    Everton 0-2 Brighton

    A rare sloppy pass by Brighton is pounced on by Seamus Coleman, who charges up the pitch and passes to Anthony Gordon, but he is flagged offside.

  2. YELLOW CARDpublished at 14:31 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    Brentford 0-1 Aston Villa

    Now Frank Onyeka is into referee Craig Pawson's book for a nibble on Emiliano Buendia.

    Bit of a harsh yellow that, Onyeka is in shock.

    Robert Sanchez punches the ball away with Anthony Gordon lurking as Everton look to try and make amends for that penalty disappointment.

    Aaron Lennon with his pace going on the shoulder, he's played well so far - once Lennon gets you one v one, he's still got it. Finally some intent from Burnley here.

    Leeds 0-0 Burnley

    Leeds have Burnley right where they want them as they counter with four versus three. The ball is worked to Tyler Roberts but Burnley sort their defence out well and he has no options inside the box.

  6. YELLOW CARDpublished at 14:29 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    Brentford 0-1 Aston Villa

    Jacob Ramsey is the first player into the book for a trip on Frank Onyeka.

    This does go down as an effort on target but Mathias Jensen won't want it to, collecting a ball at the back post and firing way over.

    Villa skipper-for-the-day John McGinn has had a couple of sighters now.

    The Scotland international takes aim with another effort from range which sails over the bar.

    Brentford 0-1 Aston Villa

    Does this count as an attempt on target?

    Mads Bech Sorensen launches in a long throw ala Rory Delap - same red and white striped kits too - which is met at the near post by a stumbling Pontus Jansson and the ball his heads and go bounces wide.

    Leeds 0-0 Burnley

    Aaron Lennon bursts away down the right and does well to get to the ball first. He crosses but there's no Burnley player inside the box.

    Mathias Jensen's corner kick is poor, flat and cleared by a Villa head.

    Brentford have a helping hand from Kortney Hause for their first corner of the game as the Villa defender sends a very heavy backpass over his own goal!

  14. MISSED PENALTYpublished at 14:25 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    Everton 0-2 Brighton

    Missed!

    Dominic Calvert-Lewin blasts it over! In fairness he has been out for a long time so is understandably rusty, but what a chance missed by Everton to get back into this.

    John Brooks checks the pitchside monitor and awards the spot kick.

    Up steps Dominic Calvert-Lewin...

    Brentford 0-1 Aston Villa

    Brentford are clocking up more zeros than Jack Grealish's price tag.

    Zero goals, zero shots, zero offsides, zero corners.

    Everton may have the chance to get a goal back as VAR is checking for a potential penalty after Anthony Gordon is fouled...

  18. CLOSE!published at 14:23 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    Leeds 0-0 Burnley

    Leeds are improving and almost take the lead through an inventive effort from Júnior Firpo, whose near post flick is pushed behind by Wayne Hennessey.

    Jacob Ramsey, lovely little player.

    Knocking on the England door? A surprise pick for next year's - I mean - this year's World Cup?

    GOAL - Everton 0-2 Brightonpublished at 14:21 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    Dan Burn (21 mins)

    Disaster for Everton!

    One word for the Toffees' defending - atrocious.

    A corner is flicked on and Dan Burn is completely unmarked at the back post to head in with ease.

    The Seagulls are soaring.
