    Pinball inside the Burnley penalty area right at the end of the half. It ends with an acrobatic attempt by Rodrigo Muniz which sails well wide.

    Callum Wilson is given a stern look by goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski as he tries to kick it out of his hands...

  4. 'Big chance'published at 15:48 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Tottenham 2-0 Everton

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

    It's a big chance for Everton. I don't think Jack Harrison's first touch is the best. It gave the defenders a chance to get back, and Vicario was able to make the save.

    It was then very good clean up from his defenders.

    Tottenham 2-0 Everton

    Everton are finishing the half on top at Tottenham as Dwight McNeil jinxes into the box and wins a corner.

  6. CLOSE!published at 15:47 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Nottingham Forest 0-0 Bournemouth

    Antoine Semenyo has been a real livewire for Bournemouth in the last 10 minutes or so.

    He cuts in from the right and hits a vicious left-footed strike but there isn't quite enough curl on it to find the bottom corner.

  7. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:47 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Tottenham 2-0 Everton

    What a chance for Jack Harrison! Andre Gomes pings it over to him on the break and Harrison is clean through.

    He races towards Guglielmo Vicario but the Spurs goalkeeper stands his ground. He's made some big saves in this half.

  8. INJURY TIMEpublished at 15:46 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Nottingham Forest 0-0 Bournemouth

    We'll have a minimum of six minutes added on at the end of the first half at the City Ground.

    Can 10-man Forest at least get into half-time?

  9. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:44 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Fulham 0-0 Burnley

    Another great save by James Trafford!

    The Burnley keeper has to adjust his hands in mid-air to keep out Alex Iwobi's deflected attempt.

    Burnley respond with a counter attack and Lyle Foster wins a corner.

  10. Postpublished at 15:44 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Nottingham Forest 0-0 Bournemouth

    Again, Bournemouth are just lacking the finishing touch.

    They counter on Forest after Anthony Elanga isn't given a free-kick at the other end.

    Dango Ouattara is able to cross the left but Antoine Semenyo's stooping header is weak and comfortable for Matt Turner.

  11. 'No definitive proof that Smith is in the area'published at 15:44 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Nottingham Forest 0-0 Bournemouth

    Leon Osman
    Former Everton midfielder on Final Score

    I think in the modern day game that is a penalty.

    Adam Smith goes to kick the ball with his right foot and it hits his arm.

    I would like to see another angle from behind the goal because I that is a very tight call. But if they are the only ones we are going to get there is no definitive proof that Smith is in fact in the area.

  12. 'Unfortunate for Everton'published at 15:43 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Tottenham 2-0 Everton

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

    It's really unfortunate for Everton. The ball is literally within half a metre of the second ball and Mykolenko couldn't get the touch. He will certainly have been put off by that.

  13. Postpublished at 15:43 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Luton 1-0 Newcastle

    Miguel Almiron cuts onto his right foot and bends one miles into the stands and over the bar.

  14. Postpublished at 15:43 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Tottenham 2-0 Everton

    Well, this isn't ideal!

    There's two balls on the pitch as Vitalii Mykolenko fires one wide from an Everton attack down the right.

    Sean Dyche is fuming on the touchline but there's nothing the referee can do apart from bring play back.

    Andros Townsend drills one towards Martin Dubravka. Luton are full of confidence!

    Tottenham have scored in 30 consecutive matches which is a reason for Santa on the roof to have a party.

    Fulham 0-0 Burnley

    Jimmy Anderson is at Craven Cottage cheering on his beloved Burnley. He'll be reasonably pleased with what he has seen. The Clarets are defending well and frustrating Fulham.

  18. Postpublished at 15:40 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Luton 1-0 Newcastle

    Fabian Schar nods wide from a free-kick but there's a flag up for offside anyway.

  19. Postpublished at 15:40 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Nottingham Forest 0-0 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth have just lacked that little bit of quality in the final third so far.

    Marcus Tavernier does brilliantly to escape down the left but he then clips the cross straight into Matt Turner's hands.

  20. Postpublished at 15:40 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Tottenham 2-0 Everton

    Plenty of feisty challenges going in at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium from both sides.

    There's a VAR check for a potential penalty on Dominic Calvert-Lewin as he goes flying over the top of goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario. It comes to nothing.
