Chelsea v Bournemouth, Sunderland v Brighton, and more: football – live

Thank you for joining me for the chaos of four Premier League games being players simulataneously. There were some massive results with Chelsea beating Bournemouth 5-1 and Brighton overcoming Sunderland 2-0 despite being a man down. You can catch up with all of the action across those in the reports below. Enjoy the rest of the weekend’s matches.

Some Championship news:

Earlier today the Premier League defending champions Arsenal came from behind to defeat Leeds, have a read of the report:

That was a crazy amount of action but the English top-flight is dishing out more with Manchester United hosting Tottenham in the final Premier League game of the day. You can catch up with that one, which kicks off at 5.30pm BST, here:

So what does the relegation zone look like after those absolute goal fests? Tottenham remain bottom with their match against Manchester United coming up in half an hour. Fulham’s loss means they remain firmly in the danger zone with Coventry just above them. But Bournemouth are by no means feeling safe, if Fulham had seen out their result Bournemouth would have been in the red. A lot of tension down at the bottom with only three points separating 20th and 12th.

A great match to watch if you are a neutral, brilliant chances with only four sticking to see the sides share the points.

A huge result for Brighton especially with that red card. They are just two points off of the top of the table, could they be an unlikely title winner this season?

Despite a red card for Stuijk Brighton have come away with the points and remain third in the table. Two second half goals for the Seagulls.

Aston Villa 2-2 Brentford, 90 + 4 min: Well both are pushing for a winner, what an amazing game this is at Villa Park. Two minutes of injury time to go.

Fulham completely lost control of the game and poor management sees their first three points up in smoke. A great comeback for Ipswich, who have had a brilliant start to the season.

A huge result for Xabi Alonso’s Chelsea. A brilliant performance by Jordan Henderson but an honourable mention must go to Cole Palmer who was the spark at the start of the game to make this all happen.

A player down but no problem. A beautiful strike sees Brighton’s squad clamber on Hadjam who scored.

O’Shea heads home to send the supporters into wild celebrations but that is dire from Fulham. Minutes away from their first win and now they are looking at a loss.

Fulham have let this go completely.

Well, Fulham were minutes from their first win but Ipswich have struck. The newly promoted side are having quite the season.

That’s a hit for Fulham’s season.

Sunderland 0-1 Brighton, 84 min: Somehow Brighton are holding on at the Stadium of Light. As things stand the Seagulls are just two points off of Manchester City and Arsenal at the top of the table.

This game doesn’t seem to want a winner, Brentford hit right back. It’s tricky for Suzuki as there is a deflection but the goal is awarded to Ajer.

Chelsea 5-1 Bournemouth, 81 min: Bournemouth are pushing and Evanilson pops the ball into the area but Martinez plucks it from the air to dispel any danger.

Villa have been pushing and it is wonderman McGinn. The stands are in full voice, the club look like they have a comeback win on their hands.

Is that the winner?

Chelsea 5-1 Bournemouth, 78 min: Bournemouth have a corner as they look to claw back some goal difference. With the score as it is the club sit in 18th. It comes in but it’s dealt with quite easily.

Ipswich Town 0-1 Fulham, 78 min: Maeda went down in the box and it took a VAR check to make sure it wasn’t a penalty and that is the decision they came to.

Aston Villa 1-1 Brentford, 72 min: Well the score looks like the game may have been slightly boring but is has been anything but. Some great chances for both sides but the clinical edge is just missing so far.

Chelsea 5-1 Bournemouth, 74 min: Ten minutes ago we were questioning whether Bournemouth could be the winning side or at least claw back a draw and now Chelsea have taken it away from them. A great response to the momentum swing at Stamford Bridge.

Sunderland 0-1 Brighton, 72 min: Xhaka has hit the woddwork twice and the hosts push for an equaliser. No joy as of yet but how long can Brighton hold on?

Jordan Henderson is loving life in a blue shirt, an amazing performance by the England international today. His second goal of the afternoon.

Palmer makes a good run but Silva fouls him and Chelsea have a free kick. Henderson takes it and it is an absolute beauty.

Chelsea 4-1 Bournemouth, 68 min: Bournemouth will be hugely frustrated, they had all of the momentum but had nothing to show for it and with a blink of an eye the Blues make it a three goal cushion again.

Chelsea have been clinical when they have had the ball and they are again with Pedro in a great position. He goes off on a run and smashes it home. Bournemouth in the rear view now.

Ipswich Town 0-1 Fulham, 67 min: Fulham did have another chance shortly after their goal but couldn’t make it stick, the hosts struggling at the moment.

Sunderland 0-1 Brighton, 65 min: It was Wilson Isidor who was fouled which caused the red card for Brighton. Despite being a player up, Sunderland are yet to make it count.

Aston Villa 1-1 Brentford, 60 min: Suzuki makes a great save to keep the game as a draw for now but Brentford have some momentum.

Chelsea 3-1 Bournemouth, 62 min: Gannon-Doak has been a bright spark and he crosses an effort to Evanilson but he can’t quite get to it. This would be quite the comeback if they can pull it off.

Chelsea 3-1 Bournemouth, 60 min: The visitors are in the ascendency here despite being two goals down, the momentum is firmly theirs.

Well, well, well. He took down a Sunderland player as the last person between him and the goal. The referee did not see it as even a free kick but VAR has ruled it a red card. Drama.

Chelsea 3-1 Bournemouth, 56 min: Caicedo is clutching his head as a high boot comes in but it seems like it didn’t actually touch him. Of course VAR will look at it but a card seems unlikely. And there isn’t one.

Gary Naylor has got in touch about Chelsea’s defence:

I know it’s an oversimplification in these data-driven days, but I still think a manager’s job is largely to coach the defence and inspire the attack. If Xabi Alonso can work out how to make Chelsea’s defence tighter, they might yet push Arsenal all the way.

Fulham were in the relegation zone before this match but if it stays as it is they will go to 14th, a huge moment for the London club.

That is an important goal for Fulham.

An easy tap in for the visitors.

Tony Hughes on Bournemouth’s early sub:

BG-D is quick and twisty in a Pat Nevin sort of way. However, unlike Nevin, Gannon-Doak has no end product. Occasional cameos for Bournemouth aren’t helping him either. He needs regular minutes on the field, plus specific coaching on improving his decision making.

I’d love him to be a success in the Premier League and for Scotland, but he hasn’t kicked on since we first saw him as a 17 year old. His next stop will be in the Championship.

It was a great goal for Bournemouth, it’s very scrambly in the box and Evanilson is there to hit it home. Another game without a clean sheet for Chelsea and Martinez.

Now they may be back in this.

Ipswich Town 0-0 Fulham, 52 min: Bassey has been given a yellow card for fouling Emersonn as that clash heats up.

Chelsea 3-0 Bournemouth, 50 min: The most brutal start to the second half for Bournemouth, can they get anything back from this? It looks unlikely but it is their own fault. Completely unprepared at the start of both halves.

Dean has got in touch and has had quite the lunch:

Just finished off last night’s leak, potatoes, broccoli and lentil spicy soup with homemade cheesy soda bread. Yum yum. Also...can’t imagine too many had Henderson as their fantasy captain.

This sounds so good, I might have to research the recipe. I also do doubt that as well but did anyone have him in their FPL? Get in touch.
