    Jonathan: Imagine sacking Ralph and replacing him with a unproven manager completely out of his depth at this level. Southampton getting what they deserve.

    Fulham 1-0 Southampton

    Unsurprisingly, Fulham's goal has now been officially given as an own goal to James Ward-Prowse.

    Bournemouth 0-2 Crystal Palace

    Bournemouth are all over the shop.

    Palace break forward again through Eberechi Eze but he can't quite get the ball into the stride of Jordan Ayew, allowing the home defence to rally and clear.

    Newcastle 0-0 Leeds

    Jack Harrison does well to dance his way between three Newcastle players but he then shoots into the sidenetting from just inside the box. Better from Leeds, though, after a spell of Newcastle pressure.

    Fulham 1-0 Southampton

    Not sure what Aleksandar Mitrovic was thinking here...

    Willian touches it on to him in the Southampton half and, a long way out, Mitrovic instinctively hoofs it towards goal.

    It's way into the stands.

    Bournemouth 0-2 Crystal Palace

    It gets worse for Bournemouth. Philip Billing's injured hip means he has to go off.

    He is replaced by Siriki Dembele.

    The Cherries have a long way to claw back.

    Perhaps Everton and West Ham should arrange a loan swap deal for their respective managers. Needn't cost much.

    Man City 1-0 Everton

    Dominic Calvert-Lewin does so well to keep the ball in the box after a flick-on from Amadou Onana.

    He plays it back around the box and it's chipped in towards the back post to Vitalii Mykolenko but he misjudges his jump.

    Eberechi Eze

    Another Palace corner, another Palace goal!

    This is a very different goal, though. Michael Olise takes this one to the edge of the box where Eberechi Eze is waiting to hit a shot that takes a deflection and beats Mark Travers.

    Palace are in firm control now.

    Newcastle 0-0 Leeds

    Feels like Newcastle are getting closer to a goal as they win another corner when a ball into the box is headed behind.

    The hosts mix it up with a short corner that ends with Joe Willock trying to bend in a shot from the edge of the box but Illan Meslier makes the save.

    Bournemouth 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Screams for a penalty from the Bournemouth fans.

    It is Kieffer Moore that is bundled over in the box as he shaped to shoot by Cheick Doucoure.

    It's a bit risky by Doucoure but I don't think there is enough there to warrant a spot kick. Neither does Andre Marriner.

    Andreas Pereira (33 mins)

    From the corner, it falls to Andreas Pereira on the edge of the box and he smashes it with power back into the box.

    There's bodies everywhere and it takes a huge deflection off Southampton's James Ward-Prowse, flicking it over everybody and into the corner.

    It might even be given as an own goal but Pereira will take the plaudits.

    Kevin de Bruyne brings down Amadou Onana and joins Bernardo Silva in the book.

    From the free-kick, Demarai Gray wins a throw-in off Riyad Mahrez.

    Fulham 0-0 Southampton

    Saints' 19-year-old Samuel Edozie shows what he can do with a dazzling run from the left, cutting inside and playing a one-two before drilling a shot straight at the goalkeeper.

    Bournemouth 0-1 Crystal Palace

    First sight of Bournemouth in the Palace box for a while.

    A free-kick is met by Kieffer Moore but his header into the six-yard box is plucked out of the air by Vicente Guaita.

    From the last three set pieces, Newcastle should be 3-0 up. What are Leeds doing? You've got to mark a man, all they do is mark space.There's not one of them who wants to attack the ball and head it.

    Newcastle 0-0 Leeds

    Again Leeds are all over the shop for a set piece as Kieran Trippier's delivery from a free kick is met by Sven Botman on the stretch but he prods his shot straight at Illan Meslier.

    VAR might have ruled it out for a marginal offside had he scored but still, Leeds need to tighten up for set pieces.

    Fulham 0-0 Southampton

    Fulham are showing some frustration as they continue to knock on the door but the final ball isn't falling for them.

    Bobby De Cordova-Reid is getting involved a lot.
