And that’s how to take a penalty. The goalkeeper dives to his left and the ball goes hard and high the other way.

Key events
GOAL! Southampton 0-1 Brighton (Lallana, 14 mins)
A lovely move from Brighton ends with a cross from the right-hand corner of the area, and a nicely-judged glancing header from Adam Lallana. In truth it was too close to the keeper, who should have pushed it to safety but opted instead to flap it in haplessly.
If Hugo Bueno is going to mark Yerry Mina at every set piece, this could get very messy for Wolves.
GOAL! Leicester 0-1 Newcastle (Wood, 3 mins)
And that’s how to take a penalty. The goalkeeper dives to his left and the ball goes hard and high the other way.
Penalty to Newcastle! Less than two minutes on the clock and Amartey has brought down Joelinton. You could watch football forever and never see a clearer penalty.
Peeeeeep! They’re off!
There will be a minute’s applause before all the Premier League games for George Cohen, who died this week.
The players are coming out, and the clock is about to strike football o’clock!
Here’s Jeremy Alexander’s match report on that game. Absolutely brutal final sentence.
“I remember Oldham 11 Southport 0 on Boxing Day 1962,” writes Mike Fitzgerald. “The local Southport Visitor newspaper headlined their match report, “SOUTHPORT CAN’T ’OLDAM.” The Boxing Day game that stands out in my memory was travelling to watch my team (Watford) at Fulham in 2000. We lost 5-0 and afterwards I remember talking to Jeremy Alexander, who was reporting on the game for the Guardian, had to file the teams in formation and wasn’t sure given the chaos what Watford’s shape had been. Between us we eventually settled on three at the back and a fluid (or more accurately completely disorganised) midfield seven.
“Re your photo of Goodison’s Main Stand, about 20 years ago I took my father on a stadium tour,” writes Gary Naylor. “Our guide walked in to say hello, a strongly built guy of average height, and my father’s face transformed – Dave Hickson. Both long gone now, but a moment to remember.” Lovely memory of a magnificent old stadium. Sadly now the photograph has long gone too.
