Full-time: Burnley 0-2 Arsenal
Arsenal go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League with a routine win at Turf Moor. Gyökeres’s header from a Rice corner gave them the lead and Rice then converted a cross himself.
Premier League full-time: Fulham 3-0 Wolves
Premier League full-time: Brighton 3-0 Leeds
Full-time: Nottingham Forest 2-2 Manchester United
A point apiece at the City Ground. Forest’s quick turnaround at the start of the second half gave them all the momentum but Amad’s excellent equaliser earns a draw for Amorim a year on from his appointment at United.
Premier League full-time: Crystal Palace 2-0 Brentford.
Amad’s shot is cleared off the line! Murillo scrambles to keep the ball out and preserve a point for Forest.
Casemiro’s shot takes a wicked deflection leaving Sels stranded but the ball loops over the crossbar out for a corner …
Scotland: Full-time at Tynecastle, Hearts have beaten Dundee 4-0 to go nine points clear at the top of the Premiership.
Five minutes of added time at Forest. Anderson tries to make something happen but overhits a pass to Hudson-Odoi. 2-2.
FA Cup: Macclesfield 6-3 Totton now. Mansfield have gone 3-2 up against Harrogate. MK Dons the same at Colchester. Buxton lead St Albans by five. York equalise at Barnsley, 2-2.
Forest go in search of another. Williams has a shot deflected out for a corner … Sesko heads away and it runs out for another corner. Milenkovic gets too much on his header.
GOAL! Nottingham Forest 2-2 Manchester United (Amad 81)
A stunning equaliser! The ball drops out of the sky on the edge of the box, Amad catches it on the volley and Sels has no chance! VAR is checking for a possible handball in the buildup … the goal stands!
GOAL! Fulham 3-0 Wolves (Mosquera 75og)
All over. Sessegnon’s cross is flicked on by Smith Rowe and Mosquera turns it into his own net. Miserable for Wolves.
WSL: Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor has responded to the comments about Hannah Hampton in Mary Earps’ autobiography:
Scotland: Four for Hearts! Magnusson extends their lead further and they will be heading nine points clear of Celtic.
Championship: Millwall are back in front at Oxford, Swansea have equalised at Charlton and Ipswich have four at Loftus Road. Divin Mubama has now scored a hat-trick for Stoke against Bristol City. It’s all going on.
GOAL! Brighton 3-0 Leeds (Gómez 70)
Leeds will be going home from the Amex without a win once again. It’s 16 years since they last won away at Brighton. Gómez has his second.
Simon writes in about the fitba: “Equally as impressive as Hearts going nine points clear at the top against the risible shower that is Steven ‘Elvis’ Pressley’s Dundee, is the fact that Falkirk are also three nil up at home to Kilmarnock. Falkirk were in Scottish League One only three years ago, and are now currently sitting fifth in the Scottish Premiership after back to back promotions, all done on a fraction of the budget of so called bigger clubs.”
FA Cup: Hemel Hempstead level it at Wigan! Joe White from the penalty spot. Could the 2013 winners be on the end of a shock? Macclesfield 5-3 Totton now.
Will Unwin informs me from Turf Moor that Burnley are yet to have a shot against Arsenal. Still 2-0.
Hudson-Odoi shoots just wide! United leave themselves exposed in the middle of the pitch, Anderson finds Hudson-Odoi and his shot flies just past the post from the edge of the box.
GOAL! Fulham 2-0 Wolves (Wilson 62)
Harry Wilson curls past Johnstone to give Fulham breathing space against the 10 men of Wolves.
GOAL! Brighton 2-0 Leeds (Gómez 64)
Diego Gómez taps in from around six yards out to double Brighton’s lead!
FA Cup: Buxton peg Chatham Town back, Tate Campbell equalising after Tape Fadahunsi had given the seventh-tier side the lead. 1-1.
Calvert-Lewin drags a shot wide for Leeds. He’s had little service at Brighton this afternoon. Welbeck’s goal still the difference.
Championship: Carlton Morris has got a hat-trick at Sheffield United. His penalty gives Derby a 3-0 lead. Birmingham have a third at home to Portsmouth.
Bruno Fernandes hits the post! The United captain tries his luck from distance and beats Sels but not the upright. Casemiro gets to the rebound but can’t divert it on target.
FA Cup: Gateshead have doubled their lead at AFC Wimbledon, a shock really on the cards now. It’s also Burton 3-0 St Albans and Macclesfield 4-3 Totton.
Forest are a real threat. Hudson-Odoi almost gets on the end of a cross but just misses. Dyche’s team getting real joy out wide against United’s wing-backs.
Scotland: Hearts go 3-0 up against Dundee, Kaboré again. Hibs are now 2-1 in front at Livingston.
Premier League golden boot: Here’s how things stand, as of half-time. Who’s closing in on Erling Haaland?
GOAL! Crystal Palace 2-0 Brentford (Collins 51og)
This was, technically, the sixth consecutive headed goal in the Premier League. A Palace long throw is headed into his own net by Nathan Collins.
GOAL! Nottingham Forest 2-1 Manchester United (Savona 50)
Forest have turned this game on its head! The momentum of the equaliser sees Dyche’s side surge forward again. Savona pounces on loose ball in the box to score his first goal for the club.
GOAL! Nottingham Forest 1-1 Manchester United (Gibbs-White 48)
Yes! Another goal, another header in the Premier League. Gibbs-White, a Manchester United fan, attacks the ball at the back post and powers his header down past Lammens.
Championship: Carlton Morris has his second for Derby at Bramall Lane. Charlie Kelman puts Charlton in front against Swansea. Stoke have a fourth against Bristol City.
FA Cup: After conceding in the first minute, seventh-tier St Albans again leak a goal after kick-off. Charlie Webster doubles Burton’s lead.
Second half begins
We’re on a streak of four headed goals in the Premier League. Any more?

Crystal Palace 1-0 Brentford (Mateta 30)
Fulham 1-0 Wolves (Sessegnon 9)
Nottingham Forest 0-1 Man Utd (Casemiro 34)
Half-time boos at Forest – for the officials rather than their own team. United lead 1-0 from that controversial corner.
Championship: Southampton’s struggles continue as Lewis Dobbin finds the net for Preston at St Mary’s. Luca Kjerrumgaard doubles Watford’s lead against Boro. Oxford level it against Millwall.
A shrewd observation from Kári by email: “Rice’s strike today came after a throw-in by Kyle Walker. The fashion for long-throws leaves gaps in defence and Arsenal pounced. I wonder if this is the coming trend.”
There’s always a counter-trend. You can get in touch too.
Scotland: Pierre Landry Kaboré doubles Hearts’ lead against Dundee. There’s no stopping them!
Red card for Wolves! (Agbadou 36)
Agbadou pleads his innocence after cleaning out King as the last man but really he can have no complaints. Wolves want handball off King but VAR says no. They will play the rest of this with 10 men.
GOAL! Burnley 0-2 Arsenal (Rice 35)
Rice, provider of the first, scores this one himself as he heads in Trossard’s cross from the left. A ninth successive win is surely on the cards here.
The home supporters were still booing the decision to give the corner when Fernandes whipped it into the Forest box. Ouch.
GOAL! Nottingham Forest 0-1 Manchester United (Casemiro 34)
Uproar at the City Ground! Dyche is in the face of the fourth official after United are given a controversial corner. Replays showed that perhaps the whole ball hadn’t gone out. Fernandes takes it, Casemiro meets it right on cue and directs the ball down and into the back of the net.
GOAL! Crystal Palace 1-0 Brentford (Mateta 30)
The France striker heads off to kick the corner flag in celebration after putting Palace in front by nodding in Lerma’s cross!
