    Love it Jono! Red shirt, white shorts, red socks completes it.

    Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest assistant manager Alan Tate gets a yellow card for entering the technical area when a member of the Forest coaching staff was already in it.

    It's a one in one out policy these days.

    Much better from Nottingham Forest as a Serge Aurier cross deflects off Ryan Yates and straight to Anthony Elanga.

    The ex-Manchester United winger arches his body to meet the ball on the volley, but his powerful strike skids wide.

    FT: Arsenal 2-1 Wolves

    Arsenal

    Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "We started so strong again. The first half was brilliant. We scored two good goals and dominated everything. We let them in a little bit with the goal, but that’s football. I guess we have to learn from that.

    "We know in the Premier League that you can never switch off. Today was a good example of that. We have to make sure we do even better next time we go 2-0 up.

    "It’s been a good week with some good results. We’re there at the top and we have to keep improving and keep pushing.

    "[The schedule] is tough, but almost the whole season is tough. You don’t have much time to recover. We have to be smart with our recovery and get some rest before the next game [against Luton]."

    There's a frustration from the Forest crowd at the lack of possession their team are able to have.

    The more I watch that Beto chance, the more I'm sure he has to score it.

    He snatched at the effort when he had time to bring it down.

    On the break, Anthony Elanga drives forward for Forest down the left, but his cross is straight at Jordan Pickford in the Everton goal.

  11. 'So happy for Shandon'published at 17:55 Greenwich Mean Time 2 December 2023

    FT: Brentford 3-1 Luton

    Brentford

    Brentford manager Thomas Frank, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Very deserved, it was a very good performance in many ways. We had a plan for the Arsenal game a week ago and it was a different plan for Luton today.

    "Until their goal we were very dominant. With the amount of injuries we have, basically we have our four full backs out, it was great.

    "When you are dominating a game, if you keep the tempo and intensity, that is difficult to defend against and we did that very well."

    Kristoffer Ajer injury: "Ajer is OK, we knew he had an issue with his foot so we were prepared with a substitute."

    On Shandon Baptiste scoring his first goal in two years: "I'm so happy for Shandon, he has been unlucky with injuries but he helped the team today so I'm pleased for that."

    On whether he agrees with Christian Norgaard getting booked for time wasting: "Absolutely the wrong decision.

    "He had the ball in his hands for just eight seconds. I'm all for getting a quicker game. We did a routine, we time our routines, they are very consistent so that was the wrong decision."

    Forest keeper Odysseas Vlachodimos and defender Willy Boly run into each over and the ball falls to Beto but the Portuguese forward smashes his effort over the bar.

    A HUGE chance wasted.

    Dwight McNeil and James Garner are the latest two Everton midfielders to have crosses into the Forest box headed away.

    The visitors also have a quick penalty shout with the ball bouncing into a Forest player's elbow.

    But his arm, was by his side and VAR rightly says no pen.

    Burnley

    Burnley scorer Jay Rodriguez to BBC Sport: "It's a big game. We knew it would be tough. We know we need to keep progressing. We deserve this win.

    "The early goal settled the nerves a bit. I'm delighted. We fully deserve it.

    "It was a great performance. Hopefully this is a step in the right direction. It was important to start off really well.

    "It [five different scorers] is a massive help. Massive for confidence. Anyone can score at any time. The big performance was Traff [goalkeeper James Trafford]. I thought he was man of the man. He controlled the tempo."

    Well Todd, Everton certainly look the likelier to open the scoring as James Garner has a pop from range easily saved by Forest keeper Odysseas Vlachodimos.

    Sean Dyche's side are playing some nice football.

    I fancy Everton to get a good result here. They're fired up, they were unlucky against United, and they've been playing really well lately. Plus Beto has got to be due, surely. Hat-trick for the big man and Everton running out 4-0 or 4-1 winners. Guaranteed.
