    Fulham 2-1 Arsenal

    Way over the bar from Martin Odegaard at the free-kick.

    Here come the changes for Arsenal...

  2. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 15:26 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Tottenham 1-0 Bournemouth

    Double change for Bournemouth.

    Justin Kluivert and Luis Sinisterra come off for Antoine Semenyo and Philip Billing.

  3. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:26 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Fulham 2-1 Arsenal

    Tom Cairney gets the game's first booking for a foul on Bukayo Saka.

    This is a decent shooting opportunity and Martin Odegaard is lining it up.

  4. CLOSE!published at 15:25 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Tottenham 1-0 Bournemouth

    How are Bournemouth losing this game?

    They work the ball really nicely out to Marcus Tavernier on the right wing.

    His low cross is met by Dominic Solanke but he's in front of the near post and is unable to get enough on the ball to turn it home.

    Arsenal have gone all Spursy. While Tottenham are playing like West Ham. Oh dear.

  6. CLOSE!published at 15:24 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Fulham 2-1 Arsenal

    Massive, massive chance.

    Fulham make a mess of clearing a cross from the left and the ball loops to Bukayo Saka completely unmarked at the back post.

    He has time to steady himself but slices his volley high and wide from seven yards or so.

  7. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:23 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Tottenham 1-0 Bournemouth

    A planned substitution I reckon.

    Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg replaces Rodrigo Bentancur with almost an hour on the clock.

  8. VAR

    Video Assistant Refereepublished at 15:22 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Tottenham 1-0 Bournemouth

    Has Max Aarons fouled Giovani Lo Celso?

    Simon Hooper says no and VAR, after taking a look, decides no too.

  9. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:21 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Tottenham 1-0 Bournemouth

    Oliver Skipp goes in the book for a very late tackle on Lewis Cook.

    Simon Hooper has to go back to dish out the card after playing advantage. The game stops when Justin Kluivert, who is already in the book, trips Pedro Porro. He's maybe a bit lucky to not see a second card there.

  10. Postpublished at 15:21 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Fulham 2-1 Arsenal

    Mikel Arteta is furious on the touchline, waving his arms at his players. They've just not been at it today.

    There are 29 minutes plus stoppage time to go.

  11. 'Turning into a disaster for Arsenal'published at 15:20 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Fulham 2-1 Arsenal

    Matthew Upson
    Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    This is fast turning into a disaster for Arsenal. They made a hash of the set play and failed to clear the ball.

    GOAL - Fulham 2-1 Arsenalpublished at 15:19 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Bobby De Cordova-Reid

    It's pinball in the Arsenal box at a corner and Bobby De Cordova-Reid is there to convert for Fulham!

    Big problems for Arsenal now.

  13. 'Deserved to be a goal'published at 15:19 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Tottenham 1-0 Bournemouth

    Matt Jarvis
    Former Wolves & Norwich winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It deserved to be a goal, fantastic play, end to end. A delightful cross ball from Son and Richarlison has more time than he thinks.

  14. Postpublished at 15:18 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Fulham 1-1 Arsenal

    Having been forced to sit in at the start of this half, Fulham start to apply some pressure.

    They win a second corner in quick succession...

  15. Postpublished at 15:17 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Tottenham 1-0 Bournemouth

    Almost the sucker punch!

    Brilliant counter attack from Spurs as Giovani Lo Celso plays a nice pass out to Son Heung-min.

    The left winger plays a superb reverse pass through the Bournemouth defence to Richarlison, but he drags his effort wide.

    He slaps the turf in frustration.

  16. Postpublished at 15:16 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Tottenham 1-0 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth come again.

    They win a corner which Guglielmo Vicario punches out to Marcus Tavernier.

    His effort is blocked behind for another corner.

    Spurs have left their half once in the opening five minutes of the second period.

  17. Postpublished at 15:16 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Fulham 1-1 Arsenal

    Substitute Takehiro Tomiyasu has already made more passes in this game than isolated frontman Eddie Nketiah.

    Nketiah has had two touches in the Fulham box.

  18. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:15 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Tottenham 1-0 Bournemouth

    It is literally all Bournemouth.

    A corner is met by Dominic Solanke at the back post and Guglielmo Vicario has to push the header away.

    Maybe Solanke was a little early in the air and couldn't get enough power on the header.

  19. Postpublished at 15:14 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Tottenham 1-0 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth just can't get that final moment right.

    Justin Kluivert does well to drift in from the left but his attempted pass through to Dominic Solanke is far too weak and is intercepted.

  20. Postpublished at 15:12 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Fulham 1-1 Arsenal

    Fulham and Arsenal drew 2-2 earlier this season and I wouldn't bet against a draw today. Ben White moves forward down the right but he chips a cross over the bar.
