    Blackburn 0-1 Nottingham Forest

    Brennan Johnson leads a counter-attack after an error from Blackburn defender Scott Wharton. Johnson goes for goal but, under pressure from a challenge by Jake Garrett, sends it wide.

    We haven't got VAR tonight, if we had Garrett may well have conceded a penalty then as he slid in and caught the Wales international as he shot at goal.

    Manuel Benson is looking full of confidence. He is the player that is causing Manchester United problems.

    Man Utd 1-0 Burnley

    For those who haven't watched much of Burnley this season, Manuel Benson is a lively player. Now he's starting to strut his stuff on a very big stage.

    The Belgian winger cuts in from the right and pings a left-foot shot which Martin Dubravka has to push wide.

    From the resulting set-piece, Dubravka goes walkabout and tips the cross back to his own goal.

    Casemiro comes to the rescue to hook clear before the ball goes in.

    Blackburn 0-1 Nottingham Forest

    Forest's Neco Williams does well to get in the way from Lewis Travis' cross to stop it reaching Clinton Mola.

    But Blackburn come again and Ryan Hedges then crosses from a decent position but Dean Henderson is there to wipe out the danger.

  5. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:36 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2022

    Charlton 0-0 Brighton

    Two minutes are added at the Valley before the half-time whistle goes. An entertaining game, with Brighton bossing possession, yet the hosts have had two shots on target to just one for the Premier League visitors, although Adam Lallana had a shot which clipped the Charlton crossbar.

    Man Utd 1-0 Burnley

    Burnley, for all their good work, have not yet managed a shot on target.

    Still, they stick to their principles and retain the belief they will get a chance.

    One is created by Manuel Benson - who scored twice against Middlesbrough at the weekend - when he twists and turns Victor Lindelof before shooting into the side-netting.

    Blackburn 0-1 Nottingham Forest

    Blackburn's Clinton Mola gives it away with poor control and Forest almost capitalise but Taiwo Awoniyi glances a header wide from Neco Williams' cross with Jesse Lingard then just unable to get on the end of it.

    Man Utd 1-0 Burnley

    What response will Burnley show? A good one. They instantly go in search of an equaliser with Manuel Benson doing some good work down the right, but Scott McTominay is back inside his box to boot clear.

    Moments later, Anthony Martial has a pop from distance but it is comfortable for Bailey Peacock-Farrell to gather.

  9. CLOSE!published at 20:32 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2022

    Charlton 0-0 Brighton

    Billy Gilmour and Levi Colwill have not exactly made the most of their opportunity so far tonight, but Gilmour has just found Colwill in the Charlton box following an Albion corner and Ashley Maynard-Brewer dives to his left to palm away Colwill's shot.

  10. 'A fantastic goal'published at 20:30 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2022

    Man Utd 1-0 Burnley

    That was sensational. The whole move was about two minutes long.

    Burnley tried to press United at the other end of the pitch but they played out and they got Bruno Fernandes into a wonderful position.

    Burnley got numbers behind the ball but United were patient and used the width.

    It was a really late run from Aaron Wan-Bissaka and it was a beautiful ball to him from Fernandes.

    It is a fantastic goal.

    Charlton 0-0 Brighton

    Charlton aren't just frustrating Brighton, they're having some joy themselves.

    Steven Sessegnon gets into the Seagulls' box before Brighton captain Lewis Dunk makes a timely lunge to block Sessegnon's goalbound strike.

  12. Postpublished at 20:29 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2022

    Blackburn 0-1 Nottingham Forest

    Ryan Yates heads at goal but it is wide from the Forest man. Steve Cooper's men are in complete control but may be starting to get frustrated that they haven't got a second goal yet. Blackburn 1-0 down and hanging on, desperately trying to not let it get any worse.

    GOAL - Man Utd 1-0 Burnleypublished at 20:28 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2022

    Christian Eriksen (26 mins)

    A bit of quality!

    Burnley's defence had stopped Manchester United finding a way through in the previous minute or two, but not this time.

    Aaron Wan-Bissaka flings himself at a diagonal crossfield pass from Bruno Fernandes, keeping the ball in at the byeline and volleying the ball square to Christian Eriksen.

    The Dane reads the situation and is perfectly placed to smash in the opening goal.

    Manchester United enjoy a period of pressure in the Burnley half, patiently looking to pick the lock.

    Burnley holding firm for the moment.

    Blackburn 0-1 Nottingham Forest

    It's another attack down the Forest right wing this time Brennan Johnson feeds the overlapping Neco Williams. It is turned behind for a corner with Ashley Phillips then blocking a Forest shot.

    If Manchester United are to bring someone in to replace Cristiano Ronaldo it will have to be a big name. Not anyone can wear that number seven shirt at this club.

    Man Utd 0-0 Burnley

    Anthony Martial is playing up front for Manchester United tonight and, while his pressing style can often be described as languid, it is more energetic than you know who...

    Blackburn 0-1 Nottingham Forest

    A lightning quick counter attack from the visitors and it ends with Orel Mangala trying his luck with a side-footed effort but Aynsley Pears has his body behind the shot and deals with it.

    Charlton are frustrating Brighton - and they're frustrating me.

    They've got their shape, they're very well organised and they're making it hard for Brighton to break them down.

    Blackburn 0-1 Nottingham Forest

    Forest look to be in again as Jesse Lingard links up with Brennan Johnson and again he has the beating of Clinton Mola, getting the wrong side of his marker, but Lewis Travis does well to cover and send it behind for a corner, which comes to nothing.
