Liverpool 4-1 Ipswich Town (Full Time)
Southampton 1-3 Newcastle United (Full Time)
Wolves 0-1 Arsenal (Full Time)
Manchester City 3-1 Chelsea (Full Time)
2025-01-25T19:28:08Z
FULL TIME! Manchester City 3-1 Chelsea
It was the worst possible start, but Manchester City fought back excellently to secure all three points and move them above Chelsea and into fourth.
2025-01-25T19:22:29Z
Into five minutes of added time, and that goal has just about killed the game.
2025-01-25T19:17:32Z
GOAL! Manchester City 3-1 Chelsea (Foden)
That should settle the nerves! Erling Haaland is again the main man, holding the ball up before slipping in Phil Foden.
He runs from inside the centre circle before calmly slotting past Sanchez.
Chelsea have thrown this away.
2025-01-25T19:15:01Z
A couple of yellow cards are brandished to Mateo Kovacic and Bernardo Silva, but Chelsea are struggling to find a way past a resolute Man City side.
Then again, so were PSG...

Haaland barely needs 0.02, let alone the goalkeeper's help.
2025-01-25T19:04:56Z
Not Sanchez's finest moment...

Changes for both sides after that goal. Omar Marmoush's excellent evening comes to an end, with Kevin de Bruyne replacing him.
For Chelsea, Reece James and Jadon Sancho are replaced by Malo Gusto and Pedro Neto.
2025-01-25T18:58:24Z
GOAL! Manchester City 2-1 Chelsea (Haaland)
What is Robert Sanchez doing? It's great work from Haaland, who spins Trevoh Chalobah.
But 25 yards out, Sanchez has rushed out and Haaland just chips the ball over him.

The turnaround is complete!
2025-01-25T18:50:21Z
Time for a Chelsea change. Christopher Nkunku comes on to replace Nicolas Jackson at the top of the pitch for Maresca's side. The Senegalese forward grabbed the assist but struggled otherwise.
2025-01-25T18:48:43Z
Moises Caicedo picks up a booking for a foul on Marmoush, becoming the third player to go into the book.
2025-01-25T18:45:03Z
He looked devastated to come off, but the City faithful were certainly supportive of their new signing.

2025-01-25T18:42:41Z
Khusanov's second half lasts just seven minutes, as he is replaced by John Stones.
On a yellow card, it is hardly surprising.
2025-01-25T18:40:51Z
It's been a quiet start to proceedings in the second half, with both sides still seeking the upper hand.
Mistakes at both ends hand chances to Erling Haaland and Cole Palmer, with the Man City man testing Robert Sanchez.
2025-01-25T18:34:37Z
He hasn't been! No chances from either side heading into the second half.
2025-01-25T18:22:58Z
Khusanov could be taken out of the firing line at the break...

2025-01-25T18:19:43Z
HALF TIME! Manchester City 1-1 Chelsea
It's very delicately poised at the interval.
Madueke went from hero to zero as he opened the scoring, before playing Manchester City onside for the equaliser.
2025-01-25T18:17:40Z
Chelsea need to change something at half time, they seem to have been figured out after a lightning start.
Man City are winning the tactical battle by using their full-backs to pin back Chelsea's wingers. Real problems on the right for Madueke and James.
— Nizaar Kinsella (@NizaarKinsella) January 25, 2025
2025-01-25T18:16:11Z
Madueke won't want to see that one back...
The equaliser has been coming for some time. #CFC have stopped playing and been sitting off #MCFC. Also finally punished for playing with a very high line.
— Simon Johnson (@SJohnsonSport) January 25, 2025
2025-01-25T18:14:18Z
GOAL! Manchester City 1-1 Chelsea (Gvardiol)
It had been coming, and minutes after a disallowed goal this one counts for Manchester City.
Matheus Nunes runs in behind the Chelsea defence before his effort is palmed only as far as Gvardiol, who taps home on his 50th Premier League appearance!
2025-01-25T18:08:49Z
Pain for Manchester City...
Marmoush thinks he has scored after Sanchez spills Gundogan shot. But he is offside. If he had left it for Bernardo, who was arriving at virtually the same time, he was on.
— Simon Stone (@sistoney67) January 25, 2025
2025-01-25T18:06:20Z
DISALLOWED GOAL! Manchester City 0-1 Chelsea
Right on cue, Marmoush finds the net after Robert Sanchez spills a low effort, but the goal is ruled out for offside.
He's threatening.
2025-01-25T18:03:50Z
Marmoush continues to be City's best player, and his cross is met by Phil Foden but he heads over.
2025-01-25T18:00:57Z
The Etihad is nervous, and Chelsea are giving them reason to be. They win it back high up the pitch again but Jackson is offside.
2025-01-25T17:55:39Z
Omar Marmoush has looked lively on his Man City debut, and after winning a free kick he wins the battle to take it too.
Unfortunately, he hits it into the wall, but he is certainly bringing more energy to Pep Guardiola's side.
2025-01-25T17:53:35Z
The game is being played largely in the Man City half, but Man City have had most of the ball...
Chelsea are determined to squeeze City when they are in possession to the extent all 20 outfield players are often within about 30 yards of each other.
— James Olley (@JamesOlley) January 25, 2025
2025-01-25T17:52:44Z
The game has settled down a bit, with Chelsea happy to sit off Man City and the hosts knocking the ball around their defence.
The Blues look ready to pounce on any mistake, but it's still delicately poised.
2025-01-25T17:41:51Z
END TO END!
Moments after that, Phil Foden lashes the ball against the post!
2025-01-25T17:41:24Z
It should be 2-0! Cole Palmer races through before squaring the ball to Jackson. His pass sends the striker wide though, and the move fizzles out.
2025-01-25T17:37:03Z
GOAL! Manchester City 0-1 Chelsea (Madueke)
It's a nightmare start for Abdukodir Khusanov in a Manchester City shirt. He tries to head the ball back to Ederson but it falls short and Nicolas Jackson pounces, before squaring the ball for Noni Madueke to tap in.
Moments later, Khusanov picks up a yellow card!
Abdukodir Khusanov has made an error leading to a goal and been booked inside the opening four minutes of his Premier League debut.

Records tumbled at the Vitality today.
Before today, Nottingham Forest were on an eight game unbeaten run in the Premier League taking 22 points from a possible 24 and then along came Bournemouth.

FULL TIME! Brighton 0-1 Everton
Everton hold on! A massive three points for Moyes and the Toffees!
2025-01-25T17:01:16Z
FULL TIME! Bournemouth 5-0 Nottingham Forest
A statement win for Andone Iraola's side as they blow away Nottingham Forest 5-0! That's 9 goals in their last two games and they are flying on the south coast.
2025-01-25T17:00:11Z
FULL TIME! Wolves 0-1 Arsenal
Arsenal's win, however, was far less simple. They got there in the end though and don't lose any more ground on the Reds.
2025-01-25T16:59:10Z
FULL TIME! Liverpool 4-1 Ipswich Town
A straightforward three points for Arne Slot's side against an Ipswich side that need to get their act together, fast.
2025-01-25T16:56:50Z
FULL TIME! Southampton 1-3 Newcastle United
Another defeat for Ivan Juric's side...
2025-01-25T16:55:23Z
Some are enjoying Bournemouth's style of play....
Iraola is schooling pretty much every elite side he’s coming up against.
Doesn’t matter the style of play, the level of players, the injuries to Bournemouth… he will beat you.
This is not a normal level of coaching.— Joe Thomlinson (@joethomlinson) January 25, 2025
2025-01-25T16:53:50Z
GOAL! Liverpool 4-1 Ipswich Town (Greaves)
Ipswich pull one back through Jacob Greaves, but it will be nothing more than a consolation.
2025-01-25T16:52:03Z
GOAL! Bournemouth 5-0 Nottingham Forest (Semenyo)
It's FIVE for Iraola's side! Semenyo gets in on the act, being fed by Marcus Tavernier before sweeping home to compound Forest's misery
2025-01-25T16:49:42Z
Meanwhile, Everton are down to 10 men because they have used all of their substitutions and Orel Mangala cannot continue.
85' Mangala took a knock earlier and has tried to continue, but is now forced off. With no substitution slots left, we will play the remainder of the game with 10 men.
[0-1] #BHAEVE— Everton (@Everton) January 25, 2025
Can they still hold on?
2025-01-25T16:48:55Z
GOAL! Bournemouth 4-0 Nottingham Forest (Ouattara)
It's a hat-trick for Ouattara! He has Sels to thank for that one though, with some terrible goalkeeping handing the Bournemouth attacker a tap in.
2025-01-25T16:46:39Z
DISALLOWED GOAL! Southampton 1-3 Newcastle United (Fernandes)
Southampton think they have grabbed a goal back through Mateus Fernandez, as he races between two Newcastle centre-backs to poke the ball past the onrushing Dubravka, but a VAR check pulls it back for offside!
2025-01-25T16:42:36Z
This was how much the goal meant to Arsenal...

Brighton 0-1 Everton
Despite Brighton having managed 14 shots, they are still trailing to Everton!
Both sides have only managed one effort on target each mind.
2025-01-25T16:39:42Z
GOAL! Wolves 0-1 Arsenal (Calafiori)
Arsenal take almost instant advantage and it's Riccardo Calafiori who grabs the goal!
The Italian finds the bottom corner of Jose Sa's net, much to the relief of Arsenal's players and staff.
2025-01-25T16:37:24Z
RED CARD! Wolves 0-0 Arsenal (Gomes)
It's 10v10 now for the remainder of the game at Molineux!
Joao Gomes is shown a second yellow for a two footed challenge and it's now ten men each!
2025-01-25T16:31:44Z
By the way, Murphy and Isak joined an exclusive list for Newcastle earlier...
The most times one Newcastle player has assisted another in a Premier League campaign:
◎ 6 - Solano to Shearer (1999/00)
◎ 6 - Robert to Shearer (2001/02)
◎ 6 - Rondón to Pérez (2018/19)
◉ 6 - Murphy to Isak (2024/25)
And there’s still plenty of time to set a new record. 🏅 pic.twitter.com/pGbZV4jOTA— Squawka (@Squawka) January 25, 2025

GOAL! Liverpool 4-0 Ipswich Town (Gakpo)
It's getting ugly for Ipswich Town again as Cody Gakpo adds his second of the game and Liverpool's fourth.
Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross finds the Dutchman free in the box, and he makes no mistake with his head!
2025-01-25T16:23:32Z
GOAL! Bournemouth 3-0 Nottingham Forest (Ouattara)
It's three now!
Forest survived a let off but no such luck this time as Ouattara finds the bottom corner!
2025-01-25T16:20:41Z
DISALLOWED GOAL! Bournemouth 2-0 Nottingham Forest
Kluivert thinks he has his second of the game, but VAR rules it out for offside.
Forest survive by the skin of their teeth.

Well then...
18 - Aged 18 years and 121 days, Myles Lewis-Skelly is the third-youngest player to receive a red card in the Premier League, older only than Wayne Rooney v Birmingham in 2002 (17y 63d) and Michael Owen v Man Utd in 1998 (18y 117d). Detention. pic.twitter.com/DVKBXcgzhc

GOAL! Brighton 0-1 Everton (N'Diaye)
Well, there hadn't been a shot on target! Everton win themselves a penalty minutes before half time thanks to a handball from Joel Veltman, and N'Diaye puts it just beyond the reach of Verbruggen, before he is booked for his celebration.
How big a goal could that be at the bottom of the Premier League?
2025-01-25T15:39:15Z
Brighton 0-0 Everton
Neither side have looked particularly good at the AMEX Stadium, with no one having managed a shot on target!

His second inside three minutes and Newcastle United have turned things around!
Isak's first touch takes him away from the defender, before he confidently slots past the onrushing goalkeeper.

2025-01-25T15:19:01Z
Wolves 0-0 Arsenal
At Molineux it is Wolves who have come the closest to opening the scoring with Pablo Sarabia skying a glorious chance.
Arsenal have yet to have a shot on target...

After conceding four last weekend, Eddie Howe's side are behind early against the Premier League's bottom side.
James Bree's cross finds fellow defender Jan Bednarek, who rises highest to power home a header!
Is a shock on the cards?
2025-01-25T15:14:12Z
GOAL! Liverpool 1-0 Ipswich Town (Szoboszlai)
Liverpool race into an early lead at Anfield thanks to Szoboszlai, who jinks inside the Ipswich defence before finding the bottom corner from the edge of the penalty area!

We have a goal and it's Bournemouth who have opened their account through Justin Kluivert!

2025-01-25T15:03:23Z
And with that kick off, David Moyes brings up a special milestone. Some way to go to catch the other two above him mind.
Only three managers have taken charge of 700 or more Premier League games in the competition's history:
◎ Arsène Wenger (828)
◎ Sir Alex Ferguson (810)
