What drama on the south coast! Ake heads the ball into the net, but Wilson is judged to be in an offside and the goal is ruled out. But Bobby Madley talks to his linesman and gives the goal! Replays show that Wilson is obviously offside and not only interferes with play, but actually turns the ball into the net himself! West Ham’s players swarm around the referee, but the decision has been made!
Lingard has done it! His second of the afternoon! It’s a scrappy goal: a hopeful cross, half-baked clearances, the ball eventually dropping to Lingard on the penalty spot, and the Englishman despatches it with his laces, low into the bottom right hand corner. Can Manchester United go and get the winner?
West Ham are surely going to win this! Masuaku runs down the left, delivers a wonderful cross, met by Hernandez, saved by Begovic, but he can’t hold it and Arnautovic slides in to tackle it into the net!
87 min: Just a reminder that Phil Bardsley and co are keeping Manchester United at bay. The quality of the Manchester United crossing has been shocking.
85 min: Leicester really pushing for an equaliser at Watford, they don’t deserve to be behind.
Calamity for Begovic! I mentioned it was bucketed it down on the south coast, and after a simple back-pass, the Bournemouth keeper slips, meaning Arnautovic pounces on it and rolls the ball into the open net. Bournemouth should be out of sight, but they’ve lost their lead!
Late to this, but this is too good. It’s a peach of a goal from Paterson, who curls in a 25-yard goal into the top corner to give Bristol City the lead.

80 min: Burnley still holding on at Old Trafford: the first goalscorer Barnes has come off for Jonathan Walters.
79 min: Fulham have taken a 3-1 lead over Cardiff City. Derby County will replace the Welsh side in second in the Championship if they can find a winner at Hull City. Currently 0-0 there.
77 min: Bournemouth have had plenty of opportunities to kill off West Ham, but Adrian is keeping the Londoners in it – makes a good save from Ryan Fraser there.
74 min: It’s all Manchester United at Old Trafford. Pogba has just fired a free-kick over the bar. Nick Pope, the Burnley keeper, has just been booked for time-wasting. Squeaky-bum time.
72 min: Meanwhile at the Hawthorns … absolutely nothing happening. Big Sam seems to be playing for the draw there, which seems absurd with the talent he has at Everton.
70 min: Penalty shouts for both Huddersfield and Stoke! Neither given. First Mooy went down under a clumsy challenge from Allen, then Diouf hit the deck, but Anthony Taylor waves play on.
67 min: Not exactly Premier League action, but worth a mention: the fabulously named Nortei Nortey has scored for Dover against Maidstone United. It’s 2-1 to Maidstone in the Kent derby.
It’s all happening! Watford have turned it around, thanks to some pretty shocking keeping from Schmeichel. Cleverley swings a free kick deep into Leicester’s box. Doucoure just about retrieves the ball from the byline on the volley and hopefully helps it back into the area. Schmeichel gets his feet all wrong and can only palm the ball goalwards, the ball just trickling over the line!
He scored last week to become Stoke’s youngest Premier League scorer and he’s got another here: Sobhi sliding in at the back post. All square!
Ake is in the right place at the right time, as a Lewis Cook cross trickles across the box, with the Dutchman poking in from close range.
Marcos Alonso steals in at the near post to glance a Fabregas corner into the Brighton net. 2-0!
