    Good goal. Theo Walcott is doing what good strikers should do and getting across the front man, across the near post. It's a deft touch as well, a nice finish.

    I said it would not be 0-0 and I'm proved right. I think there will be more goals. Well done to Arsenal for being patient. Game on!

    Arsenal 1-1 Stoke City

    Lee Grant in the Stoke goal will be booked in the second half, without a doubt. He is taking his time over every goal kick and the home fans are not happy.

    Hull 1-0 Crystal Palace

    If life were Football Manager, Harry Maguire would be going in for some finishing training.

    Or, you'd un-tick the box next to his name that says 'shoot whenever possible'.

    The defender, having already slapped a couple of speculative efforts wayward, meets a corner with his head, but the contact is so poor it doesn't even go out of play.

    Arsenal 1-1 Stoke City

    Arsenal looking to get off the chain now, Alexis Sanchez in a shooting position for the first real time and he flashes an effort over from 20 yards.

    Swansea 0-0 Sunderland

    Victor Anichebe falls a tad awkwardly and the Sunderland forward receives some treatment before hobbling back on.

    Swansea, meanwhile, launch a really promising counter attack, only for Wayne Routledge to frustratingly hit a cross against the first defender.

    Hector Bellerin is back from injury and he serves up a lovely assist, whipping in a first-time cross which Theo Walcott meets with a shin and guides home at the near post. Goal number 100 in his club career, and his 50th at the Emirates.

    Arsenal 0-1 Stoke City

    Almost brilliant from Marko Arnautovic! Which would be a good title for his autobiography, I'd suggest. I'll pitch it.

    The Austrian finds space where there is none, slipping between Hector Bellerin and Gabriel with some mesmeric footwork. He can't lift the shot past Petr Cech though, under huge pressure from a sea of red and white shirts.

    Jordi Amat should do better for Swansea. The Spaniard plants a header on to Gylfi Sigurdsson's free-kick but it spins over the bar.

    He's never scored for Swansea in 47 league games...

  10. 'Wasteful Arsenal'published at 15:39 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2016

    Arsenal 0-1 Stoke City

    Terry Butcher

    Arsenal have been in some key positions but the final ball has let them down.

  11. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:39 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2016

    Burnley 2-0 Bournemouth

    Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton is back, and back with a bang as he makes a wonderful save to keep out Adam Smith. The Bournemouth full-back bends in a cracking free-kick from maybe 25 yards and Heaton is at full extension to tip it away.

    Wilfried Zaha has been Crystal Palace's biggest threat and he's having a swing at a shot from the right corner of the area.

    But it ends up in the right corner of the stand behind the goal.

    Arsenal 0-1 Stoke

    Stoke have spent the majority of the match defending their own area but nonetheless lead through Charlie Adam's well-taken spot-kick, scored on his 31st birthday. 

    In the heat-map below, that's the Stoke box at the bottom. Adam's presence on the Arsenal penalty spot at the top is very much against the general theme. 

    Expect the red glow of Stoke's defending to burn ever brighter as they protect this lead.

    The famously fiery Swiss temperament is on display again..

    (Yes, I know he has Albanian roots)

    Arsenal do go close when Hector Bellerin's low cross is stabbed wide via a deflection.

    It looked like a penalty to me initially, because Granit Xhaka goes over the top on Joe Allen.

    Xhaka does something stupid every game he plays in, he's on the edge for no reason.

    Gooner72:  All I have seen from Xhaka is that he is a liability for Arsenal.

    Hey Hull fans, how's life right now?

    You're up to 16th as things stand, above the Premier League champions Leicester.

    Magic.

    Burnley 2-0 Bournemouth

    Burnley are totally in control. They could not look more comfortable if they swapped their claret kits for dressing gowns, slippers and cigars. 

    But the Cherries know how to mount a comeback. Just ask Liverpool.

    Joe Allen's touch was a little heavy, but he nicked the ball before the challenge. It was a very soft penalty to give away. Anywhere else in the pitch it is a foul, so it is a penalty. A little against the run of play. 

    No doubt about the penalty. Charlie Adam went to the right and Petr Cech went to his left.

    Swansea 0-0 Sunderland

    Classic playground stuff from Steven Pienaar - the Sunderland midfielder falls on the ball and makes it clear he's got no interest in getting off.

    So Angel Rangel has a good go at dislodging the ball with his foot.

    Result? Free-kick Sunderland.
