    FT: Bournemouth 0-2 Tottenham

    Tottenham goalscorer James Maddison to TNT Sports: "I'm really happy with that, as cliché as it is to say there is no easy game in the Premier League. Bournemouth can be very tough, I've not had the greatest record here with my previous club so it's nice to come here and come and get three points. It can be a really difficult, sticky place to come. But I thought we stifled them really well and got the two goals."

    On his opener: "The one today I'm really happy with it. It was such nice passing in the build-up and I made a nice run, something I've been working on, when it works it's a satisfying feeling."

    On settling in at Spurs: "It's been very easy. It's not just on the pitch stuff. You gain relationships over the course of preseason. The tours, you intergrate yourself. And then the more time you spend on the training pitch the more relationships you kind of pick up. The dynamics are working brilliantly."

    On setting goal targets: "I have but I'm not going to tell you! I like to keep my targets short term. Keep trying to get goals and assists because that's what the club brought me in to do.

    "A 1-0 lead in the Premier League is tough but the second goal came at a beautiful time. It gave us a little bit of breathing room to see the game out.

    "I'll keep doing what I do and bringing the quality I can, repaying the club and why they bought me. That is to be that creative outlet for the team."

    Loving the comments from arsenal and manu fans saying the title is City's because their teams looks frail at the back, I think they are forgetting Liverpool and Newcastle and that suits both teams

    That was a strange half.

    Forest two up before the game had really got started, then Manchester United on top before the visitors finished the half strongly.

    I am pretty sure there will be more goals but Forest look capable of getting them.

    The half-time whistle goes and Nottingham Forest lead thanks to two goals in the opening four minutes.

    A familiar tale for these two sides. Just two efforts on target in those 45 minutes.

    Zahi: My mate is a massive Forest fan who moved to Australia. Anyone down there can help recommend good hiding couches? I’m sure he’ll be spending quite some time behind it this afternoon

    Man Utd 1-2 Nottm Forest

    Forest's first shot of the game that isn't a goal. Brennan Johnson flies down the right and pulls the ball back for Morgan Gibbs-White, whose shot is blocked... by his team-mate Taiwo Awoniyi.

  8. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:47 British Summer Time 26 August 2023

    Arsenal 0-1 Fulham

    The fastest goal in the Premier League this season - timed at 57 seconds - is the difference.

    Arsenal responded from the shock but didn't do enough to penetrate a disciplined and dogged Fulham.

  9. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:47 British Summer Time 26 August 2023

    Kevin Schade's fine solo goal is the difference, but this game is far from done and dusted.

    It does feel like a matter of time before Arsenal get this goal.

    They have Jesus and Zinchenko on the bench to bring on if they need to.

    At the moment though it is all Arsenal.

    Fair play to Marco Silva. No coat, just a jumper. He stands firm in the face of the weather down on that touchline.

  12. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:46 British Summer Time 26 August 2023

    Man Utd 1-2 Nottm Forest

    Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White is shown a yellow card for taking far too long over a free-kick.

    Players will learn to stop doing that soon I suspect.

  13. INJURY TIMEpublished at 15:46 British Summer Time 26 August 2023

    Everton 0-0 Wolves

    Matheus Cunha is able to carry on and surprisingly there are only going to be two minutes added on.

    This is typical arsenal, we can never do it the easy way... supporting this team isn't good for my heart rate!

    Best thing about watching Everton today is I can catch up on my sleep!

    Martin Odegaard with a pop that would have counted had it hit the net. Bernd Leno is right behind it, though.

    Three minutes added on. Forest are looking forward to that whistle.

  18. ouch!

    Postpublished at 15:44 British Summer Time 26 August 2023

    Everton 0-0 Wolves

    If you watched the highlights of Wolves' first two games then Matheus Cunha looked like a world beater, beating players for fun. He hasn't had any actual output though and again does well to run at the defence and get a shot away but it's blocked.

    He then goes up for a header and has a painful landing, with James Tarkowski standing on him. Ouch indeed.

  19. Postpublished at 15:44 British Summer Time 26 August 2023

    Brentford 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Marc Guehi has been linked with a move away from Palace this window, but he remains a rock at the heart of Roy Hodgson's defence for now.

    He underlines that with a firm tackle that is followed by Vitaly Janelt crashing into him. He's made of tough stuff, though, and dusts himself down before carrying on.

  20. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:44 British Summer Time 26 August 2023

    Man Utd 1-2 Nottm Forest

    Lisandro Martinez is all over Morgan Gibbs-White out on the wing and Forest have a free-kick.

    Gibbs-White crosses but Christian Eriksen heads away.

    United counter, and Serge Aurier clips Antony on the halfway line. The Forest player is booked.
