Brentford 2-2 Ipswich
Well that was a lengthy bit of injury time at the end of the first half but what a half it's been. Ipswich in dream land after scoring two goals in three minutes but Brentford responded with two in two minutes.
That second Brentford goal has actually gone down as Harry Clark own goal.
What a second half we're in for.

If Haaland doesn't get a hattrick today, he is off my fantasy team!

Brentford 2-2 Ipswich
It's end to end at the Community Stadium!
A cross from midfield has too much on it for Bryan Mbeumo and it looks like an Ipswich goal kick will be the last act of the first half.
Brighton 1-0 Wolves
Advantage Brighton at the break thanks to goal machine Danny Welbeck.

Simon Stone
BBC Sport's chief football news reporter at the Etihad Stadium
Southampton manager Russell Martin ended the first half having a long chat with fourth official Sam Allison.
Martin is clearly not happy at some of the decisions that have gone against his side here.
He was nearly celebrating a Cameron Archer equaliser though.
Martin had his arms raised and was ready to jump as Archer shot before pulling back.

Chris Wise
BBC Radio 5 Live reporter at Amex Stadium
Of course if it's a Brighton goal then it will be a Danny Welbeck goal, because he is the only one scoring for them at the moment. That's four in five now for him, right before half time, and it is the sort of finish you see from a player that is super confident at the moment.

Aston Villa have had the chances but it is goalless at the break.

Saints learning from previous games that you can lose a game in the first half. If they can stay 1 behind for 90 minutes, anything can happen!

Chris Sutton
Ex-Premier League striker on Final Score
Game on now. The amount of chances that Ipswich have missed to take it to 3-0, you felt that Brentford could come back and they are level just before half time.

That was the last action of the first half. Southampton still in this. Manchester City will want a few more goals.
Man City 1-0 Southampton
Oooooh! Southampton have the chance to level things up just before half time but Cameron Archer's shot hammers off the bar!
That was the chance.

Aston Villa have some defending to do in these final minutes of the first half with Bournemouth finishing it strongly.
Brentford 2-2 Ipswich
The goal stands! A lengthy VAR check but Yoane Wissa is just onside and we're all square before the break.
Danny Welbeck (45+1 min)
Right before half time!
But it is a messy goal as far as Wolves are concerned as Jose Sa's clearance is straight to a Brighton player and the ball is worked to Danny Welbeck inside the box and the striker slots in for his sixth of the season.

Brentford are through again and it's Yoane Wissa again. He squirms past a couple of defenders and gets the shot away from a tight angle. Harry Clark tries to make a last-ditch block but it trickles over the line!
Two goals in two minutes and Brentford have cancelled out that lead just before half time.
Hang on, VAR are having a look at this, is he offside?

Martin Keown
Former England defender on Final Score
Southampton are so frightened to play the ball forwards but you can't just defend, defend, defend. You need to go forward. It's like a boxer, you can't just take punch after punch, at some point you need to throw one of your own.
Yoane Wissa (44 mins)
Good work from Brentford but Ipswich are carved open all too easily.
Vitaly Janelt whips in from the left-hand side and finds Yoane Wissa in front of goal who calmly places into the back of the net.
Brentford back in it.
Image source, Getty ImagesMan City 1-0 Southampton
Good defending from Jan Bednarek as the ball comes to Erling Haaland and it looks surely like another goal but his block is a crucial one and sends it back up the other end.
Flynn Downes brings down Bernardo Silva and he's into the book for his protestations against the free-kick. Russell Martin is also into the book for giving the officials grief.
Brighton 0-0 Wolves
Opportunities have dried up a bit in this one although Matheus Cunha chases a good ball forward and wins the battle with Igor Julio. He has no support, however, and by the time his team-mates arrive Brighton have sorted out their defence.

A striker's effort from Ezri Konsa as he sends a fierce effort towards goal but, not for the first time in this game, Mark Travers makes a good save.

Everton were unbeaten in their first 27 home league games against Fulham between 1949 and 2018 (W23 D4), winning each of the last 22 of those. Since then, they’ve lost their last three at home to the Cottagers.
Fulham are unbeaten in their last five Premier League games against Everton (W3 D2), keeping four clean sheets in the process. All three of those wins in that run have come at Goodison Park.
Since losing their first four Premier League matches this season, Everton are unbeaten in four games (W2 D2). Only once have the Toffees gone five unbeaten under Sean Dyche, doing so in April and May this year.
Fulham have scored the first goal in each of their last five Premier League games (W2 D1 L2), although they’ve lost the last two. Only six teams have lost three in a row after scoring first, most recently Sheffield United in April and May last season.
Everton have kept six clean sheets in their last seven Premier League games in October (W4 D2 L1), including both games this season. Since the 2022-23 season, the Toffees have averaged 0.75 points per game in August and September (P20 W3 D6 L11) compared to 1.55 points per game in October (W5 D2 L4).
Since Sean Dyche’s first Premier League games in charge of Everton, only Arsenal (33) have scored more goals via set pieces (excl. pens) than the Toffees (27).
Fulham manager Marco Silva has won each of his last two away Premier League games against Everton, whom he managed 53 times between August 2018 and December 2019. In Premier League history, the only manager to win away at his former club more than twice in a row was Harry Redknapp at West Ham between 2006 and 2009 (five in a row).
Everton have made just 22 substitutions in the Premier League this season, fewer than any other side. Since the 2014-15 season, among managers to take charge of 50+ games, Sean Dyche has made the fewest subs per game of any manager (2.4).
Dwight McNeil has been involved in six goals in his last six Premier League appearances (3 goals, 3 assists) for Everton. He’s only the third Toffees player with three goals and three assists in the opening eight games of a season, after Francis Jeffers in 1999-00 and James Rodriguez in 2020-21.
Raúl Jiménez has scored or assisted in each of his last five Premier League appearances for Fulham (4 goals, 1 assist). No Cottagers player has done so in six games in a row, while only three players have scored or assisted in six in a row aged 33 or older: Gus Poyet aged 34 in 2001, Dennis Bergkamp aged 35 in 2004 and Zlatan Ibrahimovic aged 35 in 2017.
