  1. 'What is Mane doing?'published at 16:44 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2017

    Sunderland 2-2 Liverpool

    John Hartson
    Ex-Wales striker on Final Score

    It is a Larsson free kick for Sunderland and Mane in the Liverpool wall has put his arm up high - for me it is a clear penalty.

    What a penalty from Jermain Defoe, but you are thinking 'what is Mane doing?'.

    Man City 2-1 Burnley

    Sean Dyche is an animated figure on the touchline. He's screaming at his players to give it everything they have got for the final four minutes. The home crowd have gone a little quiet, a nervy atmosphere now at the Etihad.

    Sunderland 1-2 Liverpool

    Astonishing. Sadio Mane thought he had won it for Liverpool but he concedes a penalty after sticking out an arm defending Sebastian Larsson's free-kick.

    A chance for Everton to put this one to bed as Enner Valencia is fouled inside the area by Maya Yoshida. Leighton Baines is on it...

  7. 'Lukaku is unplayable'published at 16:40 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2017

    Everton 1-0 Southampton

    John Hartson
    Ex-Wales striker on Final Score

    Romelu Lukaku is unplayable when you get the right ball into him. He does the right thing and heads it down and it comes off the goalkeeper for his team-mate to score. 

    He’s so powerful.

  8. CLOSE!published at 16:40 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2017

    West Brom 3-1 Hull

    Hull have not given up. Michael Dawson has a header chested off the line by Matt Phillips. There's still time for the visitors to salvage something but they have to get a move on.

  9. Ten minutes to gopublished at 16:38 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2017

    Man City 2-1 Burnley

    I fancy another goal in this one. 

    Manchester City have gone into their shell a little bit after Burnley pulled one back but they have the chance to get a third with a Kevin de Bruyne free-kick. He swings it in low but Burnley clear for a corner. Manchester City fans roar their players on. It could be a tense final 10 minutes.

    Sam Pougher: That was seriously bad defending by Hull. Maguire must be hanging his head in shame for that. Easy for Morrison to bang it in.   

    Noel Fitzpatrick: Cometh the hour, cometh the Mane.

    Charleschip: LFC have a good spread of goals from different players so the loss of Mane for a month shouldn't hurt them too badly.

    This is not a sight Liverpool fans want to see. Daniel Sturridge is limping off. Another injury for the Reds forward?

  12. Brighton top - as it standspublished at 16:36 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2017

    Well, well, well.

    Are Brighton going top of the Championship? Two goals in two minutes has transformed a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead against Fulham - Tomer Hemed and Lewis Dunk leading the turnaround.

    Just as the Seagulls were flying into first, the leaders at the start of the day Newcastle go 1-0 down at Blackburn through a Charlie Mulgrew strike.

    Hands up who predicted at the start of the season that West Brom would be eighth in the table on 2 January?

    Sunderland 1-2 Liverpool

    Danny Mills
    Ex-England defender on Final Score

    Sadio Mane is onside for Liverpool because the flick-on comes from the Sunderland defender. He's in an offside position, but that's why the goal has been given.

    It's that man Sadio Mane again! Liverpool looked like they were running out of ideas when a corner flicks off Didier N'Dong's head into the path of Mane to slot home inside the six yard area.

    The Reds aren't going to throw this away now are they?

    Ben Mee (70 mins)

    Hang on, this one isn't over yet.

    An almighty scramble in the goalmouth following a corner, Claudio Bravo misses his punch, Ben Mee smashes an effort over the underside of the bar and the ball appears to bounce over the line, before Andre Gray heads out of Bravo's hands to make sure. Think Mee will be awarded it, but not 100% certain yet!

  20. Get involvedpublished at 16:26 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2017

    #bbcfootball

    Nick Clohessy: Burnley deserve this. Against 10 men they showed no willingness to push forward. If they stretched Man City they could have won.

    Ryan Lloyd: So what's happened to Firmino? My goodness does he miss Coutinho...   

    Callum Mackenzie: My fantasy team is getting three points for Sterling's slapstick assist. Comedy gold.
