    Tottenham 1-0 Fulham

    Boos from the Tottenham fans as referee Darren Bond opts not to book Sasa Lukic for a late tackle on Son Heung-min.

    The referee played a good advantage but opts not to go back to issue a second yellow card for Lukic.

    Approaching the hour mark at Stamford Bridge.

    This is so, so comfortable for Chelsea.

    Unai Emery needs to do something quickly. His team is facing an eighth game without a win in all competitions.

    Absolutely sick of this Villa team, we weren’t this bad under Gerrard!

    Lewis, Villa fan

    As bad as the Gerrard era? Seems extremely fickle for fans of a Villa side who qualified for the Champions League, have beaten Bayern Munich, drawn with Juventus, and are three points off sixth in the Premier League. It's congested at the top half of the Premier League, and most other clubs are not playing Champions League football on top. Let's see how the whole season shakes out rather than panic after a poor run.

    Ex-Tottenham midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live Online

    We've just been saying that Fulham needed to take one of their chances then Tottenham go up the other end and score.

    This is where Brennan Johnson comes to life, he's so sharp. It's a side-foot volley into the roof of the net.

    It's a really good goal.

    Man Utd 3-0 Everton

    I've lost count of the amount of times that Man Utd have got in behind the Everton defence.

    They do so again, but Jordan Pickford is out and able to tackle Bruno Fernandes.

    Chelsea drive forward at pace after Enzo Fernandez sparks an attack. It ends with Nicolas Jackson firing over.

    Everton aren't doing too badly. It's such a strange thing to say at 3-0 down but they are playing with a little bit of confidence. They aren't creating the chances they should do but they don't look like a bad team out there.

    GOAL - Tottenham 1-0 Fulhampublished at 14:43 Greenwich Mean Time 1 December 2024

    Brennan Johnson

    Miss chances and you'll get punished in the Premier League.

    Fulham have absolutely dominated the second half, but they haven't been able to apply the finishing touch and go behind.

    Timo Werner dinks a ball to the back post and Brennan Johnson opens his body and slots home.

    Lovely finish.

    All the talk before this game was about Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez and his poor form. All the talk during the game has been about Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez and his mistakes.

    Fraser Forster may not have the passing ability of Gigi Vicario, but he definitely has the shot stopping. Two excellent point-blank saves already in the second half to keep Spurs level.

    Shoutout too for Reiss Nelson controlling a cross-field pass with his back, before setting up the latest chance for Alex Iwobi. That would have been one of the assists of the season.

  11. Postpublished at 14:42 Greenwich Mean Time 1 December 2024

    Tottenham 0-0 Fulham

    Fulham come again but Raul Jimenez can't get enough power on the header to really test Fraser Forster.

    There's cheers of encouragement, or perhaps nerves, from the Spurs fans.

    Andy Reid
    Ex-Tottenham midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live Online

    We asked Reiss Nelson for a bit of magic in the last attack and he's put a brilliant ball in there.

    Issa Diop should head it back across the goalkeeper.

  13. GREAT SAVE!published at 14:41 Greenwich Mean Time 1 December 2024

    Tottenham 0-0 Fulham

    It's all Fulham.

    Another chance for Alex Iwobi, but he has to adjust his body to be able to hook the bouncing ball goalwards.

    That allows Fraser Forster to come out and spread himself and block the eventual effort with an outstretched arm.

    Forster has been very good so far.

    Emi Martinez, who we saw got injured in the first half after inexplicably giving the ball away to Nicolas Jackson.

    Jackson in his attempt to regain control of the ball fell on Martinez - it's clearly an injury that he cannot continue with.

  15. YELLOW CARDpublished at 14:40 Greenwich Mean Time 1 December 2024

    Lisandro Martinez is into the book after a trip on Beto.

    The defender can't quite believe it, but John Brooks is adamant.

  17. GREAT SAVE!published at 14:39 Greenwich Mean Time 1 December 2024

    Tottenham 0-0 Fulham

    Fulham have definitely created the better chances in north London.

    A deep cross finds Issa Diop at the back post. He powers a header down into the ground, but Fraser Forster is able to block behind with his legs.

    The resulting corner comes to nothing.

    Aston Villa look off.

    They have had one or two chances. It's a big ask for a goalkeeper to come on and get up to speed.

    A defeat today would be a big setback for Aston Villa.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:39 Greenwich Mean Time 1 December 2024

    Confirmed. Robin Olsen is on for Emi Martinez.

    Aston Villa's World Cup-winning goalkeeper did go down awkwardly a couple of times in the first half but he was also guilty of a couple of mistakes.
