Rob Green
Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live at the Gtech Community Stadium
Brilliant from Brentford. They are with the manager and they have made it their game.
FT: Man City 0-2 Tottenham
Tottenham boss Thomas Frank told BBC Sport: "Very pleasing result and overall performance.
"The first 35 minutes City were slightly on top. That goal helped. A big thing in these games against City, who are a top team, is stay in the game and keep doing what you're doing.
"In the second half we were exceptional in many ways. We constantly went for the 3-0 goal which unfortunately we didn't get.
"It was the second clean sheet in a row. Last year we got six. That's been a big thing for me.
"I loved Brentford and I am falling in love with this club here.
"Last season was a tough season ending on high. I came into the club and saw a strong mentality and togetherness with the players.
"The team all performed so well and worked so hard. Very happy.
"It's probably one of the better ones [wins], coming here to Etihad and Pep's City is a tough task. It's one game at a time and put as many top performances and magical moments in and see where we are."
Brentford 1-0 Aston Villa
Advantage Brentford at the break.

Premier League match centre via X on the decision to disallow Mikel Damsgaard's goal for a foul in the build up:
"The referee’s call of no goal following a foul by Collins on Martínez was checked and confirmed by VAR - with it deemed that Collins carelessly challenged the goalkeeper."

Ollie Watkins has been quiet so far in this game but he has half a chance on the edge of the area, but his shot is deflected behind for a corner.

Former Brighton striker on Final Score
I think that should have been a goal. If you are going to come into traffic as a goalkeeper you have to be big and strong. Martinez feels a slight bit of contact and goes down.
Collins is looking at the ball the whole time and Martinez waves at it and doesn't get the contact and then it falls to the feet of Damsgaard who drills it into the goal. Villa are fortunate not to be 2-0 down.
Burnley 0-0 Sunderland
Goalless at the break, with Jaidon Anthony going close just before half time.

David Brooks sends in the corner but Matt Doherty gets up well to clear before the half-time whistle blows.
Work for Wolves to do.
Burnley 0-0 Sunderland
Hannibal Mejbri wins possession and drives forward for Burnley, he tries to flick the ball through for Lyle Foster but the Sunderland defence intercepts.
Moments later, Jaidon Anthony heads just wide for Burnley.
Bournemouth 1-0 Wolves
Evanilson turns and finds David Brooks rushing forward. He has a go from the angle in the box but it's turned behind for a late corner.

In terms of creating stuff and opening up Brentford there has been so little from Aston Villa.

Chris Sutton
Former Premier League striker on Final Score
Collins just leans into Martinez and knocks him a little bit, which stops him from coming out for the cross. The goal that Manchester United conceded to Arsenal last weekend was similar and that stood. If I was Brentford I would be pointing that out to the PGMOL. It is a brilliant finish from Damsgaard.

It is soft. There is contact, but the contact from Nathan Collins isn't a great deal.
Bournemouth 1-0 Wolves
Antoine Semenyo's long throw into the box eventually lands at the feet of Alex Scott, who then lashes one high and wide.

It's been eight years since Sunderland have been in the Premier League and they have been through a lot of issues in that time with different owners but it looks like they have a good owner now.

Brentford think they have a second as Mikkel Damsgaard volleys in superbly, but the celebrations are shortlived as the goal is ruled out with Nathan Collins deemed to have fouled Emi Martinez.
Bournemouth 1-0 Wolves
We've got five minutes added on at the end of this first half but Wolves won't want it to end as they come on strong looking for an equaliser.

Mikkel Damsgaard making the run and Brentford wanted it to be Kevin Schade charging through.
The breakaway and opportunity is there for Brentford.
Bournemouth 1-0 Wolves
David Brooks and Joao Gomes enjoy a little wrestling match as the corner comes in. Jose Sa comes and misses the ball but Tyler Adams is left on the deck.

Sunderland haven't sat back as the away team.
Burnley have tried to get after Sunderland as the home team.
It has been decent enough entertainment.

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 14 meetings with Leeds in all competitions (W12 D2), winning each of the last six in a row.
Leeds have lost 10 of their last 12 Premier League away games against Arsenal (W2), while they’ve not kept a clean sheet in any of their last 14 at the Gunners.
Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 42 Premier League home games against promoted sides (W37 D5), since a 1-0 loss to Newcastle in November 2010. Avoiding defeat here would see them equal the competition’s longest run without a home defeat against promoted teams – 43 by Chelsea between 2001 and 2015.
Leeds have lost 23 of their last 30 away league matches in London (W4 D3), while in the Premier League they’ve lost their last seven in a row since a 2-1 win at Brentford on the final day of 2021-22.
Arsenal’s winner against Manchester United was via a header from Riccardo Calafiori from a corner, their 31st Premier League corner goal since 2023-24 – 11 more than any other side. Their xG from set plays was more than any other side on MD1 (1.02) but their open play xG was the third lowest (0.28), ahead only of Aston Villa and Everton.
Leeds started their 2025-26 Premier League campaign with victory over Everton on Monday night. The Whites are looking to win their opening two Premier League games in a season for the first time since 2002-03 under Terry Venables.
Daniel Farke has won each of his last two Premier League matches (Brentford 1-2 Norwich in November 2021, Leeds 1-0 Everton on Monday), the first time he’s ever won consecutive games in the competition. Of current managers, only Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola are on longer current winning runs (3 each).
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has faced Leeds more often without losing than any other side as Gunners boss in all competitions (P8 W7 D1), winning all five at the Emirates against the Whites.
Viktor Gyökeres failed to attempt a single shot on his Premier League debut for Arsenal; the first time since the start of 2023-24 he hasn’t had one in a top-flight league match. He was, however, directly involved in 14 goals in 12 appearances against newly promoted sides in the Portuguese Primeira Liga for Sporting (9 goals, 5 assists).
Against Everton, Lukas Nmecha became just the second player in Leeds United’s history to score a penalty on his debut for the club, along with Percy Whipp in 1922. The three players to score in their first two Premier League appearances for Leeds are Alan Smith in 1998 and Patrick Bamford and Mateusz Klich both in 2020.
