    These VAR delays are verging on the ridiculous now. Easy for me to say as a neutral, but I’d rather live with the referees’ mistakes than have these interminable delays suck the atmosphere out of the match.

    Not a criticism of the VAR officials themselves, who are just doing the job, but there cannot be a football fan out there who enjoys this protracted offside reviews. Introduce a 90-second review timer, if you can't decide after that then let the on-field decision stand.

    Tottenham 1-0 Aston Villa

    More bad news injury wise for Tottenham. Rodrigo Bentancur needed treatment a few minutes ago and he's gone down on to the pitch again. It came after a bad challenge from Matty Cash, who caught Bentancur on the ankle with a badly-timed sliding challenge.

    On comes Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, with Bentancur hobbling off.

    On Tottenham's goal...

    Thoroughly deserved. Villa will be disappointed, you can't leave someone on the edge of the box like that with Lo Celso. That much time and space, it's a great strike.

  4. DISALLOWED GOAL - Watkins (Aston Villa)published at 14:28 Greenwich Mean Time 26 November 2023

    Tottenham 1-0 Aston Villa

    It took longer than it should've done - almost three minutes - but eventually the VAR lines appear on the graphic and Ollie Watkins was adjudged offside when he headed in from Lucas Digne's cross past Guglielmo Viacrio.

    It is one for VAR to check. We had issues with VAR earlier on in this match, hopefully it is all working now.

    Villa have the ball in the net, but was Ollie Watkins offside? This might be an instant equaliser for Aston Villa.

    GOAL - Tottenham 1-0 Aston Villapublished at 21 mins

    Giovani lo Celso

    Spurs finally get the breakthrough. Villa fail to clear the corner, it falls to Giovani lo Celso on the edge of the penalty area and he drills it goalwards.

    The ball bounces off the knee of Diego Carlos and into the net, but it will go down as Lo Celso's goal - his first of the season.

    Wow, a mad game, it could be 3-1, yet it's goalless. Villa's defence is suspect already.

    How is this still goalless? Again Brennan Johnson is free in the box and again he is unselfish.

    Son Heung-min has a tap-in with the goal at his mercy if the ball reaches him, but brilliant goal-saving defending from Diego Carlos, facing the wrong way, and he manages to get a backheel to the cross to stop it reaching Son.

    The best 0-0 you could wish to see so far.

    Playing styles make games and this one had the look of being one of these sorts of games and that is exactly how it is turning out.

  12. Dyche 'perfect manager' for this momentpublished at 14:17 Greenwich Mean Time 26 November 2023

    Everton v Man Utd (16:30 GMT)

    There's a hive of activity outside Goodison Park with a number of volunteers handing out thousands of anti-Premier League protest cards, making clear their feeling of injustice at the 10-point deduction.

    New banners will be displayed in the stands after fans' group The 1878 raised over £40,000 during a crowd funding campaign.

    One of the organisers, Benjamin Winstanley of The Bullens View podcast, arrived early to make sure all supporters will join together to make their feelings known.

    "There is a strong feeling of injustice," he tells BBC Sport before the game. "The fine is disproportionate but it has brought fan together for one narrative.

    "We saw the plane over the Etihad Stadium on Saturday and this game is live on TV too so we are doing as much as we can with banners and card.

    "Now we need to rally together to push for the appeal. It is uniting the fanbase, that is for sure.

    "Manager Sean Dyche will relish his moment, he is the perfect manager right now for what we are up against. We have our backs to the wall, it is us against everyone else."

    On Brennan Johnson's cross that could not find a team-mate...

    Go hard and low. It's a comfortable height for Emiliano Martinez. If he tries to drill it into the far corner and misses it Son Heung-min is there at the back post for a tap in.

  14. CLOSE!published at 13 mins

    Tottenham 0-0 Aston Villa

    This is one of the most open starts to a game I've seen in a while. Brennan Johnson is free on the right side of the six-yard box but just can't find a team-mate.

    And Spurs come again. Pedro Porro releases Johnson down the left, this time he does find a team-mate - and it's the man Spurs fans want on the end of it - Son Heung-min.

    But, slightly off balance, but unmarked 10 yards out and central, sends his finish over the top. What a chance. You would've bet on Son netting from there.

    The opening five minutes of this game has seen more ‘expected goals’ than most games… and no goals. Anticipation at a high now!

    And another chance. This one for Tottenham, but Bryan Gil can't beat Emiliano Martinez. This is going to be one of the games of the season if it stays like this. Somehow goalless, with all the chances falling to players not renowned for their goalscoring.

    If this is how it's going to be this could be 6-6. It should be 2-2 and we've only been playing four-and-a-half minutes.

    You have to wonder how Eric Dier feels today, both regular centre backs out and the manager picks a full-back and a wing-back to play instead. January calling?

    Pete in Hammersmith

    Spurs are playing a back four of full-backs. Not sure if I'm shocked, impressed, confused or all three?

    Both sides have now missed two glorious chances apiece. Villa's second opportunity sees Lucas Digne on the left find Pau Torres and he just has to do better with his header from eight yards out but, unmarked, nods wide.

    He tries to bend it into that far corner, he doesn't do everything right because they should be winning 1-0 but the technique was very good.
