    "Ben Osborn won the ball into his own half and just ran at the heart of the Tottenham defence. He was very unlucky to see it bounce back off the crossbar."

    What an effort! Brilliant run from Forest youngster Ben Osborn! He runs from his own half, nutmegs one man and then curls an effort against the underside of the crossbar and away! Superb.

    Burnley defender, and BBC summariser, Steven Reid: "Sagna found room down the right - not for the first time - as City target Sheffield Wednesday's left-hand side. It's a good contact from Milner, keeping it low, but it is a good save by Kirkland.

    "Man City are quickening the tempo and their injection of pace in the last few minutes has caused problems for Sheffield Wednesday."

    So close again for Andre Schurrle! The German forward is denied by a superb fingertip save by Andy Lonergan, pushing his free-kick onto the woodwork. Chelsea all over them...

    Spurs having a good spell of play but Forest are extremely well drilled, there's no space for the white shirts to run into. Pretty quiet around the Lane.

    "Tottenham are really putting Forest under pressure, closing them down. That's why the visitors are playing lots of long, hopeful balls out from the back."

    Tricky feet from Chelsea playmaker Oscar, but he can't get his shot on target. Steady dominance from Chelsea so far.

    Burnley defender and BBC summariser Steven Reid: "That was a fantastic ball from Maghoma and a great chance for Gary Madine. He will be disappointed that he didn't test Willy Caballero there. I'm very surprised because he is useful in the air.

    "It has been a decent start from Wednesday, they look comfortable in their surroundings and are knocking the ball around."
