Saturday football

1. Leicester make it two wins from two at West Ham
2. Stoke come back from 2-0 down to draw at Spurs
3. Sunderland lose 3-1 at home to Norwich
4. Swansea win 2-0 against 10-man Newcastle
5. Watford and West Brom end in stalemate

That's all folks

That is all from us for today's football, folks. We'll back for tomorrow's action. Thank you and goodnight.

Tomorrow's action

MOTD's Guy Mowbray:  "Last season's corresponding fixture came too soon to be a blockbuster, and this being even earlier feels something of a waste.

"On last weekend's displays, City are favourites. Their performance at West Brom was magnificent and Vincent Kompany's goal celebrationsand post-match words outlined a point to prove to those who've written them out of title contention. Some will have already changed their minds!

"Overshadowed by 'medicgate', Chelsea were a level down from their best against Swansea. They'll have to be better to get the point Jose Mourinho would gladly take here. If they don't, he might need a doctor."

Tomorrow's action

MOTD's Jonathan Pearce:  "Arsenal haven't lost their opening two league games since the first ever Premier League season 23 years ago. They bounced back to win the FA Cup and League Cup that season.

"But a defeat at Selhurst where they're unbeaten in 12 visits would rock the club to its core. They could almost kiss goodbye to any title dream.

"Palace have pace in wide areas to hurt an Arsenal side which was below par against West Ham, although they had no fortune.

"They always seem to have their share in this game though, and if the real Arsenal turn up they should have too much for Palace. If they go there half-baked, they could lose again."

Tomorrow's action

There are two Premier League games tomorrow and they promise to be pretty damn good. First up is Crystal Palace v Arsenal at 13:30 BST, followed by Manchester City v Chelsea at 16:00. See. I told you.

Lawro's predictions

So, how did Lawro do in his predictions this week? He went for wins for Sunderland, Tottenham and West Brom and Swansea to draw with Newcastle. OK, not so great then. But he did back Leicester to win at West Ham.

Championship latest

It is half-time at Loftus Road and QPR lead 1-0 against Cardiff. They have Clint Hill's header from a corner to thank for that. Good old Clint Hill, where would the Super Hoops be if they couldn't wheel him out every other season for a Championship campaign after all their big-money signings have left post-relegation?

Premier League recap

So, to recap (so you know what you're getting on MOTD tonight), Norwich claimed their first Premier League win under Alex Neil with a 3-1 victory at Sunderland, whose fans will be worried. Very worried. Ditto their local rivals Newcastle, who were beaten 2-0 at Swansea after having a man sent off. 

Tottenham chucked away a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with a spirited Stoke and West Brom nullified Watford to claim a goalless draw at Vicarage Road.

Everton thumped Southampton 3-0 and Leicester made it two wins out of two to beat West Ham and go top of the table. Yep, it is the second week of the Premier League and Leicester are top. All hail the Tinkerman!

Championship transfer update

Speaking of the Championship, we have some breaking news on the transfer front...

Championship update

There is no late Premier League game this evening but there is one in the Championship, featuring two teams who have recently played in the top flight. At Loftus Road, QPR have just taken the lead against Cardiff through Clint Hill's header from a corner.

Manager reaction

Mark Hughes to BBC Sport: “After the break we understood what we needed to do better, talked about it in the break and came out with more resolve. Our hard yards were good and we started to affect the game. 

"The substitutions helped us, we just started to retain the ball in the final third and started to create chances. If the game had gone a little bit longer who knows we might have been greedy and claimed two more points.

" Stephen Ireland’s a very good player. I know the quality that he has. Since he’s come to Stoke he probably hasn’t had the opportunity he think he deserves but he knows the respect I have for him. We’re strong this year, we’ll be ok. 

"We just need to manage games better than we did in the first half and if we do that we’ll do well. The spirit has been great. The key is that we’re bringing good players in and good guys as well.”

Manager reaction

West Ham boss Slaven Bilic speaking to BBC Sport: "It is a bad result of course after a good start. We didn't play good enough in the first half. We started well but after that we were second best. 

"We lost the game in the first half. Two-nil down is very difficult to come back from. We are very disappointed.

On substituting Reece Oxford at half-time:  "It was not that he played worse than the rest of the team. He played well but our passing was really slow in the first half and with Pedro we were much quicker in tempo.

"We scored a gaol early enough to play our normal game but with more aggression. We had a great chance for the equaliser through Diafra Sakho, I was expecting us to score a second, but we didn't.

On Adrian's sending off:  "Initially I thought it was not a red card but then I saw the replay and it is dangerous play. It was obvious Adrian didn't mean to cause harm. I am more than sure it was not deliberate. He was just following the ball and was unlucky."

Manager reaction

Watford manager Quique Flores to BBC Sport: "I am happy with the performance of the team. We planned for the match and it was difficult to play against West Brom. We tried to find space to attack and created chances. West Brom are solid at the back. We were close to getting a good result. 

"Most important is that the fans are happy. We are working like a club, like a family.

"The players feel good and are full of confidence. They are competitive in the matches."

Manager reaction

Newcastle manager Steve McClaren: "We didn't learn a lot apart from it is difficult to win with 10 men. 

"A little bit of naivety has cost us, 10 men and your backs are against the wall. We have to dust ourselves down and concentrate on the Manchester United game next week.

"I'm not too sure whether it was a second booking but we knew he would be a danger and unfortunately we fell into the trap."

Player reaction

Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen to BBC Sport: “We probably saw ourselves winning but in the end we didn’t. We showed a lot of confidence the first half. We played really well the first 30 minutes, but slowed down. Everyone was disappointed and don’t get how you can be 2-0 up and end up with a draw.”

Player reaction

Sunderland midfielder Lee Cattermole on BBC Sport:  "We are conceding goals out of nothing and it is very disappointing. Things have to change quick and we have a lot of hard work ahead. It is up to the players, manager and staff to kick on and fight. We have to look to improve."

Garth Crooks

Final Score

There is something wrong at Sunderland football club. You go back to former managers Steve Bruce, Roy Keane, Martin O'Neill, Paolo Di Canio...

Player reaction

West Ham defender Carl Jenkinson, speaking to BBC Sport: "In the first 10 minutes we started well but after that it was an uphill battle. I didn't think they really took control of the game, they were decisive with their finishing but I would not say they outplayed us. It is frustrating, we got one back and I thought we would get another but it didn't land for us.

"I thought the red card was a bit harsh, it was a high foot but I am sure it was accidental. I ended up in goal but fortunately I didn't have too much to do."

Player reaction

West Brom defender Jonas Olsson on Sky Sports: "Everyone who watched the game saw that there was not much in it. Both teams wanted a result. We were solid and stuck to our game plan and had a few chances in the second half. In the end, it is a good point for us."

Final Score

Former Newcastle manager Alan Pardew had them playing the best they could play. Maybe we need to give new boss Steve McClaren more time. He wants to bring in English players, but it will cost him.

Manager reaction

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino to BBC Sport: “In football it’s never closed until the final whistle. It’s disappointing. The team played very well for 70 minutes and the penalty changed the game a little bit. 

"We need to be optimistic, look forward and keep working. From my position it was difficult to see what happened, I don’t know if it was a penalty or not, but until this moment we played really well and created chances.”

AP

Manager reaction

Stoke boss Mark Hughes to Sky Sports: “First half it wasn’t what we were looking for, we allowed Spurs a little bit too much time, too much space, and played into their hands. I’m disappointed with both goals, really. 

"At 2-0 it was a big task for us but we understood what we needed to do, disrupt their rhythm, and do the hard yards. I think the substitutions helped, we got more craft on later in the game and that opened things up. We got our reward and we were by far the better team in the second half. 

"I’ve got a lot of good players who are disappointed when I don’t pick them. We were able to bring good quality on that affect the game. I’m delighted with the second-half performance, it wasn’t a complete 90-minute performance, but delighted to take the point.”    

Manager reaction

Norwich boss Alex Neill on BBC Sport: "I thought it was very good, similar to last week in that we dominated the game. 

"We had the cutting edge this time though. "The first goal is crucial and we got it and didn't look back. I have a great group, they work hard and work as a team."

Final Score

They produce players all the time. Garry Monk's selection of players is spot on. If he continues like this then if Everton boss Roberto Martinez struggles then he's the perfect choice.

Manager reaction

Sunderland manager Dick Advocaat on BBC Sport: "Two games two defeats we did not expect. With all respect to Norwich, we must get the result but they were the better side in everything. 

"We have to discuss with the players how we go on. It was the same in pre-season and you hoped it would change but it is not changing. Myself as well, I am responsible for that, no doubt. "

Together we have to find out if we can find the solution. Expectation we high, we have to find the reason otherwise we have no chance. There were many good players, Yann showed he is a good player. We have to find out the reason, they can talk and I can talk."

Manager reaction

Swansea manager Garry Monk: "We dominated the whole game from start to finish. When the red card does come it impacts on the dynamic of the other team more and they sat back after that.

"We were very professional in the second half and made sure we won the game with a clean sheet. 

"We started well, got a fantastic goal. We were very professional after the sending off and we could have had more goals."

Getty Images

Manager reaction

West Brom manager Tony Pulis:  "We talked about Watford starting at a high pace and we looked like it was surprise. But we restricted them to few chances. The changes made a bit of a difference. This is there cup final in a lot of respects. It was a wonderful atmosphere."

On Saido Berahino's late miss: "It was a good chance and he will be disappointed. But he is a good player."

On transfers: "We are hoping to do a lot of business in the next few weeks, with people coming in and going. It is a period of transition and hopefully it will gel properly and we can move forward."

Martin Keown

Final Score

Stoke were dead and buried at half-time, but when Mark Hughes is in charge of a team he never gives up. Stoke got what they deserved - they really battled.

Manager reaction

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri, speaking to BBC Sport: "All the match was good for us. We are playing well. All the players play like a team, they play with the ball on the ground and it is important to increase our stamina and fitness, and also our mentality.

"We are working very hard with the defensive line. I have very good players in front, very fast but it is important we all stay together.

"I didn't want to defend too deep but when you see your players go deep it is better to help them with their mentality."

Tottenham defender Eric Dier to Sky Sports:  "We started really well and played well for the majority of the first half, we looked to be comfortable but that’s what we need to work on, to not slow down and keep going. It was our fault last season and we’re disappointed we’ve done it again this season. I felt it was our fault more than theirs, we let them back into the game. It’s more of a mental thing than a physical thing with us. We’re a young team and we have to improve that."

Gillingham couldn't follow up last weekend's 4-0 win over Sheffield United, drawing 1-1 at Port Vale. Sheffield United did win, beating Chesterfield 2-0, and there were victories too for Barnsley, Oldham, Peterborough, Scunthorpe and Walsall.

Jack Butland on Sky Sports: “We weren’t ourselves in the first half. We were looking to start the game fast today and we didn’t do that. We didn’t match them in that first half and switched off a couple of times but the second half we showed what we’re about, got on the ball and made things happen. 

"Stevie (Ireland) is an incredible player, he can make things happen and tear players apart. There’s a massive buzz around the club. Even after the loss last weekend, we’ve got great belief in ourselves, the ability we’ve got, the signings we’ve made, will have surprised many.”

On the run of play Tottenham probably deserve to win this game. It wasn't until Stoke made those substitutions and the impact of Stephen Ireland that the complexion of the game changed.

RED CARD for West Ham

Late drama as West Ham goalkeeper Adrian is sent off! He was up for a corner, and was watching the ball drop as he stuck his boot into an opponent's chest. Red card.

FULL-TIME

Two points from two games for Watford, but it could have been more. They had the best of this game but were unable to find a cutting edge. West Brom had a couple of chances themselves and could have nicked the points, but it is their defensive display that is the most impressive facet of their game this afternoon.

Sunderland don't look like a team today. It's all very well bringing players in, but you also have to work with what you've got. Norwich have been excellent, but Sunderland simply haven't been good enough.

Handbags at the Lane as Erik Pieters and Kyle Walker push and shove and grab each other's necks a bit. It's a very football type of scrap and ends with both walking away with grimaces but little dignity. We are into injury time.

GOAL - Sunderland 1-3 Norwich

Ex-non-league striker  Duncan Watmore bags a debut goal for Sunderland, firing into the corner, but it is not going to trouble the outcome of this match. 

Tense times at Watford. It remains 0-0 with little time left. Watford have been hammering at the door all game but West Brom have held firm. Now, the fears for the home side are that the Baggies could nick one.

YELLOW CARD

For the second game running, Aleksandar Mitrovic is booked a minute after climbing off the bench. This time for squaring up to Neil Taylor. 

Steve McClaren said he wanted more aggression from the young striker. Maybe not this much.

This is why the Premier League is such a good one. It's now 2-2 and all to play for. The only thing you can guarantee in football is that you cannot dominate for 90 minutes.

How the goal was scored

Stoke's well-worked equaliser at Tottenham, scored by Mame Diouf.

Football League round-up

What a day for Jabo Ibehre - he's completed a hat-trick for Carlisle, and yet still might not end up on the winning side. His goal has brought them level against Cambridge, where the score is 4-4. Incredible.

GREAT SAVE!

Almost for West Ham!

The ball comes to Diafra Sakho in the middle of the box, he swivels and powers a shot on goal, it is straight into the Kasper Schmeichel's chest. 

The Leicester keeper knew little about it, but he was in the right place at the right time.

Football League round-up

The drama continues at Ashton Gate, where Andre Gray has given Brentford a 3-2 lead at 10-man Bristol City.

It's looking tough for Sheffield Wednesday, who trail 2-1 at Ipswich and have lost goalkeeper Keiren Westwood to injury. Joe Wildsmith has come on for his league debut.

Michail Antonio has given Nottingham Forest a 2-1 lead at home to Rotherham - a good recovery from Dougie Freedman's side, who were behind.

Chris Martin has scored for Derby to cancel out Tony Watt's opener for Charlton at the iPro Stadium. It's 1-1 there - as it is in the matches between  Huddersfield and Blackburn, and between Fulham and Brighton.

Garth Crooks

BBC Final Score

It can only happen to Tottenham. They could lose this game now. Harry Kane goes off and there's no one who can play with their back to goal. No one can retain the ball. It's let Stoke back into the game.

GOAL - Tottenham 2-2 Stoke

Unbelievable! And like that, in a flash, Stoke are level. Stephen Ireland charges in to the box to receive a forward pass and crosses for Mame Diouf to glance a header past Hugo lloris and in. At least I think Diouf got a head to it. It might have just gone straight in from Ireland's cross. The Stoke fans don't care. They go absolutely wild. 

Follow dedicated live coverage of Tottenham v Stoke here.

West Brom's best chance goes to Saido Berahino, who has a large portion of the goal to pick from with a header but somehow steers his effort past the post.

We are now going to have a frenetic last 10 minutes. Tottenham can't get a foothold back in the game.

Bury, Scunthorpe, Sheffield United and Walsall all lead 2-0, Oldham are 1-0 up against Fleetwood, and Peterborough retain a 2-1 advantage over Colchester.

From what I've seen both last week and this week, I don't think Sunderland are going to stay in the Premier League. Whoever does Match of the Day tonight is going to have a field day. Sunderland have been done there by a rudimentary one-two.

Stoke are pressing for a goal at Tottenham. They have no choice. They need two just to get level. Marko Arnautovic has a couple of shots from range, the first of which is saved the second flies over the bar. Between the two, Mame Diouf had a header saved.

For me, this can only get worse for Newcastle. They simply cannot handle Jefferson Montero and Andre Ayew and the two combine again to almost give Swansea a third, but Ayew heads just over.

FA Cup qualifying extra preliminary round

Football League round-up

It's some game at Brunton Park this afternoon between Carlisle and Cambridge. Five goals in the first half, and now two more in the second. Charlie Wyke brought the home side level, but Luke Berry has put Cambridge 4-3 up.

A leveller too at Broadfield Stadium, where Adebayo Akinfenwa had headed in for AFC Wimbledon against Crawley. It's 1-1 there, as it is between Newport and  Stevenage.

Garry Thompson, who missed a golden chance as Wycombe went out of the League Cup at home to Fulham in midweek, has atoned with the goal that has given his side a 1-0 lead at Barnet. Elsewhere,  York lead Hartlepool 1-0.

Salomon Rondon's first act in a West Brom shirt is to cut inside and blaze a shot way over the bar from an angle.

West Brom are sending their £12m record signing Salomon Rondon into the action at Watford. Can the striker give them more of a threat up front? They have barely had a look-in in the Watford half so far.

GOAL - Sunderland 0-3 Norwich

Is the game in synch with the West Ham-Leicester one? Every time a goal goes in one game, one goes in the other!

Unlike the West Ham game this goal puts the result surely beyond a doubt as Nathan Redmond plays a one-two with Wes Hoolahan and scores.

I think the third goal will see the game off. It looks like Stoke will make a substitution shortly and it looks like midfielder Stephen Ireland and Joselu.

GOAL - West Ham 1-2 Leicester

Game on! 

Dimitri Payet has the ball inside the area, turns a defender inside out before rifling the ball into the roof of the net.

Tottenham should be 3-0 up. Harry Kane has just Jack Butland to beat from eight yards out after being found by a cross into the box but his side-foot finish is superbly saved by the diving keeper.

"Bolton are all at sea," says BBC Final Score reporter Peter Slater, at the Riverside to witness a rampant Middlesbrough build a 3-0 half-time lead.

Extraordinary stuff too at Ashton Gate, where there have been four goals and one red card. It's 2-2 between Bristol City and Brentford  at the break, with Derrick Williams scoring the own goal equaliser to bring the visitors level, after the Robins' Luke Freeman was sent off for a bad challenge on Harlee Dean.

It's 1-1 in the matches between Fulham and Brighton, Ipswich and Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest and Rotherham. Preston and Huddersfield hold 1-0 leads. Derby's game with Charlton is goalless.

From the sublime to the ridiculous from Watford's Jurado, who leaves two West Brom defenders in his wake courtesy of some neat footwork on the left before curling a shot deep into the stand.

Stoke keeper Jack Butland will feel the wrath of his manager Mark Hughes for his distribution. He will be encouraged to get the ball out from the back and get some football played.

Football League round-up

Scoreline of the day in League One so far is at The Den, where Coventry look home and dry as they lead Millwall 3-0. Stranger things have happened, though...

Bradford, Bury, Oldham, Scunthorpe, Sheffield United and Walsall hold 1-0 half-time leads, while Peterborough are 2-1 up on Colchester, having been behind.

Port Vale are drawing 1-1 with Gillingham, but there are no goals yet at Barnsley or at Blackpool.

Newcastle have doubled up on Jefferson Montero, and he’s roasting them. The last time I saw right-footed player on the left who hogs the line so well was John Robertson at Nottingham Forest. By the time you go for the ball, he’s pulled it round and he’s away from you.

Football League round-up

It sounds as if it's been a thriller in the first half at Brunton Park, where Cambridge lead Carlisle 3-2. Jabo Ibehre scored twice for Keith Curle's side to bring them back from two goals down, but Barry Corr's second of the match has given the visitors the advantage.

There are 1-0 leads elsewhere for Crawley, Luton, Morecambe, Portsmouth and Teddy Sheringham's  Stevenage (as they will no doubt be referred to repeatedly this season - sorry about that).

Northampton lead Exeter 2-0, while Leyton Orient are winning at Dagenham and Redbridge by the same score.

It's no less than Tottenham deserve. Stoke could not have done too much about it. The longer the half has gone on the more Harry Kane has got involved.

Norwich have played really well so far. Russell Martin's goal was an excellent reaction from him. Steven Whittaker then broke from the right and scored with a super strike.

HALF-TIME

Could that goal right on the cusp of half-time from Nacer Chadli prove decisive? On the basis of the first half, yes. Tottenham have been largely in control from the off. Stoke had a very good chance to level but Diouf failed to convert and they paid the price. It is a long way back from here.

HALF-TIME

The half-time whistle goes with Leicester holding a two-goal lead, but some late controversy as Diafra Sakho raced on to a ball into the box, knocked it past Kasper Schmeichel, who had come off his line, and the West Ham forward went tumbling to the ground. The home fans wanted a penalty, nothing given.

HALF-TIME

And it's Norwich who end the first half on the front foot.

GOAL - Tottenham 2-0 Stoke

Tottenham strike a crucial blow just before the break, just a few seconds after Hugo Lloris' save to keep them ahead. Ben Davies breaks down the left, nipping the ball past a man to swing over a cross that falls for Nacer Chadli, steaming in to the box from the opposite channel to hammer a shot that finds the net off a slight deflection from a Stoke defender.

HALF-TIME

To say it's been Swansea's half would be an understatement. Bafetimbi Gomis put them ahead before Newcastle had Daryl Janmaat sent off for persistently fouling Jefferson Montero, who hit the post with a shot.

BBC Final Score

West Ham, after a terrific game last week, are playing a different game today. It's much more open, and Leicester have ripped them open with their pace. West Ham haven't got the balance right today.

GREAT SAVE!

Hugo Lloris has just rescued Tottenham after some shoddy defending allows Mame Diouf a header from the edge of the six-yard box. The striker steers his effort towards goal but not past the keeper.

What's happened to the West Ham side that was so impressive against Arsenal? They are about to go into half-time 2-0 down and without a shot on goal...

HITS THE WOODWORK

You don't often see Branislav Ivanovic given the run around, but he was last week by Jefferson Montero. 

The Swansea man is once again impressive as he cuts inside from the left flank and shoots low towards the near post, but the ball smacks against the base of the upright.

Odion Ighalo comes close for Watford, picking up a lose ball in the box and then firing over from eight yards out. He should have done better.

Football League round-up

Coventry are having a terrific afternoon at Millwall, leading 3-0 thanks to two Adam Armstrong goals and one from Ruben Lameiras.

Marcus Maddison has scored twice for Peterborough, who have come from a goal down to lead Colchester 2-1, while Louis Dodds has scored for Port Vale to make it 1-1 against Gillingham.

Elsewhere, Danny Philliskirk's goal has given Oldham a 1-0 lead over Fleetwood.

RED CARD for Newcastle

Newcastle's task has just got harder as Daryl Janmaat is sent off after being shown a second yellow. The Newcastle full-back had pulled on the shirt of Jefferson Montero, and the referee decides he has to go.

Stoke have offered little so far at White Hart Lane to suggest an equaliser is imminent. Mark Hughes is prowling his technical area with a very concerned look on his face. He certainly needs the half-time break more than Mauricio Pochettino.

Middlesbrough are running away with it against Bolton at the Riverside - Kike has scored twice and it's 3-0 after just 32 minutes.

Two quick goals at Portman Road, where Ross Wallace put Sheffield Wednesday in front, but Freddie Sears equalised for Ipswich. It's 1-1.

Bristol City lead Brentford 2-1, Brighton are 1-0 up at Fulham and Preston lead MK Dons by the same score.

Sunderland are struggling to mount a meaningful response to that freak Norwich goal as Jermain Defoe starts an attack that has promise, but Jeremain Lens goes for goal from 25 yards and can only watch as it drifts harmlessly wide. 

The Black Cats need more bite in the final third, no shots on target with half-an-hour gone.

CLOSE!

Jonas Olsson takes a booking for the team by hacking down Odion Ighalo - who was on the charge - on the edge of the box. This is a dangerous free-kick for Watford... Jurado steps up and curls it a yard past the post. Myhill was at full stretch. He was worried.

Swansea are on the hunt for a second now as Andre Ayew tees up Gylfi Sigurdsson, but his shot is deflected behind for a corner. Newcastle clear, but Jonjo Shelvey picks the ball up before sending it back into the area. He can't find a team-mate, though, and Newcastle survive.

Now that is how you maraud as a full-back. Right-back Nyom charges out after a West Brom corner and carries the ball to the edge of the Baggies box before unleashing a shot that Boaz Myhill has to palm away.

Football League round-up

Cambridge are off to a flying start at Carlisle, leading 2-0 already thanks to early goals from Barry Corr and George Taft.

The rest of the division is struggling to keep up. Paul McCallum has put Leyton Orient 1-0 up at Dagenham and Redbridge, while Morecambe lead Accrington 1-0 thanks to Aaron Wildig. That's it so far.

Watford are turning the screw. Ikechi Anya digs out a cross from the left, which Troy Deeney heads back into the six-yard box towards Odion Ighalo, who is just beaten to the ball by Boaz Myhill. It is a testimony to Watford's dominance so far. But, as they say, you have to score when you are on top.

West Ham are punished for not doing enough with all that possession they had as Leicester snatch the lead. Shinji Okazaki's initial volley from a cross is saved, but he is on hand to head in the rebound.

Better from Sunderland as Jermain Defoe gets free inside the area, looks up and tries to pick out Steven Fletcher but there is too much pace on the pass and his strike partner can't reach it.

Football League round-up

Gillingham got their League One season off to a great start by thumping Sheffield United 4-0 last Saturday, and they're 1-0 up at Port Vale - Bradley Dack the scorer.

Nigel Adkins' Sheffield United  side are having a rather better time of it so far this weekend, as Che Adams has put them 1-0 up against Chesterfield. Bury, Coventry, Walsall and Swindon also lead.

Perhaps the division's most intriguing fixture is at Blackpool - playing their first home match since a pitch invasion forced a game against Huddersfield last May to be abandoned. Extra security measures have been taken at Bloomfield Road today to avoid a repeat as Rochdale visit. No trouble so far, but no goal either.

How the goal was scored

Opta

Not sure you need a diagram to illustrate how the Spurs goal was scored, but here you go... just in case you didn't you understand what a corner was.

How's Newcastle's response been to that early Swansea goal? Not bad, as they win a couple of corners in quick succession, Lukasz Fabianski pushing behind Gabriel Obertan's shot, before Federico Fernandez heads the next corner behind. Swansea are coping for the time being, but the pressure is building a little.

Stoke will be disappointed with conceding that. Dier has got in front of his man and headed that in. It was good movement - he just spun away to the back post then made a dart to the near post.

One other goal to tell you about - a cracker from Diego Fabbrini for Middlesbrough, who lead Bolton 1-0.

Cracking goal by Swansea, which started from the goalkeeper and finished with the ball in the back of the net. I make it 21 passes in the move. 

Great start to the season so far for the Swans.

Troy Deeney has already flashed a header wide of goal for Watford. This time he goes even closer with a shot from the edge of the box that bounces in front of Boaz Myhill but is saved by the keeper. Watford are on top but have nothing to show for it so far.
