I actually saw Cole Palmer said he got his celebration from Morgan Rogers, who originally did it at Middlesbrough.

Based off today's start, Simon Adingra is somewhere between Gabriel Obertan and Nathan Redmond on the 'if only he had a bit of end product' scale.

Adingra is the player here. Every time he gets the ball, the crowd pick up. It's just that final ball, he has got the pace and he had the beating of Konsa there.
Brighton 0-0 Aston Villa
Ah, almost an opening for Brighton as Simon Adingra has acres down the left.
Just steady yourself Simon! Nope, his cross is straight at Villa keeper Robin Olsen with Joao Pedro and Danny Welbeck queuing up in the middle.

The referee has just missed another one. I can't believe what I've just watched. Adingra has just pulled Bailey's shirt and the referee has just said "play on". Unai Emery is not happy with the referee.
Brighton 0-0 Aston Villa
No proper chances to report from the Amex Stadium. It's all got very niggly with a couple of late tackles in midfield.
I think the best word to describe this game is scrappy.
Chelsea 1-0 West Ham
And now Chelsea have a brilliant chance as Nicolas Jackson wriggles free to meet a corner, but his header is straight at the keeper.
Chelsea 1-0 West Ham
Almost an instance response from West Ham! Chelsea clear a corner but only as far as Jarrod Bowen who clatters an effort against the bar!
It's sparked into life this game, suddenly it's a great watch.
Cole Palmer (14 mins)

Chelsea chuck a cross into the middle, looking for Nicolas Jackson. A West Ham defender gets there first but doesn't get enough on their clearance and the ball falls to Cole Palmer in the box who smashes it into the net.
Boom! He just can't stop scoring that boy.

I always find it interesting that at set-pieces, Unai Emery sits down and Austin MacPhee stands up because he is in charge of set-pieces.
Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
Love it! You're not missing much from Chelsea v West Ham, by the way. It's started pretty slowly.

Brighton 0-0 Aston Villa
Brighton are currently playing the better football as Adam Webster heads a corner just over the bar.

Hey, let's not get carried away David. They haven't beaten Brighton yet...

Weird symmetry with last season for Villa. Beat Brighton last season to secure European football, beat them this season to secure the Champions League. Amazing progress in 18 months under Emery.

Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
Chance for Chelsea. They fool the West Ham defenders with a short free-kick but Nicolas Jackson's shot from a very tight angle is tipped behind by Alphonse Areola.
Brighton 0-0 Aston Villa
First proper chance today as Brighton midfielder Simon Adingra nabs the ball off John McGinn, easily beats the midfielder and then unleashes a crisp shot from range which is beaten away by Villa keeper Robin Olsen.
Good shot, good save.
Brighton 0-0 Aston Villa
Aston Villa are having the better of things, but almost have too much time in the final third and a chance fizzles out.
Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
Better from the visitors as Michail Antonio is tackled by Thiago Silva and West Ham win a corner.
They take it short and eventually lose the ball though.

Liverpool have lost just one of their last 29 home Premier League matches against Tottenham Hotspur (W19 D9), a 2-0 defeat in May 2011.
Tottenham Hotspur are looking to complete their first league double over Liverpool since the 2010-11 season, beating two different Reds managers that season (Roy Hodgson and Kenny Dalglish). Their last league double over the Reds beating the same manager twice was in Dalglish’s first spell in 1986-87.
Liverpool (3) v Tottenham (3) has provided six 90th-minute winners in the Premier League, the most of any fixture in the competition’s history. Indeed, both of the last two league meetings between the two sides have been won courtesy of a 90th-minute winner for the home team.
Liverpool have conceded the opening goal in 16 Premier League games this season; not since 2004-05 under Rafael Benítez (20) have they done so more in a single campaign. Indeed, the Reds have conceded the opener in four of their last five matches at Anfield in the competition – as many as their previous 22 beforehand.
This will be Liverpool’s 18th Sunday Premier League game this season, only playing more in a single campaign in 2012-13 (20). They’ve won nine of their 17 so far this term (D6 L2), only winning more in 2013-14 (11/15) and 2018-19 (10/13).
Liverpool have lost their last two home games in all competitions, as many as in their previous 57 combined. They’ve failed to score in both defeats, last losing three in a row without reply at Anfield in March 2021.
Tottenham haven’t lost any of their last six away Premier League games on a Sunday (W2 D4), with their last such defeat coming at Anfield against Liverpool in April 2023. Four of their five such games this term have been draws, but they did win their last such match at Aston Villa in March (4-0).
Liverpool have kept just one clean sheet in their last 14 Premier League matches, including none in their last eight since beating Nottingham Forest 1-0 in March. The Reds last went longer without a shutout within a single season in the league from October to December 2004 (9).
Liverpool’s Jürgen Klopp lost his first Premier League meeting with Spurs’ Ange Postecoglou earlier this season. The only manager to win consecutive Premier League games against Klopp is Brendan Rodgers with Leicester in 2021, while the last manager to beat him in his first two top-flight meetings was Louis van Gaal in 2009-10 with Bayern Munich when he was Borussia Dortmund manager.
Tottenham’s Son Heung-min has scored in each of his last four Premier League appearances against Liverpool, putting Spurs 1-0 up in the reverse fixture in September. The only player to score in five consecutive Premier League games against the Reds is Jamie Vardy (between 2016 and 2017)
