    Newcastle 2-1 Brighton

    Brighton have had 13 attempts - most of them have come in the second half. They've got around 15 minutes to find an equaliser. Lewis Dunk looks their most threatening player right now.

    Villa striker Ollie Watkins is booked for catching Saints keeper Fraser Forster.

    Christian Pulisic can't believe his luck with the simplest of tap-ins. Defenders not sure what they are doing, the defending was so poor. He will never get an easier goal.

    Norwich 0-3 Brentford

    Ivan Toney is the first Brentford player to score a Premier League hat-trick.

    Brentford are the 40th club to have a Premier League hat-trick scorer. That's of 50 teams to play in the division.

    Around 20 minutes left at Molineux. Nothing has clicked for Wolves. Absolutely nothing. Palace are cruising to three points as it stands.

    I tell you what sounds better than a St James' Park roar when Newcastle are on the attack: a St James' Park roar when Allan Saint-Maximin is on the attack.

    It's guttural, full of anticipation and a delight to hear as he steams down the pitch after being out for two weeks.

    The crowd are now calling for Bruno Guimaraes to be introduced.

    Providing the Villa defence stays solid and doesn't make unforced and silly errors, the players we now have going forward are going to ask questions of most teams. Four (so far) against one of the most in-form teams in the league is a statement about what Stevie G is in the process of building.

    How can it be that all 22 players are back in formation with the ball on the centre spot without any suggestion that VAR could be checked. Finally it got chalked off after many, many replays for offside.

    Newcastle 2-1 Brighton

    There is no better sight than Allan Saint-Maximin is full flight charging towards the opposition goal. It's electrifying. Brighton, though, are right back in this and Lewis Dunk has another chance pushed behind for a corner.

    Christian Pulisic (69 mins)

    Christian Pulisic bagged a hat-trick here a couple of seasons ago - his first three Premier League goals - and he has a gift here.

    James Tarkowski deflects a cross to the American, who has an easy finish in the six-yard nox.

    I'm going to surprise you and say yes he has, Erik

    Norwich 0-3 Brentford

    Norwich's goal is ruled out for Teemu Pukki's offside.

    Wolves 0-2 Crystal Palace

    No real sign of Wolves getting back into this. Wilfried Zaha had an effort pushed onto the bar but it wouldn't have counted as the offside flag went up.

    Wolves have sent on Raul Jimenez to try and salvage this.

  16. VAR

    Video Assistant Refereepublished at 16:25 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March 2022

    Norwich 1-3 Brentford

    There's a VAR check. This Norwich goal might get disallowed because Teemu Pukki was offside in the build-up.

    Game on?

    Norwich keep the pressure on from a corner and Teemu Pukki's shot from a tight angle is deflected into the path of Milot Rashica, who places it in the bottom corner from 16 yards.

    If James had stayed fit Chelsea would still be comfortably in the title fight. Played a part in all three goals, what a player.

    I went to push the washing machine on and I come back and see 8 goals have been scored across the games , safe to say I'm staying put now.

    Burnley 0-3 Chelsea

    Maxwel Cornet replaces Jay Rodriguez for Burnley. Can he score four to help them win? You'd imagine not.

    His first action is to put a great ball across the six-yard box which nobody is there to tap in.

    Huge cheers as Allan Saint-Maximin gets ready to come on. Will he help get Newcastle over the line?
