Loum Tchaouna (68 mins)
PICK THAT OUT!
Substitute Loum Tchaouna receives the ball about 35 yards out, turns and absolutely hammers one into the top corner.
That is sensational. He's almost hit in that knuckleball style.

Crystal Palace have had their tails up since pulling one back and in a flash they are level!
Bournemouth try desperately to scramble the ball away but Jean-Philippe Mateta stretches to make contact and trickles the ball over the line.

A ball is dropped over the top of the Brighton defence for Jacob Murphy. He controls and looks to lift it over Bart Verbruggen but he makes a right mess of it.
Crystal Palace 1-2 Bournemouth
Luke Chambers
Former Nottingham Forest defender on 5 Sports Extra
If that is not an indication for any young forward or striker who is having a difficult afternoon to just stay in the area, keep driving forward and keep sticking because Mateta has had a few missed opportunities this afternoon.
Crystal Palace 1-2 Bournemouth
Just before that goal Eddie Nketiah replaced Jeremy Pino for Crystal Palace.
Burnley 1-0 Leeds
A roll of the dice from Daniel Farke as Jack Harrison and Brenden Aaronson make way for Dan James and Lukas Nmecha.
Man City 2-0 Everton
Glenn Murray
Former Crystal Palace and Brighton striker on Final Score
I don't think Erling Haaland gets a great strike on the ball, but James Tarkowski is in front of Jordan Pickford and Pickford doesn't have enough time to react.
Man City 2-0 Everton
Sarah Mulkerrins
BBC Final Score reporter at the Etihad
When it rains, it pours... Again it is the Norwegian, Erling Haaland.
Man City 2-0 Everton
Pat Nevin
Former Chelsea winger on BBC Radio 5 Live at Etihad Stadium
The man is an absolute phenomenon.
Ten minutes ago he was walking about and looking fairly disinterested in the game. We'd hardly mentioned his name. He'd had one half chance in the first half and he hit the crossbar.
The ball has landed to him twice and never for a millisecond do you think it's going to end up anywhere but the goal.
He's had a header, then a left footed goal... Are you going to bet against a right foot and perfect hat-trick?
Brighton 1-0 Newcastle
Newcastle give the ball away cheaply again and Brighton break.
Maxim De Cuyper delivers with his left foot but Yasin Ayari can't get contact on the flick towards goal.
Sunderland 1-0 Wolves
Nice work by Wilson Isidor who brings the ball down with one touch before poking narrowly wide with the second. That's Sunderland's first chance of the second half and it has woken the home fans up. The Black Cats make their first change - Chemsdine Talbi is on for Bertrand Traore.
Jean Philippe-Mateta (66 mins)
Crystal Palace have one back!
Jean Philippe-Mateta is deemed to be onside after a review by VAR.
Can Crystal Palace mount a comeback?
Image source, Getty ImagesCrystal Palace 0-2 Bournemouth
Crystal Palace have the ball in the back of the net but it's flagged as offside.
VAR will have a look.

Premier League
The Premier League have released a statement to explain the earlier incident at Selhurst Park...
"After VAR review, the referee retained the original decision of yellow card to Senesi. Referee announcement: “After review, the original decision of yellow card to number 5 stands. The player is moving slightly wide and there is a covering defender.”"
Burnley 1-0 Leeds
Leeds have had 60% of the ball in this second half but just the one shot.
Burnley are doing extremely well to frustrate them.
Man City 2-0 Everton
Shamoon Hafez
Football news reporter at Etihad Stadium
"Haaland, Haaland, Haaland" is the chant from the Manchester City supporters.
Currently the best striker in the world?
Harry Kane might have something to say about hit the thumbs.
Sunderland 1-0 Wolves
One-way traffic. Wolves have Sunderland pinned inside their own half and there is an air of tension in the home areas of the Stadium of Light.
Image source, Getty ImagesErling Haaland (63 mins)
Two goals in five minutes completely turn this game around!
Erling Haaland is once again on hand to put Manchester City in control.
Savinho cuts the ball back and Haaland's right-footed shot finds the back of the net by way of a slight deflection off James Tarkowski.

Fulham have only won one of their last 14 Premier League games against Arsenal (D4 L9), a 2-1 victory in December 2023. Indeed, the Cottagers have conceded at least once in each of their last 20 against the Gunners in the competition.
After winning five successive league visits to Fulham from 2012-13 to 2022-23, Arsenal have since failed to win at Craven Cottage in both of the last two campaigns (D1 L1). The Gunners last failed to win more consecutive league visits to Fulham in April 1962 (6).
Arsenal have only lost one of their last 18 London derbies in the Premier League (W13 D4), a 0-1 home defeat to West Ham in February last season. Indeed, since the start of 2022-23, the Gunners have only lost one of their 18 away league matches against fellow London sides (W13 D4), although that was at Fulham in December 2023 (2-1).
Fulham have won both of their last two Premier League home games, last winning three in a row at Craven Cottage in December 2023. The Cottagers are looking to avoid defeat in each of their opening four home matches of a league season for the first time since 2011-12.
Since facing 22 shots against Manchester United on MD1, Arsenal have restricted their opponents to fewer than 10 shots in all six of their Premier League games. The last side to face fewer than 10 shots in more successive matches in the competition were Liverpool from April to August 2022 (9), while the Gunners themselves have never had a longer run on Opta’s records in the league (from 2003-04).
Fulham have lost both of their last two Premier League games, and could lose three in a row for the first time since December 2023. They have shipped three goals in both of those last two defeats, last conceding 3+ more times in a row in the competition in September 2020 (4) – a run that included a 0-3 home defeat to Arsenal.
Arsenal have had 14 counter attacking phases of play in the Premier League this season – the most of any side. Last season, the Gunners ranked 17th for this with just 47 in the whole campaign.
No side has had more different goalscorers (excl. own goals) in the Premier League this season than Arsenal (9, level with Brighton). Only twice before have the Gunners had 10 different players score within their opening eight matches of a Premier League season, doing so in 2009-10 (10 in 4th game) and 2018-19 (8th).
Fulham’s Alex Iwobi has made eight line-breaking passing into the opposition’s penalty area in the Premier League this season, with only Bruno Fernandes (9) making more. Iwobi has also created four chances via line-breaking passes in the division this term, with Fernandes again the only player to do so more (5).
Declan Rice has scored (1) or assisted (1) in both of Arsenal’s last two Premier League games; the midfielder has only had a hand in a goal in three successive appearances in the competition twice before, doing so in February/March 2024 and April/May 2024. Rice has six goal involvements (2 goals, 4 assists) in his last seven away London derbies in the Premier League.
