CHANCE!
Gabriel heads a corner back across the face of goal where it hits a throng of bodies and breaks for Partey on the rebound but he blazes it over the bar.

All eyes turning the Emirates, where there was a slightly novel approach in the pre-match buildup.
Arsenal's stadium announcer has told the home supporters to get behind the team "with and without the ball" in some sort of pep talk

Well, what a trio of games we had there. After a goalless first half, all three matches ended 2-0 to the away side with Liverpool leaving it until added time to get one over on Brentford. Is that the win that sets them on course for the title? Right now, it feels like it.

FULL TIME!
Brentford 0-2 Liverpool
2025-01-18T16:52:07Z
GOAL! Brentford 0-2 Liverpool
And that seals it! As Brentford look for an equaliser, Liverpool break with Darwin getting his second in as many minutes.
2025-01-18T16:51:20Z
Is that the goal that sets Liverpool on course for the title? It's been a brilliant game here and the Reds have been pushing since minute one to finally break the deadlock. Remarkable scenes.
2025-01-18T16:49:49Z
GOAL! Brentford 0-1 Liverpool
What a time to net the opener! Just as the clock strikes 90 minutes, Darwin Nunez taps home for Liverpool. It's a huge goal for Arne Slot's men.
2025-01-18T16:47:46Z
CLOSE!
Mohamed Salah has been quiet this afternoon but he almost won the game for Liverpool with a curled effort from the edge of the area! It was so close to nestling in the far corner.
2025-01-18T16:46:42Z
GOAL! West Ham 0-2 Crystal Palace
Mateta scores his second of the afternoon as the Frenchman converts from the spot.
2025-01-18T16:45:41Z
A big moment for Chiesa here ...

PENALTY!
Crystal Palace have the chance to double their lead as Eddie Nketiah is taken down inside the area.
2025-01-18T16:42:58Z
CHANCE!
Another one for Brentford as Wissa goes on the outside of Robertson and forces Alisson into a smart stop. Immediately up the other end Trent Alexander-Arnold strikes at goal but it whistles just wide.
2025-01-18T16:41:00Z
He may have been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia in the week but Luis Guilherme is on for West Ham ...

RED CARD!
There's a sending off at West Ham as Mavropanos is given his marching orders for a high foot.
2025-01-18T16:37:03Z
This game at Brentford has suddenly returned to life with chances at both ends. Trent's cross flew across the box but no one was there to connect. Meanwhile Bryan Mbeumo's effort was saved by Alisson. Surely there's going to be a winner here.
2025-01-18T16:30:47Z
CLOSE!
It's Brentford's turn this time as a free kick from the left-hand side goes right across Alisson's box and evades everyone!
2025-01-18T16:27:56Z
GOAL! Leicester 0-2 Fulham
Fulham have bagged their second of the game with Adama Traore netting from a sweet volley. Surely game over here.

Liverpool are at it again but this Darwin Nunez can only head wide.

2025-01-18T16:22:17Z
CHANCE!
Luis Diaz strikes first time from 12 yards out but his shot is saved brilliantly by Flekken down to his right. Liverpool are pushing for that goal though.
2025-01-18T16:20:05Z
A double change upcoming for Liverpool as they try to get that invaluable goal ...

GOAL! Leicester 0-1 Fulham
There's been another goal, this time at the King Power with Fulham taking the lead thanks to Emile Smith Rowe.
2025-01-18T16:06:09Z
GOAL! West Ham 0-1 Crystal Palace
And we finally have a goal in these afternoon kick offs as Mateta waltzes forward for Palace and fires in a brilliant low effort from 20 yards.
2025-01-18T16:03:59Z
Here's hoping for a few more goals in these next 45 minutes ...
2025-01-18T16:03:45Z

Despite a lack of goals there's been no shortage of action in the Premier League so far, with Brentford and Liverpool playing out a breathless opening act. We'll be back in 15 minutes for the second period.
2025-01-18T15:40:27Z
CHANCE!
Cody Gakpo really should have scored there. The Dutchman was played in by Mohamed Salah but his weak effort was seen out of play by Ben Mee.
2025-01-18T15:36:00Z
CHANCE!
Liverpool go close ...
That's better. Sweet 20-yard strike from Szoboszlai hammers against the bar.
— James Pearce (@JamesPearceLFC) January 18, 2025
2025-01-18T15:35:04Z
There's a penalty shout at West Ham with Soucek going down under a challenge. The referee however has waved play on. We will get that goal eventually ...
2025-01-18T15:33:32Z
It was raining goals at St James' Park earlier but with half an hour gone in these matches we're still yet to see one.
2025-01-18T15:31:55Z
Things have calmed down somewhat at the Gtech with Liverpool in control now. It's still goalless though.
2025-01-18T15:25:44Z
At the King Power, Fulham are finally getting into the game ...
24' | Fulham coming into the game now, Smith Rowe with a shot wide. Game just bubbling under 🫧
0-0 | #LEIFUL— Leicester City (@LCFC) January 18, 2025
2025-01-18T15:21:49Z
Konate is the latest to have a go for Liverpool but his effort balloons well over the bar.
2025-01-18T15:21:29Z
It's difficult to describe (despite it being my job) how breathless this Liverpool game is right now. I look down to type and about three separate things have happened. A shot from Gravenberch was recently tipped around the post and then Brentford broke from the corner for Mbeumo to have an effort.
2025-01-18T15:16:17Z
This just about sums it up ...
What a chance for Diaz. Made a complete hash of it
— James Pearce (@JamesPearceLFC) January 18, 2025
2025-01-18T15:15:57Z
CHANCE!
Luis Diaz goes close as he tries to head in Konate's cross, but the Colombia international can't connect properly.
2025-01-18T15:12:14Z
We're 10 minutes in but this game at Brentford is already looking like something from the NBA it's so end-to-end.
2025-01-18T15:10:37Z
CLOSE!
Leicester are looking for their opener at the King Power ...
9' | City with early chances. Ayew blasts at Leno from close range, while Castagne almost puts through his own net from a Vardy cross 🥅
0-0 | #LEIFUL— Leicester City (@LCFC) January 18, 2025
2025-01-18T15:09:48Z
CHANCE!
West Ham are looking dangerous early on and almost went ahead only for Aaron Cresswell to fluff his lines inside the area.
2025-01-18T15:06:28Z
CHANCE!
It's Brentford who should be ahead in their game against Liverpool as Roerslev's cross is flashed across the box but no one is able to prod the ball in.
2025-01-18T15:03:19Z
Some more stats from Bournemouth's win earlier, with Justin Kluivert joining a very special group of players ...
7 – Premier League players to score two hat-tricks away from home in a season:
Ian Wright – 1993/94
Robbie Fowler – 2001/02
Michael Owen – 2002/03
Luis Suárez – 2012/13
Harry Kane – 2016/17
Raheem Sterling – 2019/20

And we're underway in the afternoon games.
2025-01-18T14:56:34Z
As we wait for these next games to kick off, a remarkable statistic from the Newcastle game just now ...
6 - Eddie Howe has failed to win any of his six Premier League games as a manager against Bournemouth (D4 L2), with Rafa Benitez the only manager to face a former club more often in the competition without ever tasting victory (7 v Liverpool). Bogey. pic.twitter.com/hAKQuzTsju

2025-01-18T14:47:08Z
There's only 15 minutes to go until three more games with the headline attraction coming from west London as Brentford host Liverpool.
2025-01-18T14:40:24Z
Justin Kluivert might never have a game like that one again. The Dutchman was at the heart of everything Bournemouth did well at St James' Park, with the stats to prove it ...

What a win for Bournemouth. Newcastle came into this game on a nine-match winning run but have been completely taken apart by the Cherries with Justin Kluivert getting a hat-trick. A remarkable day for Andoni Iraloa's men.
2025-01-18T14:32:31Z
FULL TIME! Newcastle 1-4 Bournemouth
2025-01-18T14:30:01Z
GOAL! Newcastle 1-4 Bournemouth
What a stunning goal from Milos Kerkez. The left-back powers forward, takes a touch inside the area and drives an effort into the far corner. This is a stunning win for the Cherries.
2025-01-18T14:28:59Z
CHANCE!
Gordon finds space inside the area but sees his effort cleared off the line! That really does feel like that.
2025-01-18T14:26:22Z
The lad's having a barnburner of a campaign ...

And that's it, game over. Justin Kluivert has got his hat-trick with an absolute stunner from 25 yards out. What a game he's had.
2025-01-18T14:24:05Z
We're at the end of normal time here. With the referee adding an additional seven minutes.
2025-01-18T14:19:45Z
There's five minutes to go at St James' Park and Newcastle are pushing for that equaliser!
2025-01-18T14:17:32Z
CHANCE!
Gordon almost scored one of the goals of the season there but his volley from the edge of the area was blocked brilliant by Huijsen!
2025-01-18T14:15:21Z
David Brooks comes off to a standing ovation from the travelling fans. He's been spectacular today.
2025-01-18T14:11:37Z
Alexander Isak has been kept very quiet this afternoon. The Swedish striker just had his first sniff of a chance but the Bournemouth defence pounced on the forward to keep him at bay.
2025-01-18T14:03:40Z
CHANCE!
Bournemouth had another opportunity to get a third there but David Brooks' clever flick came back off the post and out.

The goal has been ruled out by VAR after it was shown that the ball had previously gone out of play in the build-up.
2025-01-18T13:54:54Z
GOAL! Newcastle 1-3 Bournemouth
And it's Bournemouth who strike again! Dango Outtara finds space at the back post and pokes in after good work down the right-hand side.
2025-01-18T13:51:13Z
We're nearly at the hour mark in the north east and this game has hit a bit of a lull after the frantic first 45 minutes. Can Newcastle up it and find an equaliser?

2025-01-18T13:42:51Z
CHANCE!
Bournemouth come quickly out of the traps and have an effort through David Brooks. The Wales international though, sees his effort saved by Dubravka.
2025-01-18T13:38:27Z
The teams are back out for the second half with Newcastle making one change as Fabian Schar comes in for Sven Botman.
2025-01-18T13:24:28Z
HALF TIME! Newcastle 1-2 Bournemouth
What a brilliant 45 minutes of football. Justin Kluivert's double has given the Cherries a lead but it's Newcastle who impressed most in the first half. We'll be back in 15 minutes! Don't go anywhere.
2025-01-18T13:21:53Z
It's all kicking off at the end of the half with Adams and Joelinton both booked for a pair of wild challenges that ended in an eight-man brawl.
2025-01-18T13:16:05Z
GOAL! Newcastle 1-2 Bournemouth
Against the run of play Bournemouth strike just before half time as Justin Kluivert gets his second of the afternoon with a neat finish from the edge of the area. Where did that come from?!
2025-01-18T13:12:16Z
Five minutes to go here at St James' Park and it's really only Newcastle who look like bagging the next goal.
2025-01-18T13:09:15Z

2025-01-18T13:02:46Z
CHANCE!
A cross/shot from Kluivert beats Dubravka but goes just wide of the Newcastle goalkeeper's post. We're not sure whether Kluivert meant that one, in all honesty.

GOAL! Newcastle 1-1 Bournemouth
Newcastle are back on level terms thanks to Bruno's brilliant header from 15 yards out. The Magpies have slowly grown into this game since going behind and full deserve their equaliser!
2025-01-18T12:53:04Z
Newcastle have their first proper chance on 21 minutes but Joelinton fires over from the edge of the area.
2025-01-18T12:48:06Z
A great stat here from the good folk at TNT Sports ...
Justin Kluivert has already scored more goals this season (8) than he did in the entire 2023/24 Premier League season (7).

GOAL! Newcastle 0-1 Bournemouth
Justin Kluivert makes the most of Bournemouth's early pressure as he sweeps home an opener after only six minutes. What a start!
2025-01-18T12:35:51Z
CHANCE!
First opportunity of the game goes to Bournemouth as Outtara flicks on a cross but it's a fine save by Martin Dubravka to deny the Cherries.
2025-01-18T12:31:31Z
And we're off at St James' Park!
2025-01-18T12:30:33Z
Should Alexander Isak net today that would be the ninth game in a row in which he's scored - only two games behind Jamie Vardy's record of 11 set in 2015/16. Can he do it?
2025-01-18T12:22:13Z
Newcastle are the in-form team in the Premier League right now with Eddie Howe's side having won nine in a row. Bournemouth meanwhile are in ninth and haven't lost in five. This should be a cracker!
