I\u2019m paraphrasing all this because we can\u2019t legally watch the 3pm games, so if any facts are incorrect it\u2019s not my fault, no no no.<\/p>\n (Apparently Rayan Cherki hit the post just before that, but there\u2019s a lot going on so don\u2019t quote me.)<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a010.29 EDT<\/p>\n 20 min: Brentford 0-0 Sunderland Enzo Le Fee has sizzled a post for Sunderland, who are apparently all over Brentford like a cheap cliche.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Premier League latest<\/p>\n Brentford 0-0 Sunderland<\/p>\n Brighton 0-1 Leeds<\/p>\n Fulham 1-0 Crystal Palace<\/p>\n Manchester City 0-0 Coventry<\/p>\n Nottingham Forest 0-0 Tottenham<\/p>\n Newcastle 2-2 Bournemouth (FT)<\/p>\n Share<\/a>NO GOAL!

Sounds like a bit of a nightmare for the Motherwell keeper Alex Paulsen, who farted around and was dispossessed by Naderi (it says here).<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a010.15 EDT<\/p>\n NO GOAL!

Enzo Fernandez comes into midfield for his City debut.<\/p>\n Man City (poss 4-2-3-1) Donnarumma; Khusanov, Dias, Guehi, Gvardiol; Anderson, Enzo Fernandez; Ndiaye, Cherki, Semenyo; Haaland.<\/p>\n Subs: Rulli, Kovacic, Ait Nouri, Matheus Luiz, Bouaddi, Foden, McAidoo, Lewis.<\/p>\n Coventry (poss 3-4-2-1) Rushworth; Thomas, Amenda, Pinnock; Van Ewijk, Onyeka, Grimes, Dasilva; Rudoni, Mason-Clark; Awoniyi.<\/p>\n Subs: Bentley, Sakamoto, Yirenkyi, Simms, Tchaouna, Latibeaudiere, Thomas-Asante, Overgaard, Hamer.<\/p>\n Referee Paul Tierney (Lancashire)<\/p>\n Share<\/a> Just as Bournemouth\u2019s Alex Scott seemed to have succeeded in building a personal playground by the Tyne, another midfielder emerged from the shadows and ruined his afternoon.<\/p>\n Since Matthias Jaissle succeeded Eddie Howe as Newcastle\u2019s manager, Jacob Ramsey has been largely shunted to the margins, but the home substitute\u2019s superbly executed 88th minute equaliser ensured Scott and his team-mates had to settle for a point.<\/p>\n Like Jaissle, Marco Rose is a German graduate of the Red Bull school of management and a former RB Salzburg manager. Big on verticality, intensity and relentless pressing, both men have much in common, but systems are only as good as the players within them and, in Scott, Rose had a player blessed with the brain and vision to dominate central midfield.<\/p>\n By the time Ramsey rose from the bench, Bournemouth should have recorded their first win under Rose, but once again they proved incapable of retaining a lead and, thanks to Ramsey, Newcastle secured a face-saving draw.<\/p>\n Share<\/a> A Veerle Buurman own goal punished a profligate Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, securing a point to Aston Villa in a frustrating start to their WSL title push.<\/p>\n How Villa came away with a point having conceded 64% possession and having amassed just seven shots to Chelsea\u2019s 32 and five touches in the opposition box to the home team\u2019s 57 is somewhat inexplicable.<\/p>\n Chelsea were creative and Lauren James was at her free-flowing best, but they just could not convert their many chances, and the new Aston Villa goalkeeper Akane Okuma\u2019s monumental performance was a big part of that.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>EFL results<\/p>\n Championship<\/p>\n Lincoln 1-1 Southampton<\/p>\n Preston 2-1 Blackburn<\/p>\n Stoke 4-0 Charlton<\/p>\n League One<\/p>\n League Two<\/p>\n Fleetwood 2-0 Shrewsbury<\/p>\n Salford 1-0 Port Vale<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Full time: Chelsea 1-1 Aston Villa<\/p>\n A frustrating start to the WSL season for Chelsea. Lauren James scored a brilliant early goal, but Villa\u2019s debutant keeper Akane Okuma kept them in the game with a series of saves. They nicked a point \u2013 their first against Chelsea in the WSL \u2013 when Veerle Buurman scored an unfortunate own goal.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Full time: Newcastle 2-2 Bournemouth<\/p>\n Newcastle came from 2-0 down to earn a point at St James\u2019 Park.

It\u2019s been a stuttering start for the Tangerines with an opening day draw against Rangers followed by disappointing defeats to Hearts, Dundee and then Motherwell last Wednesday, with only last weeks win at Kilmarnock offering some hope. Still early days, but three points today really the only thing that will prevent Jim Goodwin\u2019s coat peg from becoming even shooglier.<\/p>\n \u201cDeadline day signings Lyall Cameron and Zinedine Zidane Iqbal are both involved, the former Dundee man, but United fan, Cameron starting in midfield and headline writer\u2019s dream Iqbal on the bench.

He informed Liverpool of his intentions to leave early this year, after the departure of his friend Michael Edwards as chief executive of football for Fenway Sports Group<\/a>, the club\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n With work already under way on Liverpool\u2019s summer transfer targets \u2013 including the signing of Bradley Barcola<\/a> in a \u00a3123m deal \u2013 and Hughes enjoying a close working relationship with the new head coach, Andoni Iraola, it was agreed he would continue in the role until the end of the transfer window.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL!
