It's lifted over the top for Jamie Vardy and he's got two defenders near him and goalkeeper Jose Sa sprints out to close him down.

He tries an audacious backheel flick with the outside of his boot but he can't get enough on it. That would have been something!

Nick: Crystal Palace's defensive wall was not so much your usual wall...but rather a loose collection of people who happened to be in roughly the same area before Marcos Alonso's free-kick.

Femi John Atoyebi: Alonso...up and running again as one of the high-scoring defenders in the league.

Everton have a free kick just outside the box. Lucas Digne is over it but he doesn't get enough to clear the wall and suddenly the Toffees are in danger as Adam Armstrong chases a ball up the other end of the pitch but he is just beaten to it.

This time Mason Mount's strike hits the wall.

Should have given it to Marcos Alonso.

Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho link-up down the right but they just can't seem to get a real attack going at the moment.

It's not silencing the away fans though, they've been chanting "Bruno Lage's barmy army" for the last five minutes.

Further danger for Palace as Jairo Riedewald brings down Christian Pulisic a yard outside the 'D'.

I called it because the free-kick was in a lovely area for a left-footer, and I know how much of a wand Marcos Alonso has.

There was a huge gap and he didn't really hit it hard, he just caressed it in.

Wow. He made it look easy Alonso.

There was never any doubt with how he started the game. Top spin on the ball and the keeper was completely rooted, he did not move what so ever.

It was a perfect free-kick, made it look easy...fantastic.

Burnley's two strikers link up and almost create a second for the Clarets.

Chris Wood lays the ball off for Jay Rodriguez but his shot is straight at Robert Sanchez.

That really is a great free-kick from Marcos Alonso. There was a split second of silence all around the ground before it nestled into the corner of the net. It had been coming, Palace haven't got out of their half at all.

Ismaila Sarr hits a decent effort from distance towards goal as Watford look for a second. It is on target and has power but too close to Emi Martínez.

Watford are well organised and are having the better chances. It has been a tough opener so far for Aston Villa.

First chance Southampton have had and Michael Keane won't like watching that back at all as the Goodison bubble is burst.

All of a sudden, the tone of the murmurings have changed and fans are shouting "C'mon" as Seamus Coleman gives the ball away.

Let's see what Everton have got in response.

Jamie Vardy is growing into it. Harvey Barnes makes a run past his left shoulder and the defenders back off for a second.

It gives Vardy a chance to shoot but he drags the shot and it rolls into Jose Sa's grateful arms.

Michael Keane's been too relaxed and Che Adams has just nicked it off him.

But take nothing away from Adam Armstrong on his debut, it's an unbelievable finish, top corner.

Ruben Neves blasts one from miles out.

It's miles out from going in too.

Zaha has to be better and hold the ball up for his team. Crystal Palace need any rest they can get at the moment, and when they get the ball they should get their body across, win a foul or do something to keep the ball.

Ruben Neves nicks it off Wilfred Ndidi in the middle but Leicester have it back within seconds.

Jamie Vardy's cut-back is blocked from the left, it's lifted back into the middle and James Maddison can't quite get a clean header at the far post!
