    Bournemouth look two yards quicker than Middlesbrough, who are now in desperate trouble. Boro are too easily dispossessed of the ball, and where the Cherries look sharp and are pressing Boro are off their game. 

    Credit to Bournemouth, because for some clubs who are safe at this stage of the season it's tempting to put the sunglasses on. Bournemouth haven't.

    Well, we said there was little happening at the KCOM, but that's all changed as Oumar Niasse has just been shown a red card.

    The forward dangles a leg towards M'Baye Niang and misses the ball, catching the Watford man on the shin, but that looked a touch harsh.

    Gaston Ramirez is a victim of his own stupidity. The first booking was a dive in the box, clear to see, and then when you're on a yellow you simply cannot dive into challenges like that, especially when you are away from home. You've got to be cleverer than that.

    Sometimes, managing footballers must be a nightmare...

    Hull 0-0 Watford

    Bitty. Cagey. Nervous. And no shots on target.

    Things are yet to spring into life at the KCOM Stadium, despite Hull desperately needing a win with Swansea leading.

    West Ham 0-0 Everton

    What did we say about Tom Davies being dead hard earlier? He's still throwing himself into every challenge. 

    This time, the Everton midfielder clashes with Winston Reid and the West Ham captain needs some treatment. 

    Referee Roger East has a word with Davies, but no card shown. 

  7. RED CARD - Ramirez sent offpublished at 15:21 British Summer Time 22 April 2017

    Bournemouth 2-0 Middlesbrough

    Gaston Ramirez has been sent off inside 20 minutes!

    A yellow card for diving moments ago is followed by a foul on Marc Pugh in the corner.

    Boro 2-0 down and down to 10 men.

  8. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:20 British Summer Time 22 April 2017

    Swansea 1-0 Stoke

    Swansea are forced into an early change. 

    Leroy Fer collided with Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland and he can't continue. Looks like an ankle injury.

    Ki Sung-yeung comes on in his place.

    Afobe doubles Cherries' leadpublished at 15:18 British Summer Time 22 April 2017

    Bournemouth 2-0 Middlesbrough

    Things are getting worse for Middlesbrough, and quickly.

    Adam Clayton dallies on the ball 30 yards from his own goal and that allows Benik Afobe to pounce, running clear of the visitors' backline to slot beyond Brad Guzan.

    West Ham 0-0 Everton

    West Ham goalkeeper Adrian, making his first Premier League start since November, comes rushing to clear the ball from the feet of Kevin Mirallas but makes a right mess of it.

    He eventually does clear the danger but Mirallas has a word with him, as the Hammers keeper had his foot pretty high.

  12. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:15 British Summer Time 22 April 2017

    Bournemouth 1-0 Middlesbrough

    Well, well, well.

    That's a contender for dive of the season, but Gaston Ramirez looks like he's hurt himself in the process.

    The Middlesbrough midfielder went flying in the box after scooping the ball away from Simon Francis, although there was no contact.

    When he finally regains his feet, Ramirez is greeted with a yellow card - and sarcastic cheers from the home fans.

  13. 'Good performance, good goal'published at 15:13 British Summer Time 22 April 2017

    Once again, Gylfi Sigurdsson provides the assist from a dead-ball situation. Fernando Llorente rose on his own, headed it towards the back post where no-one was defending, and Jack Butland had no chance. 

    It's just what Swansea wanted and they are well worth the lead - they have been well up for this and have harassed Stoke for the ball. Good performance, good goal. 

    Llorente may not sprint, but if the ball is played in onto his head he doesn't have to!

    Swansea 1-0 Stoke

    This game is hurting our eyes. Not only is it super bright at the Liberty Stadium, but we've got a horrible kit clash.

    Who thought all white v sky blue/white was acceptable!?

    Hull 0-0 Watford

    It's been a cagey opening few minutes for Hull, and news of a goal for Swansea will have done nothing to settle those nerves.

    Watford are on top, pouring forward at every opportunity but without really troubling the hosts just yet.

    Moments after Swansea have a penalty shout for a handball against Ryan Shawcross, they find the net.

    Fernando Llorente heads home from Gylfi Sigurdsson's corner. Lovely job.

    Middlesbrough's Premier League future may look bleak, but the kit they're sporting at Bournemouth today is anything but.

    Bright yellow for the Boro on the south coast. Resplendent. 

    If only their football was so eye-catching...

    Hull 0-0 Watford

    It was nearly a nightmare start for the Tigers.

    Harry Maguire picked up a pass on the edge of his own box and, without looking, the centre back looked to play it back to goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic.

    Maguire completely misjudged his goalkeeper's position but, luckily for the home fans, the ball trickled wide.

    A collective sigh of relief around the KCOM Stadium.

    West Ham 0-0 Everton

    A crunching tackle from Tom Davies sends Havard Nordtveit flying. Don't be fooled by the blonde boyband locks, the Everton youngster is hard as nails.

    West Ham will have a free-kick once Cheikhou Kouyate has received treatment on a knee injury.
