    I'm not sure who you would lean on to win penalties, it has been that even.We're into the final 10 minutes at Craven Cottage and there's no sign of the deadlock getting broken at the moment...

    Josh Tymon

    Stoke have another and are dumping out the Premier League side.

    Fluke? Or did he mean it? The Potters won't care as Josh Tymon's cross-come-shot sails all the way in over Rob Elliot.

    Fulham 0 -0 Leeds

    Don Hutchison
    Ex-Liverpool midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Leeds aren't dominating the ball like they were.

    They've made a couple of subs and got some younger players on and they've just lost their rhythm.

  15. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 21:26 British Summer Time 21 September 2021

    Man City 4-1 Wycombe

    Raheem Sterling has the ball in the back of the net... but he's offside. The goal is ruled out.

    Fulham 0-0 Leeds

    Fulham haven't fashioned much this half but they've sent on Bobby Decordova Reid and Ivan Cavaleiro to liven up their attack. The former forces Illan Meslier to tip over with a fierce strike.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:25 British Summer Time 21 September 2021

  20. goal

    GOAL - Norwich 0-3 Liverpoolpublished at 21:22 British Summer Time 21 September 2021

    Takumi Minamino

    Done and dusted.

    Norwich can't get the ball away in the corner and when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain pokes the ball to Takumi Minamino he makes no mistake with a low finish through Angus Gunn.

    That is the cue for some of these Norwich fans to head home.
