    Watford 2-2 Bournemouth

    And Watford almost have another! Troy Deeney jumps above Cherries keeper Artur Boruc, beats him to the ball and it trickles over the line. Wait! Referee Mike Dean has blown for a foul. Deeney wags his finger.

    Sunderland 0-1 West Brom

    Great chance! Great defending!

    Sunderland work the ball down the right to Wahbi Khazri, he gets his head up and finds Jermain Defoe in the area, just the man for the job. He gets a shot off, hard and low but Jonny Evans throws himself at it. Wonderful block!

    Anything Eddie Howe can do... Walter Mazzarri's substitution is also a Success as Watford haul them back level. Because it is Isaac Success! The latest challenger for the greatest name in the Premier League bags his first Hornets goal.

    The £12.5m summer signing heads in Junior Holebas's free-kick.

    Diego Costa (67 mins)

    It's another crisp finish but another goal Hull will feel they could have prevented. Nemanja Matic picks the ball up in his own half and drives on, head down. He reaches the edge of the Hull box and shoots, it's blocked and spins to Diego Costa. He's more or less where Willian was when he scored the opener and the finish is identical, leans back, opens his body up and curls into the corner.

    Game over?

  6. 'A goal Messi would be proud of'published at 16:23 British Summer Time 1 October 2016

    West Ham 1-1 Middlesbrough

    What a goal from Dimitri Payet! But first of all open the door to let all the Middlesbrough defenders back in the building! That's a world-class goal. If Lionel Messi scores that it's one of the best goals of the season - one he would be proud of. I have not seen a goal like that since someone like Thierry Henry just takes the game into his own hands. That's the first defensive mistake Middslesbrough have made.

    Brighton will move up to third - they still hold a 1-0 advantage at Sheffield Wednesday.

    Norwich, who started the day in second, play Wolves at 17:30 BST.

    Joshua King

    What an impact! Seconds after coming on to the pitch, substitute Joshua King puts the visitors back in front.

    The former Manchester United youngster picks up the ball about 40 yards out and goes direct. Watford back off, King shoots and the ball flies in off Younes Kaboul's hip.

    There are more goals in this...

    Payet territory...

    The Frenchman is bundled over inside the Boro 'D' by Marten de Roon. Free-kick. Danger...

    Watford 1-1 Bournemouth

    That equaliser was Troy Deeney's 99th Watford goal - and he almost gets the ton. Nordin Amrabat causes more havoc down the right flank, clipping in towards his skipper. Deeney climbs above Simon Francis, heading down into the ground. Artur Boruc drops down quickly to claw away.

    This game could go either way in the final half hour.

    Willian (61 mins)

    Chelsea were just picking up the pace and now they have got the breakthrough, it's a lovely finish too. Diego Costa beats Curtis Davies in a 50-50, before finding Willian on the left corner of the penalty area. 

    Hull have six defenders between Willian and the goal but the Brazilian beats them all by shifting the ball to his right and then curling a shot high into the far corner. Brilliant, but soft for Hull to take.

    Sunderland 0-1 West Brom

    Almost a second for the Albion as first Darren Fletcher's stinging 20-yarder is beaten clear by the flying Jordan Pickford and then Nacer Chadli slides the clearance wide.

  13. League Two updatepublished at 16:16 British Summer Time 1 October 2016

    Plymouth are in a good position to maintain their five-point advantage at the top of League Two. They lead Yeovil 2-1.

    Luton lead struggling Cheltenham through Danny Hylton's effort.

    They will join Doncaster on 20 points - Rovers still lead 2-1 at Portsmouth.

    Carlisle could be up to fourth - they lead Colchester 1-0. Durham-born Jason Kennedy scored the goal in the 51st minute.

  14. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:16 British Summer Time 1 October 2016

    Hull 0-0 Chelsea

    Closest we've come to a goal! N'Golo Kante slides in Diego Costa, who skips around the charging goalkeeper superbly and shoots from a tight angle. His shot hits the post and bounces back out, Kante meets it first - but blazes over the top!

    What a chance!

    Sensational goal! West Ham needed a moment of magic from their star man - and here it is.

    Dimitri Payet channels his inner Maradona/Roberto Baggio/Lionel Messi, weaving his way across the Boro penalty area from left to right before coolly drilling back inside the post.

    Cometh the hour, cometh the man. Boro's lead lasted five minutes.

    Sunderland 0-1 West Brom

    Yet another injury problem for Sunderland. Lanky midfielder Jan Kirchhoff lands awkwardly in midfield and immediately gives the substitution signal to the bench.

    He needs lengthy treatment before coming off on a stretcher, he is replaced by Patrick van Aanholt.

    Still not much to show from Chelsea. Eden Hazard has had an attempt deflected over the top but they have not been great at all.

    Cristhian Stuani

    West Ham always look like conceding these days - and it is another simple goal. Viktor Fischer swings in a corner from the left, Cristhian Stuani rises highest to power in. Hammers skipper Mark Noble hacks off the line but the ball is past the paint.

    Troy Deeney

    They have! Moments after going close, Troy Deeney does haul Watford back into this game. Nordin Amrabat does well down the right flank, allowing the Hornets skipper to turn in the Cherries away area and drill in a low leveller.
