YELLOW CARD

Tottenham 1-0 Brentford

That's a really naughty challenge by Cristian Romero!

Brentford's players want referee Rob Jones to show a red for that late tackle but the Argentine escapes with a caution.

How many is that for Romero this season?

CLOSE!

Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea

Antoine Semenyo races to the byline and somehow fires a shot that's destined for the bottom corner.

Robert Sanchez produces a stunning save and Evanilson can't finish from a yard out.

Delap injured after physically imposing 30 minutes

Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea

Chelsea striker Liam Delap has been extremely physical in his battles today but has ultimately dislocated his shoulder.

He was defensively marking at a set-piece and his marker fell on him, dislocating his shoulder, and he has immediately been taken off for teenage striker Marc Guiu.

Interestingly, Delap was probably lucky not to be booked after kicking out and catching Marcos Senesi with a stray arm in two separate incidents.

It feels a bit like the "throwback no. 9" was a victim of his own approach.

Big lift for Spurs

Unselfish work by Xavi Simons for the goal Spurs have deserved. Good run then spotted Richarlison before putting it on a plate for Brazilian.

Really positive atmosphere in here - and you have not been able to say that very often this season.

Jay: What a fantastic job David Moyes has done at Everton. After the last few seasons of fighting relegation, a top 10 finish will be a great step in a new direction for the club.

Shades of Kompany

Man City 1-0 Sunderland

Shamoon Hafez

Football news reporter at Etihad Stadium

An early Christmas cracker from Ruben Dias, what a hit that is.

The game was meandering and it needed something special to break the deadlock, the defender provided it.

That goal has shades of Vincent Kompany to it.

GOAL - Newcastle 1-0 Burnley

Bruno Guimaraes

Straight from a corner!

How on earth did Bruno Guimaraes do that?

The Brazilian whips it in and it goes over everyone and falls into the back of the net.

Great skill by the Newcastle captain and his side lead.

Post

Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea

Liam Delap and Marcos Senesi are getting well-equipped with each other.

This time it's from a Chelsea corner and Delap is dragged over by Senesi and the striker can't continue.

He's dislocated his shoulder, apparently. Ouch.

GOAL - Man City 1-0 Sunderland

Ruben Dias (31 mins)

Pick that one out!

Sunderland have kept Manchester City at bay well so far, and they don't expect much by way of danger when the ball comes to Ruben Dias 30 yards out.

However the City centre back channels his inner Vincent Kompany with a thumping shot into the top corner. It may have taken a deflection off Dan Ballard, but the City fans will not care.

YELLOW CARD

Tottenham 1-0 Brentford

Spurs fans haven't had a lot to cheer about at home this season. But they're in fine voice after Richarlison's goal.

The goalscorer, by the way, has been hurt after being caught on the shin by Michael Kayode, who gets a yellow for that.

'Tottenham have been the better team'

Steph Houghton

Former Manchester City and England captain on Final Score

Tottenham have been the better team, they have started really well.

That was a fantastic ball in by Xavi Simons and it's a great finish from Richarlison.

Post

Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea

Liam Delap and Marcos Senesi are at it again.

The Chelsea striker tries to get in front of the Bournemouth man and gives him a hand to the face.

There's not really much in that but certainly one to watch.

GOAL - Tottenham 1-0 Brentford

Richarlison

How Spurs needed that!

It's a smart move as well, a ball is played down the wing into the path of Xavi Simons who does well to square it into the path of Richarlison.

Are Spurs heading for a rare home win in the league?
