Poor Ed Aarons was at Selhurst Park to see the A23 stalemate…
Crystal Palace supporters have spent the last six months taking great pleasure in reminding Brighton that they have still yet to win a major trophy. So the first meeting of the clubs since Oliver Glasner’s side did the double over their adversaries from down the A23 for the first time since 1933 – before going on to win the FA Cup – was never going to be one for the faint-hearted.
But while the streets of south London had the usual heavy police presence for a rivalry that dates back to the days when these clubs were managed by Terry Venables and Alan Mullery in the late 1970s, there wasn’t the same quality to match the passion on display.

The Sean Dyche era is fully up and running at Nottingham Forest after securing his first Premier League win as head coach. Leeds were barely worthy opponents, which is concerning considering the two teams could be set for a long battle for survival.
Lukas Nmecha put Leeds ahead but they quickly withdrew their challenge as Ibrahim Sangaré, Morgan Gibbs-White and Elliot Anderson earned Forest a first Premier League victory in 10 matches to move them one point off 17th.

Something is seriously wrong with Newcastle on the road. It is all well and good raising their game for the biggest Champions League occasions at St James’ Park, but if they continue to play like they did against Brentford – just as they did in defeat at West Ham a week earlier, and countless times over a concerning number of months – those European nights may well become a distant memory.
That they ended this game with a numerical disadvantage after Dan Burn’s sending off was of little relevance to a defeat that they fully deserved. Harvey Barnes’ goal aside they were utterly impotent, offering only that solitary shot on target all match.

Busy afternoon for Ben Fisher. He was at Villa Park to see the home side beat Bournemouth…
After Emiliano Martínez’s mistake allowed Mohamed Salah to open the scoring at Anfield last weekend, there was a statistic doing the rounds that only three players had made more errors leading to Premier League goals since the Argentinian signed for Aston Villa five years ago. The life of a goalkeeper and all that.
But Martínez tends to thrive when in the line of fire and here he pulled off two brilliant saves, including one to deny Antoine Semenyo from the penalty spot, before substitutes Ross Barkley and Donyell Malen sealed a 4-0 that lifts Villa above Bournemouth in the table. For Andoni Iraola’s side, their first notable off-day of an otherwise fine start.

Edwards agrees deal to take over at Wolves
Ben Fisher
Rob Edwards has agreed a three-and-a-half-year contract to become the Wolves head coach and could be formally appointed as early as Monday. Middlesbrough rejected Wolves’s initial approach for Edwards but following talks on Friday they grew resigned to losing him.
Wolves will pay around £3m in compensation to Boro to remove Edwards from the three-year contract he signed on arrival at the Riverside Stadium in June.
Wolves are longstanding admirers of Edwards, a former player and coach at the Molineux club. He also had a brief spell in caretaker charge in 2016, shortly after Fosun, Wolves’s Chinese owner, bought the club.
Edwards is expected at Wolves on Monday, when the deal could be announced by the Premier League club. Edwards will succeed Vítor Pereira, who was sacked after claiming just two points from the opening 10 matches of the season.

Two clean sheets in a row for Brighton but little else to shout about in this one.

Goal! Aston Villa 4-0 Bournemouth (Malen 82)
It’s been a tough couple of weeks for Bournemouth and now Malen rubs their nose in it by finishing off a clever set-piece routine with Jadon Sancho and Youri Tielemans both involved.

Brentford 2-1 Newcastle
Newcastle are giving this a go despite being down to 10. Brentford happy to sit deep and play on the counter.

Crystal Palace 0-0 Brighton
You sense both teams would be happy with a point in this. It’s very tight and low on quality.

Barkley is teed up by Digne from a corner and it’s an easy header to end this contest.

Goal! Brentford 2-1 Newcastle (Igor Thiago 78)
The Brazillian converts and Newcastle’s struggles on the road look set to continue. No chance Ramsdale.

Red card and penalty! Brentford 1-1 Newcastle
Burn has been walking a tightrope and althought this is right on the edge of the box it is foul and a second yellow for the England international. Pope is struggling and Ramsdale will replace him. DRAMA!

Goal! Nottingham Forest 2-1 Leeds (Gibbs-White 68)
Substitute Omari Hutchinson is the catalyst. The wideman picks out Morgan Gibbs-White with a great cross and the Forest skipper glances home a header.

Missed penalty! Aston Villa 2-0 Bournemouth
Rodgers is rightly penalised for a handball and up steps Semenyo to give Bournemouth a route back into the game but Martinez gets down to his right and claws away the low strike.

Brentford 1-1 Newcastle: VAR review for Brentford penalty
How has that not been given? Burn appears to bring down Ouattara in the box, but the Brentford man is booked for a dive. It looked like contact on the replay, VAR does not agree.

Brentford get the equaliser as Schade reacts quickest to fire home.

Crystal Palace 0-0 Brighton: VAR review for a Brighton penalty
Rutter thinks he’s won a penalty for Brighton but a VAR check reveals that he initiated contact and the decision is overturned, with the Seagull booked.
Share
Aston Villa 2-0 Bournemouth
Big save from Martinez to stop Bournemouth getting back into this. A quick break from the away side ends with Scott getting a shot away but the ball loops up and the Villa keeper ends up scrambling back to tip it over the bar. Great save.

Crystal Palace 0-0 Brighton
Huge chance for Palace! Sarr and Kamada both have opportunities after Wharton nicks the ball in midfield and fluff their lines.
Share
Brentford 0-1 Newcastle
Dan Burn goes into the book for a tug that gives Brentford a free-kick in a dangerous position. It comes to nothing.
Share
Crystal Palace 0-0 Brighton
The second half starts with a decent chance for Brighton as Gomez gets on the end of a Minteh cross but Henderson is able to gather at the second attempt.

Peeeeeep!
We are back underway at Selhurst and elsewhere.

We’re building up to the big one, and now Tom Bassam is in the chair.

Half-time: Aston Villa 2-0 Bournemouth
Andoni Iraola’s shuffled his pack but lost out to a fine first-half from Villa, two great goals, Buendia and Onana getting them. Bournemouth lost Adam Smith to the injury he sustained in that clash with Tyler Adams.
Share
Half-time: Nottingham Forest 1-1 Leeds
A swift, early exchange of goals, and Forest are looking far more solid than during their Ange interregnum. Not too exciting, though.
Share
Half-time: Brentford 0-1 Newcastle
A lovely goal from Harvey Barnes separates the teams, and Newcastle are on course for a first away win of the season.
Share
Half-time: Crystal Palace 0-0 Brighton
Palace have gone closest but Brighton have usually defended well in a so-far forgettable encounter at Selhurst.

Nottingham Forest 1-1 Leeds
Since their goal, Leeds have not had a shot on the Forest goal. They’ve been Dyched since then.
Share
Crystal Palace 0-0 Brighton
This rivalry/derby, every time I see it, is usually a dog of a game. This one seems no exception. A lot of effort, not much craft on show when both teams are usually full of it.
Share
Brentford 0-1 Newcastle
Keith Andrews looks tense on his bench. His team have had the ball in the positions they can work with though perhaps his speedy forwards haven’t seen enough of the ball.
Share
Goal! Aston Villa 2-0 Bournemouth (Onana, 40)
What did I say? That was a cracker, from long range, smashed in after some real skill from Morgan Rogers, and it smashes low and hard beyond Petrovic.
Share
Aston Villa 1-0 Bournemouth
Watkins goes close, again, a snap shot very well saved by Petrovic. Villa look the likelier for the next goal. Bournemouth look well off it.
Share
Aston Villa 1-0 Bournemouth
Ollie Watkins, a player in not much form, has a decent effort, and it goes just wide. There’s a VAR delay for a challenge in the Bournemouth box but no foul is awarded.
