  1. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:23 British Summer Time 18 October 2014

    Manchester City send on Yaya Toure for Fernando. They want to grind Tottenham into the ground now. The visitors don't deserve to be hammered - they've been better than this.

    "Sergio Aguero has been outstanding today. He has given the Spurs defence trouble all day and the third Tottenham centre-half who has come on, Jan Vertonghen, was woeful. He never put enough pressure on Aguero and Joe Hart had no chance whatsoever in stopping the shot."

    "He's very good at football," says the man sat to my right. He certainly is.

    The ball is played into the channel and picked up by Sergio Aguero who cuts inside before burying a shot, via a slight deflection off Spurs substitute Jan Vertonghen, across the keeper and into the bottom corner. Four goals now for the little Argentine.

    BBC Sport's Chris Bevan at Etihad Stadium

    "Manchester City's third goal from the game's fourth penalty has given them some breathing space at last but there is still a bit of tension around Etihad Stadium because, from what we have seen so far, Spurs are not finished yet. Their fans are still as noisy as ever, urging their team to get at City's nervy-looking defence, but it looks a big ask for Tottenham's 10 men to get anything from what has been a crazy afternoon."

    The English league record of five penalties in a game still stands. They were awarded when Crystal Palace met Brighton on 27 March 1989. Palace won 2-1, scoring just one of four penalties while Brighton scored from their only spot-kick. The ref was Kelvin Morton.

    Mark from Nottinghamshire: How is that possibly a red card? Ref's having an absolute shocker.

    Matt in Bolton: Joe Hart, you beauty! Thanks for keeping my accumulator alive.

    Bob: Oh my beloved Spurs, how you do love to hit the self-destruct button...

    "Sergio Aguero is a natural goalscorer. His third penalty of the day, but there was no pressure, he knew exactly what he was going to do. He has been the difference in this game.

    "Both Tottenham centre-backs have struggled with Aguero's movement and pace. Federico Fazio just pulls him and spins him to the ground for the penalty, and is sent off."

    He doesn't miss two in a row, does he? Sergio Aguero strokes the ball home for his third Manchester City hat-trick, on the same day he becomes the club's record scorer in the Premier League.

  12. RED CARD FOR FEDERICO FAZIOpublished at 14:12 British Summer Time 18 October 2014

    On his Premier League debut, Federico Fazio is sent for an early bath. The Argentine sees red for denying Aguero a clear goalscoring opportunity, on balance probably the right decision.

    I'll throw this out there, though. Navas's cross got past two defenders before it got to the path of Aguero. If either of those had cut it out, would Fazio still have been shown the door?

  13. PENALTY FOR MAN CITYpublished at 14:11 British Summer Time 18 October 2014

    What's going on here? A fourth penalty of the match is awarded by Jon Moss when Federico Fazio pulls back Sergio Aguero, and prevents the City striker getting on the end of Jesus Navas's cross.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:11 British Summer Time 18 October 2014

    Amid all the excitement of penalties, I didn't have time to mention that Spurs have made a double change. Mousa Dembele and Andros Townsend have replaced Etienne Capoue and Erik Lamela.

  15. Team newspublished at 14:11 British Summer Time 18 October 2014

    Red-hot striker Diego Costa misses out for Chelsea, so Loic Remy starts up front. Willian is also in as John Terry captains Chelsea for the 500th time. Palace make one change - Brede Hangeland replaces Scott Dann.

    Palace: Speroni, Kelly, Hangeland, Delaney, Ward, Bolasie, Jedinak, McArthur, Ledley, Puncheon, Campbell. Subs: Mariappa, Guedioura, Doyle, Zaha, Hennessey, Gayle, Chamakh.

    Chelsea: Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Matic, Fabregas; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Remy. Subs: Cech, Luis, Zouma, Salah, Mikel, Drogba, Solanke.

    Cardiff survive a frantic few minutes as Russell Slade earns his first win in his debut as the Bluebirds boss. And that means Nottingham Forest boss Stuart Pearce suffers his first Championship defeat since returning in the summer.

  17. GREAT SAVE!published at 14:10 British Summer Time 18 October 2014

    Joe Hart is keeping Manchester City in this one - making a fine, almost point-blank, save with his legs from Roberto Soldado's snap-shot 12 yards from goal.

    "An excellent save by Joe Hart. You feel for Roberto Soldado, he placed it in the corner but Hart went early. The penalty was awarded after a clumsy clearance by Gael Clichy, Roberto Soldado got ahead of Martin Demichelis, and Demichelis just catches him. The contact might have been just outside of the box but Soldado fell into the box and that won it.

    "It's end to end stuff. A very close game, finely balanced."

  19. Team newspublished at 14:08 British Summer Time 18 October 2014

    Three changes for injury-hit Arsenal as Arsene Wenger names a makeshift defence in his starting XI. Teenage right-back Hector Bellerin starts, while left-back Nacho Monreal lines up in an unfamiliar centre-back role. England winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is also promoted from the bench.

    Arsenal: Szczesny, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Monreal, Gibbs, Flamini, Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla, Sanchez, Welbeck. Subs: Martinez, Ajayi, Coquelin, Arteta, Rosicky, Ramsey, Campbell.

    Steve Bruce makes just one change to the Hull City side that beat Crystal Palace 2-0 last time out, with Hatem Ben Arfa coming into the XI in place of Abel Hernandez.

    Hull: Harper; Chester, Davies, Dawson; Elmohamady, Huddlestone, Livermore, Diame, Robertson; Ben Arfa; Jelavic. Subs: Jakupovic, Rosenior, Bruce, Brady, Ramirez, Quinn, Hernandez.

  20. PENALTY SAVEDpublished at 14:07 British Summer Time 18 October 2014

    Roberto Soldado steps up... it's saved. Joe Hart guesses right and makes a strong one-handed save down to his right.
