JOSE SA SAVES JOHNSON'S PENALTY!

Wolves 1-0 Nottm Forest A tale of two penalties at Molineux. Ruben Neves scores, Brennan Johnson didn’t. It was a really good save from Jose Sa, low to his left.

PENALTY TO FOREST! Another VAR intervention at Molineux. Nunes manhandled Yates at a corner and the ball hit Traore on the arm. It’s been given for one of them, I think the foul on Yates.

Spurs v Everton is the late game in the Premier League. Scott Murray has the team news from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Fulham 2-2 Bournemouth Bernd Leno makes a really smart save to deny Dominic Solanke, who looks so sharp at the moment.

  • Celtic 4-1 Hibs

“I’ve now been reminded of 25 April 1984 in Rome,” says Simon McMahon. “Thanks for that. Although as a coda to those infamous photos of Jim McLean and Walter Smith carefully studying their shoelaces as they walk off at the end of the game, it should be noted that Smith, with a few players in tow, entered the Roma dressing room shortly after and engaged in, to coin a phrase, ‘a full and frank exchange of views’. Always brings a smile to think about that.”

GOAL! Burnley 4-0 Swansea (Rodriguez 57)

It’s a rout at Turf Moor, where Jay Rodriguez has got his second.

GOAL! MK Dons 1-4 Plymouth

The League One leaders have restored their three-goal lead. Finn Azaz got the goal, his second of the game.

GOAL! Celtic 4-1 Hibernian (Forrest 58)

A hat-trick for James Forrest, whose third goal of the game is also his 100th for Celtic!

GOAL! Wolves 1-0 Nottm Forest (Neves 56 pen)

An emphatic penalty from Ruben Neves gives Wolves the lead at Molineux. It was awarded after a VAR check for a handball by Harry Toffolo, who blocked Traore’s shot with his hands in an unnatural (sic) position. Most of the Wolves players appealed for a corner; instead they got a penalty.

A snifter of hope for MK Dons, thanks to a goal from everyone’s favourite flammable forward.

La Liga Valencia have come from behind to lead the bottom club Elche 2-1 at half-time. The great Edinson Cavani got them both, his first goals for the club.

Peep peep! The second halves are under way.

“The 1980s was a golden decade for some Swedish footballers,” says Samuel Lindholm, referring to the video of Italy 0-3 Sweden on this day in 1983. “Strömberg to Atalanta, Corneliusson to Como, Hysén in Liverpool etc after the UEFA Cup triumph for IFK Gothenburg where all three featured. Lovely!”

And if it wasn’t for that pesky Urruti, they might have won the European Cup as well.

Peep peep! It’s half time up and down the land, and these are the latest scores in our featured games.

Half time: Wolves 0-0 Nottm Forest Move along, nothing to see here.

League One The leaders Plymouth are 2-0 up at MK Dons, but second-placed Ipswich have just gone behind at home to Lincoln.

Fulham 1-1 Bournemouth A bit of controversy at Craven Cottage. Tim Ream seemed to clearly grab the arm of Ryan Fredericks, but the on-field referee gave a goalkick and VAR didn’t interview.

GOAL! Sheff Utd 2-0 Blackpool (Ndiaye 24)

Iliman Ndiaye has headed in from close range to double Sheffield United’s lead. They’ll be top of the Championship tonight.

GOAL! Reading 0-1 West Brom (Phillips 25)

Managerless West Brom have taken a deserved lead at Reading.

That didn’t take long. James Forrest has put the leaders in front against third-placed Hibs.

GOAL! Sheffield United 1-0 Blackpool (McAtee 8)

GOAL! Fulham 0-1 Bournemouth (Solanke 2)

Hello! Dominic Solanke, who has been in fine form of late, has put Bournemouth ahead at Craven Cottage. It was a fine goal, sidefooting into the roof of the net after a neat one-two with Philip Billing. If Bournemouth win today, they’ll move to sixth in the table. Gary O’Neil is doing a helluva job.

FA Cup: Blyth Spartans 1-1 Wrexham A dramatic finish at Croft Park, where Michael Richardson scored a last-minute equaliser for the home side. GET ME RYAN REYNOLDS’ TWITTER HANDLE QUICKSMART, AND THE OTHER FELLA’S.

Ten minutes to kick off

Excited? You betcha.

Leicester 0-0 Crystal Palace

Here’s Ben Fisher’s report on a thriller at the King Power Stadium.

WSL Ten-woman West Ham have won 2-1 at Aston Villa, for whom Alisha Lehmann missed a penalty. That’s a terrific result for West Ham, which lifts them to sixth in the peculiarly drawless table.

Championship

Rotherham have beaten Huddersfield 2-1 at the New York Stadium, with Georgie Kelly scoring the winner. And third-placed QPR, who are level on points with the leaders, have lost 3-1 at Luton.

Scotlandwatch “After back to back home wins against Aberdeen and Hibs, Scotland’s form team Dundee United will be looking to make it three wins in a row at Ross County today,” writes Dundee United fan Simon McMahon. “After being winless and rock bottom of the league a week ago, United could conceivably end the day in ninth place, only two points from the top six, and just six behind Hibs in third. Or we could lose and end up bottom again. Your guess is as good as mine. Today’s other SPL games are Celtic v Hibs, St. Mirren v Kilmarnock and Livingston v St. Johnstone.”

Full time: Leicester 0-0 Crystal Palace

The early game at the King Power Stadium has finished. If you don’t want know the score, DON’T GO ON THE INTERNET.

It’s another frustrating day for Leicester, though a second clean sheet in three games will please Brendan Rodgers.

The last top-flight meeting between Wolves and Forest was in March 1984, when the bottom club did serious damage to Forest’s title challenge with an unlikely 1-0 win at Molineux.

Fulham v Bournemouth team news

Wolves v Nottingham Forest team news

“Wrexham’s FA Cup battle v Blyth Spartans is scoreless entering half time,” writes Mary Waltz. “Yes, it is being televised live here in the States. Amazing what a documentary can produce.”

That must be a contender for the most unlikely televised game ever, just behind the Craggy Island All Priests Over-75s five-a-side Indoor Football Challenge Match.

Updated

The Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood has been arrested on suspicion of breaching his bail conditions.

“Greater Manchester police are aware of an allegation regarding a 21-year-old man breaching his bail conditions and an arrest has been made on Saturday 15 October 2022,” a statement read. “Enquiries are ongoing at this time.”

WSL latest There’s one WSL match today: Aston Villa v West Ham at the Bescot Stadium. West Ham lead 2-0 after 50 minutes through Dagny Brynjarsdottir and Honoka Hayashi.

Meanwhile, in Paris

There are a couple of early games in the Championship. It’s half-time at Kenilworth Road, where Luton lead third-placed QPR 1-0 thanks to a goal from Elijah Adebayo, and at the New York Stadium. Rotherham 1-1 Huddersfield is the score in that one, Danny Ward having equalised for Huddersfield after a goal from Conor Washington.

Live scores

The clockwatch is a one-man operation, and a shell of a man at that, so it’s impossible to announce all the goals as they go in. Happily, this handy live scores page will keep you abreast of all the games.

The bottom club Leicester are playing Crystal Palace in the early game. Scott Murray is watching that one.

Preamble

Hello and welcome to another super soaraway Saturday clockwatch. For a number of reasons, there are only two 3pm games in the Premier League, with all the promoted clubs in action. Fulham play Bournemouth in a mid-table meeting at Craven Cottage, and Nottingham Forest visit managerless Wolves. A win for either team, or a draw for Wolves, would take them out of the bottom three.

There’s plenty going on elsewhere, including the Championship leaders Sheffield United at home to Blackpool and a whole heap of games in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round. We’ll have team news shortly.
