Horsepunchers grab an early lead over the Gooners, off a proper No 9 header from Isak.

arsenal just tried a fancy fancy training ground free kick that fizzled when the kick taker hit it waist high.

Come on Liverpool, get it together.

Virgil cleans out Tsimikas, looks like he's okay to continue but the shoulder took a hit.

City and Liverpool both concede first. Could be a crazy day!

That was the worst half I’ve watched Liverpool play at home in years … probably should be two or three down.

They look as jittery as a rattlesnake in a room full of rocking chairs

Far too many passengers - Tsimikas was dreadful - as was Szobozlai .. did he even get a touch?

Seems to be a structural problem as well - Brighton moving effortlessly up the field.

And now Konate seems to have hurt his arm or shoulder badly.

Slot has a midfield problem. I’m not sure what balance between personal and tactics is responsible, but it’s been too easy for the past several opponents to build through the midfield like a training exercise.

Rare when you see Mo Salah fail to convert on a chance like that.

Where does Salah rank in terms of all time Liverpool greats?

California. Duh.

I never want to say until they are done, as players can sometimes damage their legacy on the way out, but he's approaching the Dalglish, Gerrard, Rush tier for me. Will be the player this era is most remembered for.

Meanwhile Southampton beats Everton for the second time this season (carabao cup also).

I’ve seen enough.

Dyche out.

Joe Gomez had a great game defensively after coming on. Was left exposed a few times and did really well to stop some good chances for Brighton. He scares me at times when he's put out wide, but looked really solid at CB.

Spurs were having the better of a scrappy half hour, but Villa clean up a messy corner. Ouch.

Spurs dominate possession but Villa strike first on a corner. 20 goals allowed on set pieces under Ange, according to the broadcast just now, if I heard it right.

Vicario is awful on set pieces, it's a massive Achilles heel and hasn't gotten any better.

Villa have done really well limiting Spurs from any high quality chances.

Vicario is generally bad at set pieces but I don’t think the goal is on him. The corner took a double deflection off two Spurs players before he saved the initial attempt, which was actually a good save. Just unfortunate that the rebound fell to Rogers. But the real fault here is on the multiple Spurs players who had chances to clear the ball away and instead flicked it towards their own goal.

That’s the value of a good #10. Kulu has done nothing in this game but then plays a beautiful first-time reverse throughball to put Solanke in on goal.

Richarlison sets up a lovely third and then gets hurt again. He just can’t stay healthy.

First Spurs free kick goal I can recall in a while.

Great win for Spurs/Ange. Ipswich next week offers another great chance at three points and start sniffing around the Top 4.
