Ayoze Perez rolls his defender and he would be away but Arthur Masuaku rugby tackles him to the floor. In you go.

Norwich 1-0 Tottenham

Mario Vrancic is down receiving treatment after taking a knock.

Tom Trybull is sent for a jog on the touchline.

Someone has text in to suggest we run a 'disallowed goal of the season' competition and I think that's a pretty good shout.

And they're off.

Dele Alli is through. He's racing into the box and is about to shoot before Christoph Zimmermann comes sliding in to make a crucial block.

Excellent defending! He's hurt himself too and is getting treatment on the pitch for a knock to his head. Should be okay.

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho makes the first move. Clearly unhappy with that first half!

Lucas Moura and Davinson Sanchez are on. Juan Foyth and Jan Vertonghen are off.

Pablo Fornals is West Ham United's 151st different goalscorer in the Premier League, more than any other team.

Back underway.

Bomaye: It’s high time we left VAR outta our game.. it’s getting boring how is that even an offside.

Paul: All we can do about VAR these days is laugh. It’s a total joke, and if the Premier League can’t see that they *really* don’t understand football.

The VAR lads have not had a good day. Is there any chance that the Premier League will look at making a change?

We really are into 'forget everything you thought you knew' territory with some of these VAR calls. Teemu Pukki looks onside in every single replay of that disallowed goal.

It's a nonsense really. Chris Wilder said the other week that we are now playing a different game and, as usual, he's right.

Anyone else feeling like Teemu?

I have to say it's the first time in this half that West Ham have looked to be positive! At last. And they have got a goal from it. Pablo Fornals got his head down and there's not a chance for Kasper Schmeichel in the Leicester goal.

Crystal Palace

More from Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson: "Our form in 2019 has been very good. The players, the character and resilience that they show, the consistency. You can rely on them giving their performance time and time again. We brought players in who haven't perhaps had the opportunities they expected but I know I can rely on them when I do need them. The first-half of last season wasn't great but in the spring we did so well and we've continued that into this season. 2019 has been an excellent year for the club but we can't rest on our laurels. Reinforcements are necessary and we've got to hope we can continue to keep our head above water until we can get players back at least."

On transfers: "We talk about it, the chairman and Doug Freedman. A genuine desire and interest to bring players in who can help us out. We had that desire in the summer but we couldn't bring it off but it's still there. But it all depends on finding the right player and the finances and if they want to come to you. It's important to spend the money wisely and bring players who understand what Crystal Palace is about: hard working, disciplined, with a lot of quality actually. We've got to keep that ethos and spirit going or you can bring in players who have a negative effect on the club."

Aston Villa

Aston Villa boss Dean Smith to BBC Sport: "I read the players the riot act at half-time. We weren’t good enough. We lost the game in the first half. We created the best chance before the break, Wesley should probably score. Their workrate was better than ours, which is the biggest disappointment. In the second half, we started to get on the front foot but didn’t create chances. When the other team go down to 10 men and the score is 1-0, you’ve got a chance but unfortunately other incidents happened and they scored a second and third.

"Matt Targett goes down with a hamstring injury. I understand officials can only stop play because of a head injury. Jack Grealish doesn’t know Targett has done his hamstring. We lose the ball and Watford play on. I still don’t think it should be a penalty. It was shoulder to shoulder and Deeney goes down easily.

“There’s a screen the fella [referee] can walk over to, look at the incident and say ‘I made a boo boo’. But we don’t do that in the Premier League. We go to Stockley Park where they haven’t got a feel for the game. They just make a decision looking at one incident.

"I’d like to think my players would have [kicked the ball out]. But it doesn’t excuse my players stopping. Targett is playing Deeney onside, sitting on the floor.

"For the third goal, Jack Grealish gets fouled in front of us. The fourth official says their player got the ball but he doesn’t. It goes to Stockley Park – again no feel for the game. The referee could look at the screen but doesn’t. I’m frustrated with that but more frustrated with the players."

Looks like Paul Pogba could miss out tonight for Manchester United.

Who wants some more VAR chat at half time? Because there's loads to come...

Seb Haller hits a shot into the side netting and that's the half...

Ollie Davies: It doesn't even look offside with the VAR. Bizarre decision.

Owain Evans: Fans of Norwich City - thank you for summing it up perfectly after that disallowed goal - 'It's not football anymore' .. Completely agree that VAR has killed the premier league! You cant score with your arm so should not be offside.

JonCook5: The year is 2046, someone's toenail is offside and people are happy the goal is ruled out. Attendance of said match: 1.

A frustrating half for Norwich, who should be 2-0 up. Spurs have been poor but they can only get better in the second half, surely?
