    Brentford won promotion from League One last season and are in contention for promotion to the Premier League in this campaign. They lead 1-0 at Cardiff thanks to Alex Pritchard's goal, while Jordan Rhodes has put Blackburn ahead against Charlton.

    Darren Bent, who had cars worth £150,000 stolen from his house in the week, has given Brighton an early lead away at Wolves. Leaders Bournemouth are also ahead, with Matt Ritchie putting them in front at Blackpool.

    Instant redemption! Andy Carroll serves up a clinical finish to put the Hammers ahead, but what on earth is Paul Konchesky playing at here? The Leicester left back is facing his own goal on the halfway line, under pressure, and plays a 40-yard backpass right into Carroll's run. Dreadful. Carroll still had plenty to do but found a deft little finish to clip over the head of keeper Ben Hamer.

  4. SITTER!published at 15:24 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2014

    Oh dear! An absolute horror show from Andy Carroll. West Ham pump a trademark Big Sam free-kick right down the middle, the ball is flicked out wide and cut back to Carroll six yards out. Unmarked, the whole goal to aim at, he leans back and almost hits the camera right at the top of the stand.

    James Morrison wraps his arms around Leroy Fer at a corner and Craig Pawson points to the spot.

    "Wonderful goal from Christian Benteke gives Aston Villa the lead against Manchester United. He bent it like Benteke!"

    The unstoppable force of nature that is Harry Kane does it again - the young striker stooping to head home Nacer Chadli's cross from the left. The Burnley defence was caught napping by a quick free-kick, and they pay the ultimate price.

    "What a goal from Christian Benteke, but there was no way he should be allowed to bring that down on his chest. As he comes inside he whips his left foot right round the ball and sends it into the top corner. Now Villa have an issue - are they going to sit back? Or continue to play the way they have been?"

    "You can't stand and watch good players. Christian Benteke has the technique to do something like that. Finally, Aston Villa have given him the ball. He can't do things like that if he doesn't have the ball."

    The home support groans as Spurs roll a free-kick along the box but Ryan Mason blazes his shot over the bar. Story of the game so far.

    West Brom double their lead, with a really classy goal. Silvestre Varela plays a neat one-two with Stephane Sessegnon, strolling through a static QPR backline to thread a shot under the keeper and in.

    This is Christian Benteke at his best - bulldozer strength with the finesse of a Bentley.

    The Aston Villa striker tames a crossed free-kick on his chest, stands up defender Jonny Evans, spots a route to the top corner and curls a lovely finish past a rooted David De Gea.

    That is his second of the season. And it is against the run of play.

    "Manchester United have started well. They look bright. Rooney is dropping deep and is controlling the game with long range passes. Villa could catch them on the break, though. They have enough up top. They just need to be more direct."

    "West Brom's goal has come from a corner. You've always got to have one player in front of the attacking man and one player behind. It is naive defending from QPR and they have been punished for it."

    Left-back to left-back! Ryan Bertrand sends in a delicious low cross for Southampton, right in the danger zone, but counterpart Leighton Baines does really well to get across and clear from in front of the lurking Graziano Pelle. Shane Long then puts the afterburners on to drive in behind the Everton defence but Phil Jagielka does well to cover and get it away. Southampton on top.

    Jonjo Shelvey has his hand up but there is no way that he is keeping that goal out. The Swansea midfielder bought himself a yard of space with a neat feint, but his shot from 20 yards has caught a decisive deflection off Ki Sung-yueng.

    Allan McGregor could only watch it roll apologetically over the line.

    Manchester United have been hogging the ball, but they have not done anything special with it yet.

    Nothing much to report from Upton Park, with both sides rather cancelling each other out in the opening exchanges.
