    A few boos at half-time as the Everton players head off in the mizzle.

    After a promising start, the Rafa revolution needs some work.

    Lovenish Goel: Must applaud Richarlison. Had an extremely busy summer with first Copa and then Olympics. Despite that now playing the season opener.

    Leicester 1-0 Wolves

    Harvey Barnes lays it off to Jamie Vardy. He slips it back into the path of Barnes, who is charging into the box, but the Leicester winger can't get it out of his feet.

    Youri Tielemans then cracks one from long range and it's tipped behind for a corner.

    Chelsea 2-0 Crystal Palace

    Chelsea are all over Palace, the visitors need to get their act together.

    Goalscorer Marcos Alonso is in acres of room down the left and he finds Timo Werner eight yards out but the German's first time shot is into the side-netting.

    Jon Evans: Watford dominance is basically Sarr. This is awful from Villa.

    Ben: Villa having a rough day out there.

    Everton 0-1 Southampton

    Adam Armstrong is a real livewire on his Southampton debut, causing Everton all sorts of problems and only a good save by Jordan Pickford denies him a second before half time.

    Khan Karn: Chelsea have been OK, it’s just Crystal Palace have been horrendous, lazy, no energy. At least under Roy Hodgson they were solid. Hopefully Vieira can turn this game round though.

    Ismaila Sarr (42 mins)

    A second for Watford!

    The hosts get a big slice of fortune but they will take it as Ismaila Sarr's shot loops off Tyrone Mings' outstretched leg and beyond Emi Martinez.

    The stuff of dreams for the returning home fans but a nightmare for Aston Villa.

    Everton are giving the ball away time after time and the Goodison crowd are getting very twitchy. Meanwhile, Adam Armstrong has the look of a forward who can taste another goal coming.

    Crucial period now before half-time.

    Jamie Vardy

    The goals are starting to roll in.

    Jamie Vardy is off the mark for the season and it's a beauty of a header.

    Ricardo Pereira chips it past two defenders on the right, lifts it into the middle, Vardy runs to the front post and flicks it into the far corner.

    Wonderful goal.

    Christian Pulisic

    All over?

    Palace have been awful in Patrick Vieira's first game in charge and Chelsea may well have the points wrapped up before half time.

    Cesar Azpilicueta plays a danger cross low into the box, Vicente Guaita stretches but cannot gather allowing Christian Pulisic to gobble up the spillage via the crossbar.

    Brendan Rodgers and Bruno Lage are both scribbling furiously in their notebooks and directing instructions at players as James Maddison gets some treatment. He looks fine to carry on.

    The average position graphic tells its own story. Chelsea are doing all the attacking and Palace are barely crossing halfway.

    It should be 1-0 to Wolves. What a chance!

    Daniel Amartey gives it away to Joao Moutinho, he slips in Adama Traore and he's one-on-one with the keeper.

    Kasper Schmeichel holds his ground and Traore slots it wide of the right post. Wow.

    Matt Upson
    Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Chelsea have been so dominant, Crystal Palace can not get hold of the ball. Defensively they're just having to hang on in there. Their back four, back six almost at times, are just trying to drop in and do the job.

    The atmosphere, there is a real buzz. This team has something special going on.

  20. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:36 British Summer Time 14 August 2021

    Burnley 1-0 Brighton

    The first goal came via a corner with James Tarkowski heading in at the far post.

    This time central defensive partner Ben Mee almost does exactly the same, but thumps his header against the underside of the crossbar.

    Burnley have had chances to put this game to bed.
