    Liverpool 0-0 Newcastle

    Alexander Isak has the first chance to show what he can do as he charges forward down the left. He cuts inside before lashing a shot well over.

  2. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 20:10 British Summer Time 31 August 2022

    West Ham 0-0 Tottenham

    Oh that is sooooo close for West Ham.

    Michail Antono gets the ball 25 yards out, shuffles onto his right foot and curls a beauty past a diving Hugo Lloris... but it cannons back off the post.

    Lifa: Haaland will break all the records in the Premier League if he doesn’t get injured and this would probably be the most one sided title race in the history of the English Premier League. Already saw it coming when City signed him.

    Liverpool 0-0 Newcastle

    All Liverpool in these early stages as a ball into the box is just over Mo Salah's left shoulder and Nick Pope collects.

    Erling Haaland hat-trick (38 mins)

    Just give him the Golden Boot.

    A first-half hat-trick for Erling Haaland.

    Phil Foden crosses it and John Stones heads it back across goal. We all know who's in the middle to nod it in. Remarkable.

    Haaland, league is over. He's going to end the debate we insist on having about the premier league being competitive. Boring few years ahead.

    David

    Haaland is quite frankly a cheat code at this point. He's absurdly good in this Man City team!

    Bournemouth 0-0 Wolves

    Wolves have a corner that Pedro Neto sends right into the middle of the box, Raul Jimenez leaps but is beaten to it by the other Neto.

    This isn't at all going to get confusing.

    Rhys: Any Liverpool fans left wanting to tell me again how £100m Nunez will be better than already record breaking £52m Haaland?

    SalfordBazza: If he stays fit there's a decent chance Haaland might break Alan Shearer's all time Premier League goal scoring record this season.

    Tattz: I'm always up for a bit of early football season hyperbolic statements - but Haaland really could get 50 goals this season. In that team, with those opportunities, and with his ability - I'd almost be disappointed if he got less than that.

    West Ham 0-0 Tottenham

    West Ham midfielder Declan Rice has a volley from outside the box but it's saved by Hugo Lloris.

    The Hammers have a corner which comes to nothing.

    The Arsenal fans sing 'You're getting sacked in the morning' to Steven Gerrard. It has been a poor start from his Villa team this season.

    Liverpool 0-0 Newcastle

    Bright start by Liverpool as Luis Diaz tries to pick out Mo Salah with a cross but it just misses the forward.

    Nick Pope then needs a bit of treatment for a knock but he's up and OK to continue soon enough.

    From his goal at Newcastle to his second tonight, Erling Haaland has scored six times in 136 playing minutes.

    That is effectively two goals per half of football.

    Not sure that many people felt he would have difficulty adjusting to the Premier League but those who did were wrong.

    After a long delay, the decision is no penalty to Spurs. Peter Bankes changes his mind after seeing it on the monitor.

    That took three and a half minutes.

    It's incredible it's taken 30 minutes but Arsenal get the goal they deserve. Aston Villa can barely get a kick at the moment.

    VAR having a good luck at this Spurs penalty. Is it a handball? Harry Kane was very close to him.

    Gabriel Jesus (30 mins)

    The pressure finally tells.

    Granit Xhaka's shot takes a slight deflection at the near post and Emi Martinez fumbles the ball, caught by the little change in direction, and Gabriel Jesus is there to gobble up the loose ball.
