FULL-TIME: Aston Villa 1-1 Fulham
At the end of the day it's all square for those inside Villa Park. The hosts will feel hard done by after an initially solid defensive performance undone by an own goal from Suzuki. Fulham, meanwhile, will likely take the point after failing to impress.

We're into five additional minutes of stoppage time. Will there be a late winner?
2026-10-31T21:48:08Z
Crowd is starting to get rowdy here. Things really died down in the second half after was what a back and forth affair in the first.
2026-10-31T21:38:24Z
Ugh oh.
2026-10-31T21:37:55Z
More sights from inside the grounds.
2026-10-31T21:37:33Z
We're into the final 15 minutes now, it's still largely anyone's game.
2026-10-31T21:29:35Z
It's officially gone down as a Suzuki own goal.
2026-10-31T21:27:24Z
GOAL! Aston Villa 1-1 Fulham
Following a corner (well, Olimpico now), Suzuki drops his attempted catch and it manages to cross the line mid-air. Equalizer confirmed.

CHAOS!
Suzuki to the rescue again as he denies a bullet header from Alex Iwobi, but then seconds later the ball is in the net.
2026-10-31T21:25:01Z
Scenes from the grounds.
2026-10-31T21:19:23Z
The stats are proving Fulham's increase in intensity. We're eight shots to seven now, courtesy of Villa.
2026-10-31T21:13:49Z
The visitors are the ones moving the ball around quite swiftly, while the hosts sit back. Any complacency has been addressed at half time, it appears.
2026-10-31T21:08:45Z
SECOND HALF UNDERWAY
We're back for the final half of action on this dramatic Premier League Saturday.

2026-10-31T20:57:30Z
The stats so far from the first 45 minutes of football at Villa Park.
2026-10-31T20:55:26Z
A little journalistic insight on the form of Nicolas Jackson.
2026-10-31T20:53:24Z
HALF-TIME
Plenty left to play for here, neither side too convincing or too far behind. Who will come out on top? Let us know in the comments below.
2026-10-31T20:47:27Z
We're into four minutes of stoppage time in the first half.
2026-10-31T20:47:07Z
CHANCE!
That could have been an equalizer from Josh King, but it's Suzuki who again rises to the occasion with a big spot from close range.
2026-10-31T20:42:03Z

GOAL! Aston 1-0 Fulham
There's no denying this one. Nicolas Jackson is on the left and cuts inside the box before evading not one but two defenders to bury it in the bottom-right corner.
2026-10-31T20:41:03Z
We spoke too soon!
2026-10-31T20:40:32Z
Garcia trying to keep Suzuki on his toes again. Not much going on here, however.
2026-10-31T20:35:05Z
Admin even had their say!
2026-10-31T20:34:40Z
Fulham strike on the break and the ball moves down the left win via Robinson.
His cross is meant for Gonzalo Garcia, but he leaves it for Oscar Bobb and Zion Suzuki denies him with a big strong hand to send it over the bar.

2026-10-31T20:33:21Z
Huge chance wasted here...
2026-10-31T20:25:33Z
Since the missed effort it's still been all Villa. They currently have five shots to Fulham's one after about 25 minutes played.
2026-10-31T20:20:27Z
It's Halloween. Will that come back to haunt them?
2026-10-31T20:18:52Z
That was the first penalty for Villa in the Premier League since April 2025 and they missed the opportunity.
2026-10-31T20:18:03Z
PENALTY MISS!
John McGinn takes on the responsibility of scoring from the spot, and instead of finding the back of the net, he went with height and power, ultimately hitting the bar.

2026-10-31T20:16:28Z
VAR gets involved, and the hosts are awarded a penalty. After review, Sander Berge commits a handball when rising to block a header.
2026-10-31T20:13:26Z
A little bit of history for Fulham's Alex Iwobi tonight.
2026-10-31T20:08:38Z
Home fans want a penalty here after Antonee Robinson takes down Alysson, but all square according to the referee.
2026-10-31T20:03:51Z
KICK OFF!
It's a full Villa Park late on Saturday as Aston Villa host Fulham. Buckle up.
2026-10-31T20:03:30Z
And we're back for the final game of the day...
2026-10-31T19:27:43Z

FULL TIME: Spurs 2-0 Palace
Three wins in a row for Spurs for the first time since February 2025 as the north Londoners down Palace, who remain inside the relegation zone.
2026-10-31T19:16:49Z
A scrappy finish from van Hecke.
2026-10-31T19:15:28Z
GOAL DISALLOWED
Oooh, Kudus thinks he notched a third as he pokes past Henderson, but the flag goes up quickly and that one is chalked off.
2026-10-31T19:12:29Z
The teams for the final Premier League game of the day are in as Aston Villa host Fulham.
2026-10-31T19:08:17Z
Goal machine.
2026-10-31T19:03:24Z
GOAL: Tottenham 2-0 Palace
That will probably wrap up the win for Spurs as Jan Paul van Hecke is well placed to header in from Fernandes' deep cross.

2026-10-31T18:58:11Z
More chances for Tottenham. Tel's low drive has Henderson scrambling before it inches wide and Marmoush lashes over the bar with a decent header.
2026-10-31T18:53:15Z
CHANCE PALACE
Wow, Palace suddenly break into Spurs' half and Kamada's pass finds Dwight McNeil, whose side-footed volley is blocked. Can't see Palace getting too many more openings here.
2026-10-31T18:46:18Z
CHANCE SPURS
Is it just a matter of time before Tottenham get a second? Fernandes has another strike towards goal, but that goal-bound effort is blocked by the Palace defence. Van Hecke also has a go and shoots well over the bar.

2026-10-31T18:40:55Z
CHANCE SPURS
Porro finds Solanke inside the Palace area and the striker turns and shoots towards goal but Henderson makes a strong save.
2026-10-31T18:39:18Z
Mateus Fernandes has a couple of early sighters early in the second half. One is blocked and the other flies harmlessly over Dean Henderson's crossbar.
2026-10-31T18:34:18Z
SECOND HALF
The second half begins at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
2026-10-31T18:28:56Z
Palace struggling for any attacking intent without 11 men, it would seem.
2026-10-31T18:18:28Z
HALF TIME: Spurs 1-0 Palace
Tottenham lead through Archie Gray's header following Mateta's earlier sending off for Crystal Palace.

2026-10-31T18:12:13Z
Andy Robertson has a go from distance and that's saved comfortably by Henderson.
2026-10-31T18:10:49Z
Spurs continue to push for a second and Tonali's cutback is gathered by Dean Henderson. Palace try to launch a quick counter-attack through Yeremy Pino, but van de Ven gets across quickly to snub out the danger.
2026-10-31T18:08:15Z
Gray doesn't score many, but he knows how to find the net against Palace.
2026-10-31T18:00:06Z
Horror show for some in the Premier League today...
2026-10-31T17:56:17Z
GOAL: Tottenham 1-0 Palace
Tottenham open the scoring through Archie Gray's well-timed header from a Mohammed Kudus corner.

2026-10-31T17:52:28Z
Here's a closer look at that Mateta tackle that led to the red card.
2026-10-31T17:51:12Z
As expected, Spurs have dominated possession since the red card and have pushed Palace back inside their own half, but the hosts have created little of note.
2026-10-31T17:44:45Z
RED CARD
He's off! Mateta is off down the tunnel for that bad challenge after just 13 minutes.
2026-10-31T17:44:03Z
RED CARD CHECK
Mateta has clipped van de Ven with an aggressive tackle and Michael Oliver is heading to the screen..
2026-10-31T17:41:33Z
CHANCE PALACE
Daichi Kamada receives the ball on the edge of the area and fires towards the top corner. Kinsky is alert and keeps that one out.

HALF TIME - Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd
We're all square at the break in west London and it's actually the hosts who look to be struggling more than United on the evidence of the opening 45. Still, it's not been great overall

2026-10-31T13:07:36Z
NO GOAL! Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd
