Southampton 0-1 West Ham
That was the chance! Aaron Wan-Bissaka gives the ball away in a poor place and Tyler Dibling cuts inside on his left inside the box and takes aim for the top corner but it's poorly executed and over the top.
Southampton 0-1 West Ham
These Southampton players look like they don't believe they'll score in these final minutes. A hugely tough job for Ivan Juric if he's to maintain their Premier League status for next season.

They've been unbelievable to stay in the game, Chelsea took their foot off the pedal.
Fulham to their credit punished Chelsea.

Former Watford striker on BBC Final Score
You need to hit rock-bottom in order to grow again. I don't think Manchester City have hit the rock-bottom yet. They are drawing matches and not losing all the time.
No-one knows the answer as to why Kevin de Bruyne is on the bench. There are lots of questions and until some of these questions are answered, they are going to be in a situation where this is going to be happening.
Southampton 0-1 West Ham
Seven minutes added on at the end as Southampton look to rescue a point in Ivan Juric's first game.
Southampton 0-1 West Ham
Southampton are looking threatening without really rocking the West Ham boat.
Paul Onuachu has another header at goal but it's wide of the far post. He's been a threat all game has the big striker.

It's so poor from Chelsea defensively. Levi Colwill doesn't even break into sprint and has no desire to get back. It is well played from Fulham. They've planned for this and he's got the goal.

World-class save from Bernd Leno.
I don't know how Christopher Nkunku is so free, Fulham switched off.
Leno to the rescue.

Fulham come from behind to beat their neighbours.
FT: Newcastle 3-0 Aston Villa
Newcastle were very, very good today.
A red card for Jhon Duran obviously had a big impact but Villa were very much second best throughout.

Pinball and Cole Palmer shoots high and wide.

Christopher Nkunku almost salvages a point for Chelsea! Cole Palmer picks him out and his flying volley is tipped around the post by Bernd Leno.

Rodrigo Muniz finds the bottom corner - what a great finish!
What an end to this game.

Fulham have not won here since 1979!
Nottingham Forest 1-0 Tottenham
Nottingham Forest are in third place. It's a fourth win on the spin in a brilliant display at the City Ground. What a season they are having. Dreamland.
Rodrigo Muniz (90+5 mins)
Scenes.
Rodrigo Muniz has surely won the game for Fulham right at the death. Chelsea leave gaps at the back and Sasa Lukic squares for Rodrigo Muniz, who takes a touch and then slots the ball in the bottom corner.
Nottingham Forest 1-0 Tottenham
It's a nightmare return to the City Ground for Djed Spence as he is shown a second booking and sent for an early bath. A really silly challenge when already on a yellow.
That might well be that for Spurs now.
Joelinton (90+1 mins)
That tops that off! Villa have been properly rubbish in the second half and when Amadou Onana plays a tired pass out from defence straight to Joelinton, the Brazilian strides on and curls into the top corner from about 18 yards out.

Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 12 Premier League home games against Leicester (W10 D2), since losing three in a row between 1997 and 2000.
Leicester have won just two of their last 12 Premier League games against Liverpool (D1 L9). They’ve had three runs of three consecutive defeats in this run (including a current one), but they’ve not lost four straight league games against the Reds since between 1987 and 1996.
Liverpool have won their last seven league games played on Boxing Day, the longest current run among any side in England’s top four tiers, and the Reds’ longest ever such run.
Leicester have won just one of their last 10 Boxing Day league games (D2 L7), with that coming in 2018-19 against eventual champions Manchester City.
Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 21 matches in all competitions (W18 D3). It’s their longest run without defeat since a streak of 25 between April and November 2021, and their longest within a single season since a run of 24 between January and May 1989.
Liverpool have conceded eight goals in their last three Premier League games, as many as they had in their first 13 under Arne Slot. However, the Reds have scored at least twice in each of their last nine league games, their longest such run since September-December 2021 (11).
Leicester lost 4-0 against Newcastle and 3-0 against Wolves in their last two Premier League games. They last lost three consecutive league games by a margin of 3+ goals back in November 1958.
No current Premier League player has been involved in more goals (6) or provided more assists (4) on Boxing Day than Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
Mohamed Salah has scored 99 goals in 141 home games in the Premier League (2 for Chelsea, 97 for Liverpool). If he scores, he will become the eighth player to score 100+ on home soil in the competition, and fourth-fastest, after Alan Shearer (91 apps), Thierry Henry (113), and Sergio Agüero (125).
Leicester striker Jamie Vardy has scored eight Premier League goals against Liverpool, with only Andrew Cole (11) and Harry Kane (9) netting more against the Reds in the competition. At the age of 37 years and 350 days, Vardy would also be the oldest player to score a Premier League goal against Liverpool with a goal in this game.
