Ipswich Town 0-2 Everton

BBC Final Score at Portman Road

Back under way at St Mary's.
Ipswich Town 0-2 Everton
No joy for Kalvin Phillips. His free-kick is over the wall, but also over the bar. Everton good value for their lead, with Ipswich's defending once again looking Championship-standard at best.
Newcastle 0-1 Brighton
We're off again in Newcastle.
Six of the home side's eight league goals this season have been scored in the second half.
Southampton 2-0 Leicester City
Steve Cooper is clearly unhappy with Leicester's first half display - as he should be.
Harry Winks is sent on at half time, replacing Oliver Skipp.
Ipswich Town 0-2 Everton
Ipswich really need to score before half-time. They get a free-kick in a good spot as Idrissa Gueye brings down Liam Delap.

Anyone complaining about Utd having De Light off the pitch, their medical team had two prior opportunities to properly treat it. That error was why he was off the pitch.
Tommy K
What's the controversy?! Since when did matches wait for treated players to return? Or am I missing something !!?

Image source, Getty ImagesI don't think Manchester United have a point here. That is the third occasion that Matthijs de Ligt has had to go off because of this cut to his head. Two previous times they have failed to secure the wound, whether that be to stitch it or put a substitution on.
We had been asking for five or ten minutes before the goal, 'how is he still on the pitch?' The blood is pouring down his face so the referee has to send him off the pitch. On top of that the marking from Dalot is poor.

Man Utd can moan as much as they like. It's a head injury and De Ligt is right to go off.
It takes nothing away from the goal, it was a brilliant header from Ethan Pinnock. Casemiro should do better he doesn't read the flight of the ball very well.
There's a huge second half coming up for Erik ten Hag and Manchester United.
Manchester United had felt their way into the game. Brentford had the better of the play in the early exchanges. It is a pretty average performance from Man Utd and everybody expects more.

Simon Stone
BBC Sport's chief football news reporter at Old Trafford
Let me recap what happened there.
Brentford get a corner, referee Sam Barrott makes Matthijs de Ligt go to the touchline to get treatment as the cut on his head has reopened.
Brentford take the corner and score.
United assistant manager Ruud van Nistelrooy goes to fourth official Gavin Ward in a fury. De Ligt kicks out at something on the touchline. Erik ten Hag also marches out to shout at the fourth official.
Definitiely Van Nistelrooy and I think Ten Hag booked.
Man Utd in trouble.

Re Bevan: Southgate used Dunk in some of the Euro warm ups and he looked completely out of his depth against international opposition
Andrew
I hope Tuchel was watching when Dunk was shown to be nowhere near a top international defender when actually playing international football

Michael Keane
Image source, Getty ImagesEverton get a corner on the left and once again Ipswich Town's defending is very poor. Dwight McNeil is able to skilfully spin on the edge of the penalty area, he slides it left to Michael Keane, who blasts a finish past Arijanet Muric at his near post and into the roof of the net.
Ipswich have not won this season, it doesn't look like ending today.
Manchester United 0-1 Brentford
Huge controversy as Brentford lead, scoring when United were down to 10 men with Matthijs de Ligt off the pitch with his head wound being treated.
FT: Tottenham 4-1 West Ham
West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui speaking to TNT Sports, first on Mohammed Kudus' red card: "I can't see the action on the TV but we have to accept and this is the kind of action we have to avoid. We need the right behaviour to compete and fight until the end with 11 players.
"For sure we are disappointed. We came here with big expectations, knowing the difficulties we would have against Tottenham, who are one of the best teams in the Premier League. In the same way, trying to believe in us.
"We did well in a lot of moments until the first minutes in the second half and the second goal.
"We have to keep our principles until the end to be able to be strong as a team in the bad moments. That is one thing we have to learn.
"Bad things happen but you have to compete until the end with the right mentality".

Cooper needs to go before it's too late. Bizarre appointment that's now backed up with indefensible team decisions (Ricardo? Winks? Fatawu?) and the players looking like there is no plan and they're not being coached. Complete opposite of last year where our identity was clear every week.
Ben
Is it possible to sack a manager at half time? Because Cooper needs to go now!!

Ethan Pinnock
Image source, ReutersWith United defender Matthis de Ligt off the pitch having his head wound being treated, Brentford capitalise. A corner comes in from the left and Ethan Pinnock rises well and powers a header into the net.
United boss Erik ten Hag is furious and talks himself into a yellow card.

The defender has stepped in the middle of the ball and the striker, in the middle of the run really. Jack Clarke initiated the contact, he kicked Dwight McNeil and then went to ground, but McNeil positioned himself between the forward and the ball.
It is a bit of a grey area and is all about the referee's opinion.
Southampton 2-0 Leicester
Image source, PA MediaIt is going very, very well for Southampton in the battle of promoted sides. They are 45 minutes from a first league win this season.
Leicester are booed off by their travelling fans.

Bournemouth have lost 11 of their 14 Premier League games against Arsenal, though all three exceptions have been in home games (3-3 in January 2017, 2-1 in January 2018, 1-1 in December 2019).
Since Bournemouth returned to the Premier League in 2022, Arsenal have won all four of their meetings with the Cherries by an aggregate score 13-2, netting 3+ goals each time.
Each of Bournemouth’s last 10 Premier League wins have been against sides in the bottom half of the table. The Cherries are winless in their last 11 against sides in the top half since beating Manchester United 3-0 in December last year (D4 L7).
Arsenal’s 3-1 win over Southampton last time out was their 1,999th top-flight win. Victory here will see them become the second side to reach 2,000, after Liverpool (2,065).
Arsenal are unbeaten in all 10 of their games in all competitions so far this season (W7 D3) – they last had a longer unbeaten run from the start of a campaign in 2007-08 (first 21).
Bournemouth have had more shot ending high turnovers than any other side in the Premier League this season (18), while only three sides have faced fewer such shots than the Cherries (6).
Arsenal have won 10 of their 12 away Premier League games so far in 2024, with their only two failures both coming away against Manchester City (0-0 in March, 2-2 in September).
Bukayo Saka has scored 49 Premier League goals for Arsenal. Aged 23 years and 44 days on the day of this game, a goal against Bournemouth would make him the youngest to net 50 for the club in the competition (11th player overall).
Kai Havertz has been involved in 20 goals in his last 21 Premier League appearances (13 goals, 7 assists). His first goal for Arsenal came in this exact fixture last season, netting a penalty in a 4-0 victory.
No player has more secondary assists (the pass before the assist) in the Premier League this season than Arsenal’s Thomas Partey (3).
