    Brentford 1-0 Aston Villa

    Corner number nine for Aston Villa. Surely they make one of these count? Not this time as Boubacar Kamara sends a free header wide.

    GOAL - West Ham 2-1 Wolvespublished at 15:18 Greenwich Mean Time 17 December 2023

    Pablo Sarabia

    Wolves are back in this.

    Nelson Semedo plays a ball across the six-yard box which Pablo Sarabia sweeps in.

    But it's being checked for offside.

    Noel: I can't agree with De Zerbi's obsession with playing it out from the back. There are times when Row Z is the best option. It'll be Brighton's downfall here.

    West Ham 2-0 Wolves

    Decent spell for Wolves and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde smashes over.

    I'm all for playing out from the back, but if it's not working then surely you have to have a plan B?

    Brighton's midfield have no legs and Arsenal are breaking on them.

    Arsenal could get two or three now.

    Arsenal 1-0 Brighton

    Another Arsenal chance from a corner. Gabriel Jesus heads it down and Martin Odegaard shoots wide.

    That goal takes Arsenal top of the table. Liverpool play Manchester United in 75 minutes.

    Ollie Watkins scored 45 league goals for Brentford but he has had little impact against his former side today. He's not yet had a shot of note for Villa.

    You get what you deserve, Brighton, because you're overplaying and giving away stupid chances!

    That's poor goalkeeping too.

    £100m for Rice buys you JWP, Kudus and Alvarez. It's like shopping at TK Maxx.

    Arsenal take the lead.

    Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke flicks on an Arsenal corner with his head accidentally and Gabriel Jesus stoops at the back post to head into an empty net.

    Arsenal 0-0 Brighton

    Brilliant defending by Jan Paul van Hecke to stop Martin Odegaard from having a tap-in from Bukayo Saka's ball. A move again created by Brighton messing up playing it out of defence.

    Brentford 1-0 Aston Villa

    Aston Villa are starting to look a little leggy. They've had a lot of games recently and that is perhaps starting to catch up with them.

    Imagine a football fan from the 1970s or 1980s seeing all the passing round the back these days. They wouldn't believe it.

    Craig: Arsenal playing exactly as they did at Villa park, dominating play but not very clinical (16 shots!). Need to find a cutting edge, feels like a game where we get sucker punched right now

    Kurdoza: it’s clear as daylight Arsenal need a proper goal scorer otherwise they won’t win the league.

    West Ham's Nayef Aguerd heads over from a corner.

    Arsenal 0-0 Brighton

    Brighton almost get caught out playing from the back twice in a minute but Bart Vebruggen gets to Martin Odegaard's ball before Bukayo Saka.

    Brentford 1-0 Aston Villa

    Aston Villa have their seventh corner of the game, Mark Flekken claws at the delivery before his defence eventually manages to clear.

  20. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:06 Greenwich Mean Time 17 December 2023

    Brentford 1-0 Aston Villa

    Christian Nørgaard is booked for a late challenge. He has a bit of a nervous wait as VAR checks to see if it is worthy of upgrading to a red, but the check is quick and the original decision stands.
