    That's why Pep Guardiola was getting frustrated because he could see the complacency setting in.

    That is complete smash and grab. Palace are back in it and that will send tension around the stadium. From a position of complete comfort, there is some action again.

    A lovely goal for Palace against the run of play as Jeffrey Schlupp gets the better of Ruben Dias and Kyle Walker, fizzes in a low cross and Jean-Philippe Mateta pokes in from close range.

    Two goals in seven minutes and Newcastle are well on course for their first win after three successive losses. Miguel Almiron scored from close range after Callum Wilson thought he had been fouled by Antonee Robinson.

    There was then a VAR check for offside, with Wilson narrowly onside.

    It would be very difficult to play on.

    Unless there is complete transparency on how Tom [Lockyer] is, I would have found it difficult to play on.

    BBC commentator Chris Wise has just reported that they have been told Tom Lockyer is "alert and responsive" in the tunnel.

    That is positive news from the Vitality Stadium.

    It is very, very comfortable at the moment for City but Guardiola will want another goal. He wants to be able to enjoy the game.

    Bournemouth 1-1 Luton

    Tom Lockyer had heart surgery in June to address a problem that saw him collapse during Luton's play-off final win at Wembley.

    The 28-year-old had an atrial fibrillation, a condition the NHS describes as causing "an irregular and often abnormally fast heart rate".

    We wish him all the best.

    What a moment for 17-year-old Lewis Miley, firing in a beautiful low finish in front of the Gallowgate end for his first Newcastle goal.

    Miley, who came on for the injured Joelinton in the first half, has been with the club's academy since the age of seven and gets the opening goal as finally 10-man Fulham's defence is breached.

    "Lewis Miley, he's one of our own," is the very loud chant ringing around St James' Park.
