Burnley v Arsenal, Tottenham v Wolves, and more: football clockwatch – live | Premier League

Nottingham Forest are now looking very good value to see this out. West Ham were poor with 11 men, so you suspect the hosts could even add to their 1-0 lead in the final moments playing against 10.

GOAL! Burnley 0-5 Arsenal (Havertz, 78)

RED CARD! West Ham (Phillips, 71)

League Two: Salford have been up, then down, and they’re now up again, leading Barrow 3-2.

League One: Bolton hit back to make it 3-3 against Charlton, while Cheltenham v Port Vale is now two goals apiece.

There are so many goals flying in down the leagues … I’ll try to summarise soon.

There’s important news in Germany, however, as Bayer Leverkusen see out a 2-1 win over Heidenheim, after being given a late scare by a Kleindienst goal. They’re now EIGHT points clear of Harold Kane’s Bavaria Munich.

GOAL! Newcastle 1-2 Bournemouth (Semenyo, 69)

Arsenal fans are emailing me in droves, clearly very satisfied with what they’re seeing this afternoon.

Charles Antaki says:

I think I now understand Kai Havertz’s true purpose in the Arsenal team. He gets himself into a decent position to have a go at goal, completely fluffs it, and the ball somehow manages to go to a teammate in an even better position, who then calmly sticks it away. Invaluable.

GOAL! Fulham 1-2 Aston Villa (Muniz, 63)

League One: Bolton v Charlton has turned into an absolute sizzler, with the visitors taking a 3-2 lead after 61 minutes via Daniel Kanu. Plenty of time remaining for more goals.

GOAL! Burnley 0-4 Arsenal (Trossard, 66)

GOAL! Tottenham 1-2 Wolves (Gomes, 63)

Stockport are done. Tranmere are 3-0 up now! Portsmouth are also 3-0 up on Reading in League One.

In the Championship, Jordan James has equalised for Tony Mowbray’s side in the Tony Mowbray derby.

GOAL! Fulham 0-2 Aston Villa (Watkins, 56)

Championship: Three goals for Norwich now and two for Sargent. A good adjustment from him to smack home a rebound, with out-of-sorts Cardiff looking a bit ragged.

GOAL! Newcastle 1-1 Bournemouth (Gordon, 58)

Another long old VAR check for a penalty, this time at Newcastle, with a pull-back on a shirt from Bournemouth’s Adam Smith prompting some (slow) Stockley Park consternation. Looks like it’s being given!

We have a winner amid our search for the most 1930s footballer and the suggestion comes from Adam Griffiths:

Flt Lt Teddy Jenks, currently on loan at Ross County from Brighton/the 1930s RAF.

Bang on, Adam.

League One: Portsmouth look very safe at the summit and will surely stay there for a good while … they’re 2-0 up at home to Reading after Marlon Pack’s goal.

Stockport have no such safety atop League Two, trailing Tranmere 2-0 now on the Wirral. And second place Mansfield have just levelled straight away at Walsall.

GOAL! Newcastle 0-1 Bournemouth (Solanke, 51)

League Two: Is Salford’s promising run under Karl Robinson about to end? They’ve blown a 1-0 lead at home to Barrow to trail 2-1. And Mansfield might have scored nine goals the other night, but they’re 1-0 down at Walsall.

An email from Scott Blair on interwar footballers:

I reckon Celtic’s Cameron Carter-Vickers sounds like a chisel-jawed upper crust spy of the period. A bit like Lord Peter Flint, out of the Warlord comic. Now there’s a reference for the teenagers.

I’m afraid I don’t get that reference, Scott, and I’m 30.

GOAL! Tottenham 1-1 Wolves (Kulusevski, 46)

GOAL! Burnley 0-3 Arsenal (Saka, 47)

Second half: Right, enough nonsense (for now), most of the second halves are getting under way.

Can Tottenham haul themselves out of trouble against Wolves? Can Burnley offer anything to stop Arsenal? And can West Ham offer anything whatsoever?

Some final scores from Europe:

Atletico Madrid thrashed Las Palmas 5-0 to go third in La Liga, while Napoli have been held 1-1 by Genoa as their stuttering season continues.

Leverkusen still lead 1-0 at Heidenheim through Jeremie Frimpong’s goal as they look to stretch their lead atop the Bundesliga.

I’m having Tommy Smith (any of them) as a 1930s footballer, and pretty sure Cedric Soares should count if you butcher the pronounciation of his surname.

1930s footballers:

Championship: I won’t run through every single scoreline, but the headline is surely Middlesbrough’s 2-0 half-time lead at Leicester, which absolutely nobody saw coming. A spanner in the Foxes’ works, or a mere 45-minute blip? We’ll wait to see.

Sheffield Wednesday fans are enjoying themselves at Millwall, their side 2-0 up, while Ipswich’s form shows little sign of relenting as they lead 2-1 at Swansea. Preston 2-2 Blackburn has been a cracker thus far.

There’s been much to enjoy in the second tier as per.

Scottish Premiership: With Warnock’s Aberdeen still locked at 1-1 with Hibernian, Celtic, Dundee and Livingston all have 1-0 leads, while it’s goalless between Hearts and Motherwell.

HT scores – Premier League

Championship: Preston have scored two goals in a matter of minutes to get level against Blackburn before the interval! Robbie Brady and Emil Riis help North End go bang, bang and that Lancashire derby is sizzling right now.

Now Norwich have turned the tables on Cardiff City. A free-kick from Gabriel Sara makes it 2-1 at Carrow Road.

GOAL! Tottenham 0-1 Wolves (Gomes, 42)

Championship: Norwich are level just before half-time at home to Cardiff, Sheffield Wednesday have doubled their lead at a miserable Millwall, while QPR have scored at Bristol City through Ilias Chair.

“1930s footballers, I’ll start”, says Paul Bellsham of this parish: “Oliver George Arthur Watkins.”

William Harris offers: “Harry Winks, music hall comedian.”

GOAL! Burnley 0-2 Arsenal (Saka, 41 pen)

Some rather worrying news from north of the border this afternoon …

2-0 to Middlesbrough at the King Power! Samuel Silvera doubles the visitors’ lead and this is a surprising scoreline to say the very least.

Talking of 1930s characters in Swansea v Ipswich, a man named Chaplin has just restored the Tractor Boys’ lead, 2-1 now.

Which footballer do you think sounds like they belong in the interwar period? Sorry if that’s too niche.

Northampton, playing against Bristol Rovers in League One, are the only home side in the top three leagues in England who are actually in the lead.

In Scotland, Celtic have just broken the deadlock against their bogey team Kilmarnock, as Kyogo scores.

Championship: Jerry Yates sounds like a character from a 1930s detective drama to me, but apparently he’s also a Swansea forward – and has just scored to level things up against Ipswich.

Sheffield Wednesday are in front at Millwall through Ike Ugbo. How the Owls would love three points today to help their survival bid.
