  1. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:47 GMT 28 December 2021

    Watford 1-2 West Ham

    Watford came charging out of the blocks, but West Ham stayed calm and turned the game. They look good for their 2-1 lead.

    Southampton 1-1 Tottenham

    Average position graphicImage source, .

    Now this is a graphic that will soon dramatically change.

    You can see the average position of players on the pitch here with Southampton players (black) pushed up high, adopting a high line, while Spurs were content to sit in a little.

    That pressure and harassment of players saw Southampton concede 12 fouls by the time Mohammed Salisu was sent off. Spurs conceded just two in the same time period.

    Salisu, now back in the changing room after picking up two yellows in 12 minutes, was the game's worst offender on four fouls.

    Southampton 1-1 Tottenham

    It's a feisty game now. Romain Perraud and Dele Alli briefly square up after the latter charges in to block a cross from the former.

    Crystal Palace 3-0 Norwich

    Jacob Sorensen could have equalised for Norwich 22 seconds before Jean-Philippe Mateta scored Palace's second.

    Dean Smith's side now find themselves 3-0 down as we enter first-half stoppage time. Five minutes added on.

    Watford 1-2 West Ham

    Juan Hernandez tries to make something happen for the Hornets, but after winning the ball he fires an angled shot wide from the edge of the box.

    Watford 1-2 West Ham

    West Ham have looked very comfortable since turning this game their way. They look far more likely to extend their lead than Watford do of finding an equaliser.

    Southampton 1-1 Tottenham

    Saints fans are now chanting 'off, off, off' at the referee. They want Sergio Reguilon to follow Mohammed Salisu down the tunnel after a coming together with Shane Long that has left the home player down holding his head.

    There's no card from Anthony Taylor. VAR will have a look of course.

    To me, it just looked like an accidental clash.

    Jeffrey Schlupp

    Game over?

    Not for the first time this afternoon, Norwich lose possession in a dangerous area on the edge of their own box. Odsonne Edouard picks the ball up and tries to beat Sam Byram, whose faint touch steers the ball right into the path of Jeffrey Schlupp, who arrows an unstoppable effort past Angus Gunn from a tight angle.

    The Canaries have a mountain to climb.

    Never were there two more nailed on Premier League teams for relegation than Watford and Norwich. Pretty poor standard. Watford should cash in on Dennis in January whilst he's in the form of his life. The money would cushion relegation.

    Ranieri will go down in football legend for his achievement at Leicester but given how that ended, then Fulham, was he really the best candidate for Watford? This'll be 8 defeats in 10 games if I'm not mistaken

    No mistake! Harry Kane lashes the spot-kick into the top corner.

    Tottenham with a huge chance now to turn this game their way.

  11. RED CARDpublished at 15:40 GMT 28 December 2021

    Southampton 1-0 Tottenham

    Salisu's offence sees him get a second yellow, followed by a red.

    A real game changer.

  12. PENALTY TO SPURSpublished at 15:39 GMT 28 December 2021

    Southampton 1-0 Tottenham

    Penalty all day long!

    Son Heung-min is clattered by Mohammed Salisu in the box.

    And the Saints defender has worse to come...

    Jean-Philippe Mateta

    Palace double their lead - moments after Jacob Sorensen missed a gilt-edged chance for Norwich at the other end!

    The 23-year-old is left completely unmarked at the far post but fails to make proper contact with the cross and Palace break forward. Odsonne Edouard races down the left before picking out Jean-Philippe Mateta, who steers the ball into the far corner.

    Lovely finish.

    Watford 1-2 West Ham

    West Ham scored twice in 1 minute and 49 seconds this afternoon. However, that is only the third least amount of time in which a side has scored twice in the Premier League this season.

    Watford themselves (1:29) and Everton (1:35) have both scored two goals faster this top-flight campaign.

    Crystal Palace 1-0 Norwich

    Ironic applause for Paul Tierney as he marches back on to the Selhurst Park pitch.

    That break was six and a half minutes long.

    Southampton 1-0 Tottenham

    Tottenham's first real chance to attack at pace sees Son Heung-min found in the middle of the pitch, with space in front of him.

    Saints defenders get back to stop him advancing before the forward fires a shot straight at Fraser Forster.

    Crystal Palace 1-0 Norwich

    There's a break in play at Selhurst Park as referee Paul Tierney's microphone appears to have stopped working.

    Delia Smith looks less than impressed in the crowd.

    Watford 1-2 West Ham

    Watford look shellshocked now. West Ham's quickfire double has been a real hammer blow. See what I did there?

  20. Star man...published at 15:32 GMT 28 December 2021

    Southampton 1-0 Tottenham

    Not only has the lad Ward-Prowse found the net, so far he has won all three of his duels and his mark of 85.7% is the best for pass completion in the Southampton side.

    His strike was a bit tidy too.
