Goal! Arsenal 2-0 West Ham (Saka 67)
The VAR had a look and Diouf’s foul was adjudged to be in just inside the area. Saka’s penalty is emphatic, right into the top corner.
64 mins: Arsenal 1-0 West Ham Penalty for Arsenal, was that in the box?
60 mins: Manchester United 2-0 Sunderland It’s a triple change for Sunderland, Chemsdine Talbi, Eliezer Mayenda and Brian Brobbey replace Wilson Isidor, Arthur Masuaku and Bertrand Traore.
58 mins: Arsenal 1-0 West Ham Changes for the Irons, Magassa and Füllkrug go off, with Freddie Potts and Callum Marshall coming on.
56 mins: Arsenal 1-0 West Ham Crysencio Summerville is booked for a foul on Bukayo Saka, the Arsenal man has been taking a few kicks.
55 mins: Manchester United 2-0 Sunderland Sesko is linking up really nicely with Mbeumo. The big man holds up the ball and plays a nice pass around the corner to Mbeumo, who drives into the box but fires well over.
Dortmund are pushing for a winner against Leipzig but that one is still 1-1. I’ll have a full run-through of full-times from the Bundesliga shortly.
In the Championship, Millwall have doubled their lead against West Brom thanks to Femi Azeez.
53 mins: Arsenal 1-0 West Ham It’s all Arsenal here. Trossard is in the thick of it, he gets to the byline by ghosting past Aaron Wan-Bissaka but Mavrapanos gets over to block his shot out for a corner.
51 mins: Arsenal 1-0 West Ham I haven’t typed the words Viktor Gyökeres yet today, largely because he’s done nothing and he’s still yet to do anything. He has chance to poke in a second from Rice’s excellent low ball across goal but the Swedish striker’s stretch isn’t stretchy enough. He has to get there.
47 mins: Arsenal 1-0 West Ham There’s a quick VAR check for an Arsenal penalty but that’s not going to be given, the ball flicked a West Ham defender’s arm from very close range.
Peeeeeeeeeep!
Play is back underway at the Emirates and Old Trafford.
A new low of Sheffield Wednesday in the early kick-off at Hillsborough as Coventry swaggered into town and left with a 5-0 victory amid onfield protests against Owls owner Dejphon Chansiri. A group of home supporters entered the pitch and caused play to be stopped for ten minutes.

Half-time: Manchester United 2-0 Sunderland
Loads of action at Old Trafford and United have had the best of it. The best performance of the season for Amorim’s side.
Half-time: Arsenal 1-0 West Ham
Arsenal nearly get a second just before the break as Riccardo Calafiori’s hits the post with a low strike, it hit the back of Areola before being hooked clear. West Ham will be hoping to carry more of a threat after the break.
45+3 mins: Manchester United 2-0 Sunderland VAR penalty review! Stuart Atwell is sent to the screen for a high foot in the box by Sesko on Trai Hume but the referee sticks with his onfield decision. That’s a big call but it doesn’t look like there was any contact. Sunderland get a corner, not a penalty and from that Daniel Balllard has to score at the back post but misses with his header. DRAMA!
I missed this earlier, but Yang Min-Hyeok has put Portsmouth ahead against Championship leaders Middlesbrough and the hosts have made it through to half-time 1-0 up.
45 mins: Arsenal 1-0 West Ham Now they have the lead Arsenal are taking the sting out of this one. It’s a lot of easy possession on halfway with West Ham camped out deep.
44 mins Manchester United 2-0 Sunderland Tactics Tim on Sky is ranting about systems. He’s getting very excited United are going long to Sesko and Mount is picking up the second balls. What an odd perversion.
Derby have levelled at home against Southampton, Patrick Agyemang scoring that one.
In Italy, Scotland international Che Adams has equalised for Torino at the Stadio Olimpico to make it 2-2 against Lazio.
Goal! Arsenal 1-0 West Ham (Rice 38)
This has been coming. Rice shows Eze how it’s done as he converts a loose ball when it falls his way on the penalty spot after Areola turned away Saka’s initial shot. That was harder to control than it looked.
35 mins Arsenal 0-0 West Ham Saka hits the deck and there is a moment of concern, he’s not crocked too is he? He’s fine. The West Ham box is facing a barrage as the hosts stack set-pieces, so far Areola is holding firm.
A couple of League Two updates to bring you, Grimsby are winning 2-0 at Salford and Bristol Rovers are 1-0 up at Walsall, good news for Swindon who won earlier and currently sit on top of the league.
Goal! Manchester United 2-0 Sunderland (Sesko 31)
That’s two in two for the big man as he gets on the end of a flick on from a long-throw. Route one is back.
29 mins: Arsenal 0-0 West Ham Odegaard has gone down again. He tried to play on but couldn’t and Zubimendi is now on for the Arsenal skipper.
25 mins: Manchester United 1-0 Sunderland Big save from Roefs to deny Bruno Fernandes, tipping the shot on to the post, and Amad should put in the rebound but misses the target with his header on the follow-up. The changes appear to have worked from Amorim.
24 mins: Arsenal 0-0 West Ham Goal disallowed! Rice plays in Saka with a lofted pass that pierces the West Ham defence, it’s well-finished but the winger had gone early.
22 mins: Manchester United 1-0 Sunderland Amad bursts into the box after carrying the ball from near halfway and stings the palms of Roefs.
21 mins: Arsenal 0-0 West Ham Concern for Arsenal and the fun-time midfield could be broken up early. Odegaard took a knock in a challenge with Summerville and he’s had lengthy treatment on it. It would be a blow if the skipper has to go off.
Jake Cooper has put Millwall ahead against West Brom. It’s 1-0 to the home side at the Den.
18 mins: Arsenal 0-0 West Ham Nuno looks pensieve on the touchline but West Ham have started pretty well all things considered. Arsenal have had the best chance but the visitors look pretty well organised.
