Everton v Tottenham: Premier League updates, plus goals from elsewhere - live

0
now 09.54 EST A corner on the right was half cleared and then swung beyond the far post. Tarkowski headed it back into the middle, Calvert-Lewin flicked it further across goal and Archie Gray put it into the roof of his own net. He and Dragusin went for the ball at the same time; I’m not sure whether Dragusin kicked it against Gray or whether Gray was the only one to make contact. Either way, it looked awful. Share

48s ago 09.53 EST GOAL! Everton 3-0 Tottenham (Gray own goal 45+8) From bad to worse, a farcical own goal to complete an awful first half for Spurs. Share

1m ago 09.52 EST 45+7 min Dragusin takes a risk by mauling Tarkowski’s shirt before the follow-up corner. Tarkowski goes down but the referee isn’t interested. Share

2m ago 09.52 EST 45+6 min: Chance for Everton! Lindstrom’s dipping free-kick from the right is met by the stooping Tarkowski, whose header hits the left thigh of Kinsky before bouncing safely. For him, that’s a really good chance. Share

3m ago 09.51 EST Half time: Man Utd 1-1 Brighton Yankuba Minteh scored early for Brighton; Bruno Fernandes equalised from the penalty spot. Share

3m ago 09.51 EST Half time: Nottm Forest 3-0 Southampton Elliot Anderson, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Chris Wood have put Forest in complete control. Share

3m ago 09.51 EST 45+6 min Spurs look bereft of confidence and purpose. Spence is lucky not to be booked for a bit of a hack at Lindstrom. Share

6m ago 09.48 EST 45+3 min Play resumes after a five-minute stoppage. Share

6m ago 09.47 EST 45+3 min Peter Reid, a magnificent footballer and even better human being, is in the crowd and sporting a spectacular blue… is that a trilby? Whatever it is, he looks like an enforcer in Boardwalk Empire. View image in fullscreen Peter Reid, bottom right. Photograph: Jason Cairnduff/Action Images/Reuters Share Updated at 09.49 EST

8m ago 09.46 EST 45+1 min Dragusin is still being treated. He’s conscious but has a cut above the right eye that is being patched up. There will be seven minutes of added time. Share Updated at 09.48 EST

10m ago 09.43 EST 44 min Dragusin is receiving treatment and looks a bit groggy. Share

10m ago 09.43 EST GOAL! Nottm Forest 3-0 Southampton (Wood 43) Chris Wood scores, of course he does. It’s a really good finish, a precise, flicked header from 12 yards after a cross from Ola Aina. Share Updated at 09.45 EST

11m ago 09.43 EST 43 min Calvert-Lewin catches Dragusin with an elbow and is booked. It wasn’t deliberate but it was a fair old clout. Share

11m ago 09.42 EST 41 min “Spurs look like a Championship winning team that failed to pragmatically adjust their style to the Premier League,” says Joe Harvey. “Like Burnley or Leeds. Not a great sign.” I’d argue there’s plenty of evidence that their style works, but only when they have something close to their best XI. I suppose Big Ange would argue that if you compromise your style in short term, you delay long-term progress; the counter-argument usually comes in the form of a P45. Share

13m ago 09.40 EST 40 min Bergvall shoves Calvert-Lewin over and is booked. Share

13m ago 09.40 EST Nottm Forest 2-0 Southampton Long way to go and all, but as things stand Forest have a six-point Champions League cushion. Just imagine the atmosphere at the City Ground if they play European football next year. Share

15m ago 09.39 EST 38 min Everton have been comfortable since Ndiaye’s goal. Spurs will argue they should have had a penalty just before that, which would have made it 1-1. Even so, their defending hasn’t been great – as good as Ndiaye’s goal was, I’m not sure he’d have got past Cristian Romero. Not with the ball anyway. Share

16m ago 09.37 EST 36 min The last time Everton scored two goals in a game was before records began against Wolves in early December. I still think Spurs should hold their nerve with Ange Postecoglou but you have to fear for his job prospects now. Share

20m ago 09.33 EST 33 min Bergvall shoots over from 22 yards. Spurs look a bit stunned. Share

21m ago 09.33 EST GOAL! Nottm Forest 2-0 Southampton (Hudson-Odoi 28) Nottingham Forest’s greatest season in decades is continuing at the City Ground. Southampton farted around at the back and lost the ball; Callum Hudson-Odoi punished them with a precise shot from the edge of the D.

22m ago 09.32 EST That was a quite exhilarating goal. Ndiaye collected the ball just past the halfway line and ran straight at a backpedalling defence. He beat Dragusin on the edge of the area with an elegant, borderline erotic hip-wiggle and lifted the ball emphatically over Kinsky. Share Updated at 09.35 EST

24m ago 09.30 EST 28 min Just after that Pickford save, Son went over in the area after a clumsy challenge from behind by Branthwaite. The referee waved on and VAR filed it under Referee’s Call. I think Everton are a bit lucky there – certainly, as Jamie Carragher says on Sky, had a penalty been given it wouldn’t have been overturned. Share

27m ago 09.27 EST 27 min Son’s shot from a tight angle is well blocked by Pickford at the near post. Share

27m ago 09.26 EST 26 min: Ndiaye hits the post! That’s a brilliant reaction save from Kinsky, who plunges to his left to fingertip Ndiaye’s first-time onto the post. Share

28m ago 09.26 EST 25 min: An even better chance for Calvert-Lewin! Everton should be 2-0 up. Calvert-Lewin broke beyond the Spurs defence, who were close to the halfway line as usual, and had all the time in the world to control Branthwaite’s crossfield pass. Probably too much: his second touch was awful and allowed Kinsky to dive at his feet. Share Updated at 09.27 EST

29m ago 09.24 EST GOAL! Man Utd 1-1 Brighton (Fernandes 23 pen) Bruno Fernandes has equalised from the spot at Old Trafford. It stemmed from another Amad press, with the ball falling to Zirkzee in the area. He was pulled back by Baleba and Fernandes did the necessary. Baleba might have been sent off as I don’t think he was trying to play the ball. View image in fullscreen Photograph: Dave Thompson/AP Share Updated at 09.36 EST

29m ago 09.24 EST 24 min: Great chance for Son! Spurs are starting to fire up the passing carousel. Kulusevski spins cleverly behind Gueye and squares the ball across the area to Son, whose tame sidefoot is too close to Pickford. It was still a good save but an in-form Son would have buried it. Share

31m ago 09.22 EST 22 min Son’s deep, inswinging corner is clawed away awkwardly but effectively by Pickford. Moments later Spence has a fierce shot from distance that is blocked. Share
