Manchester United 2-1 Brentford
Chris Sutton
Ex-Premier League striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
Image source, ReutersThe finish is a delight from Rasmus Hojlund.
He lifts the ball over Mark Flekken. The touch from Bruno Fernandes is sensational. Hojlund points to Fernandes as the touch on the outside of his right boot put him through.
Man Utd have played with such great fire and intensity in this second half.

2-0 up at half time. Five shots on target to their zero. This has got Ipswich 3-2 written all over it!
Ben (very nervous Toffees fan)
Fulham 1-2 Aston Villa
Image source, Getty ImagesIt gets even worse for Fulham.
Ollie Watkins beats Joachim Andersen, who's the last man when he then barges over the Villa forward.
Referee Darren England is given a very easy decision to make.
Rasmus Hojlund (Manchester United)
Image source, ReutersChristian Eriksen plays it to Bruno Fernandes and he makes a clever flick around the corner to free Rasmus Hojlund. It is a superbly calm finish too, dinking the ball over Mark Flekken and United, one down at the break, are two one up.
Newcastle 0-1 Brighton
Another Bart Verbruggen save. Alexander Isak's quick feet gives the forward half a yard inside the box, but his strike is blocked by the legs of the Brighton keeper.
Manchester United 1-1 Brentford
Brentford just can't get out. United look a completely different team. Alejandro Garnacho's tempting cross can't find a team-mate, before Bruno Fernandes glances a header well wide.
Southampton 2-1 Leicester
Southampton look to restore their two-goal lead sharply, and force a succession of corners.
Russel Martin also makes a double change - Cameron Archer and Mateus Fernandes are replaced by Paul Onuachu and Will Smallbone.
Also a sub for Leicester, as Jordan Ayew comes on for Bilal El Khannouss.

Garnacho is one of the few MU players that gives his all every game, regardless of whether he has a good or average game. Many of his teammates might want to take note!
Phillip, Bath
Ipswich Town 0-2 Everton
Image source, ReutersBack under way at Portman Road. Everton have thrown away two-goal leads against Bournemouth and Aston Villa and lost this season so can Ipswich do something equally sensational?
Fulham 1-2 Aston Villa
Leon Osman
Former Everton and England midfielder on BBC Final Score
Ollie Watkins is so underrated in the air. You would always fancy him in a one versus one, he uses the contact from Emile Smith-Rowe to make space for himself and it is a brilliant header. He had to use the power on the ball to guide it into the net, managed to reach it from behind him to smash it in.
Southampton 2-1 Leicester
Leicester, in scoring with their first shot on target today, maintain their record of netting in every league game this season.
Southampton remain without a clean sheet all campaign.
Newcastle 0-1 Brighton
Image source, PA MediaNewcastle still can't find that equaliser.
Alexander Isak's deflected shot is palmed away by Bart Verbruggen and Bruno Guimaraes' follow-up is blocked by a wall of Brighton defenders.
Fulham 1-2 Aston Villa
Ellen White
Former England striker on BBC Final Score
Ollie Watkins was struggling for goalscoring form at the start of the season but that goal shows how good he is. He just used Emile Smith-Rowe's contact on the edge of the six yard box to leap higher and he smashed his header into the back of the net.
Facundo Buonanotte (65 mins)
Image source, ReutersGame changer?
Abdul Fatawu makes a big difference after coming off the bench, beating his man down the right before a low cross which Facundo Buonanotte bundles home from six yards.
A nervy ripple goes around St Mary's.

Thanks Nacho for pulling Ten Hag out the mire......again. Looks like he's going to get another lucky result to stay in charge longer. Sigh.
Paul
Southampton 2-0 Leicester
Tyler Dibling, 18, looks the real deal.
The winger cuts in from the right, shooting left footed just inside the area to the keeper's near post. Mads Hermansen is down quick to smother that shot.
Southampton 2-0 Leicester
Facundo Buonanotte brings down Mateus Fernandes, and becomes the SEVENTH player booked today.
Five to Southampton, now two for Leicester.

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).
