John Brewin
Accidents will happen. They also have consequences. Leeds were playing well, certainly better than Bournemouth for the first 30 minutes until James Trafford committed a grievous error. The goalkeeper made a horrible mess of a pass to an unwitting Ao Tanaka. In stole Justin Kluivert to set up Evanilson for a fifth goal in six matches. Where Leeds’ confidence sagged, Evanilson continued to find the best form of his time on the south coast.
The Brazilian was full of tricks, flicks and intelligent movement until he was subbed off. Thursday’s Prague assignment in the Europa League was being kept in mind. The continued rise of Bournemouth, celebrating a sixth successive win, is testament to changing times, a model club playing thoroughly modern football.

Nice moment for Lewis Dunk there on Sky Sports. The Brighton captain missed the penalty in midweek that saw City go through, now he gets a clean sheet to earn three points. He’s full of praise for bos Fabian Hurzeler, who Dunk says will go on to manage at the very top.

Poor Nottingham Forest. And, especially, poor Nikola Milenkovic. It would be unfair to say that Brentford fluked a win in the 100th Premier League game at the Getch Community Stadium but Forest had 15 shots to their six and have every right to wonder why luck has deserted them so absolutely this season. Only one of Brentford’s goals went down as an own-goal, but both went in after hefty deflections off Milenkovic. A sixth successive defeat for Forest in games played on Hallowe’en must have them wondering about curses and an inexplicable run of misfortune.

Manchester City have lost two consecutive league games but no alarm should be sounded. Enzo Maresca’s fast-passing unit that were defeated on Saturday because Yasin Ayari took one of Brighton’s rare chances, the 11th-minute winner deriving from what appeared a wrongly awarded free-kick for Elliot Anderson’s “foul” on the same player.
Fabian Hürzeler’s team can be proud of victory here – and of being third. They are worth the lofty position and who would bet against Champions League qualification for them?

ShareGoal! Hull 2-2 Ipswich (Enciso 74)
That is classic Enciso, this boy loves a hit and this one from the edge of the box is arrowed into the corner and still rising as it hits the net. It was dogged work from the Ipswich man to keep it alive in the buildup.

Brentford 1-0 Nottingham Forest
I mentioned Forest’s odd form pre-match. The Bees still lead this one, but neither side has had a shot on target.
Having had a second goal disallowed before half-time Southampton now have their 2-0 lead against QPR, Cameron Bragg has got it.
A fitba update from Simon McMahon (thanks, Simon): “Only two Scottish Premiership games today because of the League Cup semis this weekend. Kilmarnock currently lead 10-man St. Johnstone 2-1, while Motherwell v St Mirren is goalless. The first of those League Cup semi finals is a team time kick-off and features Rangers v crisis club one Aberdeen, whose fans have never really taken to manager Stephen Robinson. An Edinburgh derby tomorrow between Hearts and crisis club two Hibs will decide the other finalist.”
ShareGoal! Coventry 3-0 Sunderland (Rudoni 52)
A huge slice of fortune in this but the Sky Blues are pulling away. It’s lovely buildup from Coventry to work it into the Sunderland half but Rudoni’s shot has not right to go in from there, it’s low and not particularly vicious until it takes a big deflection off of Omar Alderete to beat Roefs.
