Adam Webster appears to be down injured for Brighton. He looks in real discomfort. It would be a blow for the hosts if he has to go off.

Alexandre Lacazette tries to beat Rui Patricio with a low curling shot from 15 yards but the Wolves keeper gets down to keep it out.

Decent chance for the Gunners.

Spell of West Ham possession as they try and get back into this. A goal before the break and they will believe they can rescue something but they have not managed a shot on target yet.

Bob Moss: Saints and Villa winning, Newcastle, 2 up, it really is end of days.

City are throwing everything at this and their fans are giving everything too.

Southampton have got everyone back, and are getting their bodies in the way of the ball. Whether it be a shot or a cross, they are blocking it.

Aston Villa 0-1 Liverpol

Roberto Firmino has the ball in the back of the Villa net. It's not given as the flag goes up for offside but VAR gets involved.

It won't count and play goes on.

Kevin de Bruyne's shot is blocked as Manchester City come knocking again. The hosts are playing like they are trailing with one minute left on the clock. They really do not like being behind.

Sheff Utd 1-0 Burnley

VAR check for a Burnley penalty.

Did Enda Stevens handle Ben Mee's header?

Play on..

No goals yet at the Amex but Brighton are getting closer as Steven Alzate's deflected shot whistles just past the post.

Manchester City are upping the ante now as they look to get back on level terms, Raheem Sterling driving them forward but, so far, the Southampton defence is holding firm.

The noise in Villa Park is deafening, first for the strike from Trezeguet that wormed its way under Alisson and then for the VAR check, the duration of which was accompanied by some pretty damning chants about the technology.

The final roar was the loudest, though. The goal stands, the home fans are delirious and the league leaders trail.

That's the second ball Villa put into the box like that.

It is a great ball by John McGinn and the goalkpeer can’t come for it.

Is there a touch of offside? It’s hard to say but it looks like it is a goal.

Should be 3-0!

Allan Saint-Maximin is suddenly through on goal but he hits his shot straight at the keeper.

West Ham are all over the place.

Southampton have a free kick on halfway. The expected flurry of Manchester City chances are yet to materialise. A good away performance at the moment.

Good save by Tim Krul denies Brighton as the Norwich defence gives away possession and then backs off Steven Alzate, who takes up the invitation to shoot but sees his low effort kept out by the boot of the Norwich keeper.

After a brief respite the downour has returned to Brighton but it has still been a lively start. Norwich City so close there but Brighton also in positive mood.

The Saints fans in the corner of the South Stand are still bouncing around in celebration - no need for ironic chants about touching the ball today, they are proudly bellowing out 'Oh when the Saints go marching in'.

The home fans greeted that goal with stunned silence but they are urging their team forward now, in search of a quick reply.
