    Leicester 1-0 Wolves

    A much better start from Wolves in the second half.

    It's switched from left to right via Adama Traore. Ki-Jana Hoever's cross is headed on at the front post and finds Traore.

    His shot is blocked and Joao Moutinho picks up the rebound before firing it over the bar.

    Half the folk in the posh seats weren't even back in place when that Richarlison goal went in!

    Whatever Rafael Benitez said at half-time, it worked!

    Now Marcos Alonso has a free-kick towards the right but this one he curls over the bar.

    Ray: Two out of the three promoted teams winning/ won. Good for the league.

    Chelsea 2-0 Crystal Palace

    Oh this would have been a stunning goal.

    Jorginho drifts a ball out towards the left and Marcos Alonso is onto it in a flash, smashing a first-time volley which is arrowing towards the corner but Vicente Guaita gets down to make a superb save.

    Think Shaun Bartlett for Charlton all those years ago.

    Richarlison (47 mins)

    What a start to the second half by Everton!

    They needed a response and they've provided it as Richarlison levels things up, firing in from close range from Andros Townsend's headed assist.

    Game on!

    Teflon Don: Patrick Vieira's half-time talk is simple, just remind the players that they are actually allowed to get into the Chelsea's half...simple!!!

    Watford 2-0 Aston Villa

    Aston Villa make a change at the start of the second half as Jacob Ramsey comes on for Matt Targett. The visitors certainly needed to do something, they were just not at it in the first half. Ashley Young moves to left back.

    It's *all* Chelsea. Just have a look at that touch map from the first half. Crystal Palace (right) have barely had an attack.

    Watford 2-0 Aston Villa

    A nice moment at Watford to add to the feelgood factor there today as a number of NHS staff are doing a lap of honour around the pitch to really nice applause from all fans.

    Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Chelsea have been very impressive on the pitch today. When you look at it, there's no Romelu Lukaku and N'Golo Kante - possibly their best player.

    You look at the bench and Ben Chilwell, Kai Havertz and Thiago Silva aren't playing.

    It's an incredible squad.

    Leicester 1-0 Wolves

    It was a busy half from Jamie Vardy. He was getting in behind the Wolves' defence and causing problems.

    Here's where he picked up the ball - with the dot on the far right of the box where he nodded in the opener.

    Ashley Williams
    Former Wales captain on Final Score

    As a striker, you're told to go to the front post, always get across the first defender and that's exactly what Jamie Vardy did.

    In the end, I don't even know how he finished it because he was about three yards ahead of the front post but he got a toe onto it and it's gone up into the top corner. It's an unbelievable finish and textbook striker play.

    It's been a very difficult first game for Crystal Palace who have really tried do their best but the way Chelsea are chasing the ball down is fantastic.

    Every time a yellow shirt gets the ball, it's just a rush of blue around them trying to win it back. The pressure is relentless.

    There's a lot for Patrick Vieira to do at half time. Palace are struggling to have any impact on the match at all.
