. Barnes, sits up nicely

for him and what a strike that is.
He was celebration again from Ashley

Barnes -- cue the celebration again
from Ashley Barnes. Ashley Barnes

gets his fourth goal of the season.
One side as the ball is played

forward. And the head of their set
it up very nicely indeed. Knocked

down by McNeil and Barnes with a
wonderful curling shot away from Rui

Patricio, and Burnley strike first
at Molineux. It's Wolves nil,

Burnley one. Ashley Barnes once more
the scorer for the Clarets.

McNeil, taking on Doherty.

And he wins the corner.

The first corner of the afternoon.
Everybody back for Wolves. Jimenez

with the clearance. McNeil. Ben Mee.
And off the bar. That may well have

crossed the there, certainly Burnley
fans thought so and Wolves are most

grateful that it did not. Mee with
the header. And it clearly does not

cross the line there, but it was
mighty close. Just staying out, much

to Wolves' relief.

Pope will upfield long. -- Pope will
clear upfield long. The chance for

Burnley to get a second. Rui
Patricio with the save to deny Chris

Wood. The long ball forward here
from Pope and the defensive

clearance fell very kindly indeed
for Burnley, as it comes off

Bennett. Rui Patricio almost sitting
on that ball in order to make the

save.

Wood gets to it first, ahead of
Ollie.

Ollie. Westwood, Barnes, so close,
so, so close to Burnley's second

goal. Wood held it up nicely and it
flashes just the wrong side of the

post as far as Burnley are
concerned. Wolves haven't lost at

home in the Premier League since the
2nd of January. Nine unbeaten in the

league here at Molineux will stop.

2nd of January. Nine unbeaten in the
league here at Molineux will Reuben

Neves. Jota. In towards Dendoncker
and the touch was from Mee and Nick

Pope had to react very quickly
indeed together that ball. A real

scare for the Burnley supporters at
the opposite end of Molineux. Every

man it must seem like an eternity to
Sean Dyche and Burnley.

Sean Dyche and Burnley. It will be
Ryan Bennett to come forward to hurl

it in. It's towards Boly. Jimenez,
can he get the shot away? You can,

off the post and Burnley scramble it
away, the closest that Wolves have

come to a goal and they almost
snatched an equaliser in stoppage

time. Jimenez, off the base of the
post and Wolves can't make anything

from the rebound. The looks on their
faces tell you all they need to know

about Wolves' afternoon. We are into
the fifth and final minute of the

five additional minutes at the end
of the 90. Wolves have a throw on

that far side. We know what is
coming.

Towards Boly, drops for the volley
from Reuben Neves. A challenge in

the penalty area and the referee
says that's a penalty kick for a

foul on Jimenez, in the last seconds
of this match! VAR is obviously

having a look at it as Jimenez goes
down, is he caught there? Craig

Pawson says penalty, and his initial
decision has been backed up by the

VAR officials. Pieters with the
challenge on Jimenez, as they went

for the loose ball in the penalty
area. Jimenez with the last kick of

the afternoon. Nick Pope stands in
the way of Wolves getting a point.

Can Burnley hold on for all three?
Their hopes rest with their

goalkeeper. Jimenez scores!

Wolves celebrate. It will be another
draw for Nuno Espirito Santo's men,

but they've taken a point in
dramatic circumstances. It's

finished Wolves one, Burnley one.
What is going through your mind when

the penalty was initially awarded
and then it was referred to VAR?

What were you thinking? That I don't
want the stadium singing this song,

it's not good for the atmosphere we
have. The referees see it, they have

time to analyse it, we have to be
supportive of that. What I don't

want this to take time. Managers,
fans, people at home, yourselves

that I doing the work, to get used
to VAR. How cruel is it to lose two

points in that late, late drama? It
happens, we've done it to other

sites. Today, we deserved to win the
game. The players' mentality is

good, the quality of the team is
very good at the moment and was just

taken away by a late decision. They
were the better side, won't they,

Burnley? As you were there last
season you are the perfect person to

explain why they can be so
effective. My time was brief there

but I absolutely loved it. They have
a way of playing that suits them.

They don't overcomplicate things. As
you can see here, as soon as the

right back gets the ball you look at
Barnes and Wood they know it's

coming in there. Usually over the
back of the centre-half for the

full-back into space, but that was
in the first few minutes. Again,

they know full well that Wood it's
coming in behind the centre-half and

he's already on his bike and
invariably gets there before a

defender. He has a shot this time
but a lot of the times they are

looking to bring others into play.
Here's an example, run into space,

Wood again, instead of shooting he
holds up the ball. He knows he's got

Dwight McNeil, Gudmundsson, they are
all joining in. Here again on his

bike, into space. The hold-up play
is very good again and he knows as

soon as he sets it back Westwood's
delivery is first class. Ashley

Barnes knows it's coming straight
in. And I've seen him score them

nine times out of ten. He is a great
finisher. Again, here, I think this

was the goal, it didn't quite work
but look at the runners to support,

look at them getting onto the ball,
and again, Barnes, what a finish.

I've seen him do this in training
time and time again with both feet

and I don't think he gets the credit
that he deserves and that sums up

Burnley. Would Ibe right in saying
everything is so simplistic but

very, very effective? Every player
seems drilled. Every player knows

their job and Sean Dyche doesn't
complicate things, but what a

magnificent job he's doing and done
at Burnley sign that's exactly right

and I don't think the players get
the credit they deserve as well

because genuinely there is very good
footballers. You look at Westwood,

Cork, McNeil, Gudmundsson, they are
all good technicians, they are much

more. A bit like Leicester this
afternoon, would that be fair by one

man? Yeah, they played Monday,
played a game Thursday, the only

shining light in my opinion was
Jimenez, right from the first

whistle he was the shining light.
Here, he shows great ability to

elude a couple of defenders a little
one two, great defending from Ben

Mee to sing it out. He was the
threat all afternoon, great chest

down, if the Wolves players had been
on his wavelength they would have

scored more. Great skill to hit the
post and if anyone was going to

school today it was going to be him.
I think it was slightly, well, it

was clever with the penalty. And the
leg out? I think he knows what he's

doing there, he knows he's not going
to get the ball. He's put a leg

across Pieters and kidded him. It's
quite clear to see. He's put the leg

across, Pieters has fallen for it,
dived in, and he is won that penalty

but I have to say I do love the
penalty. He hasn't taken his eye is

off Pope. It doesn't look at the
ball. He genuinely hasn't looked at

the ball once, looks at Pope the
whole time, looks which way is he's

going and rolled it in the other.
Thank you. Fornals

Now to the best of yesterday's
action, beginning with

Frank Lampard's first win
as Chelsea manager.

when I got my first goal for
Chelsea, I was over the moon, I

didn't know how

Chelsea, I was over the moon, I
didn't know how to celebrate, just

went over to the manager. Abraham is
a back post, and there he is! And

Chelsea have the lead, inside three
minutes, Tammy Abraham, who was

given the nod today by Frank
Lampard, who felt he would have a

bit more mobility than Olivier
Giroud. Well, Abraham thanks his

gaffer for that selection today.
Abraham took it first time and

didn't he catch it sweetly? Terrific
finish. Nice

finish. Nice feet from Buendia, a
way he goes, Cantwell! And Norwich

are level, less than three minutes
after Chelsea go in front! Lovely

football and a great finish from
Todd Cantwell.

Errant pass, and here is Mason Mount
for Chelsea! What a finish, what a

player this young man is, Mason
Mount, with his second of the

season! Soon he steps inside, he
knows that it opens up the whole

situation for him.

Pukki! And he scores again! His
first sniff of an opportunity today,

and he finds the back of the net.
Buendia given far too much time to

decide what to do with it here.
Abraham, might have to go alone, and

does... Brilliantly! Chelsea back in
front, a second for Tammy Abraham!

Good movement by the front man.

West Ham's, challenge comes in,
still keeping it alive for West Ham,

and there is space here, Foster
comes out, and just did enough, but

to no avail, the spot kick is given
inside the opening minute!

inside the opening minute! And there
is contact on Lanzini. Impeccable

record for the penalty spot in the
last two seasons... And he keeps it

going. The perfect start. Space for
Hughes. Andre Gray... Brilliant

equaliser! Watford level! What a
finish from Andre Gray!

finish from Andre Gray! Deulofeu,
pulls it back across, surely! No!

Haller stretching, Anderson, good
movement from West Ham... And it

ends in a goal for the club record
signing, Sebastien Haller! His first

for the club!

for the club! West Ham corner, into
the near post, and again, a

brilliant save by., but the rebound
is in! And its second for Sebastien

Haller! And what about that for the
finish! Sebastien Haller, take a

bow.

Villa shuts pouring forward, one of
them is Wesley! And Wesley helps

himself to his first Aston Villa
goal! One touch, into the back of

the net, and Aston Villa have got
themselves in front. McGinn.

themselves in front. McGinn. That
settles it in their first Premier

League win in 16 attempts.
Absolutely confirmed now.

Absolutely confirmed now. Well, you
will both know the importance of

getting off the mark for a new club?
It's huge for any centre forward, to

make yourself feel part of the
football club, to introduce yourself

to the fans. I was fortunate enough
that at Southampton, Blackburn and

Newcastle, they came relatively
early, straightaway. Keane been on

droughts in my career and the longer
you go without scoring, you do start

to doubt yourself, so the sooner you
get off the mark, the better it is

for your confidence. If the drought
comes when you have signed for a new

club, the questions get asked
immediately. You're not referring to

Liverpool, are you? You tell me! I
did go through it and it was not

pleasant, it was horrible. You just
want to get an early one out of the

way so you can get off and running.
All the players this weekend have

managed to do that. I found it tough
at first, but I have to say I did

score a few after that. But to get
the first one at Liverpool, what did

you do? I became a bit more selfish,
Rafa was asking me to play a

different role and I took it upon
myself to play how I used to play.

He was happy when I wasn't scoring,
I was doing my part for the team...

The first one, you took the ball off
Steve Gerard? Quite early on, there

was a penalty, Steve Gerrard was on
them and I decided to take it off

him - and then missed! Thankfully
the rebound went in but I did not

fancy celebrating too much, to be
honest! And after that you never

took a penalty off him again. Never
again, not off your skipper,

certainly if it's Steven Gerrard!

We're on the iPlayer

Onto the rest of yesterday's goals.

Away from Alexander-Arnold... Joel
Matip! Liverpool score! Van Dijk's

presence unsettled the Arsenal
defence. The set piece has undone

Arsenal yet again. In towards the
amino... It's a penalty.

amino... It's a penalty. How can he
protest to the referee he was doing

no wrong?

no wrong? 2-0 up, they're breezing
it now. Beautifully shaped into the

corner.

corner. Fabinho. Formidable front
three. Mo Salah, too easy past David

Luiz, look at the pace, look at the
finish! Superb! Well, he made a bit

of a fool of David Luiz there. It
was brilliant from Mo Salah, it was

poor defending but a lovely
individual goal. One thing in his

mind, bury it, and he did. Obama
young... Lacazette is there with

him.

him. Six minutes to go, might just
be a consolation, they are on the

scoresheet, but Liverpool on the day
really a class apart.

Caught in possession dangerously. On
biomedicine, Jamie Vardy is

onside... And it seemed an
inevitability! And he is in front of

the Kop End are celebrating. It all
stemmed from the play being broken

down in midfield, the first time
pass from Addison was brilliant, and

Jamie Vardy, who was on a barren
without a goal, now has himself his

first of the season.

McBurnie! Welcome to Bramall Lane,
Oliver McBurnie, you are most

welcome! He has only been on the
field a few minutes! Christian

Fuchs. Brilliant hit! What a goal by
another substitute, and this time

it's Harvey Barnes. What a hit!
Simply unstoppable!

That is well won, and Jordan Ayew is
onside, and Crystal Palace have the

lead! Would you believe it? They
have barely been out of their own

half.

half. Palace have stunned Old
Trafford! Greenwood, Martial... Now,

then, is that a penalty? It is.
McTominay just

McTominay just caught by
Milivojevic. This time around it is

Marcus Rashford who has the honour.
Oh, and Rashford off the post! Would

you believe it?!

Good challenge from Pogba to win it
back. Zaha was a bit late on Pogba.

James... Oh, yes! Daniel James
scores for the second game running

at Old Trafford. But the
celebrations are short because

United think they can go on and win
this one. The challenge from Benteke

is fair. What are Palace going to do
here? Zaha in a bit of space, here

he is. Zaha still going... Van
Aanholt!

Aanholt! It is in, Palace have
surely won it, incredible! Typical

Roy Hodgson performance, you haven't
beaten man used since 1989 in the

league, I would have been six years
old at the time so it has been a

long time coming. Palace are
absolutely jubilant. What a climax.

And it's a straight red card. That
was a nasty challenge on Yan Valery.

Djenepo, the substitute, scores with
his first touch after coming off the

bench, Moussa Djenepo, the Mali
international, puts Southampton

ahead! What a way to announce your
arrival onto the field of play!

Sofiane Boufal, the substitute... It
is in from Nathan Redmond! Barely a

yard out, 2-0 Southampton! In added
time. It's their first win of the

season.

So, here's the table, Manchester
City go second, two points behind

Liverpool. Burnley have gone from
14th to sixth. Newcastle picked up

their first points under Steve
Bruce, although they stayed second

from bottom. Wolves have drawn their
first three league matches of the

season for only the second time in
their history. Here's 2 Good, 2 Bad.

And a couple of Harry Wilson's
former teammates, too shocked at his

freekick to join in the
celebrations. This mother and son at

Brighton, replicating teams all over
the country, as any parent will

know, trying to put suncream on
their kid... Just got caught on

camera. Watch Bernardo, drops
something from his mouth, aims to

kick

kick it, Mrs, hit his teammate, who
really didn't see the funny side.

And Jamie Vardy particularly happy,
as a Wednesday fan, celebrating in

front of the Sheffield United fans.
Thank you very much to Peter and

Alan. Following on from Jamie Vardy,
relishing celebrating in front of

the Sheffield United fans, we
thought we would leave you with some

others who had no problem winding up
the opposition fans. Good night.

Vardy, that seemed inevitable and
he's in front of the Kop End

celebrating! This is the chance!
That is the goal! It's been coming

all afternoon!

Look at the celebration, he is going
up to the Arsenal fans! Wayne

Rooney, going to celebrate in front
of the Manchester City fans! He is

running the length of the pitch, and
he's sat down in
