By KIERAN GILL, MAIL SPORT REPORTER and CRAIG HOPE, CHIEF FOOTBALL REPORTER and TOM COLLOMOSSE AT THE GTECH COMMUNITY STADIUM and LUKE POWER, SPORTS REPORTER and LEWIS BROWNING, SPORTS REPORTER Updated: 03: 55 AEDT, 26 January 2026 91 View comments Re-live Daily Mail Sport's live blog for the latest score, team news and updates from Sunday's 2pm games featuring Crystal Palace vs Chelsea, Newcastle vs Aston Villa and Brentford vs Nottingham Forest. Right then! It's been emotional! Short but sweet, and we are done here. Congrats today's winners, commiserations to the losers. The headline tie of the weekend, Arsenal vs Man United, is up next. And, if you've missed Luke, you can catch him over there to take you through this game. The link is below. Catch you next time all! Bye! There's still plenty of talk going round about the penalty that Crystal Palace were awarded in the second-half, which saw Jaydee Canvot booked after an accidental handball. Palace fans were happy when they heard the referee say it was accidental, but then a penalty was awarded anyway. We have detailed why what happened. .. happened. Click below to read! Glenn Murray, former Crystal Palace striker, Sky Sports: Quite the performance from the former Brighton man. He's been in great form since Rosenior took over! Hello everyone. Here to dissect all this football stuff, apparently. Busy afternoon, eh? Eight goals, three away wins, and a couple of upsets, I reckon. You'd have done well to foresee Brentford losing at home to Forest, and predicting Newcastle to taste defeat at home is always tough too. But it happened! Alright, lucky readers, Christmas has come early - or late. Two presents for you. First of all, we've got the league table! How exciting. Or not exciting, depending on who you are. I do wonder if Crystal Palace may start to look over their shoulders now. Eight points clear of the bottom three should be enough, but they're winless in eight and incredibly disjointed at the moment. Combine that with Glasner cutting an increasingly frustrated figure, and European football still being there to jade them, and things could get interesting if West Ham continue their mini renaissance. The second gift? Lewis Browning! He'll be taking over the blog from me now to dissect all this football stuff. A giant result for Sean Dyche after some sub-par performances recently. Brentford are usually very solid at home but they were no match for the visitors there. Forest go five points clear of West Ham and level on points with Leeds. Villa are now only four points behind Arsenal, who of course have Manchester United to play this afternoon. Goals from Buendia and Watkins in either half. Disappointing for Newcastle, who remain ninth. Chelsea DO go fourth. Nice work from then. Four wins in five for LIam Rosenior and, at last, he's got a truly convincing performance out of this side. Great work. Estevao and Joao Pedro were on fire. A first away league win since November for the Blues. Chelsea just need to hold on for a couple of minutes now and they will overtake Liverpool to go fourth. That's as much as they can hope for - Aston Villa are nine points up the road from there. Nine minutes have been added on at Selhurst Park, eight at St James' Park. .. and we're still well behind in west London, not even in stoppage time yet. The goals are flying in now! Ollie Watkins looks to have sealed the deal for Aston Villa. A lovely cross curling in from the left with Digne and Watkins dives onto it and heads it into the floor. A huge smile serupts across his face. Villa are still in this title hunt. .. You'd imagine that's the three points in the bag for Forest - and what a win in the context of the relegation battle, putting five points between themselves and West Ham if they can hold on. Awoniyi with the goal. Love Desailly, but can we stop going on about Rose. ..
