Man City 4-1 Ipswich
The Etihad has already begun to empty with the three points safe.
Things do at least get a bit easier for Ipswich now after beginning their season against Liverpool and the champions.
A minute or so remains.
Fulham 2-1 Leicester
A nice bit of keep ball in the corner from the hosts as final whistle sounds. Fulham are up and running for the season.
FT: Tottenham 4-0 Everton

Image source, Getty ImagesNineteen-year-old defender Roman Dixon deserves some praise for his Everton debut.
He is coming out of it having won a fair few one-on-one duels versus Wilson Odobert and Son Heung-min.
It has been a real baptism of fire without any protection in front of him but he can hold his head high.
It is understood that he may go on loan still before deadline day but this might give manager Sean Dyche food for thought as he steps in as an enforced change with Ashley Young suspended.
FT: Southampton 0-1 Nottingham Forest
Morgan Gibbs-White proves to be the match-winner at Southampton.
Forest have their first win of the season. The Saints have to wait for theirs.
Tottenham 4-0 Everton
A horrible day for Everton. Tottenham's season is up and running.

Former England defender on Final Score
Erling Haaland is bullying defenders. You know that you have to get close to him, if you don't he will just take advantage. He sees the chance there, turns and swivels on the ball and thunders it into the bottom corner.
Crystal Palace 0-2 West Ham
All over at Selhurst Park and it's the visitors celebrating a fairly comfortable win in the end.
A pretty abject second-half performance from Crystal Palace, mind.
Southampton 0-1 Nottingham Forest
Seconds left for Southampton to find an equaliser...
Crystal Palace 0-2 West Ham
Can Niclas Fullkrug round off a fine West Ham win with a goal? No. The Germany midfielder finds the side netting.
Fulham 2-1 Leicester
Six of one surely. Fulham midfielder Harry Wilson wants a penalty as he goes down after tussling with Oliver Skipp in the Leicester box but he also had a big chunk of a blue shirt in his left hand as well.
Erling Haaland
Another Haaland hat-trick...
The ball breaks at the edge of the box and the big Norwegian just swivels to fire a low left-footed shot into the bottom corner.
He stands with his arms wide to celebrate. Goal machine.

This has been painful for Everton but it is an afternoon Harrison Armstrong will not forget in a hurry. The 17-year-old midfielder has just come on for his Everton debut.

We're short of players but in picking the team he has Dyche deserves nothing less than this horrific result.
Ste, Merseyside
Anyone who doesn't think Everton will struggle to stay up, injuries or not, and at least one person on here has tried to suggest otherwise, must be watching the Premier League blindfolded. They look awful.

Crystal Palace 0-2 West Ham
It has not been Eberechi Eze's day really. The Crystal Palace attacker hit the bar earlier on, fluffed his lines when in on goal a few minutes back and he now blasts a free-kick well over the West Ham bar.
Southampton 0-1 Nottingham Forest
Southampton's players are furious as the referee stops play because one of the Forest defenders is down with cramp in the box, allowing the away side to regroup and potentially waste a few seconds.
There will be six minutes added on.

Anon: People saying about Everton deserving to go down, surely that honour belongs to Palace. Year after year they sack their manager then avoid relegation by the skins of their teeth despite being in the drop zone for most of the season. Makes a mockery of the league in my opinion.
Tottenham 4-0 Everton
Any fears Son Heung-min might feel pressure after being entrusted with the captain's armband have well and truly been extinguished.
Son has scored two goals in a game for the first time since September 2023 against Arsenal.
Image source, Getty ImagesCrystal Palace 0-2 West Ham
Hit it. Hit it. Hit it. Oh....Eberechi Eze goes through on goal for the hosts, threatens to shoot but then stumbles and falls over his own feet in the West Ham penalty area.
Crystal Palace are staring down the barrel of a second London derby defeat in consecutive games.
Southampton 0-1 Nottingham Forest
It's not a shot on target but this might be as close as Southampton have come to a goal!
Charlie Taylor flashes a cross across goal but Cameron Archer fails to convert from close range.
Three minutes to go.

Image source, Getty ImagesAfter surviving a painful first-half tackle, Micky van de Ven has produced a special moment to show that he is fully fit.
He took charge of a stray Everton pass on the edge of his own box, dribbled 60 yards up the field and put a chance on a plate for Son Heung-min to finish and make it 4-0.
Chants of "Micky van de Ven" have been ringing around the stadium all match since his painful collision and he is again being acknowledged by Spurs fans, delighted with a big win in their first home game of the season.
But this is ominous for Sean Dyche, who is stood near motionless on the touchline, having seen his side well beaten, conceding seven goals in their first two matches of the season.

Aston Villa did the double over Arsenal last season, accounting for 40% of the Gunners’ Premier League defeats (2/5). They’ve beaten Arsenal in three consecutive Premier League meetings twice before – November 1993 and February 2021.
Arsenal have won 14 away Premier League games against Aston Villa, with those 14 wins at Villa Park their joint most at a single away venue in the competition (also 14 at Selhurst Park).
Aston Villa have won five of their last nine Premier League meetings with Arsenal (L4), keeping a clean sheet each time. It’s as many wins as they’d managed in their previous 46 against the Gunners (D14 L27).
Arsenal have scored 98 Premier League goals against Aston Villa, only netting more against Everton (124), West Ham (109) and Tottenham (105). Only Liverpool and Manchester United (5 opponents each) have netted 100+ Premier League goals against more different sides.
Aston Villa are looking to win their opening two Premier League matches in a season for a fourth time, also doing so in 1995-96, 1999-00 and 2020-21.
Arsenal have won eight of their nine Premier League away games so far in 2024 (D1), scoring 28 goals, conceding three and keeping seven clean sheets. Indeed, the Gunners have kept 21 away clean sheets over the last two seasons (10 in 2022-23, 11 in 2023-24), more than they had in the four previous campaigns combined (20).
Aston Villa are the only side to beat Arsenal in the Premier League in 2024, winning 2-0 in April. The Gunners have won 17 of 19 games this calendar year (D1 L1); in Football League history, the most wins by a side in their first 20 matches in a year is 18, won by Liverpool in 1982 and Man City in both 2019 and 2021.
Since February 17 when Arsenal beat Burnley 5-0, no player in the Premier League has more goals and assists combined than Kai Havertz (10 goals, 7 assists). However, Havertz is yet to score or assist in seven games against Aston Villa, the most he has faced an opponent without doing so.
Among all Premier League players with 5+ goals, Aston Villa’s Jhon Durán has the second-best minutes per goal ratio (six goals, one every 103 mins), behind only Erling Haaland (one every 85 mins). Five of his six goals have been as a sub (83%), the second-highest ratio by a player in Premier League history (min. 5 goals), behind Matt Derbyshire, who scored nine of his 10 goals as a sub.
Bukayo Saka has been on the winning side in 99 of his 171 Premier League games for Arsenal. Victory here will see him become the fourth player to win 100 in the competition before turning 23 after Wayne Rooney, Cesc Fàbregas and Phil Foden.
