    It looks like Riccardo Calafiori has passed the necessaries and will be fine to continue.

    James Garner tries to loop one in but David Raya catches with ease.

    Leeds 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Marc Guehi joins fellow Palace defender Maxence Lacroix in earning a first-half booking after preventing a Leeds counter-attack from developing.

    It's been a frustrating half for the visitors, no doubt about that.

    Riccardo Calafiori goes up for the ball with Tim Iroegbunam and he lands heavily, hitting his head on the turf as he does so.

    Play has to be stopped for obvious reasons but the Everton fans aren't happy about it, they felt they were building something.

    I felt Palace were the better side in the earlier stages but looking at the stats, just one shot on target. They've hardly tested Perri in the Leeds goal. That's been the difference, Leeds have asked questions.

  5. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:46 GMT 20 December 2025

    Leeds 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Maxence Lacroix is the first player to go into the referee's book after a late challenge on Leeds goalscorer Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

    The hosts are going after a second before the interval, and Pascal Struijk drives a shot wide before four minutes of added time are announced to the crowd.

    Viktor Gyokeres wriggles free and bares down on goal but James Tarkowski does enough to put the Swedish striker off and his effort blasts over the bar.

    Leeds 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Dominic Calvert-Lewin becomes just the fourth Leeds player to score in five consecutive Premier League appearances.

    Mark Viduka was the last to achieve that - 22 years ago!

    Are you watching, Thomas Tuchel?

    Not a single shot this half for Everton so far.

    Four for Arsenal with one on target.

    Alan Smith

    It's been hard work for those attacking Everton players. They've been chasing around to get a touch of the ball, never mind a threatening one.

    Lee Hendrie
    Former Aston Villa midfielder on Sky Sports

    Calvert-Lewin has been in flying form. Obviously the flick from Richards just disrupts everything defensively for Palace. Credit to Calvert-Lewin though, he reacts instinctively to make it five in five. Absolutely brilliant.

  11. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:38 GMT 20 December 2025

    Everton 0-1 Arsenal

    The game has settled back into a familiar pattern.

    Everton enjoy a bit of possession, Arsenal enjoy a bit of possession. No real chances created.

    James Tarkowksi finds himself in the book for catching Viktor Gyokeres.

    GOAL - Leeds 1-0 Crystal Palacepublished at 20:38 GMT 20 December 2025

    Dominic Calvert-Lewin (38 mins)

    It's five in a row for Dominic Calvert-Lewin!

    Dean Henderson produces a superb reaction save to deny the Leeds striker initially, following a long throw into the box, but Calvert-Lewin makes no mistakes on the rebound.

    You have to say it's very much deserved.

    Palace's away form has been fantastic. You put that down to how compact and defensively brilliant they are. We can see how capable they are of causing teams problems with Mateta driving them forward.

  14. VAR

    Video Assistant Referee - no penaltypublished at 20:37 GMT 20 December 2025

    Leeds 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Tyrick Mitchell appears to slip just as he goes to tackle Brenden Aaronson, which certainly doesn't help. It's messy, clumsy even - but Mitchell has been given the benefit of the doubt here.

    That one could have gone either way.

    I want to know why the ref didn't give a penalty on the pitch. Referees these days are becoming more incompetent because they can fall back on VAR.

    A lovely slick move from one end to the other by Leeds - and the home side want a penalty!

    Brenden Aaronson weaves into the penalty area and is wiped out by Tyrick Mitchell.

    Did the Crystal Palace defender get the ball? VAR is taking a look as play continues...

    Since the start of his first season with Sporting (2023-24), Viktor Gyokeres has converted all 19 penalties he has taken in league competition (17/17 in the Primeira Liga and 2/2 in the Premier League).

    Target man.

    The Man City win earlier makes this game even bigger for Leeds this evening. A win gives them that bit of extra breathing space.

    Great tenacity from Will Hughes, working hard for his team in the centre of the pitch and holding off two opponents to win a free-kick as Crystal Palace seek to impose themselves at Elland Road. It's a right tussle out there at the moment.

    Wouldn't like to be standing next to David Moyes right now - certainly not if I was Jake O'Brien. Why does the giant defender need to have his hands above his head there?Everton had made a really decent start but a moment of stupidity has gifted Arsenal the lead.
