    An hour gone. That first goal looking ever more crucial.

    Brighton 0-0 Arsenal

    I mean, that is just a waste of territory.

    Arsenal are on the front foot, but Thomas Partey has delusions of grandeur by firing a shot from way, way out that was always rising and misses by miles.

    Brighton 0-0 Arsenal

    Jakub Moder is growing into this game as a potential attacking threat. He collects the ball on the edge of the box and slices an effort just wide.

    What. A. Tackle.

    The flag is up so it wouldn't have counted, but Shane Duffy still pulls out a stunning sliding stop to deny Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from slotting in after the Arsenakl striker had rounded the keeper.

    What it does raise is the spectre of potential unnecessary injuries. If Duffy had mistimed that and hurt Aubameyang then it would have kicked off. He was clearly offside and the assistant knew it.

    Brighton 0-0 Arsenal

    When Emile Smith Rowe and/or Bukayo Saka are on the ball, Arsenal look a threat. They've not been on the ball enough, though. The former starts a move that ends with Albert Sambi Lokonga firing a shot over from range. Hopeful.

    Martin Odegaard is having a rough time of it. He is tackled way too easily as Arsenal look to build an attack and fail.

    Brighton back into their groove.

    They patiently pick holes in the Arsenal defence before setting up a shot for Jakub Moder that he curls wide of the target from outside the box.

    Jakub Moder is down and holding his ankle. Looks like Thomas Partey caught him. The Brighton bench are furious. Arms getting waved all over the shop.

    Ready for 45 more minutes? There are some poor fans here - especially the old lad whose umbrella has broken - who just want to be at home with a mug of hot chocolate.

    FT: Wolves 2-1 Newcastle

    Newcastle United

    Newcastle boss Steve Bruce speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "It is a reflection of the story so far. We have got back into the game. We had a big chance in the second half and didn't take it.

    "Unfortunately at this level you don't get many opportunities like that. I don't remember my goalkeeper making a save, yet he is picking the ball out of the back of the net twice after a finish that is required at this level."

    On the pressure mounting after not winning in seven: "Whoever you are, whether you are the manager of Newcastle or not if you haven't won in seven games then ultimately we all know the drill, we all know what comes.

    "The quicker we get a result the better, but that is the story so far. It could have been our day, but it wasn't.

    "It's not easy, but the experience I have had helps you. It still disappoints you and upsets you.

    "The first thing I look at was could we have been better? Could I have done anything better during the week? I look at myself straight away and think can I do better?"

    The Brighton subs are currently out on the pitch doing some warm-up exercises. They're heart really does not look in it.

    The Arsenal replacements are still inside, feet up around the fire.

  13. 'We should be winning'published at 18:24 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    FT: Man Utd 1-1 Everton

    Manchester United

    Bruno Fernandes to BBC Radio 5 Live: "We should be winning this game, we should have created more chances.

    "We shouldn't have conceded the goal we did but it is not the first time. We will have to look our mistakes and see what we can do better from here.

    "If you keep the ball for long and don't score then the result is not on your side. With or without the ball it is about winning."

  14. 'I think we are doing well'published at 18:23 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    FT: Man Utd 1-1 Everton

    Everton

    Rafa Benitez to BBC Radio 5 Live: "Everybody was doing what we had to do, we worked hard against a good team and tried to create chances and we did it.

    "It is a pity the last one because it was offside, it could have been even better but we are pleased with the performance and the result.

    "From the bench I thought maybe [Tom Davies could have shot] but when I saw the replay it was a pity, it was just offisde.

    "Overall I think we are doing well, we have some problems with injury but the team is still working really hard, reacting really well and getting results."

  15. 'I am pleased with this first step'published at 18:21 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    FT: Burnley 0-0 Noriwch

    Norwich City

    Norwich boss Daniel Farke to BBC Radio 5 Live: "It is never good when you lose six games in a row, especially for such a young side.

    "Several of our key players arrived quite late into the season. In terms of self-confidence it was not an easy game today.

    "To stand up to the test and produce such a spirited performance, says a lot about our character and resilience.

    "It is the first step, it is not more than that and it doesn't guarantee we will stay in the league but I am pleased with this."

  17. HALF-TIMEpublished at 18:17 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    Brighton 0-0 Arsenal

    No goals. Brighton the better side. Arsenal have chased shadows with the occasional flash of attacking inspiration.

    It's still very much there to be won.

    Brighton 0-0 Arsenal

    Bukayo Saka floatrs a cross into the box that is meant for Kieran Tierney but he belts it and the ball goes out of play.

    Better, though, from the Gunners. They've produced something to build upon in the second half in the last five minutes.

    Arsenal are ending the half well. Emile Smith Rowe floats a cross into the middle that evades a sliding block from a defender and skips teasingly in front of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

    A rare Gunners attack. And it almost brings the opener.

    Bukayo Saka's pull back is met by Thomas Partey but his low shot flashes wide.
