Key events

GOAL! Liverpool 3-0 Bournemouth (Nunez 37)

Darwin Nunez ends his 14-game goalscoring drought for Liverpool … with a pearler from distance, cutting in from the right and sticking the ball in the far corner.

Leicester 0-1 Everton. … so having said that, Jamie Vardy lands awkwardly and hammers the turf in a mixture of pain and frustration. On come the medics. Happily, he’s soon back in the thick of the action. Lightning along with the torrential rain now. Memories of this Filbert Street classic …

Leicester 0-1 Everton. It’s raining quite a lot in the midlands. Otherwise, nothing much to report.

GOAL! Liverpool 2-0 Bournemouth (Diaz 28)

Two in as many minutes for Luis Diaz, who now has five Premier League goals in as many games this season.

GOAL! Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Brentford (Johnson 28)

Brennan Johnson shot wide moments earlier; he hits the target this time.

GOAL! Liverpool 1-0 Bournemouth (Diaz 26)

Luis Diaz is sent scampering clear by Ibrahima Konaté. He rounds Kepa to give the Reds the lead.

GOAL! Aston Villa 0-1 Wolves (Cunha 25)

Wolves have been on top for the most part, and they get their reward through Matheus Cunha.

GOAL! Fulham 2-0 Newcastle (Smith Rowe 22)

Emile Smith Rowe has already hit the woodwork; he’s now squeezed the ball past Nick Pope to double Fulham’s lead down by the Thames.

Leicester 0-1 Everton. “Delighted Everton have taken the lead,” writes Caelan Hagan. “Just praying we don’t score a second.” You’ll be pleased to hear Jesper Lindstrøm has just shot wide, then.

Liverpool 0-0 Bournemouth. Alexis Mac Allister half-volleys a peach of a pass down the middle of the park to release Mohamed Salah, whose shot from the edge of the box is turned around the post by Kepa.

Aston Villa 0-0 Wolves. Another tribute to Gary Shaw, as the Villa Park faithful applaud in the eighth minute to remember the local lad who wore the No8 shirt for the club he loved.

Fulham 1-0 Newcastle. The hosts are very much on top at the Cottage. Emile Smith Rowe rattles the frame of the goal. Newcastle, who have made their best start in the Premier League since the glory days of Kevin Keegan in 1995, need to get their gamefaces on and quick.

GOAL! Leicester 0-1 Everton (Ndiaye 12)

Iliman Ndiaye exchanges passes with Ashley Young before opening the scoring for rock-bottom Everton. A big relegation six-pointer this.

Scotland, then. “Only two games in the SPL today due to it being Scottish League Cup quarter final weekend, but let’s not go there,” begins Simon McMahon. “Who wants to win that anyway? Certainly not Dundee United, who will have to content themselves with a league and Scottish Cup double this season. Ross County v managerless St Johnstone and St Mirren v possibly soon to be managerless Hearts are the games. Think I’ll watch the cricket.”

GOAL! Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 Brentford (Solanke 8)

Dominic Solanke follows up James Maddison’s shot to notch his first goal for his new club. In other news, Bryan Mbeumo’s opener has been officially timed by Opta as 23 seconds, so there goes that symmetry. Killjoys.

GOAL! Fulham 1-0 Newcastle (Jimenez 5)

GOAL! Southampton 1-0 Ipswich (Dibling 5)

Tyler Dibling, full of promise at 18, scores his first Premier League goal. “He’s one of our own!” trill the St Mary’s faithful.

NO GOAL. Liverpool 0-0 Bournemouth

Ah no, an offside in the build-up. As you were.

GOAL! Liverpool 0-1 Bournemouth (Semenyo 4)

A dismal start for Alisson’s replacement Caoimhín Kelleher, as Antoine Semenyo opens the scoring at Anfield!

Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Brentford. Brentford have now scored after exactly 22 seconds in consecutive Premier League matches. A funny old game, as a former Spurs striker once noted.

GOAL! Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Brentford (Mbeumo 22 secs)

A goal straight from kick-off in N17! Keane Lewis-Potter crosses, Bryan Mbeumo volleys, Ange Postecoglou’s woes increase!

It’s Saturday 3pm! Whistles all across the land. Here we go, then.

FULL TIME: West Ham United 0-3 Chelsea. John Brewin was at the London Stadium to witness Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer give the hosts a good going-over. Here’s his report.

There’s also an early batch of results in from the Championship …

… and League One …

… and finally League Two.

That result means Chelsea go second, for a couple of hours at least. West Ham have lost their first three home matches of the season for the first time in their 129-year history.

FULL TIME: West Ham United 0-3 Chelsea. Julen Lopetegui hasn’t had much of a honeymoon period in his new job as Hammers coach, if at all. His team have been thoroughly outclassed by in-form Chelsea, who are in no way flattered by this scoreline. It could have been more. David Tindall lays out the details in minute-by-minute style as the hosts are booed off.

GARY SHAW (1961-2024). Aston Villa have already dedicated their win at Young Boys to the beloved star of the team that won the 1981 title, the 1982 European Cup and the 1982 Super Cup. Shaw has also been honoured at Villa Park today by another club legend.
