    Fulham 1-0 Brighton

    We're into two minutes of stoppage time and Fulham should be 2-0 up! Rodrigo Muniz climbs well to meet Antonee Robinson's cross but his header is wide again.

    Counteracting playing out from the back has got a lot better, as most teams play that way. Interesting to see Liverpool this season frequently going relatively early with an out ball clipped to Salah on the halfway line. He can hold it up, win something, or drive forward. Should other teams be looking for alternatives to suit their strengths?

    Play resumes as Sander Berge rejoins the action with a tissue stuffed up his nose. We've all been there.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Tottenham

    Tottenham forward Dejan Kulusevski gets in a cheeky little nutmeg. Don't often see them 90 seconds into a game.

    The error from Brighton was comical, we’re seeing more and more mistakes playing out from the back ending in goals! Especially hurts when it’s your FPL keeper.

    Matt O'Riley tries to dink the ball into the far post and Lewis Dunk has gone early and he might have given a foul away too. I thought they might have gone for the shot there.

    Kepa and Forster as the goalkeepers in pretty crazy conditions in Bournemouth? Surely it's gonna be raining goals!

    Well I say the week, but there is a new round of games on Saturday.

    Fulham 1-0 Brighton

    Matt O'Riley's delivery is well attacked by Lewis Dunk and it falls to Mats Wieffer to have a go. Sander Berge takes it flush in the face and he's got a bit of blood coming from his nose.

    Fulham 1-0 Brighton

    Simon Adingra just isn't on the same wavelength as his team-mates so far in this game. He picks the ball up in another good position but his pass is behind Matt O'Riley and the attack breaks down.

    Although, it doesn't really matter now Alex Iwobi gives away a free kick in a decent position.

    Brighton's lofty league position is well deserved but I'm wondering how they got there the way they play out so catastrophically and so often from the back.

    Fulham are getting a bit shaky now. Brighton have just started to turn the screw and are looking dangerous.

    Fulham 1-0 Brighton

    The corner is well cleared by Fulham and Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler is looking extremely frustrated in the stands as he serves a one-game touchline ban.

    Fulham 1-0 Brighton

    Brighton are passing with a bit more intent now as they win another corner. The pressure is being piled on.

  15. 'Adingra should really score'published at 20:07 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December

    It is the first time Antonee Robinson has been caught square on and Kaoru Mitoma whips a wonderful ball into such a dangerous area. Simon Adingra should really score. He is running onto it, six or seven yards out, he has to pass that into a corner.

    I’m happy ange has dropped son tonight, it’s obvious his mother time has caught up with him. Anything less than a 3-0 win and I’d be disappointed.

    Fulham 1-0 Brighton

    How have Brighton not scored?! Kaoru Mitoma fires the ball across the box and Simon Adingra must think he's scored but he fires it straight at Bernd Leno and it somehow stays 1-0.

  18. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:03 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December

    Fulham 1-0 Brighton

    OUCH. Sander Berge goes into the book for a very robust tackle through the back of Joao Pedro. Never a red card but I bet that hurt!

    Fulham 1-0 Brighton

    Brighton continue to probe but Fulham actually look pretty comfortable at the back as they make it difficult for Brighton to create chances. Going to take something special from the visitors.

  20. 'Fulham closing passing lanes for Brighton'published at 20:01 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December

    Stephen Kelly

    Fulham are getting back and closing those passing lanes for Brighton. The balls into the feet of Joao Pedro and Kaoru Mitoma are being cut out, they are trying their best to keep those players out of the pockets.
