    Aston Villa 0-0 Newcastle

    Oooh. That's a bit naughty from Jacob Murphy, he was going down from the moment he got the ball and Ashley Young is nowhere near the Newcastle man as he hits the deck inside the box.

    It causes a bit of a kerfuffle among players from both sides but comes to nothing.

    David Melton: Alas it looks like a long afternoon for Norwich and probably a very long season for them too

    At what point do you give up doing something when it isn't working?

    Jeff Bezos would be able to see from up in space that Norwich's ploy to play out from the back is being picked off today, why carry on doing it?!

    Leeds 0-0 Everton

    We're not used to seeing Allan bomb down the left wing for Everton, and all of a sudden the tough-tackling midfielder seems to realise where he is and cuts back inside looking for support.

    It's slow to come. The Toffees yet to have a shot on target in the opening 25 minutes.

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Brentford

    A good spell of pressure from the visitors ends up with Bryan Mbeumo dragging wide from a promising position.

    Well the story is Jack Grealish gets his goal, that will help his confidence - like he needs it?! It's the same problem with Norwich, the full-back is too far in and Gabriel Jesus puts the ball in and Grealish is in exactly the right place. It could already be three or four nil by now - what a moment for Grealish. That's the first of what you suspect will be many goals.

    GOAL - Man City 2-0 Norwichpublished at 15:22 British Summer Time 21 August 2021

    Jack Grealish (20 mins)

    The £100m man is off and running.

    The goal won't win any beauty contests but Jack Grealish won't care one bit.

    It come courtesy of Gabriel Jesus, who has been a great outlet down the right, fizzing in a cross which drifts pass a number of players and hits Grealish at the far post before bobbling in.

    A case now of how many City will score this afternoon?

    Aston Villa 0-0 Newcastle

    Newcastle want a penalty as Callum Wilson goes down in the box, but the verdict goes the other way - Ashley Young using all that experience and defensive nous picked up in Serie A to win the free-kick himself under pressure. Villa then spring Danny Ings down the other end, but he's just offside.

    I'm not sure if it was a foul or not? Especially not after some of the VAR decisions this week.

    Leeds 0-0 Everton

    Almost an Everton opener at the other end!

    Demarai Gray does brilliantly down the right wing, before firing a ball across goal that Dominic Calvert-Lewin can't quite get a toe on - shades of Gazza against Germany in Euro 96 there.

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Brentford

    It was quite the welcome by the Crystal Palace fans as the players came onto the pitch at Selhurst Park - and they have not stopped singing since.

    Milos Rachica has thrown himself at the ground, I think he lost his balance and threw himself to the ground.

    It has been overturned though and that wasn't very clear from the referee.

  14. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 15:18 British Summer Time 21 August 2021

    Man City 1-0 Norwich

    Referee Graham Scott is advised to come to the side of the pitch to have a look at the incident on the monitor.

    He doesn't need to see the replay twice, judging Bernardo Silva to have tripped Milos Rachica.

    Was there enough in that to disallow the goal? Did Rachica trip himself...?

    Leeds 0-0 Everton

    Everton make a mess of clearing the ball and Luke Ayling's eyes light up, sensing another screamer after his effort at Old Trafford last week, but the Leeds defender can only thump into a sea of blue bodies on the edge of the area. You get one of those a season as a defender, if you're lucky...

    The noise here is deafening at times. Every home tackle cheered to the rafters, every hint of a Leeds attack coming complete with a huge roar. The home side started brightly, with Patrick Bamford seeing a shot blocked and Raphinha an effort saved.

    Everton look rattled, but are doing what they can to quell the tide and break up any rhythm in the game. At the other end, Richarlison is always a threat.

    GOAL - Man City 2-0 Norwichpublished at 15:15 British Summer Time 21 August 2021

    Ferran Torres (14 mins)

    Could be a drubbing this.

    Norwich are apoplectic as the players stop thinking a foul will be given for Milos Rachica, who trips over.

    City play on with Raheem Sterling playing it through to Ferran Torres to smack in a finish from close range.

    But wait, it's being checked...

    Man City 1-0 Norwich

    Norwich see the opposition half for the first time in the game, right-back Max Aarons lofts in a deep cross but Kyle Walker has ice running through his veins, chesting the ball back to goalkeeper Ederson.

    He does that better than anyone in the business.

    Aston Villa 0-0 Newcastle

    Lovely clip from John McGinn out to Ashley Young, but Anwar El Ghazi is offside from the full-back's pass and the attack fizzles out - El Ghazi is playing off the left, tasked with providing some of the creativity the £100m man took with him to Manchester City.
