    Newcastle 2-1 Brighton

    Alistair Magowan
    BBC Sport at St James' Park

    The home crowd are starting to get frustrated with Newcastle's sloppy passing and berate Joe Willock for giving the ball away.

    This game looked comfortable but Newcastle need an injection of something. Time for Allan Saint-Maximin.

    Graham Green: Looks like Southampton might be about to have their annual 9-0 drubbing today.

    Burnley 0-3 Chelsea

    Reece James is down injured holding his foot - on the side of the pitch. It looked a fairly nothing tackle from Wout Weghorst.

    James comes back on after no treatment. The medical staff came all the way across the pitch but he was gone by the time they got there.

    Newcastle 2-1 Brighton

    Lewis Dunk's first goal since last May has changed the atmosphere. Groans around St James' Park as Joe Willock gives away possession cheaply.

    Burnley 0-3 Chelsea

    Michael Brown
    Former Manchester City midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It was an unusual finish. It was behind Kai Havertz. He used the back end of his left foot to guide it over the line. As he falls over it trickles past Nick Pope.

    Aston Villa 4-0 Southampton

    Philippe Coutinho has scored five Premier League goals against Southampton, more than against any other opponents.

    Stick my neck out now and say Burnley, Watford and Norwich are going down. Yes Leeds and Everton are in trouble, but those below them can't win.

    Wolves 0-2 Crystal Palace

    Eventful few minutes for Conor Gallagher who has gone close to making it 3-0 and been booked for a foul. Crystal Palace remain in control.

    No more goals for a few minutes please, I can't take any more.

  11. 'Sweet volley'published at 16:16 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March 2022

    Pat Murphy
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It was a sweet volley from Danny Ings. Villa are playing superbly in front of the Holte End and the supporters are loving it.

  12. 'Pope was static, he didn't move'published at 16:16 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March 2022

    Burnley 0-2 Chelsea

    Michael Brown
    Former Manchester City midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Since that first goal Chelsea have completely dominated possession. It has hurt these Burnley players. I think Nick Pope thinks the header is going to go wide. He was static and didn't move. It's going to be tough now for Burnley from here.

    Norwich 0-2 Brentford

    Another penalty to Brentford!

    Ivan Toney races through on goal and is brought down. VAR is having a look at Anthony Taylor's decision... and the spot-kick is confirmed.

    Kai Havertz bundles in a second!

    N'Golo Kante finds Reece James, who hammers the ball across the six-yard box. Havertz tries to kick it into an empty net but the ball hits his other leg and goes in. Job done.

    Lewis Dunk (55 mins)

    Woeful marking and Brighton are back in this.

    They win a corner which is floated into the mix but no-one picks up Lewis Dunk who is able to head beyond Martin Dubravka with ease.

    Game on!

    Jay Baker: Would have been nice for Christian Eriksen to take the penalty.

    Richard H: The criticism of Chelsea's attack the last couple of months has been very harsh. During the early season, Chilly and RJ were vital to the attack. Chelsea have been without both. If Liverpool miss just one of TAA or Andy Robertson its mentioned constantly.
