  1. INJURY TIMEpublished at 15:49 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2019

    Norwich 1-2 Sheffield United

    Plenty of time for some more drama. There are SIX minutes of injury time....

  2. Postpublished at 15:49 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2019

    Newcastle 2-1 Southampton

    The 90 minutes are up and Newcastle are on the verge of another three points. Seconds left.

    There was doom and gloom around Steve Bruce's appointment but surely he has won over the fans now?

    VAR at Carrow Road - all 4 sides of the ground are singing “Is this football any more?” A fair point very well made!

    Aston Villa 1-4 Leicester

    Another Jack Grealish goal won't really matter to either Aston Villa or Leicester at this stage. I'll take it for my fantasy football team though. Unfortunately for me, and probably plenty of you, he can't beat Kasper Schmeichel.

    Norwich 1-2 Sheffield United

    Blades keeper Dean Henderson plucks a free-kick out of the Norfolk sky and goes down clutching his head. With those *suspected* acting skills he could get a part in Hollyoaks.

    Tick tock. Waste some vital seconds.

    GOAL - Newcastle 2-1 Southamptonpublished at 15:45 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2019

    Federico Fernández (87 mins)

    Drama!

    With three minutes to go Newcastle appear to have snatched this as Federico Fernández taps in from close range after Sean Longstaff's long-ranger is fumbled by Alex McCarthy.

    St James' is bouncing!

  7. 'Leicester's football more attractive than in 2016'published at 15:45 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2019

    Aston Villa 1-4 Leicester

    Clinton Morrison
    Former Crystal Palace striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Leicester are proper title contenders.

    This team plays more attractive football than the one that won the title in 2016.

  8. Postpublished at 15:44 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2019

    Aston Villa 1-4 Leicester

    Into the final 10... Villa still plugging away. Anwar El Ghazi fires wide.

    Plenty of the home fans have called it a day. Can probably just get to Homebase before it shuts.

  9. Postpublished at 15:43 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2019

    Aston Villa 1-4 Leicester

    Peter Schmeichel finds something funny as he watches from the stands. Former Villa boss Brian Little isn't in the mood to laugh.

    Message to Villa fans: you are where you are in the table because you were promoted last season. To call for Smith to be sacked beggars belief!

    Dan, Devon

    Smith has had plenty of time. He has not moved on from the start of this season. He cannot change a game. Not good enough. Villa fans won't be so patient when they are relegated../

    Norwich 1-2 Sheffield United

    If Sheffield United win this then David McGoldrick might owe Dean Henderson a pint/flat white/super smoothie.

    The Blades keeper denies Norwich sub Todd Cantwell an equaliser, using his left hand like a metal shovel to block.

    Anthony: Vardy in this form is simply world class.

    Ben: Add Vardy to the England line-up and they are genuine contenders for the Euro.

    Sho: Vardy is sooooo good. Unbelievable finisher. Best finisher in the league in my opinion.

    Norwich 1-2 Sheffield United

    Coulda, shoulda, woulda been game over if David McGoldrick had brought his shooting boots.

    Moments after missing a chance, the Blades forward fails to take an even better opportunity to bring the credits down on Norwich.

    With space in the Canaries box, he slashes a shot into the side-netting.

  14. Postpublished at 15:37 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2019

    Southampton 1-1 Newcastle

    Shane Long just fails to reach Danny Ings' flick on as Southampton continue to press.

    The visitors are looking the most likely to snatch a winner at the moment.

  15. 'Vardy is too good'published at 15:37 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2019

    Aston Villa 1-4 Leicester

    Clinton Morrison
    Former Crystal Palace striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    He’s too good, he’s ridiculous. He gets quicker and quicker at 33 years of age.

    If you play a high line like Villa is doing and on the counter-attack there’s no better person than Jamie Vardy. This is game, set, match.

  16. goal

    GOAL - Aston Villa 1-4 Leicesterpublished at 15:35 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2019

    Jamie Vardy

    How do you stop him? How?!

    It's an old trick but still they can't stop it. Jamie Vardy being put clean through with a quick ball forward bamboozles Villa again, the ex-England striker holding off Matt Targett before drilling low into the bottom corner.

  17. RED CARD OVERTURNEDpublished at 15:34 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2019

    Norwich 1-2 Sheffield United

    Chris Basham survives. The video ref reckons it is only a yellow.

    "It's not football anymore," is the latest chant sang by the four sides of Carrow Road.

    Newcastle 1-1 Southampton

    Incredible miss!

    Ryan Bertrand effectively heads Shane Long's goalbound header off the line with a bizarre attempt to head in. The ball just cannoned off his head, two yards out from an open goal. Madness.

  19. RED CARD - Chris Bashampublished at 15:31 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2019

    Norwich 1-2 Sheffield United

    Blades down to 10! Or are they? Chris Basham waits on the side of the pitch before disappearing down the tunnel.

    The defender cleans out Kenny McLean with a badly-timed, if not premeditated, tackle.

    Basham wags his finger, ref Simon Hooper wafts a red. Over to the VAR...

    People calling for Smith to be sacked. Ridiculous. Managers who overachieve and get teams promoted should be given time to build.

    Stuart, Stoke

    Villa are a shambles. At times you would think that they hadn't played together before.
