    "Great goal and another good ball into the box. We have seen some good balls into the box this afternoon and it was another good header from Austin and a great celebration too in reference to Hull pulling out of that move, over worries about his knee."

    Opta Joe:, external 8 - Joey Barton has been shown a card in each of his last eight PL appearances (7 yellows, one red). Anger.

    "For the sending off, it's daft from Joey Barton, right in front of the referee (see 15:32). If you throw a punch you deserve to be sent off. Initially we saw footage of a shove on Alex Bruce, and we thought he had been sent off for that. But on a replay we've since seen him throw a punch at Tom Huddlestone. This is a relegation dogfight game. Joey should have learned from his experience. He will be disappointed with himself."

    How about that then? Matt Phillips whips in a cross from the right and Charlie Austin heads into the net. The striker does a "dodgy knee" celebration" - perhaps a note towards when he failed a medical at Hull?

    Referee Anthony Taylor has made a big decision in giving Joey Barton a red card. I'll bet a few are watching the QPR midfielder's Twitter feed with interest. He won't be happy at such a soft dismissal - although looking at it again, why does he throw his arm towards Huddlestone? Daft from Joey.

    It's not fair or sensible to draw any conclusions after 40 minutes of a new manager's reign but I'm going to anyway. Aston Villa have looked much more lively under Tim Sherwood. They may not have won any awards for quality but the ball has moved faster, they've looked stronger in the tackle and are getting the ball to the front three much more often. All in all, a vast improvement I'd say.

    Just the one shot on target at Selhurst Park after 35 minutes and that is Arsenal's opener from the penalty spot. It has to get better.

    Close! Jermain Defoe looks the most likely source of a breakthrough and he is close to an opener, squirreling into space on the left of the area and dragging a shot right across goal. All it needed was a touch...

    Branislav Ivanovic up front? Let's see it.

    "Branislav Ivanovic scored the goal but he has not been very good at all today, every pass he has tried to play has been off target. I said this previously and was laughed at, but I think Ivanovic is well suited to be a striker - he has all the attributes.

    "Burnley are still in this game, and on the touchline, Jose Mourinho has been having a right dig at Diego Costa."

  12. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 15:32 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2015

    Branislav Ivanovic wants a penalty for hands after his shot is blocked in the penalty area - but there's nothing given. Chelsea not in top gear, but they don't need to be so far.

  13. RED CARD FOR QPRpublished at 15:32 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2015

    A straight red card for QPR's Joey Barton. The midfielder is not a stranger to moments of madness but he looks hard done by here. He gives Alex Bruce a little shove as players question a free-kick awarded to Hull and does similar to Tom Huddleston. Not sure either were violent acts but he is on his way. A tough job just got harder for the visitors.

    "Ki did well at Sunderland last season, he was a real key player for them and instrumental in them staying up. It was a great run and a super finish."

    Manchester United's lead didn't last long. Ki Sung-yueng - who scored at Old Trafford - equalises with a finish from Jonjo Shelvey's cross.

    Stoke were really rattled for a few minutes by that Scott Sinclair opener but Victor Moses has just seen a well-struck shot saved. Can Mark Hughes' men come back?

    Good position for Crystal Palace as Dwight Gayle lines up a free-kick 35 yards out from an angle. With the penalty box full, he opts to go for goal and blazes horribly over. Awful.

    He may not start too often but Ander Herrera has an eye for goal, stroking in from the 16 yards after a neat move.

    Opta Joe:, external 2012 - Scott Sinclair has scored his first Premier League goal since August 2012, when he scored for Swansea against QPR. Overdue.
