    A clash of heads between Kieran Trippier and Jacob Brown but both players are all fine to carry on after their checks.

    A reminder that Burnley have won just two league games all season. They're 20 minutes away from a third.

    Former Tottenham midfielder on Final Score

    I've watched Burnley so much and every game Berge is so positive, makes these driving runs forward with the ball. Perhaps doesn't do it as much as he should given how good he is at it.

    Finally gets a finish to match, a great goal. Going well for Burnley.

    Nottingham Forest 1-2 Bournemouth

    Forest fans are baying for a red card.

    Antoine Semenyo, who was booked moments ago, catches Rob Yates on the toe as he looks to block a clearance.

    Rob Jones isn't having any of it, though. He gets some more boos.

    Sean Longstaff almost finds Bruno Guimarães with a curling ball over the top but Luton goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski puts it out.

  7. 'Everton have been the better team this half'published at 16:28 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Tottenham 2-0 Everton

    Mark Schwarzer
    Former Chelsea and Fulham keeper on BBC Radio 5 Live

    They have had the better of this second half, Everton. Tottenham have looked nervy at times and conceded possession.

    At the moment they look like the only team who are going to score.

    Tottenham 2-0 Everton

    Tottenham are desperate for this clean sheet. It's another corner which is half-cleared and the strike from Vitalii Mykolenko is blocked by a wall of defenders inside the six-yard area.

    Some ironic cheers for referee Rob Jones as he books Antoine Semenyo for pulling down Morgan Gibbs-White.

    Tottenham 2-0 Everton

    Spurs can't capitalise as they break through the middle - Son Heung-min slipping it left to Pape Matar Sarr, whose shot is blocked by James Tarkowski.

    GOAL - Fulham 0-2 Burnleypublished at 16:26 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Sander Berge

    Burnley fans are in dreamland!

    A driving run by Sander Berge who creates space for himself outside the box before drilling past Bernd Leno.

    The Clarets thoroughly deserve this lead.

    Tottenham 2-0 Everton

    Leon Osman
    Former Everton midfielder on Final Score

    Everton will be disappointed that they haven't gotten at least a goal back in this game.

    They've had a goal disallowed, another good chance missed by Garner a few moments ago. I'll be surprised if the scoring is finished in this one, both sides are still making plenty of chances.

    Ryan Giles carries it from his own half into the Newcastle box but the angle is tight as he forces a routine save from Martin Dubravka at his near post.

    Where does Nuno Espirito Santo turn with 10-man Forest now?

    He hasn't got many obvious attacking options left on the bench after introducing Callum Hudson-Odoi at the break.

    Tottenham 2-0 Everton

    Mark Schwarzer
    Former Chelsea and Fulham keeper on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Outside of the boot from Harrison and as it gets to Garner it's a really good touch but it just scrapes past the post.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:24 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Tottenham 2-0 Everton

    Not great news for Spurs as Richarlison heads off holding his back. He's replaced by Pierre-Emile Højbjerg.

    There's a few Evertonians in the stands happy to applaud Richarlison but also some... er, other gestures.

  17. Postpublished at 16:24 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Fulham 0-1 Burnley

    This is heating up as Rebecca Welch reaches for her top pocket for a third time.

    This time Burnley's Jordan Beyer is booked for a foul.

    It's niggly and it's on a knife-edge. The hosts are getting increasingly agitated as the clock tickets down.

  18. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:23 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Tottenham 2-0 Everton

    Jack Harrison flicks in a lovely pass with the outside of his boot through to James Garner and he clips the far post with a shot across goal.

    That would have been a sensational goal!

    No goal. The original decision stands. Offside.

    This is very, very tight. Alexander Isak could be inches onside or inches offside!
