    HT: Wolves 0-0 Aston Villa

    We could probably have predicted this would be goalless at the break.

    Wolverhampton Wanderers have stopped the opposition from scoring a first-half goal in 7 of their 8 games, no team has done this more in the Premier League this season.

    Villa have stopped the opposition from scoring a first-half goal in 6 of their 8 games, only Crystal Palace (7) and Wolves have done this more often this season.

    Guy: Newcastle looked so unbalanced and with Isak on the wing have nothing in the middle. Possession means nothing.

    Anon: Massively missing Gordan. I hope he gets his first goal for us and proves me wrong but don't think Anderson is offering anything. Our left side is very poor which is making it very easy for West Ham. We always struggle against teams that have two holding midfielders (Brighton, Villa, West Ham).

    HT: Brighton 1-2 Liverpool

    How about this for a run...

    Liverpool are unbeaten in their past 126 Premier League matches when leading at half-time (W116, D10) dating back to 4th December 2016 against Bournemouth (L3-4).

    Stevo: No card for Pascal Gross? Did I miss it? Surely that’s a goal scoring opportunity?!?

    Tom: Can someone explain how pulling a player to the ground who’s about to roll the ball into an empty net isn’t a red card?

    Dan: Why wasn't that a red card for Brighton, deliberate foul and goal scoring opportunity.

    Javel: Not sure what Brighton players are complaining about. That should be a red card. Certain goal!

  5. HALF-TIMEpublished at 14:50 British Summer Time 8 October 2023

    Wolves 0-0 Aston Villa

    Closely-contested affair here. Wolves shading it in terms of chances.

    Brighton 1-2 Liverpool

    What a turnaround.

    Brighton were in charge at 1-0 and playing well. Suddenly, it all comes undone and Mohamed Salah's double means the Reds go in ahead.

    Brighton need to regroup. At times you need to just get bodies behind the ball. Get in at half-time and regroup and come out again.

  8. HALF-TIMEpublished at 14:48 British Summer Time 8 October 2023

    West Ham 1-0 Newcastle

    West Ham have the lead at half time thanks to Tomas Soucek's early goal.

    What has happened to Brighton?

    They looked so good up until five minutes ago and now they're looking really shaky.

    Dan: And that my friends, is why Mo Salah is priceless. Game changer.

    James: Is there any point in scoring first against Liverpool? All it seems to do is remind them how good their attack is!

    Mohamed Salah

    From 1-0 down to 2-1 up in a flash!

    In the space of only a few minutes, Liverpool have turned this on its head. Mohamed Salah calmly slots in the penalty.

    Steve Sidwell

    Again, it's Brighton's undoing there. I'm not so sure the pass as on there.

    I'm not sure which challenge it has been given for.

  13. Postpublished at 14:43 British Summer Time 8 October 2023

    West Ham 1-0 Newcastle

    Newcastle have had 72% possession according to the stats but have managed just one shot on target as half time approaches. It isn't quite happening for them yet.

  14. PENALTY TO LIVERPOOLpublished at 14:43 British Summer Time 8 October 2023

    Brighton 1-1 Liverpool

    Brighton are imploding!

    Bart Verbruggen's pass to Pascal Gross in the Albion box is awful and Dominik Szoboszlai is on him in a flash. The German is struggling and has to drag down his rival to stop him getting an effort on goal.

  15. Postpublished at 14:43 British Summer Time 8 October 2023

    Brighton 1-1 Liverpool

    Brave from Bart Verbruggen, who charges out to pounce on a nodded on free-kick ahead of the sliding Luis Diaz. He takes a boot to the stomach in the process.

  16. 'A marvellous goal'published at 14:42 British Summer Time 8 October 2023

    Brighton 1-1 Liverpool

    Steve Sidwell
    Former Villa and Brighton midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live

    What a marvellous goal that is there. Given away cheaply by Brighton and that is like the Red Arrows of Liverpool.

    Real quick, consecutive passing and it is great awareness by Harvey Elliott to let it run to Mohamed Salah.

    Great goal by Liverpool.

    GOAL - Brighton 1-1 Liverpoolpublished at 14:40 British Summer Time 8 October 2023

    Mohamed Salah

    Mohamed Salah hasn't really been in this game but now he has a goal.

    Lewis Dunk's poor pass into midfield is nicked by Liverpool, who fire the ball forward to the edge of the box. One Darwin Nunez pass and an intelligent leave from Harvey Elliott later, Salah has a sight of goal which he takes full advantage of. Ruthless.

    West Ham 1-0 Newcastle

    Michail Antonio almost breaks through the defence to get onto Lucas Paquetá's pass but he can't sort his feet out quickly enough and Newcastle clear.

    Tom: Anon, not sure you can comment on Newcastle being leggy from a comfortable home win on Wednesday when West Ham played a really tight game in Germany on Thursday.

    Matt: You’ve slightly undersold the live text comment at 14:22 with Guimaraes committing the most blatant yellow I’ve seen this season a few minutes after being booked. Appalling refereeing. They’re not helping Howard Webb.

    Wolves 0-0 Aston Villa

    There are a group of Wolves players around Rayan Ait-Nouri looking a bit concerned. After a bit of treatment, though, he is able to get back to his feet and regain some composure.

    Looks like he's going to be OK, thankfully. There'll be some time added to this half now, though.
